A Political Divide!

During this era of a"new normal" in American life, with the threat of Corona Virus in control, there are many voices chattering these days: voices of leadership, voices of news and politics, voices of statistics and voices using scare-tactics.  There are many ways to process what they say: We can vacillate and be frantic, sit quietly and be patient, we can even rise up and participate-as many communicate what it is they believe is at stake.  I am one of the latter. 

My first instinct, when this Corona Virus hit the airways of the United States was to be angry and frustrated, as I lamented, “Didn’t we JUST get our economy back on track!”. I considered the truth that the Democrat Party would do ANYTHING to get Mr. Trump out of office including putting spies in his campaign and literally setting this presidential candidate up as if he were working with and for the Russian Government and against the USA. I am infuriated and heart-broken that US Politics has degenerated to this!

Knowing politics, as I do, I would not put ANYTHING past the opposing party of the current administration and this thought sickens me! For weeks now, I have gone to great lengths to understand my inner anger- as I filtered information through lens of health VS the economic concern; what appears to be sound judgment VS what IS sound decision making; my political views VS spiritual truths; and the subject of truth VS half-truths, propaganda and flat-out lies. 

For people, like myself, who have watched, for years, as evil rose up as if good and when lies were spoken as if true and when people in places of leadership, especially those being paid to sit behind a microphone, stirred up dissension and discord among the US citizens I can quickly say "Yeah, I’m frustrated and righteously infuriated".  And, I AM NOT alone. 

My personal quest, and purpose of this writing, is to figure out why the American people are so easily capable of laying down their freedoms so un-defensively when everything else in the powerful world of politics has been so contentious. This just doesn’t add up with the exception that FEAR was used as a scare-tactic for political purposes to the demise of our entire economy.  The problem with this is that now our enemies know the American People have lost their stomach for that it takes to maintain freedom!  There is a time and place for obedience and then there is the proper time to rise up and demand our elected officials listen to the Will of the People. It seems many prefer the cushy life-style of Easy Street and don't mind if others do our thinking....and with that we have opened ourselves up to a coup-within our own borders and from outside our borders as well!

My mind can’t get over this question that sits on the forefront of my brain EVERYDAY:  Is it just  IRONIC that after President Trump built our economy up to heights never reached before in our exceptional history, a VIRUS, we cannot see, destroyed it all????  Someone, please, please, please make sense of this for I cannot fathom it!  My mind is so bent out-of-shape over this because of how OBVIOUS that is is that I simply cannot get rid of my bewilderment!!!  This jury is still out on this but….

Here is what we do know:  There is a political divide in this country.  It is not there because we Americans are against each other because overall, we are a People of brotherly love and deep beliefs; in God, in country, in family and in freedom.  No, this divisiveness has been strategically sown into the fabric of this country slowly, subtly, subliminally and therefore unconsciously, over the years. Pride in being an American has been deemed socially and politically unacceptable.  Regarding education, our kids are neither taught true American History nor about our exceptionalism.  College professors are notably anti-American and anti-God.  Some form of evil has decided to gain the hearts and minds of our youth.  The astute recognize that it has happened and then ask why?  Scripture gives us some insight:

“Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined,
 and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.”

Matthew 12:25

Inside the borders of this country there is a covert movement that wants us divided. THIS is obvious for those who have already recognized it.  I have only paid attention to politics for about the last 10 years and I’ve been astounded at the power plays that take place under the noses of We, the People.  Yet, using World History to reflect back on, we know that power-grabs and mass control of humanity has been a goal for many a world leader throughout the centuries and more specifically, this evil divide has been present in this Country since it’s founding.  Yes, This Evil is THAT old. Who wants America to fail and who is in control of this covert movement that, to me is so obvious?  With that question asked others arise. Such as, what is the reason behind this malicious movement?  What is the end-goal?  Of course the answer is money but more importantly, POWER!

Judaism and Christianity have always stood on the theological premise that evil wants to over-throw God.  The sinful human heart doesn’t want to answer to a higher authority.  Put that hypothesis onto a political platform and you can see how a power hungry human or political party, in control of a massive amount of people, could seek to over-throw the statutes and principles on which this country was founded, to the demise of all.

Power is intoxicating and many of our politicians are drunk on it!  They buy in and like so many unethical unions they cannot buy out.  The selling of their souls has been done and it cannot be undone... not without the God of Justice showing up in miraculous ways. UNTIL then We, The People have the power of the VOTE!  Why do we forget that we hire and fire politicians and we are in control of the purse strings of this country??? They govern for us….not over us!!!

 In my opinion, some of the wicked tactics being used against the American people are as FOLLOWS:

• ·      Diverting our attention one way- while evil slight of hand activity is going on out of our view-(The fake news is the perfect minion for this purpose)
• ·       Purposely causing us to fight among ourselves while our very way of life is subverted right under our noses: (A kingdom divided against itself shall fall)
• ·      Pretending to be focusing on our most valued needs while undermining it at the same time (Bait and Switch)
• ·      Using the power of our very own government against us to change and/or eradicate our very way of life. (Our blind-folded Lady Justice isn't so blind).
• ·      Causing many to believe the Government is in control when our constitution says We, The People are actually in control-(The dumbing Down of America).
• ·      Giving the Citizens reasons to want to give power away to the government therefore denigrating the free enterprise system of the USA and our overall freedom, indeed!  (Forcing US Citizens to feel dependent on US Government for financial support does the trick)

Where is this orchestrated downfall of America coming from? From the powerful and wealthy using our elected officials. This power-play is wielded in every level of government! The American people just don’t seem to recognize this!  That is why my motto and calling to my fellow Americans for years has been

“Wake Up America”

We need to be aware of all levels of elections and pay attention to the differences between who is running.  Being informed is a must if you want your way-of-life to be maintained.  Many chose to ignore that there are sinful, imperfect “politicians” who would do anything to undermine our Way of LIfe!  Why in the world would anyone chose to be indifferent regarding politicians that are running our states, cities and, in essence, our lives?  The very BEST of people can be turned or blackmailed into becoming criminals- if given the right reasons!  Let’s discuss some of the motivating reasons:

·      MONEY

·      POWER

·      INFLUENCE

·      GREED

·      IMMORALITY

·      LACK OF CONSCIENCE

Here is what one of our past leader's said:

“It is to be regretted that the rich and the powerful

too often bend the acts of government

to their own selfish purposes.”

Andrew Jackson
US Senator, Lawyer, US Representative, Judge
1767-1845

There have been many evil events, throughout history, with humans at the helm.  What, then, was the purpose of the evil leaders of the past, for example, Hitler?  I’d say it is to over-throw rightful authority, to gain control of the masses and take ultimate power. He is the perfect example of the twisted belief that the end justifies the means.  This mentality takes savagery and history shows that certain types of evil are bloodthirsty.  How does this relate to the current condition here in our country?  It serves as a stark reminder that evil exists BUT it is not always as blatant as the horror of Hitler.   Something has shifted in our country.  Truth has been thrown to the ground and even the dictionary now has a new word called Post-Truth.  With this said, let me introduce you to Post Truth Politics: which  “appeals to emotion and personal belief” instead of moral law.

One of our founding fathers said this:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

 It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

John Adams

This should floor us all!  The premise of our founding documents and the compass of this country was set for “a moral and religious people”. Many have stepped away from belief that there is absolute truth and consequently, THAT is the divide amongst the People.

Morality once formed our laws and created the successful way of life that the world envied.  Now, in post-truth America, our laws are inspired by emotion and personal beliefs. In turn, our politicians lead our cities and states with many unstable influences that are unhealthy to a moral people and stand in contrast to the constitution under which we formed our principality.  This confusion creates a divide among the citizenry.  Then, if you’re uninformed you can be easily misled! Confusion sets in and the country becomes even more divided!  My ghastly point is: If we are not a moral people, with laws set on firm foundations of truth, then our constitution will no longer apply to our politics or our life-style.  This country’s success or demise is founded on this truth (per John Adams).
