Cultural Revolution - Part XV
Country Without God
|
Well-known German philosopher and one of the teachers to many of the world’s leading communist revolutionaries, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, said of Christianity, “I condemn Christianity; I bring against the Christian Church the most terrible of all accusations that an accuser has ever had in his mouth. It is, to me, the greatest of all imaginable corruptions; it seeks to work the ultimate corruption, the worse possible corruption. The Christian Church has left nothing untouched by its depravity it has turned…every integrity into baseness of soul.”1
ABOLISH CHRISTIANITY
Historically, Christianity was criticized by many well-known thinkers and philosophers such as Voltaire, David Hume, Thomas Paine and the Baron d’Holbach. Although America’s Founding Fathers strongly advocated and referenced Judeo-Christian principles in our founding documents, through subtlety, Marxist-thinking progressives sought to gradually remove our Christian heritage and replace it with communist principles. Organizations were created with the sole intention of eradicating Christianity and its influence from American society. Roger Baldwin and Crystal Eastman founded the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920 along with several other organizations dedicated to the most Leftist and progressive causes. In 1931, the U.S. Congress was alarmed by the ACLU’s devotion to communism. Congress investigated the ACLU and prepared a special report revealing that the ACLU was “closely affiliated with the communist movement in the United States, and fully 90 percent of its efforts were on behalf of communists who have come into conflict with the law.”2
The ACLU claims to stand for free speech, free press, and free assembly, but it is of concern to observe that a function of the ACLU may have been an attempt to protect the communists. Baldwin openly sought for the utter destruction of American society. Fifteen years after the founding of the ACLU, Baldwin boasted: “I joined. I don’t regret being a part of the Communist tactic, which increased the effectiveness of a good cause. I knew what I was doing. I was not an innocent liberal. I wanted what the Communists wanted.”3
Baldwin would also say, “I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.”4
CPUSA
Earl Browder, the general secretary of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) in the 1930s through the mid-1940s, ran twice for president of the United States. While leading the CPUSA, he directed the transformation of the CPUSA into a communist political association. The long-term objective of communism was to change American laws, but to do so, the communists had to remove the established foundations of society first. Through the concept of gradualism, they had cleverly leavened communist principles into every fabric of American life. Few today can distinguish communist principles from biblical principles.
As recently as 2012 the Democratic Party publicly and politically tried to dump God from its platform. In 2008 the Democratic platform declared, “We need a government that stands for the hopes, values, and interests of the working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.” In 2012, “God-given” was briefly taken out. The Democrats merely embraced, “The simple principle that hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent drives us.”5
After much criticism from conservative news and Republican politicians the Democrat camp tried to undo the damage as quickly as possible. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the Democratic Convention chairman, called on former Ohio governor Ted Strickland, who moved to suspend the rules in order to amend the platform to restore the former “God” and “Israel” language. This required two-thirds voice vote, but while Villaraigosa’s teleprompter read that the motion passed, the vote hall sounded like no such thing. So the mayor called for a re-vote. Again, no two-thirds. And another re-vote, which sounded the same.6 Finally Villaraigosa simply declared that the motion passed. Obama immediately had his advisories go on many news programs for damage control. Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, DNC Chairwomen Debbie Wasserman, and Newark Mayor Cory Booker gave Obama credit for the reversal and affirmed that America had a president who loved God.
CPUSA/ACLU/PLANNED PARENTHOOD
One of the more intriguing developments of many members of the CPUSA is their admiration of Margaret Sanger. ACLU co-founder Crystal Eastman, for example, held Planned Parenthood founder Sanger, in highest regard. According to Eastman, feminists must all be followers of Sanger.
Sanger was a passionate advocate of eugenics—the attempt to improve the human race through selective breeding. Sanger believed that abortion was a primary means of improving the human race. She taught that the most merciful thing a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it. Roger Baldwin was also a great admirer of Sanger. He heaped praise on Sanger, claiming that she was a frail, beautiful, unassuming woman while she always had a quiet insistence on the rightness of what she was doing. Sanger’s despicable influence still resonates throughout America today. Since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, estimates on the number of abortions performed range from sixty million to seventy million.
The ACLU fights for the most extreme of pro-abortion positions, including support for partial-birth abortion and opposition to parental consent for minors. The adoration of Sanger set the tone for the ACLU concerning the issue of abortion.
Baldwin and Eastman’s agenda included every facet of civil rights, as they saw it, including marriage. Recently, the ACLU has extended its defense to include LGBTQ issues: “Today, the ACLU brings more LGBTQ rights cases and advocacy initiatives than any other national organization does.”7
It is obvious to see the devastating effects that socialist and communist principles have had on the United States. The tearing down of the nuclear family unit, education, healthcare, religion, the economy, the media, the corporate world, and clearly in politics, are all symptoms of a nation that has turned its back on God. The only answer is repentance. It’s not too late for the bright and morning star, Jesus Christ, to arise again. He is life. Let us turn back to Him before it is too late.
