What would our nation look like if every day, every American -- of every background and ethnicity -- were to wake up with the conviction that they are 100 percent responsible for the circumstances of their lives?
No blame, no victimhood, no excuses saying that what is happening to them is because of someone else.
It touches, I believe, the heart of Christianity.
At any given moment, you may not have control of what is outside of you. But you have control over what is inside of you. Change what is inside first, and then you will change what is outside.
We have faith in a loving God who wants us to take responsibility, and when there is failure, there is forgiveness and another chance.
Too many in our country are paying a great price by listening to politicians on the left who are telling them the opposite.
Consider the black Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock, who is now running as a Democrat in one of the U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
Warnock is a poster child of the left, which embraces the view that the world is unfair, controlled by racists and exploiters.
And for some reason, Warnock, like so many of this point of view, chooses to zero in on Israel, the very model of success through personal responsibility, as a problem rather than a solution.
Just last year, after visiting Israel, he affixed his signature to a Group Pilgrimage Statement on Israel and Palestine.
That statement identifies Israel as an "oppressive" regime, accuses Israel of segregation, speaks of militarization "reminiscent of the military occupation of Namibia by apartheid South Africa" and of "excessive use of force" by Israel in Gaza.
These total distortions of the truth in service of a left-wing political agenda should be a wake-up call for those thinking of casting their vote for this individual.
Regarding the reality of Israel, we can turn to the nonpartisan organization Freedom House in Washington, D.C., which annually rates 210 nations around the world as being "free," "partly free" or "not free."
Israel is the only nation in the Middle East rated "free."
But Warnock and his colleagues ignore oppression throughout the region and only choose to attack the one country that is free.
This freedom is enjoyed not only by the Jewish citizens of Israel but also by the nearly 2 million Arab citizens of the country. In my first visit to Israel, I couldn't help but notice the amazing diversity, with Jews from all over the world -- white, brown and black.
Regarding the situation in the West Bank and Gaza, where Palestinian Arabs live, their absence of freedom and prosperity is their own choosing. They control their future, not Israel. Rather than aspiring to build better lives for their citizens, they choose regimes that set a priority to destroy Israel.
In 2005, for example, Israel unilaterally withdrew its presence from Gaza. The Palestinian regime there was free to start building a nation. Rather than doing this, it started lobbing missiles into Israel. The Palestinian Authority prime minister announced, "We are telling the entire world: today Gaza and tomorrow Jerusalem."
Israeli settlers who were displaced when Israel withdrew moved inland, started irrigating the desert with desalinized water and, within five years, were exporting $50 million worth of organic potatoes, carrots and peppers a year.
I wrote about it then, quoting the late Art Linkletter, television personality and outspoken Christian, who observed, "Things turn out best for people that make the best of the way things turn out."
I said then that Linkletter's observation captured why Israel has grown and prospered and why Palestinians have languished.
The same is true in America.
This Christmas, let's choose freedom and personal responsibility.
Check out Tucker Carlson from last night. He had a video of Warnock fighting with his wife, then running over her foot. Police were called. Wife had a tearful sequence describing the incident.
Kemp and his ilk expect conservatives to get out to the polls and eat an excrement sandwich by voting for RINOs while the legislature does nothing about the blatant fraud on Nov. 3rd.
It's hard to believe that Kemp could be so stupid as to take conservative votes for granted like this.
Shocking Bodycam Footage of Cops WRT Altercation Between Georgia Democrat Candidate Rev Raphael Warnock and His Wife
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 12/22/2020 | Christina Laila / FR Posted on by bitt
Fox News host Tucker Carlson exclusively obtained shocking bodycam footage of police responding to an altercation between Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Rev Raphael Warnock and his now ex-wife. The Georgia runoff is two weeks away ....but the public is just now seeing this bodycam footage from March 2020.
Rev Warnock’s wife is seen making an emotional plea to police officers, “I would like to file a report.” Rev Warnock’s wife accused her estranged husband of running over her foot during a heated argument while he was trying to leave with their young children in the back seat.
“This man is running for United States senate and all he cares about right now is his reputation,” Rev Warnock’s wife said. “I work at the mayor’s office and this is a big problem. I’ve been trying to be very quiet about the way he is for the sake of my kids and his reputation. I’ve tried to keep the way he acts under wraps for a long time and today he crossed the line.” She added, “He’s a great actor. He’s phenomenal at putting on a really good show.”

Not so subtle change “will continue”, or possibly “accelerates” are more accurate for situation.
We have been on this road for a couple decades. Only difference right now is we are close to the end game and more of the sheep recognize the sheers.
It is a victimhood religion that attempts to draw parallels with the Israeli's while in slavery in Egypt.
The primary difference is Israel was freed from slavery by God whereas blt remains in slavery by Satan.
Warlock and Jeremiah Wright (wrong) are both proponents of blt. Recall also it was michelle who brought bammy to wright's church....and he didn't leave.
Their minds, like many others in the black church, have been deluded by this false theology.
(Title) And we’re going to get to listen to Schmucky, again, telling us what the Senate is going to do.
And the courts are going to be packed, to undue the gains of Sanity.
And virus-disseminating China is going to eat what is left of America.
This, if Trump cannot prevail.
The wrong direction? Georgia already appears to be a haplessly corrupt state run by cowardly feckless RINOs.
“hopelessly”
