Dad said he was called on the carpet by a department official after a recent event. One highly offended individual at the event complained that dad ended his prayer with “in Jesus's name.”
Dad told the official that he could no more deny Jesus than he could deny that he is black. Note: Dad did not apologize, beg for forgiveness, or vow never to do it again. The official let it go."
We give them the power. We can take it away.
The Jewish boat story.
The Boat
A group of people were travelling in a boat. One of them took a drill and began to drill a hole beneath himself.
His companions said to him: “Why are you doing this?” Replied the man: “What concern is it of yours? Am I not drilling under my own place?”
Said they to him: “But you will flood the boat for us all!” (Quoted in Midrash Rabbah, Vayikra 4:6).
(from the teaches of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai; AKA the Rashbi)
It’s all a matter of taking away the drill from the idiot drilling inside the boat.
The left has power because a majority of Americans are in tacit agreement with their ethics or their goals. Change the hearts and minds of the majority, and the left will lose power.
“we” do.
Lousy answer. There is no such person as “we”. It’s an amorphous dodge, since without a mass communication campaign there is no “we”.
So, who gives such power? A substantially uni-focused mass communication apparatus, i.e., the major media.
The bible says that it is God Himself who appoints the princes and kings of the earth into their positions of power.
It is not because we fail to vote republican...
It’s because we fail to stand up for God and His truth that we have the left in power.
“I was the only black person. There was not the slightest vibe of racial tension in the air. I believe that such is the state of race relations among a majority of Americans”
well, yes and no.
i’m a die hard new England patriot fan, and was elated at their three super bowl victories. I loved troy brown, Rodney Harrison, Richard Seymour et al. the fact that they were black was not even an issue.
after the election of Obama and the absolute hysterical focus on race, and things like the “beer summit” with skip bates and the white cop, well i’m not a racist, but a persons race or religion now pops out at me.
Shorter answer - Way too many uneducated (regardless of college) idiots that have no thinking ability beyond their professors. These folks are a detriment to society.
Are you ready for this future?
That's a lot of power. If it's not all of their power, what's the rest of it?
What lies in our power to do, lies in our power not to do.
Aristotle
Wow, your dad is blessed!
“Who gives the left so much power? Much of the left’s power comes from the mainstream media,”

They left out public education, which, along with the media, is strongly Progressive/Marxist.
The left knows that Education and Media are the keys to taking the country.
