I should be honest with the people who want to engage in religious debate with me.
I'm happy to debate any topic of my faith, given that it's an honest and open debate.
I've reached a point in my faith that for me to deny this church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as God's one true church on earth would be like denying the sun shines. After all I've experienced, I cannot deny it.
Fair enough, nobody can really define fascism, and with everyone left of mitt Romney calling people to their right "fascist" nearly every day, it's only normal to now see people claiming that they are fascists.
To their credit though, fascism can vary wildly depending on what country is implementing it. Sure it has a set of core values that it adheres to, but the governments can vary wildly in structure and action.
Fascism can be boiled down to "desperate times call for desperate measures" but how desperate the times are and how desperate the measures have to be are completely left to the interpretation of the observer
βDeseret Voicesβ interviews Melissa Dalton-Bradford in this weekβs podcast.
She discusses the authoritarian playbook.
It starts with making up facts, silencing dissent and weaponizing faith. But where is the real tipping point where a democracy canβt pull back?
This new state legislator in Utah has ties to antifa and until recently was in a groupchat where they were planning political assassinations and discussing the benefits of murdering the children of capitalists.
Instead of warning citizens, Utah media gives him this aw shucks feature on the evening news where they act like heβs just this wholesome kid who wants to give out school lunches.
βI just hire the best person for the lowest price.β
That is globalist dogma, not Christian stewardship.
You owe loyalty to your household first. Then your local church. Then your town. Then your nation.
If your margin comes from replacing the young men in your congregation with offshore contractors, you have violated First Timothy 5:8 by assisting in the destruction of opportunities for your children and grandchildren.
Hire your descendants, relatives, and the men you sit in the pews with.
The Book of Mormon, a book written for our day, describes how Group B perpetually insists (incorrectly) that their ancestors were wronged & robbed of their birthright by the ancestors of Group A. Because of this historical narrative that Group B perpetuates, they teach their children that they must hate, murder, rob, plunder, and do all they can to destroy Group A.
β¦wut mean?
2 Nephi 5
20 Wherefore, the word of the Lord was fulfilled which he spake unto me, saying that: Inasmuch as they will not hearken unto thy words they shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord. And behold, they were cut off from his presence.
21 And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.
22 And thus saith the Lord God: I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people, save they shall repent of their iniquities.
23 And cursed shall be the seed of him that mixeth with their seed; for they shall be cursed even with the same cursing. And the Lord spake it, and it was done.
24 And because of their cursing which was upon them they did become an idle people, full of mischief and subtlety, and did seek in the wilderness for beasts of prey.
25 And the Lord God said unto me: They shall be a scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in remembrance of me; and inasmuch as they will not remember me, and hearken unto my words, they shall scourge them even unto destruction.
@state_secession Getting the ball rolling through the legal way, I think Utah would be the best first candidate, especially since it seems that anti-Mormon sentiment is on the rise
They will sell their nation and the future of their own posterity for cheap labor. The soulless merchant is a parasite. The market without virtue is little more a contest among thieves.
Deport all the illegals. Penalize every employer who knowingly hires them.
What these "businessmen" won't tell you is that most of them won't go under if they have hire Americans. They will just make less money.
They know that their illegal workers use our welfare programs. Our taxes subsidize their workers. They also don't pass the savings to us, they pocket the savings from "cheap" labor.
These men want your tax dollars to subsidize their workers and charge you full price while they deprive Americans of jobs. They are thieves.
They should also be banned from doing the "hat and boots" cowboy routine. Get that man a sombrero.
