Dave Griffey at Daffey Thoughts has a look at how contemporary Leftists despise These United States:
However much you think the modern Left hates America
And to a broader extent, the whole of the Christian West, you doubtlessly underestimate the reality. This was brought to mind when Deacon Greydanus copied this FB post:
Woof. Most “White” Americans in 1872 were White Supremacists? What about 1873? That made me think of this:
The joke is that this is a fellow insisting Trump/MAGA/Conservatives are the Nazi racists when he, like so many on the modern Left, thinks nothing of judging and condemning an entire nationality based on race and ethnicity. We call that projection, not to mention naked hypocrisy. And, of course, it’s racism plain and simple. But it’s what we’re up against, and there are obviously a growing number of people in the world more than happy to cheer on this thinking, since they can clearly see where this attitude and bias is heading.
If you’re wondering, here was Deacon Greydanus’s own comment in the post that linked to this typical progressive spin on our history:
Saying you will learn anything about anything by reading such a leftist screed is like saying ‘If you don’t know the background of the LGBTQ community – read Fred Phelps.” We won’t get into the slanted way one must see history to agree with such an appraisal.
As the Left peddles more and more anti-Caucasian race hate for the purpose of burning the whole of the Western tradition, and further makes clear that it cares not a lick about human suffering but that it can be exploited, and on top of it all is doing this in order to sniff around the door of walking back religious liberty, free speech, advocating cannibalism, excusing the slaughter of Jews, and pondering the benefits of human sacrifice, we’re faced to confront a difficult reality. Those Christians who have long aligned with the left of center can’t possibly not see what is happening. Naivete and innocent credulity only go so far. At some point we must concede that they know full well what is being done, they see it for what it is, and for reasons known only to them and God, they fully align with it. Not that this hasn’t happened many times in history. It’s just difficult when it’s happening in your own time.
Envy seeks to destroy what it could never create, insolence to silence what it can’t refute, and appetite to rage against any that would rebuke it’s lusts. That’s the Left.
What puzzles me is how folks like the infamous Ban-Shea get caught up in this. Frustration with the imperfections of an ideal as implemented? Any mature man knows that’s Original Sin and can’t be avoided, although it can be recognized, amended (and forgiven). Smudges on the garb of our childhood heroes? Same thing: fallen humanity (just like us). I don’t get him or his ilk.
