Is the right hand unaware of the left hand?

Are Evangelical Churches Drifting Left?

Did you wake up one Sunday morning and finally realize that you could no longer support or attend a church that has gradually embraced an anti-American, anti-Capitalistic gospel in the name of Christ? Did it suddenly dawn upon you that the ever-present term “social justice” is merely a code word for a Marxist view of redistributive justice wrapped in a thinly disguised Christian veneer? Have you visited church after church after church only to discover that something decidedly unchristian has crept into the gospel teachings replacing, by redefinition, all that has been sacred to Christianity for centuries?

We live in the Age of Heresy and what we have to fear is not the old cults that Christians have traditionally warned against for years. What we have to fear today is the steady drift to the political left that has distorted our many venerable institutions and well-known Christian denominations.

Today 100,000 local congregations and 45 million Christians are supporting leftist goals yet most of the members are still blissfully unaware.

Read it all.

    Dave, you seem to be suffering from a bit of Scrooge syndrome this week. Lighten up…it’s Christmas.

    According to Wikipedia, “The presidential election of 1994 was judged to be the first relatively free election in modern Mexican history.” George Washington stated that “…a free nation presupposes a moral people.” Mexico has neither been free or moral for most of its history. While Mexico has created some tax incentives to create investment in their country they hardly could be construed to have a history of free enterprise.

    I like what Daniel Webster once said: “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”

    Dave – I know that you are correct that a lot of companies move to Mexico to avoid environmental regulations – I have worked with some that have moved. There are a lot of other companies (and some of the same) that have also moved for lower wages. Companies don’t want lower wages to hurt the worker – they want lower wages to either remain competitive – or increase their profits – I have seen both.

    A lot of companies chase the lowest $/hour employee. This is a bad strategy – it hurts our economy and people as well as forces a company to be in constant evaluation of new facilities and the hidden costs within other cultures (which I could spend hours discussing).

    I have a competitor that just left “the high priced chinese labor market” to move to the “reasonable” Vietnamese labor market. I am sure that once the unrest clears up, a lot will move to Africa.

    If you want to learn a little about the bypass of clean air, health costs etc. – I recommend The China Price by Alexandra Harney. She isn’t a good writer, but the information is quite enlightening.

    Journalist killed in Mexico, 12th case in 2009 – Yahoo! News

    “Mexico has become a high-risk country for journalistic work,” the country’s National Human Rights Commission wrote, noting that in all, 57 reporters have been killed since 2000 and another eight are missing.

    Attacks on journalists — including killings, explosives tossed at newspaper offices, beatings and other forms of harassment — have risen over the course of the decade, according to the commission, from 13 in 2000 to 78 this year.

    This is not what we mean by a “free market” in a “nation of laws.”

    Only Russia is vaguely competitive in how many reporters it kills when they report on matters inconvenient to the government. And it, of course, is not exactly a model of free market capitalism in framework of laws protecting all the players.
