The Proregressives* want to Europeanize us. As is typical for the extreme left in politics they want to turn the clock back to an age where special elites had comfort and power and everyone else lived from day to day. That was the history of mankind. Until the Founding Fathers came up with a better idea. They rejected the model of Europe and came up with something new. It worked well for 200 years but now is being destroyed.
Europe is made up of distinct countries. In those countries you have different languages, cultures, ethnic groups. Those are not the things the Founding Fathers wanted to purge from this new country. What they wanted to do away with was the hatred, arrogance, warfare and class snobbery of Europe. They wanted a political and economic system that would allow anyone who was willing to work hard a chance at a piece of the pie. Gradually the Europeanizers have been whittling away at the structure. We are now on the verge of a socialist police state.
In these ways Europe was just like the rest of the world. The racial hate mongers of today want to take anything they can emtionalize and say it is a case of white privilege. These qualities are not a white man thing, they are a human nature thing. America was created to stand above this. The way the elites have attacked it is to pick something you are getting without earning, such as you EBT card, and say that demanding hard work is a white hangup. The Proregressives* will not be happy until the melting pot becomes the blast furnace.
We need to resist this as individuals. We need to develop eyes that look at people as individuals and treat them in the way they deserve to be treated. Martin Luther King, Jr. summarized the America all of us want with his comments about the content of our character, not the color of our skin. We may not be able to take over the BLM and Antifa but we can continue to be Americans by treating our fellow citizens with dignity. Included in that is the expectation that they deserve it.
Fight back, one conversation at a time.

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.
