The emergence of Donald Trump has made us face up to something we didn’t want to believe: both political parties, that is, Democrat and Republican, are not the least bit interested in being guided and constrained by the American Constitution. Furthermore, elitists will forgive anyone of any sin who understands this one thing: individuals should not have the right to self-rule. Both parties were presenting a pretense of freedom while slowly taking away our freedoms. Trump flushed that out. Regardless of the fix being in, the people arose and the genius of our founding fathers has been put on full display. The Socialist elephant that was being fed to us in small bites was dragged from the barn to the middle of the field for everyone to see, and in time for some Republicans, and maybe some Democrats as well, to care enough about political survival to eat crow served up by the Donald.

Be sure of this: we are in the midst of a cultural civil war and a fight to retain freedom. People better wise up and get involved before this fight to retain freedom becomes a literal shooting war in the streets of America. That’s what the recent Kavanaugh event has clearly revealed. Kavanaugh has stuck it out at the expense of his family because he knows what is at stake. And though our hearts might have been somewhat warmed by the news that former President Bush was calling Senators in defense of Kavanaugh, that’s only because they are friends; Bush is an elitist shill who doesn’t get it. The great unwashed do not need training wheels on the freedom bike, we can ride it without help. The right to bear arms was put in place to protect us from the Kamala Harris’ of the world; tar and feathers were for the likes of George W. Bush.

Now we flip to what the Kavanaugh hermeneutic has taught us about church. Until America, there was never ANY difference between politics and church. Before America,  government in a political sense and church were mutually inclusive. In regard to the cradle of civilization outside of the Garden of Eden: In the beginning was the Democrat Party. Authority to rule over the great unwashed by elitists can only come from one place: God’s throne in the form of religion. Though America blew that up, it did so with a system that is still susceptible to an Aristotelian caste system as opposed to a Platonist caste system, but we will gladly accept the former. In other words, even half-pregnant freedom has been the greatest force for good that the world has ever seen.

We must fight hard to retain the half-pregnant freedom. It could be more free, but nothing has served the world better since Christ came to free mankind from sin. However, lest we forget, sin is the mother of control-lust.

Like Democrats and Republicans, like church. America took the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy. With Republican Churchians like Robert Jeffress aside, The Kavanaugh event has exposed the Democrat Churchians. Like the Democrats who claim to defend women and the downtrodden with the sword of justice, Democrat Churchians pose the same pretense as a ploy to gain control over others for the express purpose of fulfilling their power-lust.

Breakpoint: the idea that church poses itself as a Godfearing entity above the fray of politics is utterly laughable. The two are joined at the hip. And why not? Church is fond of theological driven division, politics is just another excuse to have a fight. And besides, both are driven by the same core issue: presuppositions concerning mankind. James, the brother of Christ, called out professing Christians for infighting amongst them. And the cause? Inward desire to control others. Nothing has changed; there is no new thing under the sun.

So, here we are. Those within the church who claim to be the hero warriors for the abused are speaking out on the Kavanaugh event, and guess what? If you watched the utterly despicable behavior and frightening verbiage of Senate Democrats during the Kavanaugh hearings, I want to inform you that the talking points among the supposed women/children advocate church bloggers are exactly the same. There are a plethora of examples, but for time sake, I will focus on the same assertion that ALL women accusers must be believed regardless of anything.

Specifically, Dee Parsons of Wartburg Watch .com, and Boz Tchividjian. To kick things off in my discourse with these people this week, Julia Anne Smith (Spiritual Sounding Board .com), another notable blogger advocate for abused women, excommunicated me for suggesting that Christine Blasey Ford was/is not believable. Yes, merely for suggesting such, Smith abruptly ended our cordial relationship that has included long phone conversations in the past.

Before I move on to the Boz and Dee Parsons, let me preface my point this way: in the same way that the Democrats claim to uphold racial equality while the KKK was created by them, the Boz and Dee claim to be advocates for women and children while one is a practicing Lutheran and the other is a Presbyterian. In fact, Dee is very proud of being a Lutheran and often writes about it. Martin Luther, and any idea of compassion for women is an oxymoron. The same can be said for Calvin and children.

Do you see the absurd irony in that? You do if you know anything about Martin Luther and John Calvin. Of course, I suppose you could argue that Nazis are not necessarily followers of Hitler, for whatever that argument would be worth. In regard to both Dee and the Boz, they continually rail against church practices that are foundational orthodoxy for both denominations. I used to like them enough to be embarrassed for them. Now they just frighten me.

We have a thinking problem, do we not? What would you think of a Nazi that stands against things Hitler did and believed, but refuses to deny Hitler’s basic orthodoxy?

Do I really need to write anything further to make this point?

Nevertheless, I will close with the following. Here is what the Boz stated on Twitter a couple of days ago, after, by the way, singing the praises of CNN’s Brooke Baldwin (I kid you not): “Research has repeatedly found that at most 7% of sexual assault allegations are false. Sadly, it seems as if many focus 93% of their attention and anger on the 7% rather than the other way around.” Considering that the Boz was a prosecutor for many years, this should make cold chills run up our backs. Think about it; in essence, he is saying that presumption of innocence is only 7%, if that, and presumption of guilt is 93% or more. American jurisprudence is based on 100% assumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Besides, as I have written recently, statistics like this are totally bogus.

Soon, I will be stating some things for our young men to consider and will be speaking directly to them…hope you will tune in.
