Category: Government as God

(Note: I dug this out of my archives, and thought it still quite relevant. – Brad)

By now you have heard all the arguments for and against homosexual marriage. What’s not being pointed out is a not very obvious outcome. In fact, this is the real agenda behind this "movement", and the funny thing is that 99% of the homo and hetero populace are unaware of it.
What is being perpetrated against the American public are the same techniques observed by the journalist Edward Hunter, and used by Communists during the 1950’s and 60’s in wars around the globe:

"I see, primarily, as part of this softening up process in America, the liquidation of our attitudes on what we used to recognize as right and wrong, what we used to accept as absolute moral standards.  We now confuse moral standards with the sophistication of dialectical materialism, with a Communist crackpot theology which teaches that everything changes, and that what is right or wrong, good or bad, changes as well. So nothing they say is really good or bad. There is no such thing as truth or a lie; and any belief we actually held was simply your being unsophisticated.  They don’t say this in so many words, except to those who are already indoctrinated in communism."[1]

Only now the Globalists have subsumed the goals of Communism, and this is just one more nail in the coffin of American individuality and freedom. Certainly UNESCO sees it that way:

"The challenge to humanity is to adopt new ways of thinking, new ways of acting, new ways of organizing itself in society, in short, new ways of living."[2]

Ultimately, the goal planned for America is that she will be absorbed into the global collective; our language, borders, and culture (as Michael Savage is fond of saying) a mere historical footnote, but that’s in the long term.

In the short term, here’s how I see it playing out:

• Once marriage between homosexuals becomes recognized by the State, the homosexual has been granted Protected Class status[3]. By Protected Class status, I don’t mean just laws prohibiting discrimination based on “sexual orientation”, but law explicitly giving special “rights” and “recognition”.  Why “special”? Because currently the homosexual has the same rights as everyone else: The right to marry someone of the opposite sex.

• With legal status, homosexuals can now be re-classified as a protected minority, and you can bet that will be one of the first bills introduced by Barney Frank, or one of his liberal ilk.

Obviously anyone can claim to be homosexual, but the marriage certificate becomes the legal ID proving that you are now an official member of the new protected minority – with all the privileges and benefits now proffered to Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities. According to a Policy Analysis by Tony Marco this will compromise the goals of current civil rights laws.

“Since civil rights law pertaining to suspect or protected class status was first enacted, it has involved, as it were, temporary abridgements of fundamental Constitutional rights, such as that of free association, to ensure that classes of people who have been demonstrably persecuted or oppressed by society, leaving them disadvantaged and politically powerless, based on non-behavioral characteristics over which they have no control are not excluded from full participation in society.

Presumably, when these protected classes have been "made whole," to use civil rights terminology, and these classes achieve parity of opportunity and status relative to society at large, these special protections will no longer be needed. Gays as an entire class cannot prove a need for suspect or protected class status. To arbitrarily introduce into suspect status groups far more advantaged than America’s people-at-large would surely defeat the purpose and intent of civil rights laws as they have always been conceived and enforced, and injure the interests of legitimately qualifying protected classes.”[4]

Ask yourself this: Has any minority group ever been removed from the list of Protected Minorities? Ever? For a little over one year, Liberals complain that George Bush has no exit strategy from Iraq, but in the last 40 years, have the Liberals ever suggested an exit strategy for removing minorities from the lists of Protected Minority Status? Of course they haven’t. Why? Minorities have a vested interest in keeping their handlers in office. By enlarging their base with the addition of homosexuals, Liberals solidify an already powerful voting block that’s financially advantaged and influential when compared to the average American. It’s not about equal rights. It’s about control. Homosexuals, like other special interest groups seeking special governmental status (and privileges), don’t recognize that they are just another pawn in the Global Power Grab.

"…Ms. Ostrom “has challenged the conventional wisdom that common property is poorly managed and should be either regulated by central authorities or privatized. Based on numerous studies of user-managed fish stocks, pastures, woods, lakes, and groundwater basins, Ostrom concludes that the outcomes are, more often than not, better than predicted by standard theories.”

The Situation:
An elderly widow woman named Mrs. Tree lives up the street. She’s had some health issues recently, and has been unable to maintain her yard. The grass is now over a foot long, and it’s looking rather shabby.

Now, in a rather simplistic style, I will attempt to illustrate how various types of government will deal with this issue.

Scenario 1:
While driving down my street, I notice how bad Mrs. Tree’s lawn is looking. Knowing her situation, and wanting to find some way to assist her, I grab my lawn mower, string trimmer, and rake, and head on over. An hour later, her lawn looking much better, Mrs. Tree thanks me profusely and I feel very good that I was able to help her out.

Acting without coercion from anyone by following the dictates of your own conscience is called Individualism.

Scenario 2:
I find out that, while I was at work, Mrs. Tree’s recalcitrant son Jimmy broke into my house and stole $40. Apparently he paid $10 to Carl – who lives up the street – to mow his mother’s lawn, then bought drugs with the rest of the money. Carl, the only witness to the event, chose to deny seeing anything when asked by the police.
Stealing what you think you need, even if the goal is noble, is called Plunder.

Scenario 3:
I’m sitting in my living room and hear a loud commotion outside. I open the front door to find a group of my neighbors standing there. One of them speaks up: "Hey, we all got together and decided that since you seem to have so much money, you can afford to have Mrs. Tree’s lawn maintained. Give us $40." I figure if I don’t comply they will make my life miserable, so I pull out my wallet and hand them a $50 bill, since that’s all I have. They take the money and leave. The mob pays Carl $5 to mow Mrs. Tree’s yard, and when he complains, they tell him that he’s lucky to get that much. Nobody’s quite sure what happened to the rest of the money.

The tyranny by a mob of people is called Democracy.

Scenario 4:
I’m sitting in my living room and hear a knock at the front door. I open the door to find a woman and a police officer standing there. The woman introduces herself as Karla, and says, "I have been appointed as the representative by your neighbors, who have decided that you need to voluntarily give $40 to the ‘Support Neighborhood Yard Care’ initiative." When I explain that I have no interest in volunteering any such money, the police office speaks up, saying, "If you do not hand over the $40 immediately, I shall be forced to arrest you, and you will also pay severe penalties."
Having no choice, I hand my $50 bill to the "neighborhood representative", who then tells me I’ll get the $10 in change back via mailed check in 6 to 8 weeks.
The "neighborhood representative" pays $10 to Carl to mow Mrs. Tree’s yard, and keeps the other $30 to cover administrative overhead. The $10 refund check gets lost in the mail.

Forcing people to pay for something they neither want or need is called Socialism.

Scenario 5:
I’m sitting in my living room and hear my garage door open. I quickly run down the stairs to the garage, where I find Carl rolling my lawn mower out the door. I ask him what he’s doing, and he responds, "I was just up at the Worker Security office, and someone named Karla gave me $10 and told me that Mrs. Tree’s lawn needed mowing. I told them I didn’t have a mower, and they suggested I appropriate one. Knowing you were not using this one, I figured I’d use it." He then proceeds down the street with the mower.
Worried and frustrated, I wait several hours for the return of my mower. Finally losing all patience, I head off to Mrs. Tree’s house.
I find my mower, abandoned and out of fuel, on Mrs. Tree’s half-mowed lawn.

Appropriating others’ means of production for the good of the community is called Communism.

Scenario 6:
I’m sitting in my living room and hear a loud commotion outside. I open the front door to find a group of my neighbors standing there. One of them speaks up: "Hey, we all got together and decided that, since you seem to have so much money, you can afford to have Mrs. Tree’s lawn maintained. Give us $40." I reply, "I didn’t agree to that, so go find your money somewhere else." They then start threatening me with bodily harm if I don’t cooperate. In fear for my life, I begin to reach for my gun when a police office drives up. The police officer addresses the mob, saying, "You people are trespassing on this man’s private property and disturbing the peace. You have no right to demand money from this man. If you don’t disperse immediately, I shall be forced to arrest you."
The mob, under threat of punishment, soon disperses.

Protecting your rights with the backing of codified law is called Republicanism.

Subject: Special Note from Mongolia

Darkhan, Mongolia – November 4, 2008 – 10:30 AM
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings from the church in Mongolia. They are praying for you and thankful that you would allow me to come and teach them about the Holy Spirit.

I’m writing from the future (15 hours ahead) and I wish I could tell you how the election is going but we’re all going to have to find out together. I wanted to take a moment and share how the Mongolias view our election.

When I arrived last Tuesday almost immediately the people began asking me about our election and who I thought would win. I told them it was too close to call and then they wanted to know who I was voting for. For the sake of this email I won’t get into that but they were especially interested in Barack Obama. They could not figure out why America would be interested in such a man.

(Before I continue let me make this clear. They were asking me, I didn’t bring it up. They weren’t responding to anything I said because I didn’t say anything. They were responding from their own studies and reading and what they were hearing in the press.)

This really interested me. As they spoke I could tell they had keen insight into his ideology, philosophy, background, education, and proposals. And they all had the same question for me: "Do Americans not understand communism?"

Americans are repulsed when anyone suggests a major American candidate could have communist ideology. Mongolians, on the other hand, have lived for decades under communist rule. They know what it looks like, sounds like and how it is implemented. Thus, as they study Obama the question they have is: "Do Americans not understand communism?"

I asked what they meant and the leaders had quick answers. I won’t take time to get into all they said but they were concerned about Obama’s tax and redistribution policies. They worried about his plans for a national civilian police force and his underlying anger when anyone challenges his policies. They were very concerned about the chilling effect his people have on those who speak out against his policies. They are shocked by the virtual worship they see in people’s eyes when they are around him. They have seen how his lawyers put pressure on television and radio stations to stop playing advertisements that he doesn’t like and it reminds them of past communist strong arm tactics. They all wonder if Americans are simply blind to what’s happening right before our eyes. These are not my personal feelings; this is what the leaders here are telling me.

The leaders wanted to know if Americans have gone so far away from the original intent of our leaders Founding Fathers that we are making a conscious decision to accept communism. (Most of you will be irritated with the word communism so let’s use the word socialism.) They wanted to know if we are making an informed decision to accept socialism.

I told them that many Americans, especially the young people in colleges and universities, have been slowly indoctrinated in socialist ideology and have no idea what the Founding Fathers taught because our history books have been sanitized of their original principles of freedom. What amazes them is that in Mongolia, the children study the teachings of our Founding Fathers and look at America as the champion of personal freedom. They are concerned that if we are seriously thinking of electing Obama we seem not to know what the principles of freedom are anymore.

I asked them who they were hoping America would elect and they said John McCain. They said he had wisdom and experience. They said they felt he would defend America from its enemies and continue to defend weak nations from communism and tyranny. They also felt he would hold to the Founding Fathers ideology and wouldn’t restrict American’s freedom of speech. And they also felt that McCain would be a friend to Christians. (This is how the Mongolians see John McCain. I am not adding my personal thoughts.)

I thought you might enjoy hearing their thoughts.

As you prepare to vote I encourage you to vote for the candidate that best represents your desires for the future of our nation. Please exercise the right to vote that was paid for in blood, the right to a peaceful transfer of power every four years.

This is the first time I can remember that I will be on foreign soil to witness our election. I will let you know how the people in Mongolia respond to what happens in our great nation. I’m certain they will have plenty to say.

However you vote, may God bless each one of you and may God bless the United States of America.
Love in Him,
Pastor Chris
