CCM 016- Hate of the Union
Description
<figure class="alignleft is-resized"></figure>
Today on the Conservative Christian
Movement, I’m making a change versus
what I planned from my last Episode.
Instead of the planned topics, I am choosing to summarize the State of the Union speech from February 5. I’ll do so in a way most other commentators are
not; by building the Democrat party
platform for 2020 based on their reaction
to the president’s comments in the State of the Union. I’ll get back to business as usual next
week… Welcome back to the Conservative
Christian Movement Podcast. This episode
was recorded February 8, 2019. I am Jeff
Stipe, your host.
Let’s get started.
The
verse of the Day:
Proverbs 29:2 (NIV)
“When the righteous thrive, the people
rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.”
This is perhaps the most applicable verse when considering Christian participation in politics. The founding fathers preferred righteous leadership over wicked rule, which was so prevalent
in their struggle for independence. I
talked at length about this in episode 2 (A Journey to a New World).
Our nation struggles today with a shifting
away from simple Biblical principles which were woven into our Constitution
willfully by framers who believed not only in the infallible Word of God, but
the positive influence in both our individual walk and our nations standing in
the world.
Slowly, over time, Liberals have loaded
the courts to speed the separation of Church from the state, something never
intended before. In each of the Seven
Mountains mentioned in episode 1 (Change the world). These are Religion, Family,
Education, Government, Media, Arts &
Entertainment and Business. Liberals (of
which Republicans are often a part), amplify
sin to normalize it and desensitize
you to it though these 7 mountains.
The ultimate goal is to minimize YOUR
impact as a Christian for the good, while making sin an acceptable and expected
normal occurrence.
And now, my take on the Democrat
Progressives reaction to President Trump.
Hate
of the Union
This week, President Trump gave his State
of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. As is usually the case, he made statements,
some cheered, others jeered. I’ve heard
many critiques of the speech and of the Democrat reaction to those
statements. To which I thought, their
reaction signifies their beliefs and ultimately their party platform.
I will preface this statement by stating
openly, the Democrat party HATES President Trump. They hated from the start, the plan he put
out as a candidate and the steps he has taken to “Drain the Swamp” in DC. But I digress…
The president put forth his message in
hopes of unifying the un-unifiable. Hi
message spanned the gamut of “Can’t we all just get along” to wow, our nation
is in great shape. There was little
patting himself on the back. Honestly
the year has been a pretty good year for our country and is set to continue for
the near future.
It wasn’t all bad. I’ll start with the glimmer of hope which has
already faded out to nothingness.
It seems we can all get along with
Birthdays, women in the workplace and economic development for women in foreign
countries. We saw the house chamber
erupt into Happy Birthday (a first ever) and a unified “U-S-A” chant another
possible first.
Additional points of agreement came with
praise for HIV/Aids and childhood cancer efforts and calls for additional
research for both.
The elation came quickly and eroded with
the next sentence.
The actual 2016 Democrat Platform is
linked in the show notes for your enjoyment.
Please keep in mind, this is my interpretation of a progressive
mindset. It was painful to write and I
DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF IT to be a legitimate help to our great nation.
Ruling the Nation as two Parties Rather than One Nation
We cannot and will not be seen as working with
Republican lawmakers under any circumstances. In order to increase our anti-Biblical, anti-Semitic, lawless and free-giving policies, we
reject the offer to work together for the common good of this nation. We reject
the opportunities to seek common ground, work to provide a legislative
environment which allow free people to determine their own path forward and
will at every turn fight with fervor any
attempt to see this nation as a Christian Nation.
Victory is not winning as a nation, it is
winning at all costs for our party.
Promoting
a Safer, More Prosperous America—Our Way, not Theirs
Our
nation continues to struggle with mass shootings, gun killings, danger in our
schools and racism at all levels of power.
Choices which leave our world in danger through climate changes,
economic disparity and tax cuts for the rich, leave us bitter and angry.
We reject
any and all attempts to utilize capitalism, trickle-down economics and free markets to promote a so-called
better America. Capitalism is
incompatible with our ideal environment and cannot be supported in any
way. We must find alternatives to
Capitalism by any means, to include increasing liberal members of congress,
loaded courts and a complicit media.
Politics of cooperation, compromise and
the common good cannot be allowed to be spoken in public for the good of our
cause. We must keep stalemate,
divisions, wounds, gridlock, resistance, vengeance and pointless destruction or
we will not win in 2020. Only with a
Democrat president, can we achieve our type of greatness.
Economy
and Trade
We must continue to ignore the good news
in our economy. At any chance we as
Democrats must speak of negative news, forgoing truth in an effort to turn the
American people further from President Trump and toward the Darkness of
Democrat policies.
We reject the premise that all Americans
can pull themselves out of the gutter without government assistance. We stand firmly against the president and his
claim of removing citizens from welfare rolls.
Citizens simply must remain in our grasp and under our power with
economic coercion.
A growing economy under a Republican
president is simply unacceptable.
Unemployment at its lowest rate in a century does nothing to promote our
cause. Low African, Hispanic and Asian
American unemployment levels are a threat to our voter base. Overall unemployment is a necessity to keep American
beholden to our power structure and must be reversed.
Tax cuts for working families must be
repealed at all costs. The estate or
death tax takes money from our treasury which is ours not theirs and must be
reinstated. The Obamacare mandate must
be reinstated.
Dark economic policies must be restored or
our voter base will see the light and will no longer be dependent on our
giving. The Jobs numbers, which are
coming out of government policies, consumer confidence and business conditions
are a threat to us all.
We support any actions which usher in
socialism and its tenants which run contrary to our current economic system.
We simply cannot let facts get in the way
or our agenda.
Energy
and Environment
Across our nation we see energy usage at
an all-time high. Pipelines are in the
works creating a risk to our environment.
Climate change is having an increasing risk to our people through
extreme weather.
A Democrat Utopia will minimize use of fossil
fuels in spite of the economic hardship it would impose. We must stop policies which make America a
net exporter of energy. The Green New
Deal must be put in place so that we can control big business, redistribute
wealth and further degrade our place in the international energy market.
We Democrats must continue to build on Al
Gore’s work and press on for global climate change regulations, eliminate the
combustion engine, regulate cow flatulence and otherwise control our citizens
use of energy.
Military
and Veterans
Our military is a necessary evil which the
American people will never allow to be removed.
However, we should always fight to ensure the military is contained a
minimized on the world stage. It should
never be allowed to force our beliefs on other nations. We must use every tool to ensure we do not
outspend our adversaries and find ourselves
We must undo the right of the government
to fire bad VA workers. This is
incompatible with our desire to unionize and empower blocks of workers to
overpower their employers.
It is absolutely wrong on our part to
force
