​american thinker​​​

    America’s left turn in the 1960s delivered a writing on the wall that was clearly read by Randall Terry in 1994:

    In 1959 it would have been unthinkable to the average American — whether Democrat, Republican or Independent — that children would be murdered by abortion, homosexuals would be indoctrinating our children and demanding ‘marriage’ rights, that our surgeon general would be calling for the legalization of criminal drugs, and the distribution of condoms to ten-year-olds, that our tax money would pay for a crucifix floating in a vat of urine, that prayer and Bible reading would be illegal in government schools, that new-age, one-world, indoctrination would be standard fare. None of these atrocities could have been foreseen (much less discussed in mixed company) a scant 35 years ago. Where will it end  Will what is unthinkable and unspeakable today be commonplace 35 years hence  One shudders to imagine….

    This prophetic insight regarding the Left’s incursion into America’s culture came from one who was arrested many times for acting against attempts to make acts of blatant injustice “legitimate.” In 2017, Randall Terry was arrested for crossing a no-trespassing zone in order to protest the guest appearance of President Obama for a commencement address at the “Catholic” Notre Dame. Terry was doing what the university administrators failed to do — disallow a public figure to lend legitimacy to the practice of abortion, at a Catholic university. Terry was justifiably acting to denounce the administration’s decision to stage a high profile abomination against the teachings of the Catholic Church.

    There is no need to imagine the outcome of the continued subversion of justice in America. It is evident in the press, in daily commentary, in painful personal stories. It is an open book and ongoing lesson in the results of ignoring morality. Whoever does not notice the before and after — the “cause and effect” of morally defective behavior and action in America — is either too young to be aware of what has been done to this country by the Marxist Left or has been brainwashed by the mainstream media into accepting a false reality. Look around to see what “liberal” activists of change have wrought during the last decades. Minds still at work see a deterioration in what was once a sane, free and vibrant country, in the midst of faults found in all systems of government, this side of heaven.

    Minds that are not working show a cognitive deficiency common among liberals and leftists, namely treating relativism and validity as equals. Making every “narrative” equal to every other “narrative” deletes the validity of each one of them. Such value-free “reasoning” terminates serious communication and enables moral-free choices like those in Randall Terry’s list.

    Churches and synagogues were at one time a bulwark against moral degeneracy. But they lost their grip on that role after 1960 when church doctrine became infected with Marxist “Liberation Theology,” intoxicating many pastors. Affected churches have lost the ability to act in accordance with sacred scripture, the Gospel, and their vital mission. Compare this with the time I remember before mid-century, when church leaders regularly denounced those in high office who violated the laws of God.

    The protocol for churches since the incursion of the Left has been to follow the times, not lead them, a reversal of church mission that has made them assets of globalists who use religion to advance their agendas. Churches that have managed to keep their doors open have been left to rediscover the reason for their existence and face a daunting recovery job. Signs of a renewal of faith in God and in the Gospel of Christ provide hope and encouragement for a return to sanity.

Americans of every IQ, political orientation, and skin color face a large existential question: Are we to remain a free and independent people or yield to servitude in a state run by men with no understanding or regard for the realities of being human  Are we to let the blindness of leaders drugged by Marxism keep us from claiming our rights as humans

    It boils down to this….

Are there enough outraged Americans, in and out of positions of influence, to stand up to moguls of global dystopia and fight them off to the hilt of public power  Are today’s adults serious enough about passing on to their children and grandchildren a free, viable, and sane country  And to let them know the blessings of a morally focused life  Are we going to turn our children, our belongings, and ourselves over to power-rabid men who have seized this nation by stealth, deception, intimidation, and every known method of lording

    It is no future for real Americans to live with no rights and freedoms except what is allowed by a state run by men with no respect for human life, no use for God, no regard for the sacrifices of millions, past and present, who struggled, bled, and died to keep America free and prosperous.

    We have been fortunate that a man with guts and money, supported by a majority of Americans, took on the job of fighting “business as usual in politics” and ran for presidency of the United States. Opponents to Donald J. Trump are still in shock from the audacity, while loyal Americans are applauding him.

    For the Left and for all who hate this country, the writing on the wall has been posted. It remains to be seen how well they can read.
