    Wokeism" Is The Biggest Threat To America

    Wokeism" Is The Biggest Threat To America

    Interesting reading and so true!...

    FNC's "The Next Revolution" host Steve Hilton discusses the philosophy behind what he calls the religion of "Wokeism," arguing it is the result of "a planned and carefully executed campaign to destroy our society that began a century ago" and did not simply "spring fully formed from AOC's Twitter account or the death of George Floyd."

    To go long with this campaign if you notice on most of the left wing sites you cannot give a peoples response to what they say in their articles!...No challenges!

    Just another talking head, worried that facts established at the moment of birth may not be as relevant in the future when it comes to deciding who ends up where in American society. When he talks about a "threat to America", that's what he's really talking about--a reshuffling of the deck of birthright privilege, or elimination of it altogether.

    As for religion in this country--two things are responsible for it's persistent decline:

    1. The tangible results of modern science (over relying on the given knowledge of religion) in explaining the physical world.

    2. The conduct of religious elites themselves, who are revealed with increasing regularity acting as though their own rules do not apply to them. Modern media (fruits of #1 above) make it easier than ever to expose hypocrites among the religious, economic and political elites.

      The decline of religion in this country is influenced in large part by the disintegration of family life-the high divorce rate, the rejection by men of the role of protector and provider, 49 years of abortion on demand, and the high illegitimacy rate, 40% nationwide, over 50% in the black community, children as "meal tickets" for their mothers. And widespread rejection of the notion of individual responsibility. If you have problems in your life, it's somebody else's fault and "society's" obligation to solve them.

        In my opinion you nailed it....

          Togor... can you answer me why so many of the lefty media/news sites will not allow any peoples responses on their sites on what they say in the articles!...Of course the answer to that question is that it allows no challenges and/ or corrections to their articles in that they are pure lefty propaganda sites and as such they are responsible for the decline of the items you named!

            I was going to click on when I saw: Just another talking head...I checked back. I'll be darned, Togor.

            Woke seems to be just what it is, constant accusations of racism. That's racist, that's racist, sounds racist, he's racist. Good Lord. White privilege; Who doesn't like to be on top? How to you get to be on top? Use the brains God gave you. Work hard. Think. Stay out of trouble. Don't do too much drugs(everyone is going to do some, we have propensity to get high). Not every white person on earth is capable of the above. But there's enough. The dumb one's want to lash out because they aren't successful. Or don't like change. Any number of things. But the whiney demand for more fairness, attention, money rubs some folks the wrong way. Black is Black, it's never going to be white.

            The value in religion is that you can scare little kids into trying to be good for the first fourteen years. Hopefully, some of those basic rules stick. Like drugs; experiment with it but don't think it's the solution to everything.
            If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

              Lot of truth in that, that religion is there to try to keep some people from falling into a worse state. Certainty we got a dose that growing up, but eventually you figure out it's the adults, not God, setting the rules, especially the nitpicky ones.

              The problem with religion these days is religious leaders, frankly. For every 100 guys who claim to be sent by God, of how many does that claim hold up? Those 98 or 99 guys who don't pass muster undermine the entire edifice.

                I agree that the best argument against something is the people who practice it. That's why I have no use for drug users, homosexuals, welfare freeloaders, etc.

                  Get out more. I should too. But I believe that not every homo or drug user is detrimental to society. Hopefully, the welfare freeloaders(who can be homos and druggies) turn their lives around. But it's iffy.
                  There's loads of smart "black" folks. Black is black, but there are all shades. The guys from India that I have worked with are cat quick. Well, we know Asians are smart. Why? Gigantic family values and support. Blacks, eh, not so much. Are Asians and [Indians] loony at times? Yes, I've seen it. But we haven't seen any massive crybaby(loot,burn) marches yet in support of Asian lives. Why the Asian story? The media likes that kind of stuff. And morons, bully's and street creeps like to sucker punch folks. A lot of Asians work tough neighborhoods. You gotta start somewhere. The residents aren't going to get it going.

                  But dang, been to SF lately? That's a lot of Asians.

                  I just read that no one is born prejudiced. But it doesn't take long. I was raised with WWII veterans. They'd eat**** before they would buy a Jap truck. I was raised in a small part of the Sunny South. Yep, I was raised in Alaska. The neighbor lady had a cleaning lady and when we were all kids we played together. The black kid used to say, last one to the bottom is a xxxxxx baby. I called him on it: your the xxxxxx. He pushed me some and said, "anyone can be a xxxxxx, even you". I wonder where he is today.

                    Oh, and by the way and as usual, Togor has again started posts that are away from the subject matter of Wokeism to some other another topic. It goes against his lefty views and is to close to home...he does that all the time.. . Change subject is the Dem's way.. You have to keep your eye on him ..Lol.

                        How about this..

                        'Wokeism is the new fascism': Piers Morgan says democracy is under threat from 'cancel culture' unless society stands up to the 'illiberal mob' and defends the right to free speech

                        Morgan spoke out passionately in a wide-ranging interview that aired on Monday
                        It was the DailyMail.com Editor-at-Large's first TV interview since leaving GMB
                        He was forced out over Twitter outrage that he doubted Meghan Markle's claims
                        Morgan denounced the 'woke mob' that cost him his job on the UK morning show

                        Also spoke out in defense of The Talk's Sharon Osborne and Teen Vogue's editor
                        Both were forced out of their jobs in recent weeks over Twitter mob outrages

                        Morgan warned that democracy depends on the right to freely express opinions
                        'This is fascism, it's the new form, and it's got to be repelled,' Morgan said
                        He added: 'It's not about Meghan Markle... It's really about free speech'

                          Piers Morgan... ain't he the guy who high-tailed it home to the UK after his demands here for gun control blew up in his face? Just someone trolling current events for money, IMO.

                          Not one person has ever told me that I am:

                          Not woke enough,

                          Woke just right, or

                          Too woke.

                          If they did I would laugh in their face.

                              Changing topics again as my post had nothing to do with gun control but only on Wokeism the new fascism. .. Any way his stance on guns is typical British
