Spellcheck can never replace editors.

Otherwise interesting read
The author’s mistake is that he thinks he can reason with Democrats, Marxist or Muslims. It cannot be done.
Power and control (through politics) is their religion.
The only way to reason with a leftist is to put a boot on their face. Give them exactly what they give you. /spit
I married into a Jewish family but for the life of me I don’t understand how “Christ is King” is even remotely anti-Semitic. I would love for some Jewish Freeper to explain it.
No true Christian is going to tolerate being self-censored on this issue.
??? The author lies. It is not a sin to profess that Our Lord, Christ, is King. Goska is a demented Christophobe.
What if I wore a Rainbow colored Keffiyeh with a Star of David on it?............
“It [Communism] is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different versions of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of Man without God.
It is the vision of man's mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world. It is the vision of man's liberated mind, by the sole force of its rational intelligence, redirecting man's destiny and reorganizing man's life and the world. It is the vision of man, once more the central figure of the Creation, not because God made man in his image, but because man's mind makes him the most intelligent of the animals. Copernicus and his successors displaced man as the central fact of the universe by proving that the earth was not the central star of the universe. Communism restores man to his sovereignty by the simple method of denying God.”
Whittaker Chambers, "Witness"
It was, for me, one of the most politically influential books I have ever read.
Yeah this is pure baloney. Rhetoric? It is standard boiler-plate Christianity. ANY theological beliefs are going to...ahem..."raise alarms" with people that disagree. Do Jews think the Talmud's accounts of Christ doesn't alarm Christians?
"Don't raise alarms" is an impossible standard for anyone to meet.
Sorry, but this last part of the author's argument is simply atrocious and completely unpersuasive.
I had no idea that the expression “Christ is King” was considered to be bullying. Does Candice know this?
his new "religion" promotes collectivist and anti-individualist ideologies
It figures that he's the one who'd turn out to be a worthless filthbag in real life.
If that’s the author’s point, glad I didn’t read the stupid article. Jesus is the Lord! Christ is King!
Amen!
Yes, indeed.
Thanks for posting; as good as it is long.
It’s a combination of Progressive political philosophy altered by Marxist ideology and merged into secular humanism, to produce a secular religion.
When you hear those who manifest this new religion best, you hear a pastiche of collected and preset pat phrases strung together as if saying something when, intellectually, they have said nothing beyond memorized “verses” from their new well indoctrinated scriptures.
Anything that Takei is involved in should be immediately junked. He is a blithering idiot.
True. That said, it is an observable fact (alas) that the phrase has been co-opted by splinter groups who are in fact hateful, and some of them are sort of monarchist Catholics who are in fact privately eager to talk about white supremacy....not just the superiority of western civ., but white Europeans as a race.
I found this fact to be sort of scary.
Especially because the Christian Reformed subculture uses the phrase “Christ is King” often and it’s not really a dog whistle for anything. Well, ok, maybe it’s a dog whistle for predestination....within that subculture.
But the monarchist/white supremacist crowd that circulate in tiny numbers throughout the conservative movement are not good people, they do not like America, and they are actually a bit racist and often anti-Semitic in addition to being stridently anti-Israel.
I don’t believe (or agree) that Candace is anti-Semitic. She is critical of Israel, and of the US’ relationship with Israel. I’d say most of us here at FR don’t agree with her on that, but I’d like to think that most of us should always pay attention, keep an open mind, continually re-assess our relationship with Israel, and listen carefully to Thomas Massie and others.
And on social media platforms, sadly, it is advisable to not re-post somethign put up by someone who is saying often and loudly “Christ is King” because if you scroll back through their content, you might find some very non-American, non-Christian, and non-conservative stuff in there. That’s just a sad reality.
(and I think that those who use the correct and beautiful phrase “Christ is King” in this way are in fact using the Lord’s name in vain, and that is always always always wrong)
