What I’d Rather Hear

From Jordan B.

Peterson's well-received book- 12 Rules for Life, there appears this passage: “ Christianity achieved the well- nigh impossi-ble… the development of such a doctrine prevented king, aristocrat and wealthy merchant alike from lording it over the

But, this line is accompanied by:

“ This was not the case of the world of the past, and is not the case yet in most places in the world of the present.”

The first pronouncement is welcome, the second-not so much. Yet, it is the second statement is the one that we need to keep in mind and be wary about in our times.

That's because socialism is on the march, with attendant worldly materialism for the few and damn the masses, which has been the rule since The Communist Manifesto came along over 100 years ago, effective flushing the lives of hundreds of millions down the toilet, and seems to not be through yet ruining our lives with leftist crazies marching in lockstep behind destructive agendas.

Item: Take the Ministry of Truth that the Biden administration is trying to fund and start, with a total manic pearl-twisting conspiracy nut appointed to head it from the depths of the Deep State.

Item: Baby formula found on pallets on the Southern Border for illegal bordercrossers, but not so much for American citizens, due to unconcerned Democrat Party operatives in power.

Item: Soros-backed district attorneys nationwide, effectively bankrolling criminal behavior, activities and destruction of our social order in this country.

Item: Intimidation of our Supreme Court Judges by activists in favor of baby-killing, and complete leaving-alone by the Department of Justice sock-puppet, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, who is allowing it – although such showing-up

at the homes and threatening those judges is specifically prohibited by law, as there are criminal penalties and fines that are supposed to be in place to prevent such behaviors. Thank God, that stooge, Garland, was turned down for consideration for a Supreme Court position years ago.

Item: Billions to protect Ukraine by sending weapons to them on the other side of the world, but not one penny to keep our borders intact, and protect us from diseased, illiterate, gang-bangers, dope runners, criminal riff-raff which will have to be supported by American taxpayers in the foreseeable future.

Item: Our FBI being used by government officials to intimidate and persecute decent parents concerned about having their children perverted by “groomer” educators dedicated to indoctrination of children, leading them to follow sexual deviancies neither wanted or needed by the public. As well, CRT theory by socialist acolytes dedicated to the “soft racism” of lowered expectations of Democrat operatives done by some, and false accusations of shame toward others.

Again, all these things and many others put out by those who grasp at power at any cost, with no basis or expectation of public good-only naked greed and groping for material gain.

While our shelves empty out, fuel prices soar, transportation problems mount, crime soars, businesses can't find workers, inflation eats up all wage earnings, the stock market is going down, groceries are either double the price they were or completely unavailable.

All going on and on, with no plan whatsoever from those who are supposed to be in charge of our public welfare, and where are they?

Where?

I mean, we are down the road a bit from a government which was started under the mantle of rights given to us from God, our inalienable rights. We don't get our rights from government, the government is supposed to get it's instruction from us.

So, get going politicians!

Get out of the White House and get out among the people!

As Senator Kennedy from Louisiana advised Biden:

We are not great because we are great lemmings, willing to follow socialist doctrine.

We are informed by our religion, our spirituality.

Remember these lines from the Declaration of Independence?

“ We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”

Bottom line: Government is not our God. God is God. That is the lesson from the past, brought forth from centuries of adherence to scripture. Our forefathers understood it. Why is it so hard for some these days to get it?

Maybe the Democrats who are run by far left extremists think Communism and these endless socialist experiments will get them somewhere different than the road that Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela and their ilk landed.

Did it give the communist leader, Leon Trotsky, something different?

I seem to recall that he was stabbed in the head with an ice pick from a Soviet assassin in Mexico. And that, after many other attempts to kill him failed, all implemented by Stalin.

Communism didn't do much for

now did it?

What I'd rather hear is that we've returned to the triedand- true way-minus the icepick.
