Remembering the Past: Democratic Failures

Debate for Congressional District 8

After watching this Debate I feel Jesse Kelly could beat Gabby Giffords!

The Leftist Jesus?

This past week a close friend of mine who describes himself as a “Progressive” send me a link which I am happy to enclosed in this blog. The link is suppose to be a Religious site describing Jesus as a liberal. Puzzlement came over me when I looked at this site. (http://www.jesusisaliberal.org/)

The first clue of this groups agenda is to paint religious people as intolerant, reading the first paragraph you then realized that they simply are not willing to except any interpretation of who Jesus really was. We read the following:
“We created this website because we believe the historical, Biblically documented teachings of Jesus Christ clearly show that Jesus is a Liberal. His philosophy, based in compassion, equality, inclusion, forgiveness, tolerance, peace and - most importantly - love, is 100% Liberal.”


The Many flaws in interpreting such statements as policy statements on how a nation should behave is that Jesus was speaking about the life of the individual not about Nations.

The real confusion seems that Jesus for the most part wasn’t taking about Nations, but Individuals. Jesus was more interested in the individual than national policies. Going to Ricks College, Now BYU Idaho, Religious Professors put a great amount of emphases and time, that Jesus was in essence a religious Jew who knew and believed in his Hebrew Bible, which contains verses such as this one from Psalms:

"Those of you who love God must hate evil."

This shows up so many times in the Bible how orthodox Christ was. Jesus was could be very much consider very orthodox and very conservative in his belief in religious conformity. Driving out the merchants out of the Temple was a prime example of how orthodox and conservative Jesus was.

His teachings wasn’t about a Nation state, but how the individual was going to survive the hell, in those days, on earth, when human life was so easily discarded. Nothing confuses the Left more when discussing distinction between the State and Individual. They're understanding of Jesus is a good example. The Left often times would love to have our nation put this admonition of Jesus into practice:

"If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Jesus was referring to interpersonal relations. It is important when trying to understand any portion of the Bible and for that matter even the Book of Mormon when reading the text to read a passage within the surrounding material. And biblical commentaries often put it, "Context is king." Interesting when noting what precedes and what follows this verse shows that it deals with attitudes and sometimes behaviors of individuals.

Jesus was always working on the Individual in such matters as anger against another individual in one's personal life, divorce, , giving to the poor, prayer, fasting, prioritizing, worrying, etc. So in essence, Jesus was talking about interpersonal relations and noted that in our relations with people in our lives. Can you ever imagine applying this to nations:

Should America have said to the the Japanese after they attacked Pearl Harbor?

"Now that you have attacked us in the West, please go right ahead and bomb our cities in the East"?

The idea that a country should offer its other cheek to an aggressor is simply immoral, not to mention suicidal.
Such thinking renders Jesus and the Christian Bible foolish. It also shows how hypocritical are the Left's attacks on religious conservatives for taking the Bible literally.

It is the Left that engages in a far more dangerous literalism when it applies Jesus' words to national policy. Besides literalism, another point of hypocrisy: The Left attacks the religious Right for threatening to replace our Republic with a theocracy that will impose fundamentalist Christianity on the nation. Yet the people who loathe conservatives for using Scripture have no difficulty with those who cite Jesus' words when arguing their positions, even when citing them incorrectly. They keep using the same poor excuse for raising taxes, abortions, so-called Health care and Gay Marriage and other leftist social programs that even at the time of Jesus would be hard to understand or believe in!

But this has nothing to do with Jesus, but to set a agenda towards leftist belief system and not the scriptures.

They’re real understanding the scriptures in nonexistence and simple minded. The above site, describe what seems to be another leftist site with hopes it to persuaded people who have no real understanding of Jesus Christ and the times he lived. Hard to believe someone would be so gullible to think that Conservative Religions would suddenly come into existence in Modern times. But the left doesn't understand for most part Catholics, Protestants, Mormons and Jews are the mainstream and this site is in actually so far off the beaten path it becomes dangerous to the uneducated!

Christ himself was a conservative, believing in love and personal responsibility, and that our sins, are our own and not society. That we take responsibility for children brought into the world rather than killing them, because they became a burden. The simple complexities of human life escape the leftist and they keep running back to the Bible combing it to find a way to justified their behavior.

When you look at this site, you can grow concerned about how they misrepresent not just scriptures as a whole, but other important documents in history, such as the Constitution. They have in effect declared that not only is the Constitution a living breathing document, but the Bible as well. Interpreting it as they wish, and justifying any thing in order to get their radical agenda pass. Their major goal is destroying people's faith, rather than up lifting it!

Makes for one screw up society in so many ways!

Time to Get Out of Afghanistan?

In Sept of 2009 George Will on ABC”s This express that we needed to pull out of Afghanistan, George Will Express on the Roundtable saying:

"we are going to have a debate and there will be plenty of brass on my side."

He quoted from a recent letter he received from Marine Commandant General Charles Krulak. In the letter, Krulak said he read Will's column and is in "total agreement" with his assessment. See letter HERE.

Kagan, Bill Kristol, Dan Senor and other conservatives will be weighing in later this week with this letter to President Obama:
"Mr. President, you have put in place the military leadership and sent the initial resources required to begin bringing this war to a successful conclusion. The military leadership has devised a strategy that will reverse the errors of previous years, free Afghans from the chains of tyranny, and keep America safe. We call on you to fully resource this effort, do everything possible to minimize the risk of failure, and to devote the necessary time to explain, soberly and comprehensively, to the American people the stakes in Afghanistan, the route to success, and the cost of defeat."

For this in this Blog I would have to agree with George Will interpretation of the situation we are seeing in Afghanistan. There is a undesirable situation that we as a country need to face up too, and that is a country that seems unwilling to resolved it’s eternal conflicts.

The political and social problems face fighting in that country and the unwillingness to come to terms in winning it! I am not describing Afghanistan, But our own country, but the United States! Our factions are far worse than anything the Afghans are facing. We liberal progressives who no willingness to fight and defend this country.

But it’s it’s certainly not just progressives who have lost their soul. It is the liberals progressives within the Republican party who cannot face the realities of the Dangers.

The Dangers we have are the progressive moment as a whole and in order to protect us from this moment I am suggesting a radical solution.

I believe we need to:

1) Bring home all Military from where they are, Korea, Europe everywhere including the hot zones,

2) I believe strongly we need to protect our borders, secure them.

3) We need to end Illegal Immigration from Mexico. Develop programs and polices that will defend our country .

George Will is right back then and he is still right now. It is time we realized the dangers our country face with people whose untinmate goals is to radicalized everything and anything in existence.

The progressive moment is the one reason to bring home our troops the dangers this moment represents. This is why I believe strongly in returning of our troops to the homeland, and end the welfare system given to the countries where are MIlitary currently resides.

We may face other dangers in the process of doing this, certainly securing our borders and fighting the the Neo-progressive moment is necessary. So in short we need to withdrawn from Afghanistan and return home to a unstable country, Mainly our own. We face far more dangers here, and nothing is important as protecting our freedoms from people willing to destroy them.
