The United States of America is facing an election that will likely determine whether it survives at all as the republic that was founded some 244 years ago. We are living through an election that sees the nation divided as deeply as never before, save the canvass of 1860. It was in that fateful year that Lincoln’s victory assured the splitting of the nation along regional lines, with the survival of the institution of slavery at stake. Lincoln’s assumption of power brought the secession of the South and a great Civil War that took hundreds of thousands of lives, ended the horrible sin of slavery and recalibrated the political reality for generations. Today, we are looking at a contest of no less importance, that pits the continuance of the American experiment against a move toward a globalist New World Order. This is not an exaggeration. This is the reality of what’s at stake.
One party, the Democrats, have come to be the party of open borders, a Green New Deal that would remake our economy, the overthrow of our system of justice by packing both the Supreme Court and the lower courts, the creation of new states to assure Democrat control of Congress, more lockdowns, more government control, higher taxes – (Biden promised that), the phasing out of the oil industry, the end of fracking – and the enshrinement of a woman’s right to kill her baby – right up until birth – all in the name of woman’s health care. Some, including media members and President Obama’s former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, have called for a “Truth and Reconciliation Committee” modeled after the one in South Africa where Trump supporters would come and publicly confess what they did wrong. [Who can be against ‘reconciliation?] One media figure opined, “It doesn’t have to be their fault to be their responsibility to fix it.”[i] [We’re talking about things like reparations for slavery here. [So, my ancestors, some of which were serfs under the Russian Czar until 1860, would bequeath to me the guilt of holding American slaves until just after that time. That’s just plain absurd!] Such a commission would be about nothing less than political / social revenge. This is NOT the American ethic.
But the American ethic, the American experiment, which periodically takes stock of itself – and re-orients and improves on the model with enhanced freedoms and increased liberty has suffered grievous blows in the last decades. This nation was originally founded on Judeo-Christian principles that enshrined the freedoms enumerated – (but NOT given) – in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Those rights were given by God and are the natural outworking of the understanding that we are all God’s creatures. These principles were laid down from the very beginning. At Jamestown, VA in 1607. That colony was dedicated to the God of the Bible. It happened again with the Mayflower Compact in 1620. The Pilgrims voluntarily entered into a governmental covenant “undertaken for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country.” Our Christian heritage was confirmed yet again when President Washington’s first inaugural turned into a spontaneous prayer meeting that went on for hours. But we have drifted far from these beginnings since especially the middle of the last century.
But to use the word “drifted” is perhaps to mislead. Much of this drift was pre-planned by revolutionary Marxists that wormed their way into positions of power and influence in the American culture. There exists a line of influence that leads from the Karl Marx himself through the Alinsky-ites of the 60s to Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA of today. Our current American culture has been – to a large degree – coopted through a planned infiltration of key institutions. Many have written of the Communist goals entered into the Congressional Record by Rep Albert Herlong Jr of Florida in 1963. There were dozens, but here are just a few. “Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind… Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States…. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks….Infiltrate the press…. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity…. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.… Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as ‘normal, natural, healthy.’” [ii]
Larry Taunton of the Fixed Point Foundation explained the resulting dynamic. Unlike Russia, which fell to revolution in 1917, Brits and Americans resisted the call to overthrow their systems and replace them with socialism. Much of that resistance was due to the strong Christian foundations found in those nations. The upper class and “proletarians” were anchored by the “messages of the forgiveness, hope, and meaning to be found in the person of Jesus Christ.” Marx had died believing that revolution would come to the West. Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci believed “Marx had grossly underestimated the strength of Western society. In 1917 Russia, an armed insurrection had worked because the state and its primary institutional support, the Russian Orthodox Church, were weak and rotten.” Not so, in Britain and America. Marxian theory divided the world into ‘haves and have nots.’ Gramsci recognized a multiplicity of power structures that each served to protect the Capitalist system. These included “families, education, government, morality, the church, law, and civil society as a whole.” Thus, the stealth assault on each of these institutions. This infiltration would provide the softening up for the final take-down. “Gramsci’s strategy was, in effect, that of the Trojan Horse.”
Gramsci himself wrote of “first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.” Taunton writes: “Subvert families, traditional morality, and the touchstones of national identity, and penetrate educational institutions, the church, and the legal system, and eventually that country will fall like a ripe fruit into the hands of Marxists.” That is what is called Cultural Marxism. And that is what we have seen here in the United States and the nations of the West for decades now.
This has bequeathed us a heritage of cultural decay expressed in such phenomena as the legalization of Gay Marriage, the existence of 12,000 genders, the winked-at destruction of cities through rioting and the general sense of victimhood that has overtaken the culture. The goal of the Marxists was to divide society into oppressed victim groups. Traditional marriage and families became a target because they serve as “instruments of oppression.” “The church, with its message of peace and otherworldly bliss, oppresses the masses by sapping them of their revolutionary spirit.” Schools and Universities taught a form of patriotism that protected the system. This paradigm produced something called Critical Race Theory. In their addled minds, America is riddled with ‘Systemic Racism.’ If you are Black you are by definition oppressed. If you are white you are an oppressor. And conveniently this serves as the moral platform for reparations for slavery. But the victimhood does not stop there. “Women are victims of men; non-heterosexuals are victims of ‘heteronormativity’; non-Christians are victims of ‘Christian hegemony’; non-Americans are victims of Americans, and on and on it goes.” This then becomes the platform upon which the socialist revolution can be built. ‘You owe me!’ “What is yours should be mine. Indeed, I have the right to take it—by force, if necessary.” Marxists point to this as Social Justice. Summing up, Larry Taunton offers this retort. “This isn’t about social justice. It is a pretext for injustice. It is about the weaponizing of a fictional guilt for the seizure of assets and power. History has demonstrated all too well that Death and Hell follow Marxism wherever it goes.”[iii]
So what does that have to do with the election? It’s really very simple. The socialist alternative is one of the choices that we are being given. We can continue with the American experiment, imperfect, but with a bent toward human and economic liberty and respect for the rule of law. Or we can opt for the socialist road with its ever-growing government control, its intolerance of opinion other than its own, its suppression of news stories that question the party line and its demonization of all opposition.
With its sharp turn to the far-Left in recent years, the Democrat Party is offering up a Green Deal and a socialist agenda that will beggar the American economy. [Under Trump, until Covid, we had probably the healthiest and most robust economy in American history. Then came the lockdowns which were exacerbated by the Governors draconian measures. And now, as some the economy has begun to open up we have the GDP increasing by an annualized rate of 33% in the last quarter. And now, some of the same Democrat governors are talking lockdown again, which will likely destroy what’s left of small business and the middle class. This, despite the fact that even agents of the World Health Organization are joining calls to stop with this lockdown business.] Now, all of this is supported by the cabal of Big Media – and the Deep State Leftist politicians who seek to tie the US to the emerging New World Order. [This is NOT conspiracy theory. The NWO was talked about by presidents going back to at least, George Bush Sr.]
And we have the side story, supported by emails found on Hunter Biden’s lap top that link Joe Biden to the sale of influence in Ukraine and Russia and China that resulted in the massive enrichment of the Biden family. Millions, even billions of dollars were moved. Proprietary technology may have been passed along. And we have Joe himself telling the story of how he used his influence – and American aid money – get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired – who just happened to be investigating his son, Hunter. That story out, despite the efforts by Twitter & Facebook keep it from the public.
Here is the bottom line. The Dems have supported the suppression of speech through the social media platforms. Democrat governors have supported the closing of churches and selective small businesses. I will be voting in support of the First Amendment. I will be voting for President Trump. The Biden ticket has pledged to take away our guns. I will be voting in support of the Second Amendment. Joe & Kamala have signaled support for packing the Supreme Court. I will be voting to keep the integrity of the High Court. The Democrat Party has emerged as the ardent supporters of abortion, which has taken the lives of over 60 million babies since Roe-v-Wade. They have trumpeted their intentions to restore taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s chief abortion provider, despite the fact that the organization locates their facilities in Black neighborhoods. [It is no secret that Planned Parenthoods founder wanted to cull the population of African Americans.] I will be voting for a President that has a record of being the most pro-life Chief Executive in history. I am voting for putting an end to human trafficking. I am voting for a man who has achieved great success in supporting Israel through the recognition of Jerusalem and cobbling together peace treaties between the Jewish state and some of its Arab neighbors. I am voting for the Electoral College, law and order, legal immigration and the continuation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I am voting for a return to the America I was born into, an America that knew God and was founded on Biblical principles. I am voting for President Donald Trump.
