Consider

I consider myself a Christian,
American, conservative.
Politically, that falls in the “right-wing” category.
There are many feathers in that wing!
If many of the feathers are white,
There are several that are very black!
Some are kinda gray!

Humans are not
Millions of feathers,
Nor are we wing parts!
That is the problem!
Every person chooses his own beliefs.
Individually, we don’t neatly fall
Into any general categories.
AND,
Some people lie about their beliefs,
Or misrepresent what they may support.

Most of us are not
Political Party Animals at all,
That includes me!
Most of us don’t even understand
Modern politics at all.
But I do study the critter!

Politics partially is
About faithfully serving
The ones who elected
The candidates for office.
But for the last 150 years
It has been exclusively about
POWER!
Who gets the power?

This is bad, evil, wicked,
Even totally satanic!
Much of it is deceitful.
We’re promised a gold mine
But all we get is the shaft;
The promisers get the gold—
The POWER!--
The people got the gold mine,
The great empty hole in the ground
Without the gold that
Belongs to them.

Individuals have very little power.
This is what confuses us.
Politicians and their followers
Are disenfranchising us
At the “top”
Telling us with the media
That we don’t matter.
In America,
That is never true,
Not only that, but
They know it!

What we don’t see,
Is what is hidden in rhetoric of
Who and what the candidates
May believe and desire.
The offices also affect them.
The media misrepresents them all,
Left and right.

Once humans have political power,
They are corrupted to
The degree of that power.

But what greatly concerns me
Is that the labels
That people use
Are often deceitful.
They don’t help us see
What a person or group
May believe and desire
From their actions.

The ones who should
Be expected to help us
Sort it all out
Extend the deceit.

The example that concerns me,
Even more than the “Democratic” Party
Which is really a “socialist” party,
Is the supposed “alt-right” group.
They are labelled as right wing.
So was the Nazi Party in Germany.
Nazi is an abbreviation of
The German name for them
Which means
“National Socialist”.
Alt-right groups are most often
Neo-Nazi—“new” Nazi.
I’ve met some of them before.
They are really leftists.
Their name hides their real
Beliefs and desired actions.

I very much suspect that
The riot part of the demonstration
In Washington, D.C. January 6th
Was perpetrated by them—
The “alt-right”, illegally wrong.

While they claim to love America
And our freedoms,
They use illegal violence
To extend their aims.
They are not right-wingers;
They are leftists.
“Alt-right” is a deliberate,
Deceitful, hateful lie!

These concerns are why
Much about human actions
And beliefs require much study.

We cannot and must not
Understand them with
Only face value.
They are not what
They claim to be;
They don’t act out what
They claim to believe.

While this is true of many humans,
It is not just humanly “normal.”
It is deceitful, purposely deceitful!
Most humans in my experience
Do not operate at that
Overall level of deceit!
Most of us do not in any way
Lust for political or economic power
To that excessive degree,
If even at all!

There is a myriad of conservative
Positions, beliefs and actions,
But there are really only
Two leftist ones:
Those with power and
Those without power.

Conservatives minimally agree
With one another;
Leftists/liberals/progressives
Maximally agree with one another.
Only some conservatives
Support one another;
All leftists do so.

Leftists control the power of
Most of our electronic media,
Many of their advertisers
And many of our schools nationwide.

Much of this is exceptionally,
Extremely un-American!
My overarching concern is
That many Americans do not
Understand this!

They try to convince us
That this modern new wave
Is what is important,
We need to get with the program.

Good citizens must
Self-educate to see what
Must be done.

Media and political parties
Are not helping us
With this necessary
Individual responsibility!

The internet, though favoring
The excessively pro-leftist views,
Still has much on it
That can be helpful.

There are still some good books
Being printed that expose
The great amount of misinformation
Being heaped upon us!

This apparently over-whelming culture
Is a first class, gigantic lie!
It is anti-individual, anti-human,
Anti-freedom, anti-Christian,
Anti-American, anti-free enterprise,
Anti-traditional family,
Pro-destruction-of-all,
Just to name a few!

This is what concern citizens,
Writers and some politicians
Have been saying increasingly
Since the Civil War,
Especially so since
The 1960’s leftist revolution.
It ramped up again
During the Vietnam War,
And up more again during
The Trump Presidency.

Life is not about all this
Leftist-progressive-liberal politics,
Or their overly angry,
Aggressive, ascendant power!
NO, NOT & NEVER
In America.
But they are trying to convince us
That such is true and right!
They are lyingly, hatefully,
Wickedly, evilly wrong!
I can’t say this enough!

YOU KNOW THIS, AMERICA;
We just haven’t got enough
Good citizens on board and
Understanding all these
Warnings & dangers!

This is a lot of ideas
That must be examined
And understood,
But it is not all
That must be seen & done,
Or else the America that
We have known will be

LOST & KNOWN NO MORE!

God's Image

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 ...

Must See

(updated 5/24/2023 je)

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 ...
