Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists. This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country. There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance. Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down. This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains. But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx. Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics. What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out. If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion. Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?

🇺🇸 Someone took a box cutter and carved a 350-foot gash through the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool's rubber liner, spray painted "8647" along the way, and did it ten days before America's 250th birthday celebration. 7 arrests, 18 police reports, and now Interior Secretary Burgum on Fox promising full prosecution and calling it the equivalent of throwing paint on Lincoln's statue. The pool is now fenced off ahead of July 4 fireworks. Repairs won't be done in time. Whatever your politics, slashing a 350-foot gash through a 1922 national monument with a box cutter 2 weeks before the country's 250th anniversary is a genuinely stupid way to make a point and these 7 people are about to find out exactly how seriously the federal government takes it.

You know, I’ll never understand why some folks wake up with nothing better to do than try & tear a good person down. What kind of prize do you think you’re winning by dragging your own negativity into somebody else’s sunshine? The honest-to-God truth is, you don’t know what the hell they’ve gone through to get where they are, or what kind of private hell they might be walking through right this second. So tell me, where’s the damn reward in hurting people? I reckon it’s because we don’t look each other in the eye anymore. We don’t stand face-to-face like grown men & women. These cold plastic screens & keyboards have made it way too easy for folks to be cruel, hiding behind a screen without a lick of feeling, remorse, or repentance. Lord, we need to do better. If you can't lift a man up, at least have the decency not to push him down. Amen?
