Gullible's Travels

               Just looking at the cover is disturbing.....Rise of the Fourth Reich....Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial, So this Never Happens Again. We are so gullible! To those who have read in these posts for a while....they would know that I had been....and remain so today....an admirer of Robert F. Kennedy. I'm not even going to guess my age at the time....but judging from where I lived it was mid-teens....and I went to the Turtle Creek Library and came home with RFK's....The Enemy Within....The McClellan Committee's Crusade against Jimmy Hoffa and Corrupt Labor Unions. Can you imagine a mid-teen immersed in this stuff. So he was my hero....and I respect his namesake....RFK Jr.....but his recent book dealing with.....(among other issues)....the subject of the coronavirus and Anthony Fauci....is the kind of book....well let me give you an example. I spent the first ten years of my Christian walk studying Christian apologetics....with an emphasis on 'Christian' cults....their history and their methods and their literature. I put an ad in the personal section of the newspaper for people who were being lured into these cults to call me....and give me an opportunity to warn them of what they were getting into. So consequently these type of books stick out to me and are easy to identify.
                Here are some blurbs from the pre-ordering description of the book...."Covid-19 was used to launch the worst tyranny in American history.....it was also the worst oppression in global history since the Third Reich. Just as that evil required a reckoning at Nuremberg, this one does as well." One might think that by highlighting this book that more people might read it. I really don't care about that because I don't see how we can get any lower.....intellectually....in our reading of politics.....and even Christianity. If you are thinking of buying a book with this a title like this....for other than research like myself....then you are probably already pretty far gone.
                I want to direct the second half of this short post to a trend in the Republican Party. The above mentioned Fourth Reich book is a part of it. Marjorie Taylor Greene somehow coming to the fore in the once proud Republican Party is part of it. The Ukraine is a very difficult challenge....but throwing them on the ash heap is not the answer....but it sure fits in well with America Only.  I've been a talk radio person since my youth....but what we have today is not talk radio as it has always been....even in the last years of Rush. I posted on the morning of Martin Luther King Jr. Day that I turned on Breitbart radio....and there was not even a mention of the day....but a 'special presentation'....a compilation of about nine or ten interviews from a recent Turning Point USA conference....a group....one of many....targeting conservative youth....not educating them on the very difficult issues of the day....but indoctrinating them....to go out and be soldiers. I wasn't quite off the Trump train yet in July of 2017 when President Trump gave his political speech to the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia. Had I taken a son to that jamboree....I would have pulled him out in front of everybody.
                 Folks....I lived this life for quite a while....that of a conservative. You listen to talk radio every chance that you get....in the car....Rush....Mark. You buy the latest book that is out. It's a little different today...for they sit in front of Tucker Carlson and get a full day's poison pills in an hour....and if your not zombied out enough.....there are podcasts all over the place. This is cult stuff....where you get your info from one source....and one source only.
                 We are being hardened today. Christians used to join a Bible study...today we saddle-up and join a posse. We used to evangelize. Today we recruit....especially the college student. We used to be....born again....today we are....born American. If there is a story anywhere out in America about a group of Black people in a brawl....Fox will find it and highlight on the frontpage of Foxnews.com. As bad as it was with Trump in the liberal news....it is twice as bad with Biden in our conservative news. Do they want him out? Really? President Kamala Harris? Or do they just want him to be a humiliated and disoriented....dealing with Putin and China....humiliated and disoriented....and pressured to shoot anything that moves? I'm sure if he then made a mistake that we then would give him a Mulligan.
