An Unsound Mind
For the
previous some odd years, those who follow politics can’t help notice the
plethora of comments and accusations used by those on the (political) right to
judge those on the (political) left. For instance, there are comments that
include pejoratives like: the loony left, left-wing loony, left-wing nut job,
left-wing moron, useful idiots, sick leftists, mentally ill left, dangerous
progressives, and the like (some of which are not even remotely printable). We
daily hear conversations peppered with words like “nuts”, “crazy”, “insane”,
“unbelievable”, and many more such comments. Some openly aver that "Liberalism”
(an unfortunately inaccurate misnomer for “leftists” that belies their truly
un-American, Marxist, and progressive doctrines) is a mental disorder. Is that
just a euphemism or perhaps is it just perfunctory and rhetorical: maybe just a
few men’s opinion?
Can it be
true that so many people (half the country’s population according to duly recorded
voters’ bi-polar [sic] political disparity) could be so deliberately and harshly
judged and esteemed as being bereft of a sound mind? Is it so that those being
judged are manifestly and rabidly hostile to their own nation, their own
heritage, and their own countrymen? Is it actually fathomable that half of our
country cannot discern between good and evil and that they, in fact, call
“good” evil and “evil” good?!
And, just
whose and/or what standard of judgement is being used against these
frothing-at-the-mouth-foes of righteousness? Is it an objective universal canon
that presumes to apply to all men equally or is it a subjective cultural
phenomenon (which would actually be a cultural failure if the first instance is
true)?
Let’s start
with some obvious anchors. This is necessary because we are going to see a
dynamic where leftists/Democrats/Democratic
Socialists/Marxists/Communists/Progressives depart from these anchors
and continue with their short and long-term agendas to destroy America.
First is the
constraint of the U.S. Constitution. It’s the “law of the land”. The interesting
thing about laws is that they are rules that are not subject to negotiation.
They are absolutes representing the bottom-line objective truth of any matter.
They are the instruments by which peace is maintained for, without obedience to
rules/laws/standards, there can be no civilized society and there can be no
peace, therefore.
The U.S.
Constitution was established by men who understood that it would not be a functional
instrument without both compliance but also a certain people who were determined
to make it work. In other words, a moral and righteous people who had the wisdom,
understanding, and common sense to make it function as envisioned by its
creators. It was, and is, the only document ever created that allowed for self-governance
that implemented a very strictly limited leadership.
This leads us
to the next anchor and that is “the Rock”, Himself. This Rock is also an
absolute. He is the absolute bottom-line truth and there is no other truth but
Him and His word (He is also “The Word”). He not only has the truth but He
is the truth. If there is no bottom-line truth, then there is lawlessness
and the U.S. Constitution (or any other laws, for that matter) are rendered irrelevant.
It is impossible to dwell safely and be quiet from the fear of evil in such an
environment.
Without
controversy (and regardless of the gainsaying and whining of the left-wing
haters of all that is Godly and good to the contrary), this nation was founded
upon Christian principles. Our history is replete with examples of this fact
that range from our highest leaders to the everyday citizens who built it. It
takes extraordinary effort to deny this fact. Make note, therefore, that
the left does, indeed, take extraordinary effort to deny this long-established and
irrefutable fact.
To
circumvent these inviolate and weighty principles, an entirely new vocabulary and
narrative was constructed and which is strictly adhered to. They have words
like “racist” which mean one thing to the right and another to the left. If you
don’t agree with their definitions, you are racist. Their definition of “good”
is “evil”. Their definition of “evil” is “good” all the while actually
believing that they are without guilt and blame of any kind. It is a
narrative that disallows mutual agreement which resolutely disallows peace. It
takes not effort to notice that their “vocabulary manipulations” are in force
every day that they are alive. “Doublespeak” is a mainstay.
The reason
for this is simple. In their philosophy, there is neither good nor evil (without
my trying to flood the place with philosophy, read Nietzsche’s thoughts). There
is no right or wrong (ditto). Some call that “situational ethics” while those
on the right vehemently disagree with such philosophy.
It’s a
relative morality which has no account for absolutes because there is no God
who is absolute. Note that, if there are no absolutes, then there
can be no absolute truth. If there is no absolute truth, there is no God
because He is “the truth, the way, and the life”. In other
words, they do not believe there is a God.
It’s the
perfect doctrine and philosophy for those who deny/hate God, truth, justice,
equality, and law (which is an absolute). It allows them to use whatever means
and deception to force their un-American ideology on others (no one
forfeits their freedom and marches into socialist slavery and tyranny on
purpose). “Slavery is freedom” is their motto (Orwell was right).
They also
rely upon partial definitions which hide all parts of their political agenda.
They have a desire for America to become a one-world socialist cesspool of
poverty and misery (poor, ignorant, and uneducated people are easier to rule
over). So, they decry and gainsay any opponents for resisting their evil by
accusing them of not caring for the poor and needy and the “haves” must “spread
the wealth” with the “have nots” (and by force if necessary):
“The
difference between communism and socialism is that under socialism central
planning ends with a gun in your face, whereas under communism central planning
begins with a gun in your face” ― Kevin D. Williamson, The Politically Incorrect Guide to
Socialism
Without
controversy, the Democratic Party is (very openly) the “National Socialist
Democratic American Worker’s Party” who hide behind the label “Democrat” under
the guise of being the party of the working class and poor. It’s just another blatant
deception.
In case you
missed the undisguised reference here, there is no difference between the
“National Socialist American Workers Party and the “National Socialist German
Workers' Party” (“Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”). The goals
and (violent) agenda (i.e. “progress is made in the struggle//fight”) are one
and the same (noting that Hitler was both a socialist and a fascist in the form
and fashion of Mussolini[1]).
They even
have the same “Sturmabteilung” (literally “storm division”) to do their dirty
work. The left call them “AntiFa” which are labeled as “anti-fascists” while
actually being violent fascist “enforcers” of the agenda. Likewise, BLM (“Black
Lives Matter”) falls neatly into the “Sturmabteilung” category. They accuse the
political right of being fascists while they, themselves, are devout fascists.
The
dichotomy and hypocrisy is far from lost on those who are paying attention. We
need only to observe the year that the left embraced, encouraged (by Kamala
Harris on national television, no less), protected, and even praised the
terrorism, burning, looting, rioting, and other despicable acts perpetrated by
their “Sturmabteilung” while the nation reeled in horror. Obviously, there are
two sets of rules/laws and also a fervent penchant for lawlessness. Shameless hypocrisy
is the norm.
The same
applies with their concept of racism. The Democratic Party are racists to the
core who delight in reverse discrimination to justify their lawlessness racist
actions so as to implement their agenda. They use the same partial definitions
and labels that hide their own racism while accusing others.
This is
actually a diagnosable issue. It’s called “projection” which is the dynamic of
accusing others of what you are doing.
For
instance, when the right insists on equality being meritorious and earned, they
are called “racist” because so many other non-whites are not included (according
to leftist doctrine). The facts of the matter (like sacrificing, hard work,
diligence, and delayed gratification) are considered irrelevant. It is demanded
by the left that, those who don’t pay the price for success, must be
included among the “privileged class”. It’s another part of “spread the
largess” agenda while denigrating anyone who disagrees.
On the other
hand, the left will institute “equality” legislation which ends up being
reverse discrimination which is, not only unacknowledged, it is actually denied
and, by law, it is demanded. This is why there is can be no negotiation.
For one
thing, their agenda doesn’t allow for negotiation or anything other than the
smallest compromises that can easily and quickly be recouped in the tactical
sense. They have no desire for peace because, “progress is made in the
struggle”. If they aren’t fighting and at war, then they aren’t making
progress. That’s why everything is a “war” in America (“The War on Drugs”, “The
War on Poverty”, “The War for Equality”, et. al.).
When we
examine the situation between Israel and Palestine, we see the exact dynamic.
The Palestinians have an agenda that they will not compromise with. The
agenda is a simple one: death to all Jews and the eradication of Israel
as a nation.[2]
It’s called “genocide”. It’s quite fine to demand the eradication of the Jews
and their nation but not fine if Hamas terrorists are killed. Because of the collateral
casualties, the act of killing terrorists is considered “genocide” by the Palestinians.
The fact that the Palestinians attacked Israel is not considered a factor
because it was a necessary act to complete their centuries-long genocidal agenda.
This means
that there can be no negotiation and, without negotiation and a desire for
peace, there can be no peace. It’s quite irrational and is a paradoxical conundrum
that feeds on itself.
Because it’s
of the same “spirit of error”, it’s the identical tactic and agenda the left
uses to destroy America. Compromise is unacceptable and every deception and tool
is used (and justified) to protect themselves from being exposed by the truth
and hypocrisy is a mainstay. It’s “death to America” to make way for a socialist
dictatorship and then, ultimately, a new one-world order. The truth must be
killed at all cost
Having said
these things, let’s further include the spiritual aspect of the matter. There
are only two spirits in the world. One is the “Spirit of Truth” which is the
Spirit of God. The other is the “spirit of error” (1John 4:6) which is the converse
and which is of the darkness of this world which is ruled over by the “Prince
of Darkness”. Therefore, we can say this: there is either the love of the truth
and for righteousness or a love of error and darkness and for every imaginable
evil and unrighteousness. Note that you can’t have both because no man can love
two masters.
We can also
say: there is either a love for lawfulness and peace or there is a love for lawlessness
and un-peacefulness. There is a love for life and the preservation of life or
there is a love for killing, stealing, and destroying and a complete disregard
for life/lives.
What we must
account for is the reason why it must be this way. In darkness, there is no
light. This is to say, there is no God because God is light. And, God is love. Love
doesn’t kill, steal, and destroy. Rather, it builds up and heals and restores. God
has given us His Spirit and it isn’t the spirit of fear but of power and of
love and of a “sound mind”:
· “For God hath not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2Ti 1:7)
Believers
see all things through a logical and sound mind. That which appears rational to
those in the world (who have rejected “the truth”) appears as inane and even
insane to them. Those who are not saved from this world will still love it and
the things in it. They will love their own and embrace darkness. They are
implacable and think that “good” is evil and they give diligence to destroy it.
They call “evil” good and revel in it. They are of an unsound mind, not having
the Spirit of the Lord.
There is yet
another dynamic that involves God with this matter. The left has rejected the
love of the truth. They have no love for Christ, who is “THE TRUTH”. They have
rejected God’s love, God’s word, God’s mercy, and all Godliness (i.e. they have
rejected Christ who is all of these things). Rather, they have embraced evil
and all darkness and carnality; they have embraced and had pleasure in all un-truthfulness
and unrighteousness; they have embraced “the lie” of darkness. They are of
their father, the Devil and they embrace all of his ways.
Here is what
God has to say about it:
· “And then shall that Wicked be
revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall
destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all
deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received
not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness” (2Th 2:8-12)
Lest there
be any squabble about “interpretation of scripture”, let us note that God is
speaking and He is quite clear. No interpretation is needed or required for
this passage.
It is imperative
that we understand that we are not in the “end times”; we are in the “end-of-the-end-times”.
This means that, because of His mercy that endures forever and His
longsuffering toward men, God has given all men opportunities to forsake
darkness and come to Christ in this hour.
Knowing
this, we must also note again that Christ is “THE TRUTH” and that the left has rejected
Him. When you reject “THE TRUTH”, you have rejected all truth and
the truth is not in you. Therefore, your life is one of lies and lying and
you are “anti-Christ” unto your death. The result is that the choice has been
made and the Lord has sealed that choice in those who have rejected all truth.
Because of
the rejection of truth, God has rejected them and has given them “strong delusion”
(2Thess 2:11). What is delusion?:
From “Simply
Psychology”:
“Delusions
in psychology are beliefs that persist despite evidence to the contrary”
This means
that there is nothing that can discourage them or dissuade them from
their agenda of lies or their lifestyle of un-Godliness. They will be
deceived and will follow the Anti-Christ” unto perdition and never know that
he is not their savior but that he is their destruction.
And, it means
even more than that. It means that you cannot break or countermand the
delusion. Delusional people cannot be convinced that they are wrong (noting
that “the way of a man is right in his own eyes”). They cannot be
reckoned with; they cannot be reasoned with on any level. In fact, they
think that is the believer’s (i.e. the “truthers”) who are delusional!
An example:
not long ago a local friend stopped by for a visit. He is quite the successful
and intellectual gentleman who is a staunch socialist, hard-core leftist,
progressive, and is proud that he is. He understands that I don’t strive with
him and his politics but that I accept him as he is. So, he feels free to
express himself and he does just that.
Our conversation
about why those on the right are the way they are (i.e. why they don’t’ line up
with those on the left) led him to share the “revelation” that he had about them.
“They’re delusional!”, he stated with a large smug grin. Those who call the
sane, ‘insane”, are those who call “evil” good and “good” evil.
Because of
this dynamic of their being irreversibly implacable, they cannot be reasoned
with. Real history and irrefutable truth is anathema to leftists. Therefore, don’t
reason or argue with them because any attempt to do so will be in vain. Resist any and all temptation to “straighten
them out”. Just don’t do it; it is a waste of time.
We can now, very
correctly and incontrovertibly, conclude that they (the Democrats/leftist/socialists/communists/progressives/fascists)
are, indeed, of an unsound mind. They do not have the “Spirit of Truth” abiding
in them and they are, therefore, liars and deceivers; they are delusional and
no mountain of facts and evidence are allowed to interfere with their narratives.
There is an
extremely important epilog here. It is that we must not fret and worry about this
matter. We must not “take thought” for it at all. We must obey scripture and cast
the care/burden of this insanity over onto the Lord and He will sustain us. It
cannot be dealt with in the “natural”. In
other words, we are to do all that we can to remain in peace and to not strive
with the matter in our hearts and minds or to strive with men. As much as
possible, we are to live in peace with all men.[3] Where peace is, God is.
Where God is, blessings, wisdom, grace, peace, and strength abound.
God has a
plan and it’s working. Our “job” is to simply remain in peace and be obedient
to Christ’s commandments (not Moses’ Commandments) as we are led of His Spirit.
If we do these things, we will be protected and will be found in the “strong
tower” and safe from all harm. The Psalmist makes a sure statement:
· “A thousand shall fall at thy
side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only
with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because
thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy
habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh
thy dwelling” (Ps 91:7-10)
We must always
remember to obey the commandment, “The just shall live by faith”. It is incumbent
upon us to protect our faith at all cost. It is a shield and part of the
“full armor of God” that will protect us from all things. It is what is required
to stand in these last days:
· “Wherefore take unto you the whole
armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand” (Eph 6:13)
“Fear not”
is the commandment we hear repeatedly in the Bible. In these times, it is even
more relevant. We must stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might
and not be moved or swayed by the evil that abounds and even surrounds us. In fact,
evil will wax (horribly) worse and worse until the Lord returns to stop it. We
must build up ourselves on our most holy faith, praying without ceasing in the
Holy Spirit, and keeping ourselves in the love of God. We must do it His way or
we will lose.
