(1) Several weeks ago Biden declared Easter Sunday to be Transgender Day of Visibility. He declared it officially, in a proclamation made as President of the United States of America. Pissing trannies all over one of the holiest Christian days was done on purpose, to provoke Christians. Transvestite Day could have been almost any other day of the year. And it’s not as if no one in the White House staff knew that day was Easter. No, this was a deliberate choice. It was done to provoke Christians into a response that the left could make use of… for propaganda, or to justify new totalitarian laws, or both.
(2) South Dakota (click here and scroll down for a link to the bill’s text) and Florida (pdf file) recently passed laws making it illegal to quote parts of the Bible. Specifically, they forbid quoting passages that say or suggest that Jews killed Jesus. The laws do this in an underhanded way, by referring to other documents that say this, without quoting those documents. Specifically, they adopt the definition of “antisemitism” used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, but not quoting that definition in the texts of their bills. The definition, when tracked down, includes this as part of its definition of “antisemitism”:
“Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.”
According to the Bible, Jews and Romans killed Jesus. A Jewish mob, I mean peaceful protest, demanded it of Ponius Pilate. He tried to demure but they insisted. Roman soldiers actually crucified Jesus, but solely because a Jewish mob demanded it. And according to Matthew 27:24-25, the mob said of Jesus, “His blood be on us and on our children!” I’m pretty sure that quoting that Matthew passage violates the Florida and South Dakota laws. So we now have Jews telling Christians straight up: “We are making it illegal to quote parts of the Bible. What are you going to do about it?”
They’re trying to provoke a reaction.
The left is obviously trying to provoke American Christians into a response that they can use as causus belli. Delightfully, they didn’t get it. And Biden suffered political damage from his proclamation (recall the popular reaction to that proclamation at the time). So this is the worst outcome for the left. As far as people’s reactions in Florida and South Dakota, I haven’t been following at the state level. But no one did anything the left could use for propaganda purposes. (I wonder why the deep state didn’t just make one of their wind-up toys get violent. Well, maybe that’s coming soon.)
And don’t tell me South Dakota and Florida are red states, so it can’t be that bad. Read the damn links. The Republican Party, a.k.a. the Washington Generals, almost always caves when it actually matters.
Meanwhile, who really has causus belli here? Both of the actions above are obvious attempts to start a fight. Do they really think the majority of people would have been on their side if the situation had turned violent? Is that what they think?
