Excellent points.

We are just seeing the latest attempt by the left to gain power. Unfortunately they are trying to ride on the backs of minority Americans, without caring how much they damage their communities, or the relationships between people who happen to have different skin colors.

And that's why we just saw a white Antifa leftist punch a black conservative in the face. Its just a reprise of what Democrats have done since the civil war - attack and repress minorities in order to keep their power over them.

Thanks. I appreciate your comments.

A few years ago, I was re-reading Genisis and I noticed something. After creating Man, God gave him dominion over all living things, except for other men. I’m starting to re-think the term “power” to explain the Democrat party.

While I suspect that it is colloquial for “power over people”, we tend to absorb what is said over what is meant. We should all have power, so much power that we do not need dominion over our fellow men in order to succeed and prosper.

When we see people attempting to gain power over other people, we are seeing incompetence writ large. These are people who do not have enough talent, intelligence and strength of character to achieve their goals or ambitions. So they seek to subordinate others and wield the power of those people, who, left to themselves, would achieve much greater things.

Lately, that has been my primary and maybe sole benchmark for all legislation and governmental activity: Does this proposal give other men power over their fellows? If yes, it’s bad. If it serves others, then no, it’s ok.

From my studies of history, this one thing is at the source of most wars. People seeking dominance over others. With the founding of the USA, that whole paradigm was upended and the least among us have been seeking to restore it ever since.

No wonder the Democrat party is so anti-Christian.
