Those who pretend have not had a stern enough intro to reality or they are criminal and corrupt

I think there should be a third category of the clueless. If they get all of their information from the pretending news sources, their awareness of what is happening is based on propaganda.

I think we are truth seekers. The truth has no agenda; it is just truth and stands forever strong on its own. Ultimately, Jesus is truth, but all truth is good and cleansing. I pray for greater measures of truth and justice every day.

My core thesis is there are 1.Those driven by unclean spirits
2.Those who have ability to resist being driven by unclean spirits
3. Those who are led by YHWH.

In the picture there is no way forward. aka, Irreconcilable Differences or Go Inland to find a New Route. A Practical route that still Preserves Individual Liberties.
Understanding that every Revolution has its Jefferson & Hamilton, Each can be correct if granting to each other the freedom they desire for themselves.
80 % are people of good will, 20 % are people fearful of and seek to dominate the 80 %.Then there are 2% of the 20% truly consumed by evil.
Knowledge and Responsiblity must be used by everyone not just by the someones.

Pretending vs Non-Pretending = Lying Propagandists vs The Truth.

It’s really not that hard to distinguish between the two if, and that’s a BIG “if,” one has not been been unwittingly brainwashed and can still ascertain when the information they are taking in is either BS or the truth.

I say this because I see so many that gulp down the kool-aid with no idea that they are, and have been, deceived! On the other hand, deceit, my ass! They are just outright evil Marxist Communist influencers whom should have no place in country that values freedom, family, love & God!

Very good, Sundance.

Don’t discount the willfully ignorant … whether bereft of intelligence or creativity, too financially content or intellectually lazy to care – and/or regrettably spiritually apathetic – those were/are the lemmings willing to tolerate woke rather than risk being awakened – functioning as an anchor tied to the ranks of unpretending.

Don’t discount the willfully ignorant… those bereft of curiosity, imbued with apathy- too intellectually lazy and/or spiritually bankrupt to care, they tolerate woke while eschewing conversation or independent investigation at the risk they might actually be awakened to the point they feel obligated to espouse or defend a principled viewpoint. Fence-sitters who aren’t the ones carrying the torch meant to burn down the city on the hill, but are bystanders functioning as an anchor tied to the ankles of the non-pretenders who are trying to climb back up the hill to restore the dimmed beacon.

Pretending is part of indoctrination – Leftist Democrats are largely a cult, hence their obsession with censorship.

This song I wrote for one of two musicals performed in Los Angeles theaters in the 1980’s seems to fit here!

Politics warps reason and logic.

The pretenders don’t know that they’re pretenders, believe that they’re right, and have the best intentions. That is until you slap them in the face with facts, then they get mad and cry how bad your Fox news is.

I agree but what’s also interesting is that the data which the non- pretenders use to make their assessment has always been there so why are so many late to the party?

I agree! Pretending vs. Non-pretending. But, to take it further it is common sense vs non-common sense. MAGA believes in a secure border….common sense. MAGA believes in strong law and order…..common sense. MAGA believes boys should not be playing in girls sports or in girls bathrooms…..common sense. MAGA believes in ending costly oversea wars that don’t benefit us…..common sense. MAGA believes in using the liquid gold right under our feet so our nation becomes richer……common sense. MAGA believes in scrapping DEI…….common sense. I could go on forever. GO MAGA!

“Evil can pretend to be good and kind;
But good and kind people cannot pretend to be evil.
So when you see evil behavior in people, believe it.
That is who they really are.”

What about the ‘partially blind’ mentioned in the Holy Scriptures?

The LORD Himself blinded them !!!

And do the ‘partially blind’ know they are blind ???

Unless it’s in a good book, a play/movie, or for playing good natured jokes on a friend, I despise just about all pretense. I guess that’s why it’s impossible for them to brain wash me no matter how hard they try. There was never a snowball’s chance in hell that they were going to get me to believe that men can get pregnant of that a man pretending to be a woman is really a woman. Frankly, I’m still amazed that this madness could work on anybody.

There is so much that I didn’t know about how things work in the corridors of power until around 1996. Once I realized and understood secretive and abusive methods as regularly employed by corporations and government I could not pretend otherwise.

I was naive before because I was taught to respect all authority. Now I am accused of being paranoid for seeing things I could never see before.

I try to see the good without pretending things are better than they are. Not easy.

My ultimate hope is in God’s ability to change hearts.

My husband and I completely agree. We actually see a spiritual war played out in the physical. Much like WWII, the before leafing to…
We war not against flesh and blood….there are too many similarities to mention here. How could the masses not see the evil amassing. I think we are seeing a “but God” moment in time.

I think you’re onto something here.
