Cloward, Piven and the Fundamental Transformation of America - Glenn Beck - FOXNews.com

Another link to check out. Please read this in conjunction with the previous post. They are really one and the same.

If you have the chance, check out all of last week (Jan. 4-8, 2010) Glen Beck on Fox News. Then research yourself. Don't necessarily take for gospel what any one says in these days as we deal with politics.

Please do not make the mistake, if you are a Christian, to think these things are "unbelief", or "...speaking evil of dignitaries...". Understand it is their actions that are speaking, not our judgments. And it is true Jesus is coming back, probably sooner than later, but this does not undue our responsibility for stewardship! We have been given responsibility to pray that righteousness reign in our nation. Are we not also told we know a tree by it's fruit? A reporting of 'fruit' is in no way an indictment for or against, it's just...well... reporting fruit.

Stewardship is the principle of understanding that we have responsibility to care for what we have been entrusted in. This nation has been entrusted to us by God first, but also our founding fathers. They had a vision of liberty and justice, and through the following generations, proved generally anyway, they were right.

My son was talking to me the other day. He was saying that many in his class are admiring socialism. One of his peers brags about how much he admires Karl Marx.
I told him there really is only one thing he had to do. Take a period of time, say one to two hundred years, and compare what one philosophy produced, compared to another. Then judge.

In the two hundred years of development of the American system, we became the most prosperous nation on the planet, influenced more for the purposed of liberty and justice, and had individual prosperity as citizens that became the envy of the world. Our people were generally very learned, and were taught that right is actually right, not something relative that depended on the situational ethics of the times. We were taught that hard work, faithfulness, sacrifice, and a personal faith that held one accountable to One that was greater...paid great dividends if given the time. The greatness of our nation and the fruit speaks for itself.

Compare that to a section of time that allowed the Marxist philosophy to grow and produce its fruit. The Marxist philosophy produced Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Po Pot... Stalin alone was responsible for up to fifty million deaths through his idea of purging civilization. Millions died after we left Vietnam and Communism entered. Many murders were committed in the name of the state...teachers, business owners...education was deemed an enemy and ignorance a friend. It was believed that the educated would see socialism for what it is and try to remove it. And we know all about how great China is in the human rights department.

We have had time to watch these two differing philosophies grow and produce its own fruit. That of personal responsibility and prosperity through capitalism, yes, capitalism... and the false idea of socialism that the government has more ability to take care of it's people than the individual.

Yes, let's pray. Let's also be responsible for ourselves...our family...our nation.
