Who’s fault is it that an adult thought murdering a young conservative over political differences of opinion was acceptable?
I’ve been noticing that everyone wants to point their finger at the “other guy.” What other guy, “well, anyone but me.” Some blame political division, some blame Trump, and some just refuse to face the fact that these murders are even happening.
A few years ago a man drove many miles to a Virginia ball field for the express purpose of murdering as many Republican Congressmen as possible. His political affiliation was ignored by our media, and the story was short-lived. Christians, Republicans, and conservatives let the story die, perhaps hoping to avoid conflict.
After several years of political riots over the deaths of several black criminals at the hands of police, we are expected not to notice that violence is all coming from one political ideology. We are to ignore the death, and destruction in the wake of these political activists, as they destroy buildings, murder citizens and policemen, and even conquer city blocks of for “the cause.” Elected politicians, of a certain political party, honor these political terrorists, like Black Lives Matter, and ANTIFA, but we are to ignore which political party is supporting these terrorists, and their actions.
On September 18, 2022, Cayler Ellingson was murdered by Shannon Brandt because he said that Cayler was a member of a, “Republican extremist group.” There has been no evidence, or proof that Cayler was violent, only the word of the murderer.
How did we get here? How is it that We have hundreds of Americans sitting in DC prisons for many months for the misdemeanors, trespassing, and parading, without opportunity for bail, or a speedy trial, being harassed by our criminal divisions, yet this political murderer was let out on bail almost immediately?
How can we, Americans, be okay with criminal divisions prosecuting lawyers for representing the former President of the United States of America in legal matters? How is it possible that federal judges are allowing the prosecution to seize confidential, attorney/client communications, without so much as a proper warrant?
How has our society become so calloused that it is unable to discern truth from error, good from evil?
I believe hat it is because many Americans, and many Christians are afraid to offend.
II Timothy 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind.”
Are we Americans too blind to see the forces that are arrayed against the very nature of our republic? Are we Christians too self-centered to recognize the atheistic, marxist forces arrayed against the Church of the living God, and our nation?
I believe that it is time for us to recognize the times we were called to. It is not time to be spectators, it is time to climb into the ring and do battle for the Lord, and America, or we will find ourselves in, “…our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Ronald Reagan.
We must recognize that our spiritual, and political opponents believe that, “When I am weaker than you, ( when they are weaker than you, they,) I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your Freedom because that is according to my principles.”― Frank Herbert, Children of Dune
The forces of evil have no compassion. They are not concerned with fairness. There is no consideration for righteousness, rather conquest. They seek to destroy all that is good, and there are no tactics too low for their taste. They relish our assistance in our own destruction, and many Americans, many Christians, and many conservatives are too gullible to recognize this truth.
“Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20
Eric Metaxas has a new book out entitled, “Letter To The American Church.” It compares the current state of the American church to the German church of the early 1930’s.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear, while it is not too late. WW II shows us that there will be a time when it will be too late, if we continue to sleep and allow the truth to be called lies, and evil is tolerated.
God bless you, Dave
