An Appeal to Christians on the Left

"Civility in Public Discourse is at an all time low".   This statement has been repeated every decade I have been following politics.   It is usually sited by a liberal politician or member of the media after some horrific incident implying the rise in the conservative movement is stirring up angst and hatred.    These slurs and false implications are never proven or founded on anything of substance.   

It seems to me however, things actually have declined to a level that is disgraceful, disgusting and shameful.   The left has sunk to a low that is not human.   I don't want to come across condescending or prudish or any of those things.   I honestly and sincerely feel shame for the man carrying this sign.  I want to plead with him to stop his inhumane degrading behavior.  It doesn't help his cause.  It doesn't serve the few good people of his cause and it is offensive to decent people of all political persuasions or at least it should be.   If he were trying to be funny it's not.    

You might have read recently of the CBS reporter, Lara Logan, while covering the protest in Egypt was sexually assaulted by a group of men and repeatedly raped in the street while many looked on.  The accounts differ but the ordeal could have lasted any where from 30 minutes to 3 hours.  She was beaten, bit and raped repeatedly.  She was degraded in unthinkable and unspeakable ways.   For a more graphic and detailed account of the incident read here.  


In light of Lara Logan's tragedy, this man's sign clearly is making reference to the incident at this Wisconsin protest rally and I guess is looking to commit similar acts of violence against conservative women.   The Left is officially unhinged.  I have little to no respect for the general Left.   Their claim to stand up for the common man, to defend the defenseless, is a sham and disgusting.   For those few on the Left that truly do want to help the less fortunate and give back to mankind, their efforts are totally mocked by the great numbers of people, like this man, who are filled with hate and gross self interest.    

I realize this is little more than a rant but lines are being drawn and they are bold and distinctive.  Freedom loving people stand in great contrast to those on the Left that only want to get theirs now with no regard for future generations.  For my Left leaning Christian brothers and sisters, I pray the Lord continue to lead you to Himself and I truly pray that your efforts to help the poor will be blessed.   I also pray that your eyes will be enlightened to the fact that if you are associated with such abhorrent people in your cause your efforts will be disgraced.  Either find a way to cleanse your movement of such filth and restore integrity to your cause or leave them and join with millions of freedom loving people, who honor life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all, regardless of race, gender or socio-economic background.
