We’re All Confederates Now (At Least In Their Minds)
by Fr. Andrew
They’ve already manipulated the Biblical, constitutional, legal and dictionary definition of
marriage, along with redefining the meanings of truth, tolerance, freedom, equality, gay &
others. But the next target is to redefine the American flag as hate speech. Some people are
already doing this, even a few politicians. Of course, the first step is to ban the Confederate flag,
calling it racist. Once that goes, the American flag will be next to ban as racist. We’ll also see
the Church or Cross banned as racist hate speech too, which a few judges have already ruled,
since the Bible calls homosexuality sinful. Sin is meaningless as well.
Most people don’t know or don’t fully grasp how many Americans and Europeans think that
traditional-minded people are a greater evil to mankind than Muslim Fascists & Marxists. They
get away with this by redefining tradition as Nazism, Racism, selfishness, etc. But the word
“Nazi” means National Socialism & it acted like Socialism. Nationalism itself was mostly enacted
by socialistic cults to make a herd mentality.
Redefining words turns good into evil & evil into good, which the Prophet Isaiah condemned.
This is why we get a philosophy of hating America, which began in the late 1800’s. This is
because in the Constitution, God in some sense is the source of our ethics, not man’s will to
power by a group mentality.
America’s Founders, like all like-minded people throughout history, asserted that human
nature has been the same all over the world since Adam & Eve. So there is no way to control or
regulate it in the long-term. But opponents of this think that human nature can somehow be
altered & perfected by social planners. Due to a philosopher in the late 1800’s, national politics
has top priority to change human nature, so that what is political is deemed to be righteously
better than what is natural. It is believed to be the best answer to all our problems, to beat
poverty, to enrich everyone, to improve morality, and to dispense compassion and love, not the
Church, family, locality or little guy. Everything must submit, even marriage.
The herd mentality is therefore whatever de-humanizes on a mass scale. This is why its
followers are so obsessed with equality, since their meaning of equality is conformity and
sameness. Loving people power, saving the planet & seeking the common good are classic
signs of this ideal. So we are told that our rights come from politicians, not from God, that
homosexuality is a sacred right, all citizens must tolerate abortion, traditional rights must be
regulated, etc. Those who deviate from such moral definitions suffer the political correctness
(McCarthyism) of extra taxes or fines. A witch hunt against any inequality is a fountain of money
for government agencies for equality & compassion. Anyone who de-centralizes, or simply
wants honest reform of the agency’s spending & moral results, is viewed to be more evil than
terrorism & genocide.
But be of good cheer, Jesus says, He has conquered the world. The Bible teaches us to
always rejoice & be thankful, to always have Christ’s peace. Those who redefine words and
symbols, icons & flags, have no joy, no peace, no contentment & no gratitude, only agitation,
fear, doom and gloom. No matter how many victories they achieve in manufacturing human
rights out of a new-age void, the spirit of crisis after crisis, if real or imaginary, enslaves them.
They have no traditional faith in the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ & of the Holy Spirit in the
Apostolic Church. And this too they imagine to be linked to the Confederacy. In their group
mentality, all things outside the organized herd are bigoted rebels who wave an evil flag. I guess
that makes us all Confederates now. Glory to God in all things!
