Rant
of the Day: I was reading
Time's man of the year issue on Obama
and saw all the teams of dems who helped his re-election--and it occured
to me that a big difference between the parties is the Liberals' belief
that mankind is essentially GOOD and IMPROVING, evidenced because they
elected Obama and are winning in their belief that it's good to approve
and encourage EVERYBODY'S lifestyle as a civil right --including the
transgenders, gays, polygamists, promiscuous, prostitutes, drug-users, porn-makers and addicts. This is seen as non-judgmental and
progressive--even "Christian."
Thinking that anything is a sin is
"judgmental."
And yet, the Religious and the Religious Right,
who follow the Judeo-Christian Bible, know that we are desperately
wicked in our inclinations --we are a sinful people --and we need
knowledge of "right" and "wrong" that we may know what needs to be
repented and changed in our behaviors and thinking. "Judge not lest ye
be so judged" does NOT mean "approve all behaviors, traditionally
viewed as sins; say nothing against any behavior lest you be wrongfully
judging."
About the only thing most of us agree on, both right
and left, would be that saving the planet is good (but how? and R we
responsible for weather and disaster by our SINS, in the hands of an
angry God, or by our carbon footprint? or are variations just normal for Earth-life?)
We also agree that stopping gun
violence is good but don't agree on how this should be done. We agree
that helping the poor and elderly and ill is good. Pedophilia,
sex slavery, murder, theft, rape, etc. are still viewed as wrong. Yet,
we don't seem to be getting fewer of these behaviors..and we have way
too many poor because of their lifestyle choices and the legacy of THEIR
parents.
We don't seem equally bothered about
cheating/adultery on the Left as on the Right because the biggest,
unbowed, unrepentant presidential cheater of all (as far as we know) is
still the darling of the Left --Bill Clinton. It's considered mean,
hateful and disrespectful that I would even mention him in this negative
context. I'm not stoning him --I'm just suggesting that Jesus be the
hero for forgiving --and not the adulterers celebrated in spite of their
selfish, unrepented acts.
The Left won't agree that abortion kills over a million people a year in a violent, painful procedure. They won't agree that Hollywood and TV are causing cultural erosion and should be reigned in before all the kids
are debauched; that porn is a world-wide blight instead of a first
amendment "right," that TV shows glorifying shallowness and nasty dog-eat-dog behavior (as in The Bachelor/bachelorette/survivor shows) , pregnant teens,
overweight children with unmarried hillbilly parents (poor Honey Boo Boo), pre- and extra-marital sex, shacking up, foul language, nudity, polygamists, homosexual
relations, transgendering, and brassieres should be discouraged by lack
of sponsors.
Even Dr. Phil gets it wrong sometimes
--encouraging "slutty dress" the other day as benign. Unwittingly
setting up mothers and daughters against each other on the importance of
dress and the message which dress really does convey. He called those
who were wanting young women to dress respectfully and honorably
"judges" of others. As mothers, do we not think there is a message
conveyed by certain ways of dressing?? a message to men, in particular?
a message that we ought not want to send? Should a good culture not
TEACH its young right from wrong and encourage and celebrate the Right
--instead of the wrong?
Democrats as Progressives? Not really! It's regression we observe in American culture today --led by the LEFT.
"God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and have eternal life."--the Bible
