Contributions and Sacrifices

From the very beginning of human language, sacrifice is one of the oldest words. In stark reality the meaning of this word comes from the Hebrew “minchah.” Synonyms of sacrifice can include: contribution, offering, apportion, bestow, and share. As religious connotations affords, it is those in offices of religious authority which asks, and at times, require members of religious organizations to contribute and sacrifice ones worth into a common pool to better the general good of the parental organization, be it religious or secular.  The religious usually fall into private spheres where the secular can also be private in its structure, but most understand these spheres as governmental institutions.

To sacrifice is not a matter of a human impulse. Instead what lies underneath this understanding, yet being unsaid, is the fact that sacrifice is directly related to rational calculation, and cunning manipulation. From the religious the aspects of sacrifice is more to an acute rendering of contribution, or a tithe, for the benefit of a god. From the secular sacrifice is more of a thought of delivering benefits to a king. The killing of human adults or children to false gods was mainly for the receiving of possible benefits from these gods, or to withhold harms; i.e., natural disasters.

In modern times these contributions and sacrifices are redefined into governmental issuances of taxes. The modern liberal progressive politician has the gall to be asking, as would a false god, thier constituents primarily, and secondary the citizenry, to sacrifice their hard earned wealth to appease the governmental gods. The truth of the matter is this rational calculation, the cunning manipulation, is the seeking to give governmental gods, and also to bribe the government gods, into delivering benefits, and withholding harms, is much the same rhetoric that spewed from ancient witch doctors that danced around bond fires and sacrificing adults and children.

Nothing changes, and everything changes.  It's the very personal individual who sees through this rhetoric.

Pontius Pilot and Truth

When mentally wrestling with the notion truth, some individuals cannot understand the inability of others not understanding truth.  Jesus was confronted with it in His time from the man of Pontius Pilot saying, "What is truth?"  Modern thought looks upon history with both tendencies of righteousness.  One individual may have the correct judgment, where another may have their own judgment, but from having the wrong attitude. So what, then, is truth?

With God having made humans, man and woman, the devil usurps this truth with something entirely different, subverting creation as God had made it.  Truth simply is what God did, and said, through creation.  As history evolved from creation to the time of Jesus, the Jewish authority in His time branded Jesus as being a false authority.  Not believing Jesus as being the Son of God is false; the opposite of truth.  Humans, through the time of history, perverted and diluted truth. The first humans new what truth was until the devil said "You CAN eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil," but as time moved on into the future with information being past along as history, false became truth, wrong became right, incorrect became correct.

The idea of truth has the same connotations when discussing the notion of truth in the cultures of America and Europe. Through history truth maintains being the same, but moves through human cultures and is diluted and changed into being false. Truth was in the cultures of the first humans, then time moved into the Roman empire era, then evolved into the 15th century.  Truth has now moved into the cultures of main continent of Europe; France, Germany, and England. When history evolved to the 18th century and beyond, truth moved with evolved cultures and now is found in the American culture. Yet when Europeans are confronted with truth, they act in the same manner as the Jews acted in Jesus’ time. The same goes for Muslims as well as modern liberals. Although these entities, and similar ideologies, never had truth, even though they believe through violent efforts, they insisted they are the ones holding truth.

Kings, Queens, Emperors, and Democrats

Modern America is experiencing an escalating negative political environment. The words “king”, “queen”, and “emperor” causes the mind to conjure a picture of superiority and sovereignty. The title of this article communicates the connection and correlating of these words to the political party of the Democrats. Their collective rhetoric eludes to this idea. After reading the book by Kenneth R. Timmerman entitled "Shadow Warriors," he documents with factual liberal behavior the mindset they are superior with their intellect and sovereign in their insistence that it is their natural action to use government power to install their sense of social justice.

As the book documents, it seems their belief system is evidence of a commitment level far beyond nationalism and loyalty to America as a country in need of defense against an abstract enemy. On the surface it looks as though they are carefree concerning the safety of American citizens. Their quick, almost defensive, response to accusations of traitorous actions some make against their adversaries, the Republicans and the person of President Bush, is rationalized as patriotic. Their continued efforts to redefine patriotism to cover their abhorrent rhetoric is growing old and needs to stop. The democratic party, and the members themselves, have to come clean with their corrosive and destructive actions and activities and accept the fact that they are anti-American, anti-freedom, and anti-individualists.
