It is too bad that none of the folks that really should read this will.

I recommend Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom”. He clearly elucidates the inexorable dynamics of statism.

It all comes down to ONE Simple Phrase.

“Endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

This is where the battle lines have been drawn.

...and I would suggest “The Naked Communist” by Skousen, to tell you how far your enemies are willing to, and will go in the pursuit of power and domination of their fellow man. Though no one seems to be willing to call them what they really are, servants of Satan, and enemies of God and man, right down to the individual members of the Democrat Party. There, I said it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooops, I forgot to share the wealth. My previous should have included some individual members of the Republican Party as well. They know who they are and refuse to admit it.

The universities in the United States are using anti-Creator instruction. Anti-God indoctrination is embedded in our obstetrics training.

Should be required reading for anyone who spends much time on FR.

I keep an insightful passage on the similarities between Nazis, Communists and Socialists on my FR profile page. It’s the 3rd one down, 2 paragraphs.

This country is is pretty much evenly divided and that other half is hopeless even more so than the South during the Civil War.

Great quotes on your page.

The second of the two paragraphs (fourth on your page) contains a salient point often obscured.

It’s not just Hitler, or Stalin, or Obama, or whoever. It’s the ideas they purvey that sway untold millions to buy into the scam.

For centuries, such totalitarianism was the rule (pharoahs, kings, tyrants, etc. - even the French revolution so devolved.) The American Constitution was the exception. Hence its demonization by the statists, because they know how to live high on the hog by shilling for the big lie.

As a Christian, I have long considered the implications of a society without a foundation in the Creator. It’s the difference between trusting flawed men as a group or flawed individuals that are moral.

The groups morality quickly becomes subjective and a hierarchy emerges that is sustained by compromise. There is no way around this.

Our Constitution is built around the Sovereignty of the Individual. The Framers clearly understood and feared the Tribal nature of consolidated power whether from the Government or the Church.

If they can take away God, the Christian God, they take away our foundations for all our beliefs.

The Left replaces those foundations with uncertainty as the Norm. They promote and embrace uncertainty by abusing science and its methods.

Satan vs. God.

It’s my humble opinion that if the Left accepts Satan as being real, they will have no choice but to accept God.

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul to waste
And I was ‘round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Communism differs from a socialism in one regard only, that being the socialism is implemented in nations who have royal families or people who previously ruled the nation state; communism is implemented without regard for prior leaders usually by putting them to death. The politics of both ‘isms are the same, as are the outcome and inability of the people to remove the communist or socialist government.

Regardless of minor squabbles over the ideological details, the American Left shares a rejection of the Judeo-Christian worldview, with its view of humanity as fallen and therefore prone to abuse power. That worldview and its view of human nature are essential to the limits and separation of governmental powers in our Constitution.

secular humanist worldview + marxist worldview + new age + postmodernism + mohammedumism = leftardism worldview
