From My Heart
After speaking with several people lately, I think I am safe in saying that people everywhere are discouraged, deflated, and even defeated because of the outcome of the election. People are afraid we are heading for a disastrous economic crash because of the undoing by executive order, the economic policies President Trump used to create the best economy the world has ever seen!
The cry for national unity is one of the biggest jokes we have heard in a long time. After 4 years of attacking Donald Trump from every angle, after Pelosi and the House have impeached Trump twice, after calling him a traitor, a liar, a puppet of Putin, and stood before microphones day after day and just straight up lying - now Biden and the Liberal left want all of us to come together, hold hands and be good little boys and girls!
Trust me on this one folks, “unity” to the Progressive Left is code for “conformity.” They do not want unity, they want conformity! Here is how they function: they make blanket statements about things, and that is the way it is - so don’t question what they say - just conform...just go along with their statement. Here is an example: the media said just hours after the election that the 2020 election was the cleanest, fairest, most efficiently run election in our nation’s history. They then had Bill Barr go along and repeat the same line. The media throws the same argument now to every person who dares question the election results!
So, you don’t dare question their narrative or the “cancel culture” will crush you! They don’t want unity - they want conformity! We are in serious trouble in our country with this bunch of Socialists in power! Biden said, “It is time for all us to come together as one!” And the whole time they are marching new articles of impeachment against Trump over to the Senate, and are signing executive orders by the dozens to kill jobs, and to create job killing regulations! The Canadians are begging Biden not to cancel the Keystone Pipeline, as are many States where the pipeline helps their economy, but the environment is more important to this administration than people!
So, what do we do? We pray, we keep going, and we trust the Lord! But...we do not conform to what the Progressive Left wants us to become. The Lord does not want us to conform to the world, but wants us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds (Romans 12:2).
I pray you will have a great day!
