Are we letting a 3rd party decide what we believe?

After a few comments I received this morning I started thinking; are we letting the left, the 3rd party, decide what we the gun carrying and self defense community decide what is right for us and what is wrong for us?

Before some wing nut dives off the deep end, I’m not saying there should be an open season and to kill everything in sight. I’m about how Christians let the narrative be set by the left about what we believe as Christian’s believe. Look where that has gotten Christians. We where expelled from schools, can’t have any Christian art work or symbols in a public place and we had our sacred beliefs twisted to where the almost the entire world thinks we believe contrary to what is written. It has taken Christians 60-70 years to begin to turn it around. Do we want that to happen to us? It’s a fight there’s no mistaking it. We either live free or become slaves to another ideology.

My belief is this country tried to please all that came here and got away from what it was founded on and by. We need to get back to the basics of this country, welcoming immigrants who come legally fine allowing them to practice their religion fine but we don’t have to change or curb our own beliefs. God, Guns and Guts along with the constitution made this country and all 3 need to stay strong. Start with voting out any politician local or federal that won’t support all 3.

My grandfather came over from Italy and followed all the rules and laws and asked for nothing. He said work hard remember where you came from but learn and live the American way and he did until the day he died. At home it was like being in Italy out of the home different story .

I’m not talking about immigration. I’m talking about what we the gun community believe what is right for us. In the 1950-70 Christians let the left dominant the narrative and we lost a massive amount of ground to the left and what they think should be the narrative. The left didn’t care that what they were saying was a lie about our beliefs. The won the narrative and kicked Christ out of all levels of school and inserted communism. The left said: aren’t you supposed to love everyone? But nobody came back with scripture that said stand your ground. They were as meek as a mouse and ran back into their holes.

I don’t want that to happen to the gun community.

I believe the best we can do is set a good example and not let our emotions control us.

I think we are. First they label us, Red Neck, Violent, White Supremist, gun lovers… Then they get the compliant multi medias to echo chamber it. Next is sensationalism, every shot fired is a national tragedy (what about the children). Followed by the specific targets, that violent looking black thing that gets used in war and that evil elderly white woman that was afraid of the kind and gentle group trying to break down here door. Once they get there it’s get elected and pass laws…

By labeling they are using the laws that THEY wrote and passed to persecute law abiding citizens stating that they are actually homegrown extremist/terrorist.

What ever happened to sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me? They can only do that if we let them. I think we need more faith that there are still honest loyal Americans left.

Just remember that they are calling Christians terrorists and the Bible hate speech. When they put these names to policy then names do matter. How about Walz signing a bill that denies Christians and other faiths the ability to apply for and get a teaching credential in his state. This tactic has been at the forefront for just about every dictator. You need to label someone or something the enemy, lie enough to get the people to follow, call them haters, then get the people to cheer them on as they pack them into cattle cars. If you call the Soro’s and the deep state elites the 3rd party you’re right. Remember, the Bible says in the last days, right will become wrong, wrong will be right. I could go on but I think you know where I’m coming from.

I have read your post… sadly I’m thinkin some folks simply do not understand how psych stuff works…

if you remain silent it is consider agreement/consent…

so you MUST say things or you are agreeing to what they are doing…

if you let them control the narrative and just sit back and say I am doing right… I have done no wrong…

they WILL do all they can plus everything possible to make you WRONG!!!

perception is too often key… in too many cases it is all that matters to some people…

far to many people fully believe if you are perceived as wrong or evil then you are wrong or evil…

realty or truth does not matter to these type of people… what they are told is…

they see truth where there is a lie… because they BELIEVE in the MSM narrative…

so sit back and say I’m fine and did nothing wrong… and remain silent and nice… and lose everything…

or speak up and object and let your voice be heard and MAYBE you will survive…

the MSM is against you and all of us… they have too much power and are controlled by too few people…

Sadly I agree. That is the way the world is. I am not of this world, I am of God’s World.

I’m not letting any party decide what I believe. I will not be told what to think. I will be persuaded by logic and reason only.

We’re slaves already to another ideology.

We pay their way. Full stop. Your tax money (which most taxpayers brag about paying for some reason I have never been able to understand) keeps all these Leftists and Neocon nutjobs in beautiful homes, driving or being driven around in beautiful cars and airplanes, eating in the best cafes and educating their children–ALL FREE for them (they don’t pay taxes).

The fruits of your labor going directly to your enemy in cash payments, housing, perks, transportation, food–everything. For some, their entire lives. Some call them our “elected officials”, some our “public servants” and their kids families and hangers on. I call them parasites. And you should, too.

Tax slavery. Media slavery. Surveillance State. Police State. Is what we’ve become.

The Uniparty. The parasite class of our time. What a joke.

We deserve better.

It’s hard trying to be free.

well… hmmm… can you show me a verse where it says you are to sit back and do nothing…

not show your light??? not object to evil or wrong??? not take a stand???

not reach out to others with the truth???

yes the Boss is in control… however… did it ever occur to some…

we are being evaluated by what we do or don’t do???

does it not say we are to bare witness and speak truth???

by standing up for and speaking out … or sitting and ignoring and keeping quite???

wondering how such would, or will be viewed???

hmm… isn’t there a message to a church about being hot, lukewarm, or cold???

please advise…

Nothing that fits into context. Trust in God is the only thing I can come up with. I am sure the Book of Psalms would have something to say. Nothing comes to mind. Maybe Deuteronomy. Something about not being lukewarm. Don’t see how it applies.

“Do nothing.” Now, you’re talkin’. I had a paragraph in my post dedicated to a strike of some kind but did edit the piece out.

But I see you’re on track, as I was. Great minds think alike.

Nothing sounds good. We shall stop supporting them and heave them off by virtue of their sudden poverty.

I did kinda sorta the “Atlas Shrugged” style protest. As you can see, I’m still on the power grid, so I haven’t headed for the far hills just yet.

I will admit that I am a simple plain old, disabled white guy who is a Christian and a patriot. And, I do sure get tired of being called disposable trash by the lefty elites. I worked hard all of my life. I have voted in every election, I paid my taxes and all of the rest. And now I am an oppressor somehow. I don’t get it. But I know I am tired of being society’s dregs. And every other commercial that makes a man look like a goof. Like every old guy, I sure can remember much better times than this. But, I get up everyday and just pray for this country. Then I set to work. I have hope that one day more people will realize what a gift this country has been and get back to a better ethic.
