Hateful Democrats, A Derelict President, and Cops Beaten in the Streets – Is This Our Beloved America?
By Michael Bresciani February 2024 In the world of honest journal-
World, while the nation crumbles like a monolithic national monu- ment made of cheap plaster?
Even Hunter would have trouble selling that ignominious painting.
The most perplexing times and the most complicated problems
often have simple answers. Often it is only a matter of priorities. What is first in our lives, who or what is at the top of our thinking?
ism, two facts emerge every day. First, when a few Bible verses are quoted, or too much emphasis is placed on the right and wrong of a current event, it is tucked away in the “religious” cat- egory, never to be heard or seen again. The second, plunge into surrealism is the fact that now most Americans are discussing the lesser of two evils. The idea that one thing is solidly evil, but an- other is not quite so evil. No right and wrong, only shades of difference. This writer has never been offered $50K for some childish art piece like Hunter Biden, but I have
Here is one short answer.
Put Christ on the throne of your heart. Put a good President like Donald Trump back in the Oval Of- fice and put the love of America back in the hearts of our children. But, if we insist that there is no solution to any of our problems from the above stated remedy – then con- sider this...
When the inexplicable happens to us in the future,
on any scale — small or great, think of what Christ told one group of people who couldn’t ex- plain why such a bad thing hap- pened to good people.
produced a few pieces and studied art with great relish in my college days. The first thing we learn about color, shades and hues is that there are not any colors without primary colors. In the case of grays, which is considered a hue — not a color, there is also, no shade of gray without black and white. Society has pillars so it will not crumble like an old outhouse. The Bible, the Constitution and all State laws and statutes are not unreasonable restraints to take away the life or freedoms of a peo- ple. They are the mortar, the glue, by which each generation is guar- anteed a future. We are a picture of the greatest nation on earth, now being re- painted with no primary colors and no blacks and whites. It is hard to imagine something so ugly – or is it? Glance over the news stories of any reputable news outlet today, and you can see this hideous pic- ture of our nation emerging.
Are we calling on pop culture fig- ures, comedians, and the devil himself to save the nation? Some say we should beware that a woman who prances around in glittering underwear and sings about a whole lot of diddly, may single-handedly get Biden re- elected. Taylor Swift will be a pudgy middle-aged has-been, in short time. She will take her place among the forgotten, like Madonna or Lady Gaga, in only a few short years. Should we fear a pop culture icon, with no more political savvy than a fifth grader? Is there no dig- nity left in the American citizenry? Shall we go to the game and cheer, all while hoping for a glimpse of America’s latest pop-culture flash in the pan? Christ told us to have faith and, become like little children. We would rather throw faith in the trash bucket and remain com- pletely childish.
Once, the mention of the great cultural centers of London, New York, Paris and Rome would spark ideas of great accomplishments, great people, and legendary lead- ers. Today, we can hit an online search engine in in seconds see a video of high-ranking New York Police officers being beaten, kicked, and humiliated in front of those they are sworn to protect. The mob of cop-beaters are young foreigners who sought out our na- tion as a refuge from the oppres- sion of their own native birthplaces. They pass through NYC’s revolv- ing door legal system, and then re- turn to the streets making public gestures (the finger) to insult us, all of us, as they go. We look like fools because we are acting like fools. Or as one said, “stupid is as stupid does.” Don’t tuck these warnings away in the backwaters of collective na- tional obscurity, but take heed and then act.
Ponder it carefully, it does apply to us.
“There were present at that sea- son some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, ‘Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, ex- cept ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, ex- cept ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.’” (Luke 13:1-5). Learn this. There is no fickle fin- ger of fate, but there is a particular fate for the fickle.
Repent America.

Distortion of Love, Proliferation of Evil (Continued from Page 8)
Did not John the Baptist confront the evil of Herod? Did not Paul confront the evil of the silversmiths exploiting the people with their lit- tle silver shrines of Diana? Did he not confront the evil of Elymas? Did not the early church confront the evil of the colosseum? Did not Basil confront the evil of infanticide? Did not Amy Carmichael con- front the evil of child prostitution in the temples of India? Did not tens of thousands of Chris- tians confront the evil of abortion by interpos- ing at the doors of America’s deathcamps? No one is called by Scripture to love evil. The Scriptures call upon us to do the exact op- posite. We are to hate the evil. We are to resist the evil. Both by how we conduct our lives – and by proclamation of His law and Word with our mouths.
To say we should never resist evil becomes an evil in itself – as such teaching proliferates evil in the land. To say we should not resist evil is what is “unloving.” To say we should never resist evil becomes a treason against God and a betrayal of neighbor. Is it proper to, in the name of love, not resist evil to betray the weak to the wicked? To, in the name of love, not resist evil to expose someone else’s cheek to an attacker? To, in the name of love, not resist evil and allow wicked men to burn down churches, plant atheism, and destroy the nation? To, in the name of love, not resist evil but instead, stand by while children have their genitals mutilated and their minds corrupted? The truth is, it is precisely LOVE which com- pels us to resist evil. The two are not at odds
with one another as American Christianity and American society would have you believe. We understand that confronting and opposing evil are acts of love in themselves. Love for God and love for neighbor are pre- cisely what motivates and compels us to resist evil when it raises its ugly head. Our hatred for evil also compels us. We cannot sit by in indifference, blithely chalking it up to our prophesy charts or the sovereignty of God – all used wrongly to justify indifference. Rather, we are bothered when we see His law or Word being impugned by men or the governments of men. We must speak and we must act – and we can do no other. Do not allow yourself to be neutralized by this distortion of love by American society. Do not allow the churchmen and “Christians” of
American Christianity to lull you to indifference and complacency when evil is present and harming many. May Christ be praised.
