The Evangelical Monolith?

One of the oft repeated utterances amongst the television talking heads post the South Carolina Primary, left and right and then aped by their viewers is: "Cruz was counting on carrying the evangelical vote in South Carolina and Trump got more of them instead.”

When a Democrat pundit speaks this, or some variation of the statement, it reveals the one-dimensional thinking rife in those who lean left--it's programming really, it’s the reason they tend to support the Bernie and Hillary types.

Liberals believe in monoliths--because the left stacks people neatly into rigid piles so they can develop ways to pander specifically to each. The Black vote, the women's vote, the LGBT vote... Each gets it's scientifically designed, specifically tailored set of promises to deal with grievances created by their Hegelian masters.

The right leaning pundit speaking this way generally reveals a preference for Donald Trump—I find Eric Bolling and Sean Hannity, (both Catholic) or Mike Gallagher (Methodist, a more liberal Protestant group today) the less cerebral right leaning pundits, tend to always find a way to turn some idiotic thing issuing forth from the Donald’s mouth into an apologetic for him, all while insisting they are neutral.

The "Evangelical" vote is not a monolith any more than the other groups are.

You err in thinking Evangelical is synonymous with white conservative Republicans. Most of the Evangelicals I know personally are Black liberals who vote Democrat-- (Evangelical being primarily defined as a Bible believing Protestant who stands on the idea of spreading the good news of salvation through Christ Jesus.) This was the reason I started my Blog Digital Publius back in 2007, to challenge Christians voting for a man so obviously against the things of God as Barrack Obama was and so manifestly more obviously is today now he no longer has to pretend.

Black Evangelicals tend to put racial identity and materialism above the Word of God when it comes to politics—This is why they vote in such large numbers for the vilest of people, even when those liberal candidates stand against nearly every tenet taught in the Holy Bible. Black folks do this while living in areas decimated by the ideas of the liberals they put in leadership.

When you ask black Evangelicals why they don’t vote for Republicans, even when you point out the Republican believes as they do on so many issues like abortion, special rights for the LGBT community and so on, they either respond; The Republicans are racist, or don’t like the poor, or any of the other things the left through media and their agents on the ground perpetuate to keep them voting Democrat.

Racism to Democrats is not supporting things like Affirmative Action, though they never question why the left does not support School choice and vouchers. Standing against a perpetual welfare state and supporting the dignity of hard work is racist. Yet the Clintons create the most Draconian drug-sentencing laws in the 90s, creating the largest boom in black incarceration in history is not racist. The white Cocaine mogul gets light sentencing, while the street level dealer gets mandatory life…  All this of course aids in the break down of the black family, heck the family in general, whose health is the only true starting point to eradicate the need for welfare.

South Carolina is an open primary, if you don’t think Democrats of every stripe, including those who consider themselves just as evangelical as President Jimmy Carter are committed to forcing a candidate on the right most easily beaten by Mrs. Clinton, you are really quite naïve. Trump fits the bill. Of the top three Republicans, Trump is the only one not beating Hillary in any of the polls. Otherwise poll happy Trump and his supporters, like ignoring this fact. Monolithic, group thinking is how we got in the position we now find ourselves.

" Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure."  I Timothy 5:22

Every time President Obama, or Hillary Clinton shows up at a Black church, affecting a quasi-southern Negro dialect, (That’s the way they think all Black people talk apparently) or in front of a group of Pastors, followed up with a photo-op featuring said pastors laying hands on a candidate, while said candidate holds their beliefs in utter contempt inwardly, you are seeing the Evangelical vote.

“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:4

The Real Face of Racism

 

Former NY Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, during a forum held at the Aspen Institute, takes time out of discussing drug legalization to make this statement:

95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said.

“These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed,” Bloomberg said. “They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger.”

At one point, the former mayor brought up New York City’s stop-and-frisk practices, which gained national attention in 2011. Bloomberg said that during his last year in office, a minister at a Baptist church in Harlem invited him to speak.

“While I’m sitting there waiting for him to introduce me, he said to his congregation, ‘You know, if every one of you stopped and frisked your kid before they went out at night, the mayor wouldn’t have to do it,’” Bloomberg said. “And so I knew I was going to be okay with that audience.”

He was okay because he was in a room already thoroughly indoctrinated with the kinds of poison the Democrats infest minority minds with. Liberal/Democrat party ideology and policies are at the very root of the minority male ennui Bloomberg here laments! I like the way Milwaukee County Sheriff David A Clarke summed it up:

“You would have to absolutely loathe black people to want to keep them mired in generational poverty and ignorance, living in ghettos with high unemployment, with their kids shackled to failing K-12 urban school systems and crime-ridden neighborhoods just to secure a permanent voting majority and to hang onto political power.”

When asked what the U.S. can do to get people out of poverty. Bloomberg responded that conventional wisdom points to education, but education isn’t going to help uneducated adults.

Apparently Mr. Bloomberg has never heard of “Adult Education,” training programs, or just the idea of acquiring skills to make oneself more marketable on your own. Ironic when you consider he spoke about vocational education earlier in the same forum. When you promote ideas like personal responsibility, even in education, you may harm your constituency by raising them above their need for leftist help. Mustn't do that!

Racist White liberals like Michael Bloomberg and their indoctrinated, or equally evil black liberal minions in politics and media—Spare no opportunity to preach the minority communities inferiority. Teaching without fail minorities are incapable of competing with white folks like them without their masters in government’s help.

So these at risk youths internalize the message the system is rigged against them, even with a “Black” President and the massive amounts of wealth created by black folks in the freest nation in the history of the world. Liberals twist, change or flat out omit history and manipulate news stories in favor of propaganda in order to inflame minorities, keeping them in a perpetual state of perceived victim hood.

Liberals promote idleness every time they create new ways to reward the idle with entitlements unattached to the simple dignity of work. They do this while demonizing any philosophy suggesting personal responsibility or even culpability amongst the idle. Anyone promoting, as the Holy Bible teaches that charity begins at home, or If you are able-bodied and don’t work, you don’t eat, is summarily pilloried.

“And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 23:22

The poor and strangers had to come and gather the food for themselves, they had to work to eat—God did not instruct the land owners to put the food in baskets and distribute it—The dignity of the poor is maintained in this arrangement, it even provides the needy the opportunity to ask for permanent employment when thanking the landowner for following God’s instruction.

To the left, such an arrangement, asking the poor to offer some kind of work in return for governmental largesse is somehow hateful and anti-charity and anti aiding the poor, when largesse by it's very nature implies inferiority. After the inevitable deterioration of urban areas leads to crime and violence, instead of addressing the root—Leftists like Bloomberg and President Obama react by blaming guns, calling for their removal without regarding the same tools usefulness in self-defense for those who are truly victims.

Liberalism creates those 15-25 year old male minorities so given to violence and they are doing what idle young men of any variety have always done.

You want to put an end to urban hopelessness and violence? How about allowing school vouchers, so parents can get their kids out of failing school systems? Let them go to school with your family’s kids Mr. Bloomberg. After we remove ourselves from the teacher’s unions protecting all those worthless urban schools and properly educate our children—How about we unleash the free market?

Lets reform the horrific tax laws and ridiculous regulations designed by the left to choke businesses. Let the free market work, creating plentiful jobs and boundless innovation! Who cares how many immigrants want to come to our nation? If the jobs are flowing, we will need them.

Taking your gun away is the ultimate means of controlling you.

How about discontinuing the creation of narratives making law enforcement the villain when dealing with criminality? Let’s stop turning criminals into sympathetic characters—The Holy Bible rightly teaches  “…the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,”

Don’t strong arm store owners, or illegally sell loose cigarettes and you reduce your chances of running afoul of the law and being the “Victim” of brutality. When white cops start to walk up as a matter of course and start shooting black folks minding their own business—Ill be first in line with my gun strapped on, to shout Black Lives Matter!

Guns are not the problem, people like Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama and Michael Bloomberg are the problem! Idleness does not always result in urban brutality—When the white and wealthy are idle, they come up with ideas like socialism. We used to call them Parlor Pinks or Pinkos. Then stupid people of every kind buy into it.

Folks are only able to sit around dreaming so-called “Progressive” ideas after capitalism creates the wealth allowing for idleness. Socialism is fueled by capitalism, socialism has never created wealth, nor has it brought anyone out of poverty—Ever! It does the exact opposite--it crushes prosperity and eats at the soul.

Yet the left somehow believes what I call U.S. Style Socialism will work when socialism without regard to nomenclature has never worked anywhere. Tragically, so many of our mushy headed youth and a good number of mature Americans believe Democratic Socialism, as espoused by Bernie Sanders overtly and Hillary covertly is a viable economic idea. This is a testimony to the effectiveness of leftist propaganda and control. There are no greater racists and parlor pinks than Michael Bloomberg, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, they represent the soft racism of low expectations and pandering—Every time Clinton affects her quasi-southern, black dialect, at black churches or events, she is calling minorities stupid.

“I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” – Lyndon Baines Johnson
