Never Let Your Enemies Define You

Picture
Never let your enemies define you. When the whole world is your enemy, though, what are you going to do? That’s what conservatives are up against. The whole damn world is our enemy, even other alleged conservatives.

​I mean, Trump says that 2nd amendment supporters might have something to say about Hillary undermining their god-given, constitutional rights, which she has no legal authority to do, and the world goes mad. And let’s be clear, that is all that he said. But, with a media eagerly anticipating every word, every syllable that Trump utters, so they can pounce and expose him as a hate filled, hater of the hateful kind, any utterance can be construed to mean anything.

Here’s the secret; Clinton insiders are media insiders, buried deep like soviet moles throughout out the whole media infrastructure. Meaning, they can pick and choose what they deem to be important, always in favor of Hillary, of course. For instance, Hillary and Bill sell insider favors to brutal sheiks and potentates for tens of millions of dollars while Hillary was the secretary of state and the media says “Huh?” “What?” They barely mention it. 

Why? Because, Trump said something off the cuff, which if interpreted correctly, could mean “I love Satan.” Even if, what he really said was “I want to cut the capital gains tax. Because only Satan could be for that, from the media’s perspective.

I guess it’s a good thing that the wizened media are there to tell us what to think.

Now, in a world full of rebels, which is how most liberals see themselves, clinging to every word that fat cats in the trillion dollar, multinational media say, should cause a warning bell that rings long and loud. But no, in this instance, trillion dollar, multinational, corporate fat cats are good.
This couldn’t be a case of the lemmings all heading in the same direction as the lead lemming takes off for the cliff, could it? No. It is simply the universe honoring the righteous. If liberals have thought it through that far, which is unlikely.

The reality is much simpler. Getting at those nuggets of truth can be damned difficult. It requires that you do more than read your favorite internet sites and the occasional newspaper article. So, having a default position that leans a particular direction, require a lot less effort. You see, in the idyllic world inside our heads, there is no dissent. Likewise, if you choose your associations carefully, there will be little disagreement. That way we can rest assured that our rest, is the rest of the righteous. Just ask me, and I’ll tell you.

Jesus said that the path of the righteous is narrow. The path to destruction, by comparison, is wide. Wherever you see throngs of people traveling, you’d better get on the other road. Or, at the very least, begin to question what the hell you’re doing there.

Jesus also said that asking questions is the beginning of wisdom.

Need I say more? I don’ think s
