Tyranny of Liberalism

Below is a piece I wrote before I was informed about the Kermit Gosnell trial but I mentioned in my earlier post about how the case wasn’t just about abortion, but rather every ugly progressive cause coming to light, I thought I would just post some thoughts about liberalism in general. There is a lot to cover about these issues and I am painting with a broad brush with these posts so I hope if you are reading this, don’t just believe me I hope you start asking questions about what you see today as well. I guess I am apologizing in advance for leaving a lot of detail out but because this is a blog and not a book I kind of have to.
 I have struggled mightily with how to articulate what is going on in our world and in our churches. I have spent hours pondering how to encapsulate all the events of today into a discernible statement to help the church understand what is going on in our world. I have tried to begin with the defining issue of our time “racism” and explain what it really is, where it came from and how it even effects what we believe doctrinally, but I don’t know if that is sufficient to explain everything. I have begun to write about Marxism and all of it’s perils and the horrors of what it grows up to be, communism, but that is just another piec e of the puzzle. I have lamented the destruction caused on communities by the tenants of all these doctrines, dogmas and ideas most commonly known as liberalism but I wonder if people understand how Marxism, racism, liberalism, diversity education, women’s rights, abortion and even the civil rights movement are all linked up together. Well I think some people do but I believe it is deeper then that and moreover the root beginning of what I believe to be a hell hatched hoax designed to oppress all people is more spiritual then physical. The teachings of Karl Marx, the civil rights movement, the incessant and delusional focus on race and class, diversity in education are all a new morality forced upon our once great nation.  Even a casual observer of politics and world events has seen how problematic it is to challenge these mirages pretending to be bedrocks of some new society. As I have tackled Marxism and racism on one of my writings and what they really are we need to go further. I am hesitant to begin this discussion because I would be remiss if I didn’t attack directly what progressives, liberals, and/or Marxists have caused and where it started. This will probably be the hardest point to drive home and take the most time but it has to be done.
I must discuss the protected class politically. The term minority outside of the land of liberalism means a group of people that are small in number. The definition of minorities has since expanded to anyone liberals think they can make political headway with. Some would say that they are championing the little guy or the one that is being oppressed. I have decided to take the side of truth and stand on it to refute this argument.  What I mean is that I am not going to spend any time defending the positions of fundamentalism, Christianity, Conservatism, tea party patriots and then comparing and contrasting these points of view with all of the tenants of liberalism individually. I reserve the right to clarify positions taken by the above mentioned groups and line them up with Bible based Chrisitanity and a world view based upon those truths but I am not here to argue. That has been done and it doesn’t work. I have found that the most effective strategy in regards to fighting the truth war in any arena is to simply declare it without defending it and that is what I seek to do. That being said I will be forced to discuss the 500 pound elephant in the middle of the room and that is racism, what it really means, and what liberalism has done the community it first invaded the black community. The effectiveness of infiltrating the churches and communities of blacks in America is where liberalism found it’s most success and has sought to duplicate that success in every other group in America and unfortunately has continued to have success. (In regards to what racism is check out my “Are you a Racist” post from sometime last year.)
There is not just a spiritual component to the strategy of Marxist liberals the attacks are overtly spiritual. The destruction of a communities faith most notably their churches is essential for a Marxist to have success. We have too often thought of liberalism as a political movement and that is what it has become but at it’s genesis it was and still is a spiritual movement that has political ramifications. (Discussions about progressives, the president, and how it relates to the black community is discussed is “Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama and Corey Booker parts 1-3) The Bible teaches us that we will know men by their fruit. There is a process that is unseen that takes place in any growth in agriculture. The seed is planted in plain sight but the growth is largely underground and unseen if it is good. The Bible discusses the parable of the seeds that were scattered in different places and what happens to them. The good seed finds good soil grows down and out first to attain a good root and eventually up and finally produces good crops some 10 and some 100 fold. There is an unseen process before the fruit is visible and it is time consuming. All the others seeds mentioned in the parable have different symptoms but the same results in the end. They do not yield good fruit that multiplies and lasts. There is one other difference between something God planted and something man planted. What our Lord plants takes time and goes through the proper process to yield good fruit. All the others either spring up quickly like weeds and do not yield fruit while others are not tended properly and therefore don’t yield consistent good crop as intended. In other words movements either spring up one day and are gone the next (false prophets) or they get taken over by the enemy and the growth is choked out. I am not sure whether the civil rights movement was a bad seed or weed from the beginning or it was well intentioned but was choked out by the enemy, but I do know that it has had a generation and has not produced good crops in the community that it targeted and this is important to identify. We have to point out that liberals crowning achievement (the civil rights movement of the 1960’s) has produced destruction in the community that it claimed to care about and uplift.
If you don’t believe me get on the Detroit News or Detroit Free Press website and check out the budget problems going on in Detroit, check out the drop in population, the dilapidated homes, and crime rates that have consistently been some of the highest in the nation. With labor unions and democratic politicians running this place for years you would think that this should be their crowning achievement. The way these people talk Detroit should be a light to the world about how great life is when progressives get what they want, but the place is a dump. Recently I read an article that said that private business is providing the city with emergency response vehicles because the city does not have the money in the budget. The town is a wreck and outside of the local papers in Detroit the liberals won’t even discuss Detroit. These people destroy communities blame other people for it and then run away from the ones they claimed to care about when their lives are in shambles.

  1. Good stuff Derek. The example of Detroit as the fruit of liberalism should get much more attention than it does.

    You really ought to read "The Tyranny of Cliches" by Jonah Goldberg. I'm reading it for a second time right now, it is outstanding. The chapter on "social justice" is especially good.
