A digital picture is a lot of pixels. In America today, we are focused on various pixels that concern us, or are our job and/or family situations. We don’t always see what the big,
total, not immediately evident picture is. It is too often hidden in the TV rhetoric and entertainment.
The big picture is that of an attack at the pixel level that has gradually increased for the last 100-plus years. All the terms have been overused, abused, misused, and therefore, mean little to us. Being in it, it is hard to see it!
We have been conditioned, indoctrinated, to go with the flow and not make waves. In doing so, our children and grandchildren will not enjoy the freedoms that we were born enjoying.
American freedom will cease to exist though the physical nation may continue.
This is another analogy with “full court press” to think about in discussing our culture today. It is not only one thing, it is everything. It is an ongoing emphasis in the culture. The old, proven, GOD-FAMILY-Free Enterprise-AMERICA system is being dismantled in favor of a totalitarian Leftist utopian culture. The evidence of this is obvious. The pixels are there. However, we are also being indoctrinated so that we do not look at the evidences! We are being distracted to not see what is really happening today.
Educated and thinking, peaceful and law-abiding citizens must understand what really is happening before we can do our hopefully responsible actions that may be necessary to properly adjust these situations. That is what many people are attempting to do wrongly in the flood of various rhetoric streams in our media. There is no individual freedom in these modern calls for freedom in our media. It is, much of it, the classical leftist ploy to call for what already exists in favor of its destruction.
We must discover the voices being raised to highlight the overall problems. Wisdom lies in seeking truth, not in accepting only what we may hear, or only want to believe. Humans are not capable of accomplishing absolute truth, but we can see and understand it somewhat when we look for it. Humans’ truth is that which they view in their own favor. Our relative truths do not always match up. We need systems that come as close as possible to being fair to the most of us, not just to a few, not just to supposed experts! That is what we must seek. It is not defined by power-polluted-addicted politicians, professors, anchor persons, political parties or bureaucrats.
Facts today may be so as far as they go, but they don’t go all the way to truth! They often go away from truth to total error. We must have and seek the discernment to see the overall
differences. This is what a really educated person is supposed to do. Humans are not good at this without much effort. We are too bent to selfish error. We must develop a seeking
information habit to help ourselves work beyond our human tendencies. We must test our information sources for truth. Many of our sources will fail this test, even many who we have trusted in the past! 6/12/2021 je
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 ...
