Sadly, many kids have been brought up in religion, not relationship with God. If we would get them firmly introduced and established IN Christ, then they won't be so easily shaken. Liberal professors can steal their theology, but not an actual relationship.

And maybe firebrand is right. Perhaps I am looking at it through the lenses of what I see here, but what I see is an entire generation of brainwashed millennials who's minds have been totally warped through the university system. They are all for creating a socialist utopia because capitalism is evil and oppressive.

Coupled with the Hollywood movie industry, social media, most of these kids not being trained in a Christian household and many coming from broken families.

I have to say, they have accomplished their goals pretty well.

At some point Israel had to split into 2 nations.

This has all been in the making for a very long time. The communist party of America has been around here since about 1901.

Ronald Reagan tried exposing communist influence in Hollywood when he was an actor there. I was thinking this morning that the assassination attempt on his life may have been because they didn't want him to continue that fight as POTUS?

The communist have implanted themselves in every aspect of our nation. Satan is behind them, and he comes to kill, steal and destroy. Look around!


Makes you wonder, was McArthy really off base, or was he onto something?

McCarthyism was a campaign led by Joseph McCarthy in search for Communist party members or supporters through the 1940s and 1950s. Along with the help of the House of Un-American Activities Committee ( HUAC ), and Roy Cohn, the three worked tirelessly to find and expose communists in the American community.

McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason, especially when related to communism, without any proper regard for evidence.[1] The term refers to U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) and has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting from the late 1940s through the 1950s.[2] It was characterized by heightened political repression and a campaign spreading fear of communist influence on American institutions and of espionage by Soviet agents.[2] After the mid-1950s, McCarthyism began to decline, mainly due to the gradual loss of public popularity and opposition from the U.S. Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren.[3][4] The Warren Court made a series of rulings that helped bring an end to McCarthyism.[5][6][7]

What would become known as the McCarthy era began before McCarthy's rise to national fame. Following the First Red Scare, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order in 1947 to screen federal employees for association with organizations deemed "totalitarian, fascist, communist, or subversive", or advocating "to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means." In 1949, a high-level State Department official was convicted of perjury in a case of espionage, and the Soviet Union tested an atomic bomb. The Korean War started the next year, raising tensions in the United States. In a speech in February 1950, McCarthy presented a list of alleged members of the Communist Party USA working in the State Department, which attracted press attention. McCarthyism was published for the first time in late March of that year in The Christian Science Monitor, and in a political cartoon by Herblock in The Washington Post. The term has since taken on a broader meaning, describing the excesses of similar efforts. In the early 21st century, the term is used more generally to describe reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, and demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries.

Maybe there is a reason they have worked so hard to discredit him and give that movement a bad name.

The more you read, the more bugs start coming out of the woodwork:

RINO alert!

Earl Warren (March 19, 1891 – July 9, 1974) was an American politician and jurist who served as Governor of California from 1943 to 1953 and Chief Justice of the United States from 1953 to 1969. The "Warren Court" presided over a major shift in American constitutional jurisprudence, which has been recognized by many as a "Constitutional Revolution" in the liberal direction, with Warren writing the majority opinions in landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Reynolds v. Sims (1964), Miranda v. Arizona (1966) and Loving v. Virginia (1967). Warren also led the Warren Commission, a presidential commission that investigated the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He is the last Chief Justice to have served in an elected office before entering the Supreme Court, and is generally considered to be one of the most influential Supreme Court justices and political leaders in the history of the United States.

This was a tract from back then. Maybe folks should have been paying attention?

President Trump was not alone in wanting to stamp out communist influence and control in America:

President Harry S. Truman's Executive Order 9835 of March 21, 1947, required that all federal civil-service employees be screened for "loyalty". The order said that one basis for determining disloyalty would be a finding of "membership in, affiliation with or sympathetic association" with any organization determined by the attorney general to be "totalitarian, fascist, communist or subversive" or advocating or approving the forceful denial of constitutional rights to other persons or seeking "to alter the form of Government of the United States by unconstitutional means."[

Maybe we need a new kind of "WOKE" in America!

McCarthy was elected to the Senate in 1946 and rose to prominence in 1950 when he claimed in a speech in Wheeling, West Virginia, that 57 communists had infiltrated the State Department, adding:

"One thing to remember in discussing the Communists in our government is that we are not dealing with spies who get thirty pieces of silver to steal the blueprints of a new weapon. We are dealing with a far more sinister type of activity because it permits the enemy to guide and shape our policy."

McCarthy's subsequent search for communists in the Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department, and elsewhere made him an incredibly polarizing figure. After McCarthy's reelection in 1952, he obtained the chairmanship of the Committee on Government Operations of the Senate and of its Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. For the next two years he was constantly in the spotlight, investigating various government departments and questioning innumerable witnesses about their suspected communist affiliations. Although he failed to make a plausible case against anyone, his colourful and cleverly presented accusations drove some persons out of their jobs and brought popular condemnation to others.

A good read:

Though we now think of McCarthy as one of the most hated men in American politics, even in 1954 he retained a passionate base of support, with about a third of the public backing his anti-communist campaign. Once the Senate voted against him, the tale of how he had been victimized by a corrupt and self-interested Washington establishment helped fuel the far right's grievance politics — and spark what would become the modern conservative movement. Far from bringing an end to McCarthyism, the 1954 Senate vote mainly pushed it out of Washington, and a new generation of right-wing activists took up his cause.

Absolutely! Satan is behind this. We battle not against flesh and blood, but there is an army of DEMONIZED folks out there trying to destroy a nation inspired by God Himself. Fast and pray! Take it one step further: Fast, pray and expose the works of darkness!
