Some History Related to the Left's Strategy

I thought it interesting to see how political warfare was waged in ancient times compared to now. This might belong in the religious section, but I figured it intersects current politics so well that I'd start it out here for consideration. 

In Ezra the remnant of Israel (those not destroyed) are given permission by King Cyrus of Persia - a huge empire / dynasty centered in Iran.  The enemies of Judah hate the idea, but can't just attack because Cyrus favors the tribes of Israel. Pick up on Ezra 4:1-5; first their enemies go to the Israelite leadership and declare they want to help - seek Israel's God. After being turned down, they set up a social campaign to discourage the people of Judah and to make them afraid - basically to get them to give up their cause. Then they hire counselors to work against the Israelites - to frustrate their plans. And when Cyrus was out and Artaxerxes was in, they lodged accusations against the Jews - that they were building "a wicked and rebellious city."

And what could the Jews do in response? They just continued to rely on the truth and trust in the Lord and had a ready answer for those in leadership when they took the time to look into the matter. Eventually the "right" won out and those on the left were threatened with execution (Ezra 6:11) if they changed the eventual edict.

We see the dims and faux conservatives in Congress doing this continually to subvert our republic. We see the strategies from the libs / socialists / Marxists continually. They will do whatever it takes (Machiavellian) to get what they want and to shut down progress. The LSM is full of their propaganda. They have been shown to hire "consultants" to infiltrate discussions / speeches and purposely cause violence. Moreover, the RINOs are such a problem; some are basically conservatives who have rationalized away their beliefs in the right principles and the constitution while other RINOs are wolves in sheep's clothing that have infiltrated Pub party.

I think that IF true believers (Christians) in our nation humble themselves before God and ask him for deliverance and protection, that the evil component of our nation will eventually be overcome. There will always be conflict, but that we can return to being  "One nation, under God" if the remnant who pursues God is faithful. But that's a big if.

I'll consider it a strong indicator that our nation is turning when we see abortion become identified for what it is ... the murder of our children. We all have blood on our hands for letting this happen; a great shame of our nation.

Matthew 25 NIV

34 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'

41 Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'
