If one were to analyze all the different types of people in America politically, you would find a wide spectrum of disagreements from far left to far right. But the recent No Kings protest last Saturday revealed what can only be described as public displays of insanity. When one does an investigation and assembles the complex pieces of the puzzle they can begin to understand the real reason why the left is becoming so deranged.
For example, a booth with a sign posted at a Colorado “NO KINGS” protest really exposed what these protests are all about. They are about communists in America losing ground because of the election of Donald J. Trump as president. Denver Communists hosted a booth at the protest there with a sign saying “Charlie Kirk had it coming – Change my mind.” This was an obvious attempt to mock Kirk as this was his own format whereby he would post a position on a placard at a folding table and invite college students to come and engage him in debate.
Some creative internet sleuths of the right took it upon themselves to identify some of those in attendance in the booth in pictures which today is known as “doxing them”. They did so because they believe these communists working to start a Civil War and they should be designated a terrorist organization by President Trump.
So, many of us were raised to show respect for the dead. We were raised not to speak ill after the dead. The rationale is God, the Father, will judge those who do not do this most harshly as those who have passed are no longer able to defend themselves from possible libel and slander. For this reason alone many of us have been shocked and appalled at the hatred and disrespect show towards the passing of Charlie Kirk.
About 2 weeks ago a podcaster by the name of Josh Howerton shared an year old clip from Charlie Kirk. In 2 weeks that clip has garnered almost half a million views!
“Charlie Kirk’s *TRUTH BOMB* on America and Christianity” – Lakepointe Church
Howerton introduces the clip noting Charlie Kirk’s brain was like a computer! A young college student asked Kirk if America was founded on Christian principles or on common law because the Declaration of Independence only refers to God four times and the Constitution doesn’t refer to God at all. Kirk responded without hesitation:
“Remember that we were a collection of states and colonies and you need to read the state constitutions before anything else. Nine out of thirteen of the original states required you to be a Bible believing Christian to serve in government at the time of the founding. You could even… Actually, 13 out of 13 required a declaration of faith, 9 out of 13 required you to be a Protestant except Maryland which was Catholic, which still required a declaration of faith. In almost every single one of the original state constitutions, Pennsylvania included, they had ‘I profess Lord and Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior…’ in the original state constitutions. So you remember we’re a collection of States before that.
Secondly, 55 out of 56 of the original signers of the Declaration were Bible believing Church attending Christians. You asked about common law, so common law is inherited from Blackstone who was Christian. A common law is an outgrowth of the scriptures. So let’s go to three principles of common law; presumption of innocence, due process, and jury of your peers. All three are biblical principles so and all wrapped into the ultimate biblical principle that you shall not favor justice if you are rich or poor which is in Leviticus 19… Right before the most famous part of Leviticus 19 which is, ‘That you should love your neighbor as yourself,’ but before that is that in the administration of justice you shall not favor the rich or the poor which is the idea of Blind Justice. We get that in the west which is incorporated also in the New Testament ideal neither slave nor Greek nor Jew you are all one in Jesus Christ which got the idea of human equality. These are all biblical ideas, they’re not enlightenment ideas, which is they kind of get conflated at the time. But more importantly than that, they say that God was only mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence well that’s a big deal. Okay? Laws of nature and nature as God, the last paragraph of the Declaration reads as a prayer. It says we appeal to the Supreme Judge of the universe. Who’s the judge of the universe? Jesus Christ, as it says in Revelation that Jesus will judge the Earth on His throne… This is so… in the Declaration they were praying to Christ Our Lord as a prayer very specifically.
Thirdly, as I set on stage yesterday; Deuteronomy was by far the most quoted book religious or non-religious in the time of the founding when they were putting together Constitution more than John Lock, more than Montesquieu, more than Blackstone… So the book of Deuteronomy, which talked about laws, customs, traditions, was Moses farewell address as he’s, you know, about to say goodbye… Says, ‘Hey good luck in Canaan guys, here’s how you should set up your form of government…’ But finally, and most importantly, let’s look at actually what the founders said.
John Adams seamlessly said the Constitution was only written for a moral and religious people it was wholly inadequate for the people of any other. The body politic of America was so Christian and was so Protestant that our form and structure of government was built for the people that believed in Christ Our Lord. One of the reasons we’re living through a constitutional crisis is that we no longer have a Christian Nation. But we have a Christian form of government and they’re incompatible. So you cannot have liberty if you do not have a Christian population so that, that’s, just that’s just a surface level belief.” (Crowd applause.)
CONCLUSION:
My father used to use an expression when I was a kid, “Godless communists!” I never really fully grasped it’s meaning until this past week. So this episode in American history taught me several things as a life lesson:
1. Communists are indeed godless and have no fear of consequences for their sins towards their fellow man.
2. Charlie Kirk was right, America was founded as a Christian nation and something is going to have to be done to all of those who do not share our forefather’s beliefs or the beliefs of most of America (62 to 69% of Americans believe we are a Christian nation) for America to remain.
3. If a civil war does break out, it will be short lived and many people who got themselves on the wrong side of American history will be gone quickly.
I don’t really care about the enemies within being removed from America, but I do have great sadness about collateral damage. When man judges others, as if he were God, mistakes are inevitably made. The irony is we call that “friendly fire”.
