What is a Christian Nationalist? If you follow Jesus and you love America, you must be feared.
American Thinker ^ | 02/25/2024 | John Leonard

Posted on 02/25/2024 9:03:25 PM PST by SeekAndFind

On MSNBC “award-winning investigative journalist” (from Politico) Heidi Przybyla said this recently:

Remember when Trump ran in 2016?  A lot of the mainline evangelicals wanted nothing to do with the divorced real-estate mogul who cheated on his wife with a porn star and all of that, right?  So what happened was, he was surrounded by this more extremist element.  You’re going to hear words like Christian Nationalism, like the new apostolic reformation. These are groups that you should get very schooled on because they have a lot of power in Trump’s circle. And the one thing that unites all of them because there’s many different groups orbiting Trump but the thing that unites them as Christian nationalists — not Christians by the way, because Christian nationalist is very different — is that they believe their rights as Americans don’t come from any earthly authority. They don’t come from Congress, they don’t come from the Supreme Court, they come from God.

Horrors!  Does this mean that a Christian nationalist believes what the Declaration of Independence said — that our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness come not from King George III, but from our Creator?  How does that separate a Christian nationalist from any other ordinary Christian?  What is she trying to say?

Przybyla continued:
The problem is that they are determining, man — men — are determining what God is telling them. And in the past, that so-called natural law ... it’s a pillar of Catholicism, for instance, and has been used for good. In social justice campaigns, Martin Luther King evoked it talking about civil rights. But now you have an extremist element of conservative Christians who say this applies specifically to issues like abortion, gay marriage, and it’s going much further than that, as you’re seeing for instance in the ruling in Alabama. The judge is connected to a dominionist faction.
Um...what? Is Ms. Przybyla trying to say that mainstream Christians support abortion rights and gay marriage, but Christian nationalists do not?

It’s nothing more than loving your nation, wanting it to
be safe and prevail again all comers.

The Marxists try to twist the meaning into something like
a die hard Hitlerian cult member.

Of course this is the same group that thinks little boys
are girls and little girls are boys. So don’t expect too
much intellectual gems out of them.

I heard an interview with the late Justice Ginsburg and she said our rights are natural rights, not given by government, but it is government’s job to protect them. That has been the standard American understanding until fairly recently.

The most important function of intelligence is to develop and organize our perspective of origin, meaning, relationship and morality.

Heidi’s comments demonstrate she hasn’t attained any of the above.

How about if you believe in God and America?

Is that allowed?

I am content to be labeled “Christian nationalist”. It’s not the most accurate label but it will do just fine for now.

Not if they can help it, no.

They want a “one world” government run by unelected bureaucrats accountable to no one, or maybe these days, administered by computers. They laid the published philosophical framework down at least by the 1950s in the academic papers in the post war order, it was discussed at length in mainstream publications. Churches were definitely seen as part of the “problem”, you see. Church attendance was high in America in those days. America was great - because Americans were good.

Recognized as a serious impediment to achieving their goals, a lot of spook activity was deployed working to break up the pillars of what holds a society together. The family is the basic building block of any functioning society. They don’t have to really try and hide it any longer because at least half the country doesn’t even know what day it is.

Perversely the myriad voluminous studies that showed what works in education, what makes for the greatest number of healthy, functioning children and adults - also indicates what doesn’t work, and potential weaknesses. If you’re wondering why the schools are so screwed up - it’s because they don’t want educated people who can think for themselves, people who will object to their plans. That’s why they set up fatherless households on welfare. That’s why they prohibited Medicare from being used for mental health in 1966 and later, emptied the insane asylums out onto the streets.

That’s why they want to “empty the prisons” and allow criminal thugs from emptied prisons to pour across the border. Noticing a pattern here?

Everything is done towards an eye towards destabilize everything, collapse the system, in order to build their Utopia. “The worse, the better”. We’re getting pretty far into the worse part.

And she had that cuck, former RNC chair, Michael Steele sitting right next to her nodding his cuck head.
These people are sick.

The World Council of Churches was founded in 1948.

“How about if you believe in God and America”

Chaplains led Christian-Nationalists in prayer and song on decks of ships during WWII.

You know, I try to shy away from using terms like that, but
I just can’t help it. They can’t figure out that our
cities are being destroyed, our kids are being sexually
terrorized by the time they are five, wiping out large
swaths of Black people through Sanger’s Eugenics program is
swell, open borders with undeniable terrorist access,
retail prices up as much as 20% in three years, who thinks these things are good?

Exactly!

I mean, isn’t that almost a dead certain positive human
trait?

I can’t image a human on the planet that doesn’t want their
own homeland to be safe and prevail.
