"Hypocrisy, Panic or Spiritual Warfare: What's Happened To The Left?"


"You gotta wonder about the hypocrisy of Democrats and media going wall-to-wall coverage over allegations from 36 years ago concerning Judge Brett Kavanaugh as a 17-year old, without any corroborating evidence, yet pretty much completely ignoring the allegations of recent abuse by DNC Chair Keith Ellison," writes Nick Arama of Young Conservatives.

Dr. Dave Janda of the popular  radio show Operation Freedom, chalks it up to panic.

"What the Democrats are doing is panicking over the declassifying and release of incriminating DOJ and FBI documents that prove there was a plot to frame President Trump with phony evidence. The Dems and Deep State are fighting the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court because they know when he is seated, Trump will have another judge loyal to the Constitution and a solid 5 to 4 court. This means that criminals in top positions in the U.S. government can and will be indicted."

But prophecy expert Hal Lindsey believes it's end time spiritual warfare.

"One of the hallmarks of the last days will be the rise of irrationality. Romans 1:28 says, 'And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind to do those things which are not proper.' The Greek context here means God gave them over to a mind that cannot even think in its own best interest."

Because Kavanaugh is a conservative Catholic, Lindsey goes on to say, "I truly believe that one of the strongest underlying fears of the left is that a future Justice Kavanaugh's religious faith, if given the opportunity, will compel him to undermine the sacred cows of the left, like abortion and gay marriage.

"That means that his confirmation has taken on the earmarks of spiritual warfare, not simply a review of his judicial qualifications to sit on the highest court."

So is all the craziness over Kavanaugh hypocrisy, panic or spiritual warfare? All three. We have a rule of law in this country: innocent until proven guilty--not the other way around. Kavanaugh was convicted in the MSM and in the minds of the left before the hearing ever began. Whether you're Republican or Democrat, Conservative or Liberal, none of us can be proud of what has happened to Brett Kavanaugh. As Senator Lindsey Graham said, "If this is our new way of doing business, then God help us."

In the meantime, warn your husbands and sons to never ever be alone with a woman--especially one who hates everything they stand for.

A wise man once said: "This is spiritual warfare. It doesn't have anything to do with rationality or intellectual debate. When the establishment comes after you because of your Christian beliefs, recognize that the source of that hostility is Hell itself." -- Hal Lindsey, author
"If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:18

"Death of Civility"

The sudden death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is shocking. Not because he died (after all he was no spring chicken) but because of the reaction to his death.

The politicizing of his absence is to be expected, considering the fact it will undoubtedly reshape the 2016 presidential election. We're not referring to that.

And no, we're not surprised at the firestorm of conspiracy theorists in the wake of Scalia's death (the tin-foil hat crowd see a grassy knoll behind every bush).

So what's so shocking? The comments.

You know, the section reserved for opinions after an online article. It's rarely a happy place, but the death of Scalia brought the hard-core, foul-mouthed haters out in droves.

Justice Scalia ("Nino" to his family and friends) was known for his brilliant mind, devout faith, sharp humor, and many decades of service. He was a fierce watchdog of constitutional rights and the leading voice of uncompromising conservatism.

His unwavering stance against abortion, same-sex marriage and gun bans earned him the respect of conservatives, but the contempt (and hate-filled comments) of those who disagreed with him.

Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson addressed the 'Comments Section' incivility (to put it mildly) in Saturday's debate: "You go to the Internet Comments section--you cannot go five comments down before people are calling each other all manner of names. Where did that spirit come from in America? It did not come from our Judeo-Christian roots, I can tell you that...there is such a thing as right and wrong."

Jesus warned that "the love of many will grow cold" as the end of the age drew near (Matthew 24:13).

The 'comment section' is no place for the faint of heart, and if what people say under the cloak of anonymity accurately reflects their inner-thought life, some are growing cold indeed. A decent man died Saturday leaving behind a grieving family. But because he was a conservative, the comments left (for his family to read) were particularly vicious, filthy, and downright vile.

Scalia was a staunch advocate of free speech, witty and savagely funny. And while he'd be shocked by the comments after his death, he'd undoubtedly defend to his death our right to comment.

A wise man once said: "God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools...and He has not been disappointed...if I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world." -- Antonin Scalia, U.S. Supreme Court Justice
