Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger, A Biblical Response

By: Curtis Ophoven

6/24/2010 - 10 Comments

Coral Ridge Ministries has created a new documentary called “Socialism: A Clear and Present Danger.”

The film questions “whether socialism is the Bible’s prescription for the underprivileged and assesses socialism’s track record in Venezuela, Cuba and elsewhere.”

The film’s creators build the case against socialism and conclude that socialism only leads to poverty and dealth

The film combines clips from speeches by President Obama and interviews by individuals like MN Rep. Michele Bachmann with images of the Communist Manifesto and of figures like Stalin, Castro, Mao and Hugo Chavez.

It shows how the envy-inflamed ideas of Marx and others are at war with the family, the church, and with God and His Word. Though some Christians claim that the Bible teaches socialism, both the DVD and the book provide biblical evidence to the contrary.

The expert guests in the firm discuss the history of socialism and how is leads only to persecution, starvation and murder—like under Mao in which 80 million people perished.

Jay Richards, Author of Money, Greed, and God: How Capitalism Is the Solution, Not The Problem, says

"The fruits of socialism couldn't be worse. In fact, there's no political ideology that's ever killed more people than the socialist experiment. And so, from a Christian perspective, just from a generically moral perspective, the idea that socialism ought to have some kind of promise for redeeming human beings or helping us, it's absurd. Just look at the record."

This is an interesting documentary, but the question I have is why Obama and the Left are so committed to an ideology that is proven to lead to financial slavery and death?  How could the leadership of our nation get so confused about an idea that they are will to put the US on the path of destruction?

The good news is that Obama's agenda is so radical that he is unable to hide his convictions, which has clearly exposed the dangers of the path we are on and this video is a clear demonstration of the response of the people to save the nation before it’s too late.

The reason that the Left has been able to lead the nation this far down the path of destruction is because the identity of Christianity has been stolen.  The politicians like Obama claim they are Christians, to get the support of the public, while they are actually against the very absolute values and laws of God that the governance of our nation depends upon.

Obama is not a follower of Jesus Christ as shown by his agenda and his speeches.  But then what is he?

Jesus addressed the issue of neutrality when He told His disciples in Matthew 12:30:

“He who is not for Me is against me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.”

By Jesus’ own words, if Obama is not for Jesus Christ then he is against Him.  This is the root cause of why the Left and Obama have embraced socialism.  Socialism is the logical conclusion to the rejection of God and the Christian moral absolutes. 

Not only do we need a fiscal conservative President to replace Obama, we need a Christian President—because Christianity is the cornerstone of our culture and economy, which is the cornerstone of the global economy.

And this is the subject of the next eBook that I’m currently working on.

Socialism seems to be profitable for Venzuela:

Venezuela seizes oil rigs owned by US company
CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela's government has seized control of 11 oil rigs owned by U.S. driller Helmerich & Payne, which shut them down because the state oil company was behind on payments.

Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez announced that Venezuela would nationalize the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based company's rigs. He said in a statement Wednesday that Helmerich & Payne had rejected government demands to resume drilling operations for more than a year.

Senator introduces legislation to shift tax burden back to billionaires

By John Byrne
Thursday, June 24th, 2010 -- 10:15 am

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is sick of the super-rich avoiding estate taxes.

On Thursday, he made good on his word: he today introduced legislation to restore the estate tax on the wealthiest Americans, which he says would bring in at least $264 billion in the next ten years to help reduce the national debt.

“This legislation would ensure that the wealthiest Americans in our country, millionaires and billionaires, pay their fair share while exempting 99.7 percent of Americans from paying any estate tax whatsoever,” Sanders said in a release. “At a time when we have a record-breaking $13 trillion national debt and a growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, people who inherit multi-million and billion dollar estates must not be allowed to avoid paying their fair share in estate taxes

Norway thinks the G20 is a failure:

http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,702104,00.html
The G-20 is a self-appointed group. Its composition is determined by the major countries and powers. It may be more representative than the G-7 or the G-8, in which only the richest countries are represented, but it is still arbitrary. We no longer live in the 19th century, a time when the major powers met and redrew the map of the world. No one needs a new Congress of Vienna.

Us Rich keep getting Richer

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Worlds-rich-got-richer-amid-rb-2551769401.html?x=0
By Joseph A. Giannone

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The rich grew richer last year, even as the world endured the worst recession in decades.

A stock market rebound helped the world's ranks of millionaires climb 17 percent to 10 million, while their collective wealth surged 19 percent to $39 trillion, nearly recouping losses from the financial crisis, according to the latest Merrill Lynch-Capgemini world wealth report.

Stock values rose by half, while hedge funds recovered most of their 2008 losses, in a year marked by government stimulus spending and central bank easing.

Socialist Greece is coming around and privatizing its land and utility holdings:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/24/greece-islands-sale-save-economy
The sale of an island – or convincing a member of the international jet-set to take on a long-term lease – would help to boost its coffers. The Private Islands website lists 1,235-acre Nafsika, in the Ionian sea, on sale by private interests for €15m. But others are on offer by private owners for less than €2m – less than a townhouse in Mayfair or Chelsea. Some of the country's numerous islands are tiny which could barely fit a single sunbed.

Only 227 Greek islands are populated and the decision to press ahead with potential sales has also been driven by the inability of the state to develop basic infrastructure, or police most of its islands. The hope is that the sale or long-term lease of some islands will attract investment that will generate jobs and taxable income.

Told by the Guardian that such sales or leases were in prospect, Makis Perdikaris, director of Greek Island Properties, said that he would be unhappy at the prospect of any outright sale of state land: "I am sad - selling off your islands or areas that belong to the people of Greece should be used as the last resort," he said. But he was not necessarily against long-term leases: "The first thing is to develop the economy and attract foreign domestic investment to create the -necessary infrastructure. The point is to get money."

In its battle to raise funds, the country is also planning to sell its rail and water companies. Chinese investors are understood to be interested in the Greek train system, as they already control some of the ports. In a deal announced earlier this month, the Greek government also agreed to export olive oil to China.

After the socialist government of prime minister Geórgios Papandreou responded to the IMF bailout with draconian budget cuts, rioters took to the streets, costing three lives in May.

At least we know now that the socialist trajectory of the U.S. is not due to Barack Obama but to Francis Bellamy.
