Jimmy Carter was a welcome change from the Nixon Era. Ford and Carter were pretty much aware of needing to be low key after what the country had been through. They were just caretakers until we were ready for a real President again with Reagan.
Yet Reagan sold weapons to Iran in exchange for trying free some hostages in Lebanon. Money was also sent to Nicaragua . That was some stellar diplomacy that did not work out in the long run.
Christianity is the worship of God through benevolence and good will towards fellow man. We don't need an inquisition to determine the motivation of lawmakers of good will, to see if they are in violation of the 1st Amendment by their legislative proposals.
A pimple on an elephant's butt compared to the Obama and Biden administrations.

Sacred destruction and the search for lost gods.
Politicians rationalize their irresponsible actions citing "the greater good", which never seems to appear. Of course, Washington D.C. and the various State governments are always playing catchup regarding the problems that the citizens cause.
Well said!The Religion of the Left | Frontpage Mag
Sacred destruction and the search for lost gods.
To the Left, there is no God, but we all have the potential to become gods by mastering the secrets of the universe, whether that means technotopian transhumanism or becoming one with the AI gods they intend to create, forcing everyone into an ideal society that will unlock human potential, or figuring out the right energy patterns to usher in the age of aquarius. While seemingly very different approaches, the various utopian strands of leftism speak to a common yearning that pits them against the traditional beliefs of the societies they aspire to overturn.
The Left’s intellectual pursuits are primarily aimed at analyzing how power is distributed in a society. These academic and journalistic critiques build up to justifying its own power grabs. And the Left excels at analyzing and seizing power because power is its only source of meaning.
This movement is animated by a culture war in which all morality is reduced to power. The redemption of the nation and the salvation of the planet depend on a leftist takeover implemented by a white collar cult that has put its career aspirations and wealth at the service of leftist dogma in return for the conviction that the professional aspirations and privileges of its members are redemptive. An Ivy League education, an academic position, and a corporate executive’s office are no longer just personal achievements, but a moral crusade.
Mimetic movements like the Left take on the characteristics and eventually become the thing they are imitating. After spending all that time working from within the system, they have become the system. And the system has become them. Bureaucrats and CEOs have adopted the protective coloration of leftist virtue signaling to cover their many sins much as leftists adopted the protective coloration of government and corporations to cover their agenda.
... the easiest way to understand leftism is to invert every one of its claims to find the truth) and it is turning societies into hives of systems and rules.
But systems are leftist forums of religious experience and moral fulfillment. A leftist church is any institution and its service is a collective takeover of that institution. But the momentary triumph of the takeover is never enough. When these systems fail to achieve their utopian promise through technocratic rulesets, as they always must, they come to serve their primary purpose of destroying everything that sinfully exists to clear the ground for a glorious tabula rasa, a blank page,and a new form of man, for a new creation.
Each leftist failure serves as evidence that not enough of the past had been destroyed to make way for the future. That is why killing or sexually mutilating children, or racism, are sacred.

God will cut that short, but not until there is a bloodbath.
Good article!
It is pretty clear that the God of the Bible is saying that if he allowed the human race to follow their current coarse without God's intervention, the human race would, indeed, destroy itself.God will cut that short, but not until there is a bloodbath.
Matthew 24:21-22
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
