A one-time democrat unapologetically offends democrats

Non-governmental, religious, and political action organizations have been vociferously touting compassion to rationalize supporting illegal immigrants flooding the border. They are pawns for an unrestrained administration reliant on lies, i.e. mis- and disinformation, about the millions of unvetted individuals allocated “free” housing, feeding, healthcare, and transport at government (taxpayer) expense.
For those Christian groups who like to categorize the financial and physical support as “loving their neighbor,” in fact it is stealing from their fellow citizens. The mischaracterization of biblical tenets to pave the way for disenfranchising Americans, who labor hard to pay more and more taxes under this administration, is flatly immoral.
There is no excuse for twisting Scripture to finance illegal activity, however much religious organizations paint the immigrants as needy and pathetic, which some are but most have been either duped or subsidized by organized crime (that includes the Biden-Harris administration).
Evangelicals For Harris has released an advertisement touting Kamala as the candidate representing Christian values and harmony using the image of the late Evangelist Billy Graham to add credence to their narrative. Franklin Graham, who leads Samaritan’s Purse, decried EFH’s pandering to ill-informed Christians in misrepresenting the elder Graham’s views: “The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris. They even developed a political ad trying to use my father @BillyGraham’s image. They are trying to mislead people. Maybe they don’t know that my father appreciated the conservative values and policies of President @realDonaldTrump in 2016, and if he were alive today, my father’s views and opinions would not have changed.”
That the Baptist News has entered the political field with an article that tried to distance evangelicals from politics and, at the same time, denigrate the republican candidate Donald Trump for “habitual lying, cruelty and lack of evidence of a Christian faith,” and highlight EFH’s Jemar Tisby’s invoking the racist label “Christian Nationalism” as “the greatest threat to democracy,” is hypocritical.
There may be issues over how abortion is handled between Harris and Trump, whom the latter has taken Reagan’s stance, but attempting to color (pun intended) Harris as embracing Christianity is a stretch too far, considering her support for late-term abortion alone. That she raises climate change that worships the earth, God’s creation above that of God Himself, the Creator, is evidence of unbelief.
How large ministries are receiving funds from socialist sponsors such as the Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Hewlett, Ford and Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which promulgate acceptance of the trans agenda, man’s supposed power to change earths’ climate, or that illegal immigrants should be embraced for breaking the nation’s laws, was uncovered by Megan Basham. Bible studies like the “After Party” disseminated by Leftist David French’s group have been received with alacrity on many church and seminary campuses, creating a liberal political application of Scripture.
Democrats have been trained over decades to submit to the apologetics of socialism, to believe that “equity” is biblical because it is taught that the religious give to the poor, orphans and widows, which is so. However, there is a huge chasm between how government delivers aid and how the Church is directed to assist the less fortunate, and government “approved” non-profits aren’t it. They are partners in the scheme to undermine and dismember the republic under the guise of compassion.
There is nothing compassionate about encouraging sloth and illegal activity by bankrolling it with larceny, borrowed funds, or forcefully appropriated taxes. It is larceny when non-profits receive contributions under false pretenses. Donors believe they are giving to organizations that assist the helpless. They aren’t told that the funds go to pave the way for illegal entry into the country, or subsidizing thousands who blatantly commit heinous crimes. Yet, this is precisely what too many of the religious organizations are doing, and a generous portion, millions of those funds are received from governmental agencies. USAID (that supplied $1M+ to a Hamas-linked charity days before the October 7 massacre), Department of Homeland Security, and the State Department, to name a few.
There has been a steady infiltration of individuals claiming to represent Christ’s teachings by misapplying Scripture in order to turn evangelicals and other Christians into automatic teller machines, coughing up dollar after dollar to support illegal and immoral activity. By indiscriminately supplying funds to house, feed, and move into America millions of individuals of undetermined character originating from roughly 150 countries, believers are knowingly or unwittingly sponsoring the plague of migrant crime that is sweeping the nation.
Giving under these circumstances is irresponsible and immoral because too many unvetted border-hoppers (whether or not they received illegitimate asylum from the corrupt DHS) have not only been favored above citizens, especially veterans, but are vicious criminals. Where in the Bible is it found that believers should shelter and aid thieves, rapists and murderers?
The Biden-Harris administration is the conduit inviting and welcoming in unnumbered immoral actors who distribute lethal drugs, traffic women and children for sex, and provide slave labor to illicit businesses. And the non-profit and religious organizations are the go-betweens enabling these degenerate operations.
As one who left the democrats 30 years ago after recognizing its slow degradation into a party parroting the unrealistic utopian bombast of socialism, it’s evident that those concepts and Jesus’ Christianity don’t mix. It’s not possible to claim Christ as Savior and Guide while voting for candidates that actively dispute who He is and what He teaches. Remember the democrats booed God at their 2012 convention and now double down with the 2024 platform.
Scripture says God shall not be mocked (Gal 6:6-8) but this regime has done nothing but mock Him with virtually every policy it’s promoted and instituted – abortion (to the point of infanticide), climate change (the delusional idea that humanity is able to destroy the earth), war as the mainstay for economic growth, progress can be achieved by de-energizing and de-industrializing society, government healthcare (limiting everyone’s access to medical treatment), limiting misinformation (censorship to deny free speech), transgender rights (infringing on everyone else’s rights), etc.
Now, Kamala Harris, in her grave wisdom is boasting that price controls is the next providential step to improving lives by creating equity in the marketplace. It doesn’t work that way. It is outright communism that has been proven a failure all across the globe in the USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China’s teetering economy, and other collapsed socialist ventures. Government does nothing efficiently because it produces nothing except jobs for red-tape minding apparatchiks.
Capitalism may not be perfect but, in a society that offers equal opportunity, it incentivizes individuals to reach their full potential. And that is what the Bible teaches, that Christ gives us strength to overcome obstacles including faith for the impossible (Phil 4:12-13, Matt 17:20).
Harris and Walz are relying on bamboozling well-intentioned voters with big ideas that lack substance and, in the extreme, counter biblical teaching to tell the truth in love, not lying about vetting border-crossers. Voting or giving without discernment, believing that is an act of love, is turning a blind eye to illegal and immoral behavior.
Help those truly in need and vote for policies that sincerely benefit the nation by promoting Life and how Christ teaches it.
