Christian Nationalist

 State Collectivism atheism has again reared its ugly head, call it Communism, Socialism. Social Democracy or co-opted American Democrats. It is all about power being centralized in the core of the government and separating individual Americans into competing groups carrying out politics with GOD always in mind. We must lift up our end. Our job as Christians is in regaining our country.

Christians to fill local school boards, county boards, and state and federal offices. Many states have ballot initiatives, and citizens can directly change a law. Down to the county level in some states. Promote & support candidates. God has blessed us, now it's time to give back.

s snarling and hating one another rather than a United America and stealing our freedom and individual power, our power to associate, protest peacefully, and even how or if we can communicate.

We now live in tyranny with political prisoners, the government pulling opposition politicians out of bed, by jackbooted thugs in the middle of the night, We now have rigged elections, the government coercing social media into stopping free speech the politicization of federal agencies like the DOJ and EPA, etc.

The Lord will always pick up His end of the log. We must lift our end and we haven't been doing that. God gave us the power to take this land and manage it in his name (all land eventually reverts to God) his land to be guided by Christian framework and morality. Not other cultural and religious cultures.

America has grown into the freest, most charitable, and most welcoming country in the history of the world because of that moral framework. That Judeo-Christian structure has the sustainability of 3000 years of civilization.

Our churches must become the framework and structure of that America once more, as it was in the beginning.

 Our churches must become the basis of our culture & politics once again. The Constitution forbids the establishment of a state religion. Other than that Christians have free reign and should do so while we have a somewhat conservative court.

Churches are full of patriots and good Christians as a basis for organizations. Carrying out politics with GOD always in mind. We must lift up our end. Our job as Christians is in regaining our country. Christians and their churches need to fill local school boards, county boards, and state and federal offices. Many states have ballot initiatives, and citizens can directly change a law. Down to the county level in some states. Promote & support candidates. God has blessed us, now it's time to give back.

We owe it to GOD for giving us this wonderful motherland and we should keep it in His name it is the only thing that will save our country. Our laws must always be secular our culture must be aggressively Christian. I am a Christian Nationalist and MAGA. God, Family, and Country.

Only GOD will save us and only if we pick up our end of the log.

 

It’s Not Cognitive Dissonance. It’s Doublethink.

Cognitive dissonance is when people feel discomfort due to discrepancies in their own thoughts or beliefs. As an example, someone who takes pride in being honest, feels such discomfort when he tells a lie.

Another example of cognitive dissonance is the discomfort felt by members of a cult when they seek to explain how the end of the world was postponed, as their apocalyptic prophecy did not come true. The term was in fact coined by psychologist Leon Festinger in his studies of such cults in the 1950s.

The opposite of cognitive dissonance is doublethink, a word that first appeared in George Orwell’s 1984. Doublethink is the ability to accept two contradictory beliefs at the same time, while being totally unaware of the contradiction. In Orwell’s own words:

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.

This morning I saw an excellent example of this on someone’s Facebook wall (translated by FB from the Icelandic, so not perfect):

Tertullian, one of the church fathers, born in the late second century, made the following observation regarding the birth, death and resurrection of Christ:

Natus est Dei Filius, non pudet, quia pudendum est;

et mortuus est Dei Filius, prorsus credibile est, quia ineptum est;

et sepultus resurrexit, certum est, quia impossibile.

In English:

“The Son of God was born: there is no shame, because it is shameful.

And the Son of God died: it is wholly credible, because it is unsound.

And, buried, He rose again: it is certain, because it is impossible.”

Here, the contradiction is religious; only God can contradict himself, the absurd is allowed only to God; we mere mortals are bound by the rules of nature and the rules of logic. The only exemption is that through profound religious experience we can transcend the rules of logic and believe the absurd, hence “It is certain, because it is impossible.”

Does doublethink have a religious dimension then? Has the person who believes two contradictory statements at the same time in some way transcended reason, and entered into a religious dimension? Or has he simply lost his mind?

What Democrats Think of Conservatives

 These people don’t believe that human life is sacred, that objective morality is real, or that conservatives and Christians are people. 

Not fully, in the sense that we actually matter, the way abortionists, illegals, violent felons, tech gurus, Yalies and celebrities have lives that matter. We’re like Neanderthals, an obsolete rival species that needs to disappear.
