To any clear thinking American patriot, it should be abundantly clear that the Left is out to destroy America as we have known it. It is also clear, that the Left destroys everything it touches. The list includes everything from the open border and economic prosperity, to the Boy Scouts and public education. What is so disappointing is how organizations and corporations just cave-in to the demands of the Left, which is actually a minority in our country.
The latest example is the Left’s attack on the primary source of our moral standards: religion. Take what is happening with the United Methodist Church (UMC). The UMC was formed in 1968 when the existing Methodist Church combined with the Evangelical United Brethren Church. The Methodist movement was originally founded in the mid-1700s by John Wesley. The UMC has consistently followed traditional Judeo-Christian principles (see Social Principles of the United Methodist Church) including marriage between a man and a woman. For some reason unknown to me, the leadership of the UMC has chosen to cave-in to the woke Left and are endorsing homosexual marriage. This has resulted in a crisis and the splitting of the UMC by vote of their members who support or oppose these changes.
What is most disturbing, is how an organization allows a small minority to control their principles and their integrity. For example, in a recent poll only 6.4% of women and 5% of men claim to be homosexual. Of these, only 10% are in a homosexual marriage. So, the UMC, is allowing its organization to be potentially destroyed by trying to accommodate the demands of an extremely small group of people most of which are not members of their congregations. Hard to understand.
The UMC is just one example of organizations caving in to the Left. The Disney Corporation, Gillete, Coca Cola, and Direct TV are other examples of organizations that have done the same thing. Fear of the Left and negative publicity may explain some of these actions. Allowing small minorities to control our country over the wishes of the majority must be stopped. We can register our objections by complaining, not purchasing their products and canceling services. Going along with this is what the woke Left expects us to do. Let’s disappoint them.
