Doing a great job of it, too. I have had the goals in my purse for years to remind me of what I'm fighting against.
I won't put up with PC in my presence anymore either.
Awww!
Well will ya look at that.
How dare they desegregate the schools.
Tut, tut, tut.
Those damn desegregationists, pretending to do the right thing when all along they're really just commies bent on world domination.
Can anyone say Pinky and the Brain?
When I cheekily muttered disparaging remarks about the quality of the stuff to my boss, he exhorted me rather firmly. He collected rare posters, pamphlets and other ephemera from pre WWI and pre WWII Germany. He had a mother-in-law in East Berlin at the time of our working together. He noted that it was the flakey organizations and flakey publications which MOST ACCURATELY AND EARLIEST PREDICTED HITLER'S VALUES AND ACTIONS TO COME.
Certainly not all the rantings of such groups are gospel. However, there are threads of import for those wise and diligent enough to ferret them out.
I'm increasingly convinced that the truth is readily available for most interested in seeking THE TRUTH out.
I'm increasingly convinced that it's not the lack of truth being available that's the problem--as usual--it is the heart of man. Some of us are not the least bit interested in the truth. Some just want to do what they want to do; when they want to do it; the way they want to do it--and to blazes with any detractors.
My reading of reality is that God will allow them the destination of their choosing--AWAY from HIM. In between time, they will plague the planet and those of us more interested in sanity, a healthy society and a genuine relationship with Almighty, Loving God.
The old "if it feels good, do it--as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else" mantra is an ignorant rationalization for those hell-bent on various forms of mental, personal, social and physical masturbation--whether by hand or using various handy victims. They want to talk about interdependence only as it relates to their getting someone else's goodies at little expense or responsibility to themselves. The idea of restraint or "NO!" is anathama to them.
We now have the society they strove for so energetically--where only the insane are sane in Eric Fromm's words. In due course they will discover what reaping the whirlwind entails. Until then, they are a plague on us all. . . . as too much of what's in them is also in the person in our mirrors. The pollution is extreme and pervasive.
Only The Blood of Jesus washes it away. But He can't be one's Savior without being one's Lord. And for too many, there's the very unorgasmic rub.
They know little to nothing of FREEDOM IN RESPONSIBILITY; Joys unwordable in submission to the TRUE LIBERATOR [from death, the world and the devil]; PEACE that passes understanding in the midst of raging war crossfires; True Serenity in the face of monster quakes, volcanos, meteors and ET's that go bump, thump, probe & extract in the night.
The dark is getting darker. The Light is getting brighter. Choosing not to choose will be increasingly seen as a stupid, wimped-out, deadly choice. In one Scripture passage, "cowards" are among the murderers, homosexuals et al rejected of God.
At some point, the greased slides will have deposited their charges in the eternal cesspool. Choice will no longer be much of an option. The reaping will have occurred. And the chaff will have been incinerated.
Until then, one is wise to prayerfully consider the evidence--and learn to walk humbly with brokenness and contrition hand in hand with The True and Eternal King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
