But Thomas Sowell said (I have to paraphrase this) that the policies of leftism are abundant only because the people who promote them never have to experience them firsthand.


Leftism has more than one cause. There is no magic bullet to fix things. Wisdom says understand some of the major things and use that information.

The response also is not a magic bullet. One thing one time won’t do it for most things. Don’t put down anyone doing a small thing for our cause.

The reference here is to justice. Swift justice and experiencing the results. I only touched the hot stove once as a child. But then I was also grabbed away from the stove, my wound soothed and taught what happened.

But may be the most important thing is us:

Why do we fight?

If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask why you fight, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me?

Trump can answer that question. George Washington could. Can we?

Good post. This part also caught my eye.

*** Wisdom says understand some of the major things and use that information.***

Proverbs 9:10 - The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (New American RE Bible)

One of the reasons that leftists aren’t wise is because they do not fear or respect the Lord. Some of them don’t even acknowledge that He is.
