The United States of America is not unaccustomed to the use of deadly force to change the political landscape of the Nation.
In our history there have been four successful presidential assassinations beginning with Abraham Lincoln and followed by Eugene A. Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy. In addition there have been three unsuccessful presidential assassination attempts: one on a sitting President, Ronald Regan, and two on former presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Donald J. Trump.
Six of those seven targets were or are Republicans. While Jack and Bobby Kennedy were Democrats their policies were very much like those of those six Republicans.
There have also been a number of assassinations of high profile political and civil rights figures most notably Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Junior.
In my life I have witnessed six of those assassinations attempts three of which were successful. And like all the other assassination attempts successful and otherwise — they were committed by those opposed to Republican Conservative policies.
The latest attempt on Donald Trump leaves no doubt that the rhetoric of the leadership of the Democrat party was a substantial if not sole factor in prompting the attempt on Donald Trumps. Prayers and God’s intervention saved his life.
James Woods has done an expert job of reminding the world who are the real spewers of violent rhetoric directed at Donald Trump AND those of us who support him are. And as recently as June 28th, just a bit more than 2 weeks ago, this is what Joe Biden, President of the United States, had to say.
Look closely at the number of views that Biden’s provocation to violencegained — 3.8 Million.
And here is what Colorado State Representative Steven Woodrow had to offer BEFORE he deleted his account.
Again, look at the number of views — 1.3 Million.
The interesting thing about bullies is that they are often if not always, cowards. Case in point last night Joe Biden, Provocateur in Chief insisted that we “dial down the Rhetoric”. Others within the Democrat party are blaming Donald Trump’s “rhetoric” for the attempt on his own life but I have just shown you who the real voices of violence are.
And there’s more. It is the Democrats who have embarked on a road of “Lawfare” beginning with the 2010 weaponization of the IRS which was successfully used to prevent conservative organizations from acquiring 503C status. Since then they have refined their techniques to file frivolous and false suits based on non-existent laws mostly directed at Christian, Donald Trump, sometimes his allies, and most certainly many of those who were arrested in connection with the January 6th protest.
And if this isn’t enough dot connecting lets look at Antifa and the Democrats.
Joe Biden famously repeated a portion of Attorney General Christopher Wray’s statement before Congress that “Antifa is an idea, not an organization.” That “idea” almost destroyed Portland, Oregon. Biden, in his debate with Trump tried to make Trump responsible for that comment and felt no need to get the entirety of the quotation correct or to disavow Antifa himself.
Even more stunning is the amount of support offered by Democrats for the often violent and almost always racist Black Lives Matter movement. A 2023 poll by the Pew Research Center showed that 84% of democrats support BLM even though their founder has been shown to be corrupt and their rhetoric remains anti-white and provocative.
So, Joe Biden, IF you want to “dial things down” ask God for forgiveness and begin the chore in your own house.
As for the rest of us — our task is to continue to do as God would have us do. This also applies and particularly so to our faith leaders who must show us what that means in the political arena. The Unites States of America was founded on Judeo-Christian precepts derived from the word of God. They need to help us negotiate these stormy waters and to render unto “Caesar” that which belongs to “Caesar” which means that we are obligated to vote and to vote for those candidates who fit God’s imperative for how we are to live our lives as he would have us live them.
IF we can do that our “kings” will be wise; our Shepards will be good.
