Crocodile tears My feet are almost back on the ground after a fan- tastic Trump victory. But as we watch the Liberal world soak their veggie burgers with crocodile tears, I just wanna bring a little calm into their world and maybe a little sanity. To the girl sobbing, swearing, and sinking into the depths of despair, while asking what went wrong…. please grab a tissue, and some Ativan….and listen. I will tell you what got you here. You’ve been duped (this means you’ve been tricked into believing something untrue). Please try to open your 22-year- old mind to the possibility that you have been wrong. Some people have a nefari- ous agenda to promote, and you have swallowed it all, hook, line, and sinker. So, to clear things up for you… here are some lies you’ve sadly embraced. 1) There is no real God, so you get to create your own. Your god has no requirements nor consequences…so you can behave as you please. 2) You get to create your own morals….so you don’t need any other moral law (mak- ing the Ten Commandments totally unnecessary and outdated). 3) There is no real truth, so you can make up your own and pretend it’s real. 4) Everyone who doesn’t pretend or agree with you is “intolerant” and full of hate speech. 5) Love and sex are the same thing. Marriage and the tradition- al family are obsolete. 6) Love means acceptance of all behavior (this applies to everyone but you). 7) Jews are all bad and need to be eliminated (from the river to the sea). 8) The government owes you and so does anyone who has more than you. 9) Guns are all dangerous and will kill at will. 10) Borders are all bad and inhuman. Only good people cross them. 11) Humans can “save the plan- et” (by eradicating humans) and Greta Thunberg is a climate expert. 12) Biology is just a suggestion. DNA, resident hormones, and ap- pendages mean nothing. 13) You can redefine “baby” as a Reproductive Choice, Product of Conception, Fetal Tissue, or Potential Human. Also…“My body, my choice” means you can pretend your baby doesn’t have a body and isn’t be- ing destroyed during an abortion. 14) Animals and humans are the same. Eagle eggs deserve protection. Human embryos don’t. 15) A racist is someone who does not treat certain races as different and special. Ignoring the differences in skin pigment is racist. 16) There is no such thing as evil…. only mental health issues. 17) Trump is evil. This is not a complete list, but it gives you some things to ponder. Please find some common sense. 18 Stop fooling your- selves. If you count your- self above average in intel- ligence, as judged by this world’s standards, you had better put this all aside and be a fool rather than let it hold you back from the true wisdom from above. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As it says in the book of Job, God uses man’s own brilliance to trap him; he stumbles over his own “wisdom” and falls. 20 And again, in the book of Psalms, we are told that the Lord knows full well how the human mind reasons and how foolish and futile it is.” 1 Corinthi- ans 3:18-20 B y S u s i e C r o s b y, Prineville, OR.
