Is the left worth saving?
American Thinker ^ | 9 Nov, 2024 | D. Parker

Or is 400 years’ worth of a failed ideology enough?

Ruy Teixeira and others of the far left have been trying to figure out what went horribly wrong in their electoral defeat, but they’re starting from the wrong premise: that this is about the “Shattering of the Democratic Coalition.”

Their problem is at a far more fundamental level.

The rest of the leftists are refusing to look inward. Instead, they’re blaming others and doubling down on what defeated them in the first place. But it’s time to consider the cost of lives and misery of the people in entertaining the Utopian fantasies of a small cadre of collectivists and refusing to indulge them any longer. It’s time to reject the ideologies of collectivism, no matter how they’ve been repackaged and renamed over the years to dupe another set of devotees into their cult. It’s been 400 years of mass murder and misery on a global scale. When you consider the historical evidence, it should be easy to say no to a small and spoiled socialist segment that wants to pursue this insanity.

In many ways, the far-left ruling class should be like an alcoholic who has hit rock bottom before he can recover. These leftists are collectively out of touch and ideologically bankrupt. They are still invested in the absolute lie that communism (or one of the other labels) has never been tried before, so it can’t be that. But anyone with common sense should know that leftists are like a used car salesman who has to keep changing names after he’s caught cheating customers.

Collectivism — or its many variants — has been inflicted on mankind for centuries, and lies and language legerdemain are the only way to get a new generation to fall for the trap.

There is no treatment for rabies — once set in.
There is no treatment for pedo.

Answer is obvious. The herd must be culled.

Worth saving?

No, in the political sense.

Yes, as one hopes for their spiritual renewal, but that’s going to take them a little effort to seek truth.

Solzhenitsyn called the left “the enemies of the human race”. Who would want to save them? Who can afford to save them? Why even consider not destroying them? What a stupid question in the headline.

Many? Try all. And that kind of thinking is explicitly condemned in Isaiah 5:20.

God’s curse is not being able to distinguish good from evil.

If I were you I wouldn't use that term when discussing God. God DOESN'T curse people. If you really believe that then you have it all wrong.

Somehow I knew someone was going to say this. Maybe you're right, maybe I'm wrong, but the cold hard truth is that God is not going to allow unrepentant sinners to waltz into Heaven and turn it into a Hell hole. But enough of my blathering. Her is some context.

"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."---Genesis 12:3

Yeah, and I knew someone would come back with some scripture. I don’t think the word ‘curse’ in that context means exactly what we use it for today. In that scripture I think it refers to after the end of life, not an ongoing ‘curse’ as we think of it now.

And at the same time I don’t think God minces words. However you want to interpret the use of the word “curse”, it’s still something other than a blessing. And rightfully so because even though salvation is free, you first have to want it.
