“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”
THE SOUL OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE
Forward by: Angela Michael
This article was written years ago , but the sediment still holds true
today. When the National Review and their posse of puppet’s comes out
of the woodwork and attacks the GOP front runner, Donald Trump, because
he tells the truth and says what a lot of America is screaming, you know
he is being very effective and he’s a target. And yes, people are
angry; they are fed up with status quo politicians, the RINO’S
standing by milking our wallets and doing nothing to stop the insanity
and destruction of our country. Recently, when the Planned Parenthood
videos came out on baby body parts trafficking, there was barely a
ripple and we exposed that atrocity 17 years ago. Mr. Trump
is not running as a purist. He is not running as if he were God,
although if God were running He would get our vote. He is running as a
man , who has the heart of a warrior, and the intestinal fortitude to
make America great again. When is the last time you have seen the
sanctimonious National Review do anything about the immorality, the
disfunction in our government, and the corruption and anarchy thriving
in this nation? And selling books does not count. Talk is cheap,
and conservatism is pretend salt. Conservatism
is Pretend Salt! By
Flip Benham As
Christians we are called to be salt and light in a world that is rotting
on the inside from the consequences of sin, and attacked on the outside
by an enemy (the devil) who has come to rob, kill, and destroy. The
world, in all of its wisdom, is in utterly helpless and without hope in
this battle - no answers, no solutions, no way! One need only listen to
the talking heads and politicians of our day to realize they are
clueless. The catastrophic events in the Mid-East, "9-11",
bloodshed coursing down the corridors of our streets, workplaces, and
schools - oh, what to do! Violence is filling our land! It
is into this hopeless, decaying world that the Church of Jesus Christ is
called to bring salt and light. We do battle with the sin that destroys
from within and the enemy who destroys from without. We are called to
take captive our thoughts and make them obedient unto Christ (2 Cor.
10:5). Then we are called to crush the head of the enemy robbing,
killing, and destroying (Gen. 3:15, Rom. 16:20). The
Church of Jesus Christ is the only institution ordained by God to fight
this battle against the sin raging from within, and the devil raging
from without. It is the only true salt and our only hope for victory.
Unfortunately, the salt has abdicated its responsibility to be salt in
the earth and light in the world. It has become good for nothing except
to be, trampled under the feet of men (Matt. 5:13). Not
only are we being trampled under the feet of sworn enemies of our Lord
who support abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, ad nauseum, we are also
being trampled under the feet of another so-called friend -
CONSERVATISM! As
our nation attempts to defeat the spirit of murder presently savaging
our land, the Church of Jesus Christ has delegated the job to one who
cannot win the battle. Enter modern day conservatism! Conservatism
looks like salt, talks like salt, acts like salt, seeks the vote and
friendship of salt, yet, when the test of taste comes, it is revealed
for what it really is - a tasteless enabler of perdition! That's right!
Conservatism enables true salt to remain in the shaker while it attempts
pragmatic deal making with an enemy bent on destroying God's children. Conservatism
will work hard on bills like partial birth abortion, parental
notification, etc., but will never stand firm for all children whether
they are six months old in the womb or two seconds old. Conservatism is
a pathetic substitute for the vibrant salt of real Christianity.
Conservatism poses no threat to the enemy from within (sin) or the enemy
from without (the devil). Rush
Limbaugh, the penultimate conservative, has no problem supporting
conservatives like Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison, even though he knows
her to be pro-abortion, because she is a fiscal conservative. Rush
believes that conservatism is the answer to America's woes. Rush will
sacrifice Christian principle to elect conservatives "Right
to Life" organizations in the state of Texas worked hard a couple
of years ago getting the "parental notification" bill passed
and signed into law by then Governor George W. Bush. It was hailed as a
great victory for the pro-life movement. Florence Shapiro, however, the
state senator who authored the bill, was Republican, conservative, and
pro-abortion! Yet she is now considered a friend to the pro-life
community. Conservatism thrives in this muddying of the waters. Conservatism
will confront the enemy with the evil he promotes but, on the day of
battle, will always retreat. Conservatism always tries to reason and
compromise with the enemy seeking some "common ground" or
"reaching across the aisle." Conservatism is politics' answer
to Christianity. Its modus operandi is pragmatism. Principle is
abandoned and obtaining and maintaining political office is its summum
bonum. In order to become more appealing these days it calls itself
"Compassionate Conservatism." If
you have been watching our President and his administration lately you
will note the waffling, pandering, compromising, ad nauseam of Christian
principles to the god of conservatism. If conservatism is the hired gun
of the Church to take on her political enemies, it is a pitiful squirt
gun. How the devil must laugh! Just watch him laugh through Yasser
Arafat, Ted Kennedy, the abortion industry, the radical homosexual
agenda, Tom Daschel. They serve their "god" with absolute
allegiance. They know that they can count on conservatism to sell her
"god' for thirty pieces of silver and political office. Conservatism
is pretend salt, for it has never found a cause for which it is willing
to die. It will never fight to the death the mortal enemy of God's
children. Death for conservatism wipes away any hope of continuance.
Life or political office must be preserved at all costs. Our Lord said,
"He who seeks to save his life will lose it…" therefore,
conservatism will always lose in the Gospel battle we are called to
fight. This
is not so with Christianity - true salt! Christians will
unapologetically fight the battle against our enemies from within and
without in the Name of Jesus Christ. We hold no office so dear that the
principles of our Lord would be ever be compromised or sacrificed. If we
die in this battle we know that the victory is ours, for our Lord fought
to the death and He now lives. He dealt the enemy a deathblow and made a
public spectacle of him. True
salt will live up to the character of her Lord and be unashamed of the
Name of Jesus and His Words in this wicked and sinful generation. It
will stand firmly upon God's Word and let the chips fall where they may.
The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ.
They shall, however, forever prevail against conservatism. Conservatism
is a pitiful and exquisitely deceitful substitute for Christianity. It
is pretend salt!
