Dealing with the Bullies of the Political Left: What happens after the election

Probably the biggest thing that everyone is concerned with after this November 5th election of President Trump is what will happen after.  Let’s face it: Democrats are the party of bullies and criminals, and to hide their intentions from the public, they resort most of the time to violence. And that is what people ultimately are afraid of.  So, they elected President Trump to return to the White House.  What happens then?  How do we deal with the radical left and the violence that is part of their interaction with the world?  Well, that just so happens to be my specialty.  As an adult now, I have the unique position of being in a lot of violent fights and coming out well in all of them.  That includes my childhood, which was unusually violent even though I grew up locally in Butler County, Ohio, and went to a good school.  I have always been uncompromising toward evil, so conflict was bound to happen.  For instance, when I was in the first grade, there was a really nasty bully that everyone was afraid of.  And he wanted to fight me right in the middle of class in front of everyone.  He was a big, scary kid who beat up everybody.  And I wasn’t very big at all at the time.  So I knew a fight with him would be tough.  So, as we started the fight, I poked him in the eye with my scissors, and it was a mess.  I got into a lot of trouble, of course.  But it was worth it because I gained something far more valuable: a reputation.  And that reputation would last the rest of my days in school, even up to the present.  When I fought with someone, the people involved often got badly hurt. 

When I was in the 6th grade, there were many fights between these, however, some of these show a pattern of behavior throughout my life; I got into a big fight with a kid much bigger than me right in the hallway in front of the principal’s office.  Most of the school was watching the fight because it was near the locker area right in front of the school in the morning while everyone was arriving.  So they formed a big circle and were watching, so I knew I had to make it good.   It wasn’t going well for the kid, so I needed to do something really dramatic to make sure I made a point. I pushed the kid through the principal’s office doors so hard that he fell into the doorway, and a few teacher assistants were residing there and being knocked away like bowling pins.  I followed it up by rushing him as he was getting up, colliding with him, which forced him backward even further and into the principal’s office where the guy was sitting at his desk.  I figured I was already in trouble, so I made it count.  I got into a lot of trouble, but again, my reputation bloomed as almost everyone in the school had witnessed or heard about it immediately.  It was worth the trouble I got into as a result.  Let me say that.  One thing you learn in these kinds of fights is that fewer people build up the courage to fight you because they know they are going to get hurt.  I was never a bully, but I had a policy not to take any crap from anybody over anything.  And that provoked people who like to give out crap, to try and make a trophy out of me, leaving many of them hurt in destructive ways and certainly damaged for life.  It’s gone forever once you lose a reputation, as with most things.

When I was a junior in high school, there was a group of bullies and a series of conflicts ensued through the winter that year with three of them, and it started over a girl.  I was always a sucker for helping girls when bullies pushed them around.  A trend that is as current as yesterday.  I still do this kind of thing a lot.  But then it was a matter of cafeteria warfare, and it got so bad that during one of these engagements, I punched a hard plastic plate that immediately cut my hand open in several places and exposed my bone and ligaments in front of the entire lunchroom.  Knowing I was severely hurt, I made the most of it and stayed calm even though my bones were sticking out of my hand.  I made a point to continue eating my food even with blood pouring out, taking my time to get to the nurse.  I had to be rushed to the hospital to have emergency plastic surgery because my hand was cut up badly.  It took a few months to heal, but the moment I could close my fist, I agreed to meet three of these guys at the Screaming Bridge, a local haunted spot in Liberty Township back then, for a fight.  And it was going to be a big one.  My friends were going to go and watch me fight these three guys who showed up to the fight location early to set booby traps they intended to push me into.  This was confirmed later in court when all this blew up into a significant headline, as the evidence of their intentions was nothing short of murderous. 

Fortunately for me, and this is why I can confirm Providence as a hidden hand that often shows up when you least expect it; I was with the police when one of those kids was shot and killed by a friend of mine after a car chase.   My reputation being what it was, I was not at the fight when it was supposed to start, and these kids I was supposed to meet told my friends that they had already thrown me down the hill into a series of booby traps they had set there, which frightened my friends because they couldn’t believe it.  So they gunned those kids down and chased them down the road, and a bullet hit one of the provocateurs, killing him.  Of course, the whole school knew I was supposed to fight those kids that night, and the story was all over the news.  So, I was the prime suspect.  But as it occurred, the police had apprehended me for another event that happened the weekend before, so they were questioning me at the exact moment on a Saturday night in late February 1985.  The point of all this is that, yes, I have a lot of experience dealing with bullies and violence.  And I enjoy these engagements.  I have had more guns pointed at me directly over the years than most police officers experience over their entire careers.  Most of the people I knew from back then didn’t make it very far into adulthood, and some had very violent deaths.  But I can say that I’ve seen enough of that behavior to know what will happen after this election. The Democrat bullies are out of gas and are beaten.  Do not be afraid of them.  They are defeated people, and their past has caught up with them.  And you don’t have to take any crap from them.  They are not scary or more powerful and can easily be beaten.  So don’t worry about what they will do after Trump wins the election.  They have only one play in the playbook and that is to bully people into submission.  But if you don’t submit, they don’t know what to do, and based on my experience, they don’t have what it takes to push people around, especially when they are losing as they are now politically.  There is only one path for them, and victory is not it.  And having the ability to bully people around, they have lost forever.  All you have to do is stand up to them.  God will take care of the rest. I’ve seen it all my life, and it happens like clockwork.  So don’t yield to the bullies from the radical left.  Stand up to them and expose them in ways they are unprepared to fight because they can’t.  Be like Joshua when he led the Israelites into Canaan.  God will take care of you if you fight in his name and do what’s right even when it seems scary and unwinnable.

Don’t Hide Behind the Robes of Jesus: God wants us all to fight evil, and to destroy it

I understand biblical scripture regarding fighting evil and going to war with the villains of God’s pantheon.  God says often in the Bible, through human interpreters, of course, but he expects people representing him on earth to fight for Heaven even when the odds look horrendous.  God spends much of the Bible angry at his chosen people who doubt him, waver away from the task, and do not conquer on his behalf.  As I say that, I think of the great prophet Elijah who fought in a dual the high priests of Baal, and at the end of the fight, goodness massacred the vile characters in a bloodbath.  God was not disappointed.  And, of course, we all know what happened to Jezebel.  She was eaten by dogs, torn from limb to limb for her commitment to worshiping Baal and steering Ahab down the dark ways of idol worship.  Remember the spies who were to take Israel into the promised land of Canaan but hesitated because they saw giants there and doubted that they could conquer such ominous villains?  God punished Israel with another generation to wander in the desert wilderness until younger people would trust him and do as he said, to attack and destroy every breathing creature of the Baal cult worshiping pagan losers of Canaan, utterly and without forgiveness.  God would protect them if they only did the task.    I have been through enough in my life to know that even when it looks hopeless, when you do the right thing, God does have a way of rewarding you.  I understand the lessons of King David, who had his faults.  When he sent Bathsheba’s husband away to war so he could seduce her, God was not happy. His favorite king had killed a rival for his affections even though David had a whole wine list of other wives and concubines to sleep with.  David had killed an innocent man to sleep with his wife.  Yet God still blessed David because he had conquered evil on behalf of the kingdom of Heaven, so God gave David the benefit of doubt. 

Yet I have often heard from various church leaders and other religious personalities who think they know better than God what should be happening in this current time, where evil is spreading rapidly, like weeds in a garden untended to, which is choking off goodness purposely.  And they are hiding behind the name of Jesus and using peace and a poor understanding of scripture to justify a lack of action.  They say on Sundays that the church should stay out of politics and not pick sides in the presidential election between Trump and Biden.  And that the purpose of religious study is to concentrate on the life ever after.  And not to engage and fight for what’s right.  Our focus should be on the afterlife.  That this life is corrupt and that we should not pursue material things, then to surrender ourselves to God and the gates of Heaven.  When we all get to Heaven, if God wants to be mad at me for the things I have done to bad people, I’m cool with it.  Because I don’t think God will be all that mad at me.  I expect more than a participation trophy from God.  What those Church leaders are essentially doing when talking about how to fight evil in our own time is surrendering before the fight even starts, and they are hiding behind Jesus as their justification, much the way the Israelites did under Moses when the spies returned to report on the giants who held the promised land, much to the frustration of God. 

God can forgive them. I won’t. Call me a sinner, I’m good with it.

What people who are cowards do when they don’t want to act is hidden behind something they think people don’t understand, like scripture; even though many people attend church on Sunday and profess to love and worship God, they never read the Bible.  In that case, your priest or pastor on Sunday becomes just as worthless as the average lawyer who does the same with our Constitutions and assumes that the people they are talking to haven’t read the text for themselves, leaving it to the corrupt to interpret the meaning.  To mask their cowardness, they hide their lack of inaction behind scripture and say that God wants them to surrender to evil to forgive their enemies instead of defeating them in bloody violence to fight to make Earth as it is in Heaven.  All this forgiving and forgetting stuff is for the birds.  Evil in whatever form it presents itself must be punished.  And yes, God will have your back if you fight for righteousness.  God needs humans to do his work, and when they refuse to do it because they are timid and don’t trust that God will be there when required, it makes God furious.  The Bible captures that frustration quite well and makes that religious document unique among others in the world.  God wants evil conquered and punished, not forgiven.  And to answer how I could know such a thing, I know from experience.  The purpose of evil, as God made it, was to test humans and to draw from them the character necessary for Heaven.  And to fight on behalf of Heavenly objectives as they relate to the universe.  Did you think you were born to bow at a cross and make a few gestures with your hands across your chest just to prepare to die?  No, God wants you to fight, and he is judging your character with every breath you take. 

I have been talking about religion more lately because many people think these are the end of times, that evil is making its push for global domination at the expense of us all.  And I keep hearing from these religious leaders who are scared that they need to follow in the ways of Jesus and allow themselves to be hung on a cross and killed as a sacrifice to the powers of evil.  But that was never the point of the Bible; God wants people to fight for goodness and justice on his behalf.  In politics, in our families, communities, everywhere.  When we see evil, God expects all those granted with the gift of life to fight on his behalf.  Because he is elsewhere doing what God does.  We are here on earth, and it is our task, until we take our ambitions into space, to fight evil, just as we were to do so in the land of Canaan.  And to fight against Baal and all his minions.  When Elijah won his duel, they didn’t sit around and share a coffee with the priest of Baal and talk about co-existing with them.  They killed the priests and slaughtered them ruthlessly.  And justifiably.  Fighting for God did not mean peaceful misunderstandings.  And for those who lack courage in this life, nothing makes God more unhappy than power-puff patriots and wishy-washy losers who hide behind the Bible and Jesus, hoping that nobody has studied the scripture and knows what it says about evil and the need to fight it.  In times like this, we should all take a page from the antics of the great Elijah and conduct our lives similarly.
