Reaping The Whirlwind
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*********************
A
whirlwind is a vertical column of air whirling around itself as it
moves over the surface of the Earth. Think about that for a moment.
Now. Consider this: "For they sow the wind; and they reap the whirlwind." That is from the Old Testament book of Hosea chapter 8 verse 7.
Like
so many of the conservative commentariat, I am STILL trying to analyze
why America deliberately decided to turn a corner, or choose a path,
that will unquestionably lead to its own destruction.
The
choice to forsake a constitutional republic for a socialist,
collectivist, Marxist, form of government is surreal. It's like
something from a bad science fiction movie in which the population is
entirely controlled by some malevolent entity intent upon controlling
the world.
I made a terrible mistake (concerning the
recent Presidential Election) when I assumed the American people still
had enough common sense, enough discernment, enough honor left to do the right thing.
The American electorate proved me wrong.
Our
ship of state was (is) (so obviously) headed toward the jagged rocks I
assumed we would remove the less-than-adequate helmsman and replace him
with a real mariner who would stir us away from certain destruction on
the shoals and rocks. I was wrong.
The reelection of Obama was a grand victory for ignorance. It is the pay-off for years of
indoctrination in our public schools. The old Judeo-Christian ethics
have been purged from our public education system in favor of secular
humanism. You can lay the blame for paving the way for it at the feet
of our leftist, radical, Supreme Court and the Court's rulings from as
far back as the 1960's.
Abraham Lincoln is given credit for saying: "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next." Whoever said it -- it was spot on.
If
you, perhaps, thought those of us who warned for decades of the trouble
ahead for America due to the secular (and even religious) humanism
being taught in our public schools were just blowing smoke -- consider
the following carefully: Expanding upon the role the public education
establishment should play to bring about the goals described in the
Humanist Manifesto II, John Dunphy wrote: "I am convinced that
the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public
school classroom by teachers that correctly perceive their role as
proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and
respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human
being...The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between
the old and new -- the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all
its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism,
resplendent with the promise of a world in which the never-realized
Christian ideal of 'love thy neighbor' will finally be achieved." SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanist_Manifesto
The generation of Americans who elected -- and then reelected -- Obama were graduates of this public school system. They
were programmed to act as automatons, to choose loyalty to the state
over loyalty to God and their family. They marched to the polls and did
as they had been told, indeed, had been taught -- indoctrinated to do.
Author Ron Taylor, in his book "Agenda 21: An Expose of the United Nations" in which he writes of the "Sustainable Development Initiative and the Forfeiture of American Sovereignty and Liberties" says the following: "It
is their stated goal...to steal one generation of children and teach
them to place loyalty to the state above loyalty to family."
See, this
generation knows almost nothing of American history. They know next to
nothing about the Judeo-Christian origin of America. They are ignorant
of our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, the
Constitution, the Bill of Rights. The only thing they know about
capitalism and the American system of free markets is what they were
taught -- that capitalism is bad. They know far more about the benefits of Socialism and Marxism and "equality."
"Those
coming out of years of humanistic brainwashing masquerading as public
education know little of the Bible, America's Christian origins and
founding documents, and the blessings of free-market capitalism.
Instead, they know a great deal about sex education, values
clarification, moral relativism, Darwinian evolution, Socialism and
Marxism, earth worship, multiculturalism, one-world globalism, Israeli
occupation of Palestinian territories, and appeasement foreign policy.
Products of these schools comprised the Obama voters in 2012." SOURCE: http://www.bibleprophecyblog.com/2012/11/there-arose-another-generation-after.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BibleProphecyBlog+%28Bible+Prophecy+Blog%29#
The definition of discernment is: The cognitive condition of someone who understands. It also means: The trait of judging wisely and objectively.
We learned on November 6th that "discernment" is something that is
"verging" on extinction in America today. We no longer know our right
hand from our left -- nor good from evil. Thanks to moral relativism,
better known as political correctness, modern Americans believe there is
no such thing as good and evil, or right and wrong. Everything is,
well, relative.
It no longer matters what
scripture teaches us, what history teaches us, what experience teaches
us, what common sense teaches us, nor what plain old morality teaches
us. No. Now it is -- how do I feel about it. "I," and/or "Me," is at
the center of their very existence.
For a perfect example of this self-centered life, one has only to listen to one of our President's speeches. Try to keep a running tally of the number of times the words "I" and "Me" and "MY" are spoken in a single address.
What is equally troubling is how effective the narcissism
indoctrination of our young scholars has been. For the most part, they
don't even notice the over-abundant use of those personal pronouns "I"
and "me" and the "possessive" adjective "my," because, to them, it's NORMAL! How inexpressively sad that is.
Some
years ago, I left my church when I "discerned" it was swinging away
from the Gospels and embracing the apostate teachings of the leftist
political agenda. Now, we have social justice, environmentalism,
inclusiveness, tolerance, multiculturalism, all lovingly spoken of from
the pulpits of our religious community.
With
all the respect I can muster for those of America's religious community
who have sold out to mammon, allow me to ask: Are you REALLY surprised that the leftist agenda you supported, and led your flocks to support, would come back to bite you? As
you have now learned, you cannot pick and choose which parts of the
leftist agenda you will support and which parts you will not. It is all
-- or nothing!
The reason so many are so
concerned about the reelection of Obama is not JUST his
Socialist/Marxist agenda only. It is the sudden understanding that this
was a culmination of all the work the progressive left has done in our
schools and our churches since, at least, the late 1940's.
The progressive left has successfully created a hybrid American. They
have created a society wholly dependent upon others for, well,
everything. Easily led these new Americans can be made to do, say, and
believe anything their masters want. They are the perfect slaves. And they are self perpetuating.
Ultimately, it means the death of America -- the stabilizing force on the planet. Without America, chaos will reign on planet earth.
THAT is why we are so troubled and upset by the results of the election. Obama's reelection was the final step toward a single world-wide government or "global governance."
For many decades now we have diligently sown the wind. Now, we shall reap the harvest from that which we have so blithely sown -- the whirlwind.
