Wokeness & A Thousand Distortions, Divisions & Distractions
These are not the ROOT of the problems in America, they are the symptoms. The root must be seen and uprooted!
“Nothing to see here! Look at this other thing!” The game action to keep it all alive!
If it were all only from a few people and groups, it would more readily be fixed. But the destruction is coming from “everywhere”! It is a seemingly nationwide “virus”. It seems to be beyond control.
The alien, viral root that is infecting America is obvious but kept unseen because it isn’t highlighted, especially by the alien-to-America root. It’s name is “progressive” but it is really just leftism in action! Even leftists do not observe the true effort of what they do. They could also be eliminated in the process of achieving their utopia!
The time length of the effort is also unseen. We are led to believe that it started in the 1960’s.
Truly, it probably has its beginning in the Garden with the snake! Much perspective must come from there. But the most recent history is the Woodrow Wilson Administration. Big government is what the administrative state is. It has just kept growing since then. It is a completely un-American development!
Even that does not expose the underlying driver. While it is historically true, the human mindset behind it is the problem. Leftists desire, really lust for, total political power and wealth. That is the driver. They will even destroy one another for it! That is usually after they have destroyed everything else!
Leftists do not see this because they are just as distracted as anyone else. Some aren’t in the latest and best woke groups that are getting all the attention right now. Maybe they aren’t in the brain trust of choice, or the right institution or media. They are just virtue signaling for the wave of the future!
Otherwise sensible people have no desire for the leftist dreams that we don’t understand. But we must see its reality. The evidences are in front of our faces. The evidences are in the nations that practice a more developed version of this progressive insanity, like Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Nazi Germany and other dystopian nightmare dictatorships. Total governments do not resemble their promoted utopias!
Individually, you can believe and do anything legal in America. You can practice your freedoms as you will. But there are moral and legal limits to everything. Human nature’s selfish disobedience must have legal tracks and guard rails. Leftist vision is not on those tracks.
Even some rightist visions do not stay on the American track!
Thinking people say that we need to reintroduce the American founding principles. We can each strive for the life we desire to build within the American principles. But there are moral limits to this. We must not do our dreams at the expense of all others’ freedoms & opportunity.
We must not use criminal or political means, if they aren’t the same! Politics has its place and limits. But it is one thing in a nation that offers many things. We individually should not band together to do criminal things. We should not band together to do freedom-destroying things.
The first governments are higher than politics. What we individually worship and practice are higher governments! When our politicians, bureaucrats and professors are persecuting and destroying Christians, Jews and their churches, it is a warning alarm! When terrorists and rioters are destroying people and cities, it is a warning alarm! Those alarms are happening right now! They are not accidents.
What we must see in America is that very much of the destruction happening is from leftists.
We see it and ignore it. Our media keeps our focus away from examining this! As long as the current happenings continue, this will not stop. What we are experiencing now has a very bad end.
There are many newer media sites that are attempting to show this problem in proper lights. Free citizens must find them! America must protect the right of discussion and discovery!
Partisan politics and censorship destroy seeking a complete truth of each issue! Truth must be sought whether we like it or not! We must work together based on that. Today we are encouraged to work together, band together, for ends that we are not liking!
Life is not totally about political party! Life is not about the constantly screamed issues! It is not about who is “cool” and who’s a fool!
Life is almost totally about important and responsible relationships! Christians used to know this. We have been indoctrinated to forget this necessary ethic: Love GOD, love one another!
Leftists, philosophers and legalist religions hate this ethic! It is a basic American ethic. All humanly good things flow from this!
Examine this! Dissect this! Understand this! Discuss this! We are supposed to be free to do so! Anything that blocks this is illegal and discriminatory! It is unloving and un-American!
All of us have a right to our own opinions. None of us has the right to our own dreams! We have a right to pursue our dreams. Our dreams must end in proper and edifying relationships.
We all must refocus, America!
This is one of my meditations and themes for the last several years. It is like a unfathomable, universe-wide subject. This is a good starting discussion of this subject. It is packed with meaning.
Humans are made in GOD’s Image and HIS likeness.
That Image in humans is this: our individual spirit & attributes.
The reason is so that we can relate to HIM. Our excuse that GOD isn’t human and a figment of our imagination is totally destroyed by Jesus. Freedom is in this discussion.
GOD created humans to be able to relate to HIM. Jesus came to be our individual, sinless Lamb of sacrifice. He will come again as the Messiah that the Jews are expecting but it will be to return believers (all those who have chosen to believe forever) to the Eden relationship with GOD. {The Biblical book of Leviticus is what perfect obedience would look like.
I finally understand its meaning and use.}
What GOD and a human creates are reflections of themselves. They are alike enough for the ...

While it is humanly impossible for humans to be totally good, we always can do much better than we have been doing if we individually want to do so! There is no concept that humans can totally achieve in this life. This applies individually, in groups or collectively.
The pathologies of today’s culture are apparent. However, they are called benefits & loudly proclaimed. They must be clearly seen as dangerous & wrong to our once-free country!
They are deliberately destroying Christianity, our country, our families, our individual personhood & our individual freedoms. Does this seem to be too extreme a statement?
Our media are calling evil “good” & good “evil”. Should that be totally right & silently allowed? Free speech & opinions must not live there? Freedom of speech is not absolute. This severe problem should be curtailed & limited within the proper bounds & situations!
Is it possible or allowed to seek those limits that do not destroy freedom of speech itself?
...
I do not support ANY, ANY political personality cults!!!! Left, Right, middle, it doesn’t matter! If you take the political part out, it is still so! Is this clear enough? I don’t support cultish “groupyism”!
My expectation is that any American who wishes to serve America in a political office would speak and act in support of our cherished American principles that are reflected in the best writings of our founders and all sensible people since then!
I am disgusted by the pragmatic politics and the excessive partisanship that the media love, especially for Democrats, it seems. I am disgusted with the pro-to-total leftism in our media. They do not represent thinking, peaceful citizens’ views! Individual humans are all over the belief spectrum with the issues. That is why discussion is necessary!
The people that I enjoy watching and reading at least attempt to tell the truth as they see it and are willing to listen to varying opinions and discuss them! From libertarian to center ...
