I know you wonder about it. It is so hard to believe. How do you explain this cultural phenomenon?
How can anyone look at what is going on in America today and not be offended? Yet not only are people not offended, they support the very politicians who are perpetrating this evil on us.
Let’s go back to September 1979. On November 4 of that year, Iranian revolutionaries seized the American embassy in Tehran. 52 hostages were taken and were held for 444 days. The president at the time, Jimmy Carter, ordered a rescue attempt that failed miserably. It was terrible. President Carter, a Democrat, was going to run for re-election. But not even fellow Democrats would support him. The media tried to prop him up, but this terrible thing had happened on Carter’s watch. The entire country felt humiliated. Marsha and I had a dog named Gunther, and I believe Gunther could have beaten the president. Ronald Reagan became the next president.
So, what has changed in the country that makes an even greater debacle no big deal? I think I have found the reason.
I get my news from various newsfeeds on the computer. I don’t watch TV news. An earnest face can affect your thinking. I prefer to read my news. I have two feeds that come up when I turn on my home computer. One feed is your typical liberal feed and the other is your typical conservative feed. I believe two sides to a story is necessary to make a proper judgement. On September 1, 2021 I took the top ten headlines, in order, on each feed and wrote them down. This was the news of that day.
Top ten news stories on liberal newsfeed
1.) Millions Swelter Without Power in Louisiana.
2.) Mormon Vaccine Push Rachets Up, Dividing the Faithful.
3.) Minnesota Family May be Trapped as Town Declares Their Access Road Doesn’t Exist.
4.) Married Couple’s DNA Test Shows an Uncomfortable Truth.
5.) Is Rural America Becoming a New Confederacy?
6.) Lobster Fishing Will Face Restrictions to Try to Save Whales.
7.) Black Man Executed in 1951 Rape Case Granted a Pardon.
8.) Cliff Diver Drowns After Jumping 125 Into the Lake of the Ozarks.
9.) Man, 60, Admits to Sexually Abusing Two Underage Granddaughters.
The sub-headline talks about his trial in a Singapore court. He and all his family live in Singapore.
10.) The 22-year-old MAGA Influencer Running Rudy Giuliani's Communications Team Has Been Replaced by a Former Hooter’s Spokesperson.
Just these headlines give the liberal person some vital information. Only one, the first, is actually news of national interest. #2 puts the idea of crazy Christians in the liberal mind. #3 tells of the hardship of a single family whose driveway is not maintained. #4, we assume, tells of a married couple who are actually blood related. #5 is no doubt an attack on rural America because those rural folks are conservatives. #6 would have to be related to environmental themes and probably eventually gets around to global warming. #7 pushes race to the forefront. #8 is just a sad and stupid thing. #9 tells of a sad thing in Singapore. #10 is your typical attack on conservatives. ONLY #1 IS ACTUALLY NEWS. This is what the typical liberal gets daily.

Top ten news stories on a conservative newsfeed
2.) Mother of Soldier Killed in Kabul Rips Biden: ‘Let me know how I can sleep'.
3.) Over 100 Men Stranded on Ship in Gulf, Rode Out Hurricane Ida's 80-Foot Swells.
4.) Monster Storm Leaves Grand Isle 'Uninhabitable,' says La. Parish Leader.
5.) AOC Slams Biden's Rahm Emanuel Nomination as 'Deeply Shameful'.
6.) Experts Warn Basic Freedoms at Stake in Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan: ‘That's the legacy that we've left’.
7.) Private Payrolls Rise by 374,000 in August, Sharply Missing Estimate.
8.) Stefanik and Daines Demand Pelosi, Schumer Advance Bill to Reopen Canadian Border as Biden Keeps it Closed.
9.) Texas School System Closes After 2 Teachers Die of COVID-19.
10.) 5 Missing, 1 Rescued Off of San Diego Coast After US Navy Helicopter Crash.
All ten of these headlines are news. Granted, they may have a conservative bias, but they are still news. All of the liberal stories have a liberal bias. But they aren’t news. Reading the conservative feed, the reader will come away with an understanding of the world situation. The person who gets their news from the liberal feed will come away feeling sorry for a family in Minnesota, angry at a perverted grandfather in Singapore and a desire to no longer eat lobster in order to save the whales.
Liberal ‘news’ and conservative news are different.
Does this apply anywhere else in our society? Well, sure. Just check out Christianity. (Some of you are rolling your eyes now and thinking ‘this was just getting good.’) I always say that if Christians started living like Christians, the evil would be crushed. Do you share the Gospel? Matthew 28:18-20 addresses that. Have you ceased to think of abortion as sin? Exodus 13:1-2 speaks to that. Is homosexuality just another form of love between two people? Leviticus 18 lists unlawful sexual encounters. Verse 22 condemns homosexuality. Proponents of homosexuality will tell you that there is no condemnation of the act in the New Testament, but Romans 1:18-32 shoots that down. And they will say that Jesus never said anything about it. However, if we believe the Bible is God’s Word and we believe that God and Jesus are one (as Jesus said), then the whole Bible is the Word of Jesus. And what about the Word? Has your Bible changed the actual wording to make it gender inclusive or fit some other niche? Many of you have Bibles that have been thusly polluted. Yet, Proverbs 30:5-6 talks of this. If we can accept one small bit of altering the Word, then we can soon accept it all.
All of these things came on gradually. Whether political or Biblical. It all goes back to Satan and it all involves Satan’s weakening the Spiritual moral code of the believer.
Personally, I believe the culmination of God’s time is upon us. How will we explain ourselves when we stand before the Lord?
