As Abe Lincoln Said, "I Can't Spare This Man, He Fights!"

To all my Friends and Family in Alabama, and to all my Friends around the world - recently a Christian Friend responded to a Friends Ministry eNewsletter asking that I not send her anymore newsletters which have any political content.  And while the vast majority of my blogs and eNewsletters are apologetic and doctrinal, it is very difficult to leave out all political comments for two reasons:  First, due to the way my internet provider censors e-mails I have had to organize my mail list in a manner that makes it difficult to selectively pull a person's address from the full mailing. 

And, second, while God, in the Bible, does tell us in Romans 13:1 that we should:  "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God" - the Bible does not tell us that we should turn a blind eye toward evil sometimes perpetrated by those leaders.  Nor that we should not do what we can to encourage and help those leaders do what is honorable and right in God's eye.

In the soon-to-be-decided election campaign for the next United States Senator from Alabama, the Liberal Left has pulled out all the stops.  Just as they attacked, and are still attacking, President Donald Trump - they are using the same back-alley, gutter tactics against the man most qualified to be the next Senator from Alabama, Judge Roy Moore.

They have brought out 40-year old, suddenly remembered claims of immoral acts supposedly committed by Roy Moore; and they have tried to blacken his character because he took a positive, moral stand for the Ten Commandments and against Same-Sex Marriage and the Gay Agenda.  Yet, throughout, Roy Moore has maintained his conservative dignity, statesmanship, and propriety - and his honor - and will be the next Senator from Alabama.  For we Alabamians respect such a man.

That said, today I received an e-mail containing a great article posted on TownHall-dot-Com responding to the Liberal Left's slanderous attacks against the best president we have had in many years, President Donald Trump. Some have wrongly attributed the article to Dr. Marshall Kamena, a registered Democrat and the elected mayor of Livermore, California.  But this article was written by Evan Sayet.  Below are key excerpts from that article.  I highly recommend you read the full article.

HE FIGHTS

(Evan Sayet is the author of "The KinderGarden of Eden: How The Modern Liberal Thinks."  His lecture to the Heritage Foundation on this same topic remains, some ten years later, by far the single most viewed lecture in their history.)  

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum.  They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”   Here’s my answer:

We Right-thinking people have tried dignity.  There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. 

We tried statesmanship.  Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain? 

We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?  And the results were always the same.

This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality, and propriety - the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob. .  .  .  .

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s.   To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.  It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery, and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war.  While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way - the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality, and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end.  Donald Trump is America’s first wartime president in the Culture War. .  .  .  .

Trump is fighting.  And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”   That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics.

That book is Saul Alinsky’s "Rules for Radicals" – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.   It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. .  .  .  .

Bill Gray Note:  Quote from the Liberal Left's playbook, written by Saul Alinsky:  “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins - or which is which) - the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom - Lucifer.”  (Saul D. Alinsky, Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals)

So, to my friends on the Left – and the NeverTrumpers as well - do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”?

Of course I do.   These aren’t those times.  This is war.  And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.

So, say anything you want about this president (Donald Trump) – I get it, he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times.  I don’t care.  I can’t spare this man.  He fights.

To my Alabama Friends and Family I urge you to stand tall alongside Roy Moore, our next Senator from Alabama.  To all my Friends, I urge you to be aware that for many years in America, the battle between the Liberal Left and the Conservative Right has not been a fair fight.  The Liberal Left fights using the tactics created by their role model, SaulAlinsky.  And, in turn his role models seems to have been Karl Marx, Lucifer, and other communist and socialist leaders.

So, please join me in standing with President Donald Trump and with soon-to-be Senator Roy Moore - and let's Make America Great Again.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
