During yesterday's radio broadcast by Jan Markell on her program Olive Tree Views, her guest was the brilliant author David Kupelian. He is also the author of the Marketing of Evil and the Snapping of the American Mind.

He wrote this piece 9 weeks ago, and I was compelled to read it. His points are spot on. Whatever we call the hard core left (progressive, liberal, socialist, communist, Marxist) - there is little doubt they are all driven by the same evil desire: rebel against the one true God. The God of Abraham. The Judeo-Christian God.

As it was in the days of Noah, it is today. All out rebellion against God. EVERYTHING the left does is defiance towards the God that made them and sustains them with each breath they take.

Syposis of how the left violates the 10 Commandments, and revels in their wickedness:

The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17):

1. Thou Shalt Have No Gods Before Me.

Through Pluralism they deny who God is, and Government is their god - among many other false gods. Including making themselves "gods."

2. Thou Shalt Not Make Graven Images.

Idolaltry. Liberalism is built on it. Animal worship, pantheism, environmentalism, the idols of “reproductive freedom,” “sexual liberation and equality,” worshipping the creation instead of the Creator.

3. Thou Shalt Not Take the Lord’s Name in Vain.

This is not so much a warning against profanity as it is a warning to not use God's name for evil purposes. The left commits this sin every single day. Moreover, they mock God, Christ, and those who believe in Him. They also persecute Jews and Christians.

4. Remember to Keep Holy the Sabbath.

The left’s influence on American culture, government and law has profoundly changed what was once a reverent, Judeo-Christian culture into a secular-left atheistic one today

5. Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother.

The destruction of the family is a foundation of the evil left. The two parent family with a mom and a dad has been under siege for decades by the left. Democrats diminishe parental rights and encourage children to rebel against the antiquated conventions held by parents. It denies that children even need a mother and father and bristles at the “heteronormative” lack of “gender neutrality” inherent within the very words “mother and father.”

6. Thou Shalt Not Kill.

Abortion, euthanasia, “pro-choice,” “reproductive rights,” “death with dignity.” Also, 100-200 million people slaughtered or starved during the 20th century as a direct result of the imposition of the far left’s insane totalitarian-utopian system.

7. Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery.

Were this one commandment observed, the ever-metastasizing “sexual revolution” of the 1960s, brought to us entirely by the left, would disappear – and along with it the Pandora’s Box of tragedies and disasters unleashed by normalizing and glorifying extramarital sex. We’re talking about over a million abortions each and every year; astronomical levels of out-of-wedlock births and a corresponding epidemic of family breakdown, divorce and fatherlessness, with all the terrible societal ills that brings; a staggering 110 million Americans with sexually transmitted diseases; and today’s ever-more-bizarre LGBT movement, including the rapid upsurge in lost souls trying in vain to morph into the opposite sex.

8. Thou Shalt Not Steal.

Class warfare. Unfair taxation. Government seizure of private property. "Wealth redistribution" is Obama's most imporatant goal.

9. Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness.

The ends justify the means. Bearing false witness about detractors of liberalism is what they do. The left and its political fortress, the Democratic Party, never ceases to violate the Ninth Commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” Indeed, the left’s No. 1 battlefield tactic for occupying new ground is its nonstop defaming, demonizing, suing and lying about conservatives, Christians and others who oppose its blindly destructive advances.

10. Thou Shalt Not Covet.

Winston Churchill’s called Socialism "the gospel of envy" and his words encapsulate two profound truths: One, socialism is a religion to its adherents, and two, it appeals to and institutionalizes one of the darkest parts of human nature – envy. In thus glorifying and ennobling covetousness, socialism not only violates, but utterly rejects, the Tenth Commandment: “Thou shalt not covet.”

Good writer. I read his recent book last week.

I’ve thought for years that they are the party of the 7 deadly sins.

Soth, gluttony (think obesity epidemic fueled by EBT)

Envy, Greed (the rich got rich by stealing from you, we’re going to make them pay)

Wrath - (spewing or dripping disdain, name-calling, etc.)

Lust - (the sexualization of just about everything, and abortion to keep it “safe”)

Pride - their know-it-all and holier-than-thou attitudes.

[trebb]

It ain't just the Left - we all trample over any number of the 10 Commandments every day - then tell ourselves we didn't do it (or "rosary" the sins away).

Paul lamented he did that which he would not do and did not that he would do - he sinned despite having met the risen Christ and being given a huge role in carrying the Word.

I'm not saying the Left isn't more prone to get off on it, just that it's about hypocritical to ignore "our side" while looking down our holy noses at others.

That said, I get off quoting Jesus to some of my liberal acquaintances as He tells them that He will put the goats on the left and the sheep on the right and tell the goats that He knew them not.....I tell them where we got the Left and Right wing Parties from.....

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I remember Rush Limbaugh, a long time ago, saying that the left hates the Ten Commandments because it is a list of everything they are doing wrong.

“The Ten Commandments always accuse. That is their chief use. They also serve as a rough curb against gross outbreaks of sin. But they also function as the “true fountain” from which all good works must spring. We never have to try to invent or create works to do that are pleasing to God or go beyond what He has given us. In these Ten Commandments we have the guide we need to understand what truly pleases to God.”

‘Hating Jesus’: Liberals Declare Spiritual Warfare

Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

We live in dire times. But, with Christ, it’s never too late to turn the tide.

I wonder what it is about the minds of leftists that they get so much pleasure out of opposing the Ten Commandments and the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments). It’s like they are stuck in that oppositional middle school mindset and never grew up.

[fella]

Modern day political campaigns constantly cater to ‘the seven deadly sins’ with the promises that they never intend to fulfill.

Wow. Spot on.

The Left has convinced the Caucasian Race, for one reason or another to abort itself into oblivion.

[stinkerpot65]

The purpose of “tolerance” is destruction of Christianity.

[FNU LNU]

I thought he hit the sabbath commandment kinda light. How does the left violate the sabbath commandment?

[Gritty]

This nails the agenda of the Left.

It is straight out of the mind and doings of Satan to destroy God's Work and mankind as inheritors of it as His adopted children to fully partake in it forever.

[Salvation]

The Catholic Ten Commandments are a summary of “the conditions of a life freed from the slavery of sin” (Catechism, 2057).

They must be understood in relation to the “law of love”: Love of God and love of neighbor summarize all of Catholic morality. The law of love is also the first principle & source of the moral law. It contains “all the law and the prophets” (Mt 22:40).

The Catholic Ten Commandments are a description of the minimum that love requires.

Christian life itself requires much more than simply following the Ten Commandments. See the full article on Catholic morality for a discussion of this important point.

“What’s ‘Catholic’ about them?”
While the entire Judeo-Christian tradition uses the same Scriptural content for the Ten Commandments, their exact division and numbering varies.

The Catholic tradition uses the division of the Commandments established by St. Augustine. (The Lutheran confessions also use this numbering, while some other confessions and traditions use slightly different numberings.)

Here are the Catholic Ten Commandments:

I am the LORD your God. You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.
The Ten Commandments and Catholicism have been bound together since the time of Christ. In fact, Jesus refers to the Ten Commandments and assures their validity in his dialog with the rich young man in Matthew’s Gospel (Mt 19:16-21). The Catechism refers to this in item #2052.

Warning: The following opinions may be offensive to some FReepers.

The "Ten Commandments" (`Aseret HaDibberot) actually don't apply to non-Jews, but in both it and the Seven Noahide Laws the first commandment is the prohibition of idolatry. And ironically, when it comes to this first and most important commandment the Right in America is as guilty as the Left.

In traditional American ideology, the "right" to commit idolatry (to worship something other than the One True G-d) is regarded as the first and most basic "G-d-given right"--"religious freedom." Part of this is because Evangelical Protestantism has replaced statutory religion with an "offer of salvation"--which each individual is perfectly free to reject.

Another reason--and perhaps the most basic--is the relativism which centuries of religious chaos has engendered. There are so many opinions--so many ways of reading the bible (and don't feel too smug liturgical chrstians; there are four separate interpretations of tradition and theology in your camp as well)--that most people believe there is no way to know objective religious Truth and that we won't know for sure who was right and who was wrong until we're dead (G-d forbid).

All this is a consequence of the rejection of the simple objective statutory religion G-d gave in the very beginning for any number of "prophesied 'fulfillments.'"

We didn't arrive in our current mess out of nowhere. There was something wrong to begin with, and the only way out of this mess to to deal with it. Sorry, but the 50s aren't coming back. The 50s were part of the decay to begin with.
