The Illgoical Thinking is Taking Over

So we are going to rewrite history because we do not like what has happened in the past.  Those men and women whom we have revered we come to find out were not as perfect as we thought they were.  So it is decided that we just need to scrub history to make it more appealing for our day.  Let me cite another case in point.  The article can be found at www,ctpost.com/news/article/Democrats-drop-Thomas-Jefferson-and-Andrew-Jackson-6400.   The article was written by Neil Vigdor.  Under pressure from the NAACP, the Connecticut state Democratic Party "will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.  Party leaders voted unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last month's fatal shooting of nine worshipers at a historic black church in Charleston, SC. ... Democrats cited Jefferson and Jackson's ownership of slaves as a key factor in the decision, as well as Jackson's role in the removal of Native Americans from the southeastern U.S. in what was known as the Trail of Tears."  Nick Balletto, the Democratic party chair, said Jefferson was a great founding father, but had some issues.  "You can't change history, but you don't have to honor it," Balletto said.

I have had just about enough of this attempt of purging from history anything that might offend someone.  History is not perfect because history was made by imperfect people.  Yes, there were wrongs done.  But to scrub history of those wrongs and pretend that they never happened does not change history.  So Jefferson and Jackson are no longer champions of the Democratic party because they were slave holders.  How about George Washington - he was also a slave owner?  So, does Mount Rushmore get blasted into pieces because Washington and Jefferson are profiled there?  After all, their presence might create an offense to someone?  If that is the case, perhaps we need to scrub our money.  New nickels - after all, Jefferson has to go.  New quarters and dollar bills - after all, Washington has to go.  How about new half dollars - after all, some of us were offended by the immorality of JFK while he was in office.  In fact, while we are at it, perhaps Washington DC needs to be renamed.  Are you getting an idea of how senseless this cause is.  Friends, don't scrub history away - learn from its mistakes and successes. 

I also read an article that can be found at www.wnd.com/2015/07/house-slams-door-on-sanctuary-cities-Obama-vows-veto. According to Representative Steve King IR-IA), in 2011 25,000 criminal aliens had been arrested in the U.S. and released.  "So how many crimes committed?  I did the math, and it's 48,000," he said.  King went on, '"So the revelation is breathtaking in this nation all because we refuse to enforce the law.  And this Congress saw it coming,  I saw it 10 years ago.  All because of politics, they're pandering to people they know are law breakers..  This was 100 percent preventable."  This past Thursday, the House voted 241-179 to withhold certain federal law enforcement grants to cities that have policies designed to shelter illegal immigrants from deportation.  "The White House vowed Thursday to veto any bill that punishes sanctuary cities, and called instead for Congress to legalize illegal immigrants as the way to solve the problem of criminals who shouldn't be on the streets,"  Friends, think about that last statement.  The way to resolve the problem of illegals committing serious crimes is to grant them a path toward being legalized in this country.  So, a piece of paper in the hands of an illegal criminal suddenly causes him to cast aside his life of crime?  If you believe that, then you own some ocean-front property in the great state of Iowa.  Here is what the humanistic-secularist worldview refuses to understand: the heart of the problem of man is a problem of the heart.  It is not a problem with regard environment.  It is not a problem with regard to education.  It is not a problem with regard to being legal or illegal.  It is a problem of sin.  Government cannot solve the sin problem.  Sanctuary cities cannot solve the sin problem.  The EPA cannot solve the sin problem.  Only Jesus can solve the sin problem.  But, of course, humanists and secularists do not recognize a God.  Their only goal is to create the perfect world for the perfect man who resides within each one of us. 

Friends, we do live in a very convoluted world.  Its thinking is totally upside down,  Right thinking is now wrong thinking.  Wrong thinking is now right thinking.  The logical has now become the illogical.  The illogical has now become the logical.  To be sure - without Jesus, life is one big mess and getting messier.  I am glad I am anchored on the Rock.  I trust you are also.
