Sugar-coated Poison
The left’s most successful language-manipulation is designating its minions “progressives.” It’s another lethal cliché – another mask to hide the hideous reality within.
Naturally, the media is on-board. Even FOX calls the Jacobin wing of the Democrats – Commissar Warren and Company — progressives. If they’re “progressive,” conservatives must be regressive.
Mariam-Webster defines progress as a transitive verb meaning “to move forward” and “to develop to a higher, better, or more advanced stage.”
The founding of America was progress – moving toward popular sovereignty and the protection of human rights. The industrial revolution was progress – moving toward a society where machines replaced muscle-power and most of society enjoys the material abundance we have today.
Creatures like Warren, Sanders, AOC and Buttigieg – really, all of the candidates for the nomination of the Party of Plunder — want to drag us back to an ant-hill society. Nationalizing health care, so bureaucrats decide who gets treatment and who doesn’t – that’s progress? Forcing a janitor to pay off the loans of a college grad, whose earning will exceed his tenfold – that’s progress?
The left’s progress leads to double-digit unemployment, tax-slavery, bread lines, fuel shortages — Venezuela.
The way the left uses the word progressive is poison with a sugar-coating.

The Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest Protestant denomination, has faced years of reputational damage after a 2022 report alleged widespread sexual abuse in its churches.

I can’t get one Liberal or National to fight to overturn these anti-free speech laws so that no Australian is ever again subject to this sort of vexatious litigation. If we don’t have free speech, are we really a free nation? How did Australia come to this?

Six New Zealand churches and one chapel were fired-bombed last month. If all this is news to you, it’s not because information is scarce. It’s because left-wing standards don’t register attacks on Christians, Christian property, or Christianity as a hate crime.

I do not want to minimise what believers in Syria and elsewhere are now experiencing. But whatever suffering and persecution we go through, we know that it is limited in duration, that Satan has been overcome and Christ’s enemies will be dealt with, and we will live with our Lord forever.
