Ramping It Up?

Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective

I find it fascinating that though Kamala Harris, in her recent concession speech, said that there should essentially be a peaceful transition in January from the Biden administration to the Trump administration. However, while she was saying that (and seemed to mean it), many on the Left were ranting and raving about how their lives have ended because of Trump.

Moreover, several members of Congress (AOC and others), are doing their best to gin up the fear among society, saying that Trump will bring in unprecedented levels of fascism and tyranny. Ironically, this is exactly what the Left has been doing for the past four years.

Biden in a recent speech has indicated that we should essentially all work together and start burying the hatchet. The problem of course, is that AntiFa has already been out in Seattle trying to gin up the anger, violence and the destruction. Police actually came out in force, which is very surprising.

But apart from all of this, it’s best to remember which party of people were bent on assassinating Trump, pushing back against Trump supporters in public (even kicking Trump’s press secretary out of an eatery), and cajoled on by people like Maxine Waters and numerous other elected officials who are supposed to be fighting for the rights of all Americans as delineated under the terms of the Constitution. Instead, they have used and continue to use aspects of Communism (agitprop, etc.), in their constant attempts to vilify conservatives as being fascists and wanting to destroy “democracy,” etc.

Unfortunately, Christians and conservatives believe that we must “forgive and forget.” While forgiving is certainly true, it does not mean we clasp hands with the enemy when they show no signs of a change of heart.

I’ve noticed since the election in which Trump won handily, not only the popular vote but the electoral college vote, clearly indicating the majority of people in this nation have spoken, yet the Left marches onward calling for violence. In fact, many on the Left wasted no time to either show how much they disapprove of Trump’s election, but are actively calling for his assassination. Will the FBI even bother to look into things?

They’re wailing as though they’ve already been put in concentration camps. They’re calling for a serious revolt. I believe both Biden and Harris knew this would be the result, which allowed them to sound and seem compassionate and willing to reach across the aisle. It is because they knew that the Marxists who support them would do what they needed to do to ensure that the coming transition to the Trump administration would not be an easy one. They plan to make it as difficult as possible.

While Congressperson AOC is already warning of tons of people being put into concentration camps and governors of certain blue states exclaiming that they will not obey any executive orders from Trump regarding the deportation of “immigrants” in their states. They refuse to give them up. That’s fine. They can keep them however, a good deal of money has flowed from the Biden administration for the sole purpose of supporting the millions of foreigners illegally here. What will they do when those states run out of federal money, increase taxes on the residents of those states?

The foreigners who are illegally in this nation were not vetted. Their health status was not even checked. They were simply “tagged and released” into America. Biden specifically flew planeloads of these foreigners to rural America, small towns that are now stretched beyond their financial means, not to mention the tremendous increase in crime and third world characteristics. Neither Biden or Harris did anything to stem the tide at all. Trump says he will, by hitting Mexico with a 25% tariff on imported goods if they do not work to stem the tide of foreigners illegally coming to America.

International law was and is completely and routinely ignored by the Biden administration. International law essentially states that anyone seeking asylum to America must go to their closest nation and apply for asylum at the American Embassy there. This has been completely ignored by those in authority. They broke the law by allowing this to happen, but it was clearly done for several reasons, not least of which was to destroy America’s economy.

What we have to remember is that many on the Left are completely bereft, though they actually believe they have good critical thinking skills, but they are simply fooling themselves. They are guided by their feelings and nothing more. This is called cultural Marxism and/or emotional virtue.

We know folks in Vermont, which is generally far left. Their economy is suffering because of the influx of foreigners illegally there, which is affecting schools especially, with county officials wanting to raise taxes. However, the average person in Vermont, while they complain about the lack of funding and rise in taxation, they also continue to talk fondly of the “new Americans” who have been settled in Vermont.

This would be like people simply coming into your home and squatting, even potentially pushing you out. Yet, you look at them as “needy” and believe it is your job to provide for them and make them feel welcome. This has zero to do with actual compassion or critical thinking and everything to do with believing lies due to the way something feels inside.

This is the Left and it is because of their warped feelings that they are so screwed up, cannot think straight and place value on things that they should not. It’s not a crime to want to help people, but there are already things in place to do that. If people choose to ignore the current laws in place, they become lawbreakers and should be treated accordingly.

Now, it is because the Left is so volatile that they are also, to a large extent, unpredictable. This alone makes them very dangerous and a distance should be kept. All one has to do is go on virtually any social media to read or view their reprehensible posts continuing to vilify conservatives, demanding the assassination of Trump and a continued diatribe against anyone who voted for him.

I think it is the most appalling thing we see today that Trump supporters are expected to hide or not wear Trump gear in public or place signs on their lawns, all for fear of being violently attacked. This is reprehensible. I saw many Harris/Walz lawn signs and while I immediately think of how uneducated and possibly stupid those people may be, I’d never want to harm them, steal their signs or tell them they cannot exercise free speech. Yet, this is what the Left, for the most part, has done for the past four years or more and they will continue to do it as we approach January 20, 2025.

We also have a number of political races in Arizona and elsewhere, where strong leads by Republican candidates have literally evaporated as the “counting” continues. This is third world stuff and it signals voter fraud. Kari Lake was cheated out of the governorship of Arizona and now she is being cheated out of her seat in Congress. Of course, to say that means I’m a “conspiracy theorist,” although it is perfectly legitimate for the Left to make the same accusation where Trump is concerned. The fact that he won the popular and electoral college votes tends to easily negate their protestations.

My whole point is that it is very difficult to trust the Left. Their rhetoric is increasingly violent. They appear to want to ramp things up in society so that another civil war will occur. As I mentioned last time, it is important for conservatives to not take the bait. At the same time, I also believe it is important not to be inhibited by them, with respect to our freedom of speech and to remain completely calm if ever approached by their agitprops. Remember, it is the agitprops’ job to incite. They are well versed in this. They will scream at you and come up very close to you without touching you because they want YOU to make the mistake of making the first physical move. Don’t take the bait! Remain calm. Find a way to laugh at them. If they DO physically attack you, then be ready to respond to it, but not until. Personally, I’ll give them a wide berth.

One other thing I’d like to mention, which has become very important to me (and hopefully to you). I’m praying earnestly for Trump’s salvation. To me, that is far more important than the state of this country, although I’m hoping for the best there as well.

It may well be that Trump has had or is experiencing a spiritual wake up call, having escaped death twice now. Anyone who is not a Christian and comes close to assassination likely begins looking at things like the meaning of life. I’m praying that God will do for Trump what he did for Nebuchadnezzar and others in Scripture. Right now, I believe he wants what is best for America and Americans. However, in spite of his best intentions, he still needs to get right with God in Christ. There are some people close to him like Paula White, who are false teachers/prophets. We need to be praying that God will surround Trump with actual Christians whose ultimate goal is to see Trump saved. Certainly, God is capable so that’s what I’m praying for and I hope you will join me.

The other issue related to this is that while we cannot play the Left’s game and should avoid getting sucked into their criminal shenanigans, we also need to approach each situation where they are concerned with the mindset of Jesus. This of course means that they need to hear the Gospel. Chances are great that they will reject it because they love lies and hate truth. However, we do not know what God intends for every Leftist we ever meet. We know that He does not want anyone to perish and some of us (me included), need to become better equipped at evangelizing the lost.

It’s ultimately not about America though critically thinking people are grateful for a potential stay of execution for the next few years hopefully. Ultimately, it’s about lives lost or saved and if we do not project Jesus in our demeanor, who will?
