And as proxy servants of the devil, the Left also attacks faith in the one true and living God of Scripture, and its moral world-view, and require assent to its deceptive ideology and worship of the state instead, in fundamentally changing America. A certain former President addressed liberal deception and the manner of freedom it eventually leads to:
‘’Simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly,’’ Mr. Reagan said as he discussed the nuclear freeze issue. ‘’It means the betrayal of our past, the squandering of our freedom.’’
The President argued, in effect, that his national security goals were parallel to with the nation’s founding spiritual values. He echoed a debating point of the past in praising as a ‘’profound truth,’’ a young father whom Mr. Reagan said he once heard discussing Communism with his daughters.
‘’I would rather see my little girls die now, still believing in God, than have them grow up under Communism and one day die no longer believing in God.’’
There was strong applause as Mr. Reagan the President delivered this line with dramatic emphasis, and an undertone of cheers could be heard in the hall, too.
‘’Let us pray for the salvation of all those who live in that totalitarian darkness,’’ the President Mr. Reagan said, adding that Americans also must not forget that Communists ‘’are the focus of evil in the modern world.’’
He then criticized unidentified people, individuals who, he said, would have the nation accept Communists ‘’at their word and accommodate ourselves to their aggressive impulses.’’ - https://www.nytimes.com/1983/03/09/us/reagan-denounces-ideology-of-soviet-as-focus-of-evil.html
