In The Sound of Music one of the songs goes, “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” In an attempt to steal the talent I would change the words today to “How do you solve the problem Ihlan Omar?” For people of principle she is a gift that goes on giving. It is hard for Americans who don’t understand tribal hatred to look at a photogenic young woman with a big smile and process all the evil that flows from her mouth.
Welcome to the world America. Whether you consider yourself Christian or not you have been raised in a culture that embraces forgiveness and traces its thinking back to such statements as “turn the other cheek” and “judge not”. Most of the world thinks we are crazy to think that. We are, in the world’s terms. The world is still rooted in tribal group-think. The left, which includes most Democrats, have been pushed this way with all the group-think and identity politics espoused by those who want to bring down America.
Under Christian influenced, American thinking your are responsible as an individual for what you do, and with due process you are to be treated as an individual under the law. Under the tolerance of the progressives you are a part of a group and thus you are guilty or innocent based on the elite leadership’s judgement of your category. That is where we get this brain-numbing nonsense that only white people can be racist and that the reason more blacks are arrested is a result of that racism.
My concern is that the masses will not wake up to the poison that is festering in the Democratic Party.
(After I wrote this I found a headline that sounds like a great mind running in a similar channel. It is found at American Greatness. I did not read it to find how similar the text is.)

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
