Biden: "MAGA Crowd Most Extreme In History"

President Joe Biden delivered a sharp political speech from the White House yesterday warning of the “extreme” agenda from “MAGA” Republicans.

“This MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that has existed in American history,” Biden said, referring to the Make America Great Again movement sparked by former President Donald Trump.

Politics triggered his awakening, but the so-called "MAGA" movement is about something much more than politics.

And loving or hating "Trump."

Be informed, not misled.

The president then clarified that he meant the most extreme political group in “recent” American history.

Of course.

Biden repeatedly mispronounced “MAGA” as “mega” but corrected himself.

“The mega Republicans, the MAGA Republicans, excuse me, I don’t want to mispronounce it, the MAGA Republicans,” he said.

Biden answered a question from reporters about the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

“This is about a lot more than abortion,” he said.

Indeed it is.

It's also about a lot more than Donald Trump.

It's about deeply held biblical beliefs, and the search for which elected official will stand "for" those biblical beliefs---not try to cancel them.

Trump did. Deeply religious Biden does not.

President Biden then began ticking off why conservative citizens who voted for Trump, are the worst among us.

His first warning was that Republicans might pass a law preventing “LGBTQ children” from attending public school with other children.

He also suggested that the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade could mean the government could regulate couples from using birth control.

Only those living in a state of delusion would even make that accusation, much less believe it.

The view of conservatives and biblical Christians by the radical Left --- including that of our president,  is stunning. 

“Let me tell you about this ultra-MAGA agenda, it’s extreme,” Biden said.

Let's talk about "extreme beliefs."

Abortion.

President Biden on Tuesday raised eyebrows on social media after denying one of the far Left's fundamental claims about abortion.

The left called it a mere "messaging blunder." 

The Apostle Paul called it "vain imaginations" and a "darkened heart" (Rom. 1:21).

In discussing the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, the president did not refer to what’s at stake regarding women’s health, nor any of the usual talking points of the Left. He didn't even say "fetus" or "pregnancy." Instead, he was clear that it's “a child” that's killed in the procedure.

He said, "The idea that we're going to make a judgment that is going to say that no one can make the judgment to choose to abort a child, based on a decision by the Supreme Court, I think goes way overboard. If this decision holds, it's really quite a radical decision.” 

A child?

Is a law against killing your unwanted "child" really a radical decision?

And when did the "fetal mass" in the womb become a "child" in the womb? These people can't help themselves. Sometimes the truth just slips past their lips. Not often, but occasionally.

It's a child at conception, and down deep most of us know that. We've seen the pictures of the unborn child, reacting to pain, and sucking their thumb in their mother's womb.

How does America feel about Roe v Wade being overturned?

A plurality of likely voters supports overturning Roe v. Wade, a Rasmussen Reports survey released yesterday found.

The survey presented respondents with the following: “According to a leaked draft of a majority opinion, the U.S. Supreme Court is prepared to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States. Would you approve or disapprove of a Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade?”

Some surveys and polls taken in the past show more people supporting abortion. But when you look at the way the questions are framed and asked, it is clear why the outcome is skewed toward a pro-abortion outcome.

Rasmussen is straightforward: "Would you approve or disapprove of a Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v Wade?"

Here's an overview of the  Rasmussen Reports survey taken Tuesday, May 3, 2022, after the Supreme Court opinion was leaked:

Sixty-six percent (66%) of GOP voters, 31% of Democrats, and 46% of unaffiliated voters agree with Alito’s draft opinion that Roe v. Wade “was egregiously wrong from the start.” Sixty-two percent (62%) of Democrats, 29% of Republicans, and 46% of unaffiliated voters disagree with Alito’s opinion.

Eighty-five percent (85%) of Democrats, 38% of Republicans, and 55% of unaffiliated voters agree with Biden’s statement that "a woman’s right to choose is fundamental.”

Fifty-two percent (52%) of men and 45% of women would approve of a Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Justice Alito wrote this on behalf of the majority:

The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely—the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition,” and “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.”

The opinion concludes that the Constitution, as originally understood, did not include a right to abortion.

Does President Biden really believe that Republicans, conservatives, and biblical Christians want to "pass a law" preventing “LGBTQ children” from attending public school with other children?

I recently wrote in this column and talked about on our daily radio program Biden's new "Disinformation Governance Board."

Since learning of its existence, we have also learned more about whom the president has chosen to lead-- to be the "Truth Minister" of the governance board. 

Nina Jankowitz, who is Biden's choice to lead the "disinformation" crew, has a history of being a rabidly pro-LGBTQ activist, recently declaring that "men can give birth."

Hitler's Nazis established a "Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment" to shape public opinion and suppress criticism of their own regime.

Are we too standing at that threshold today?

How long before this administration declares that to claim only women can birth children is "untrue" and prohibited speech?

Very recently Jankowitz said, "There are many non-binary people who give birth."

I sense this silencing is coming. 

And with it some kind of ban on any biblical teaching that contradicts the far Left activist administration's narrative.

Takeaway

Many Christians today are either being silenced from the fear of speaking biblical truth regarding the issues of our day---or simply retreating to silence.

While some may have reconsidered their biblical faith and embraced abortion or homosexual behavior, because after all, Love Wins. But not all have. Not even most.

"Most" have simply become silent and retreated to a "safe space"---agreeing with those who take a stand but being afraid of speaking out for fear of repercussions. Sometimes from friends.

We have a duty in Christ to be strong (Eph. 6:10) and a duty to stand for righteousness and to spread the gospel (Mark 16:15).

I know it can be difficult, but God is with us (Deut. 20:1), and He is greater (Deut10:17).

Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

Be courageous: Joshua 1:9.

Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Prayerful.
