The 21 Tenets of Faith for the Woke Crowd


To be an accepted member of the congregation of the enlightened woke leftist faith, one must have unwavering and inarguable belief, regardless of all facts and evidence to the contrary, in all of the following tenets of the "faith":

1. The Orange Man is evil.

2. The "protests" are peaceful.

3. BLM (the organization) is legitimate and really cares about all black lives.

4. There is no deep state.

5. Jeffrey Epstein really did kill himself.

6. There are many more than two sexes and they can be fluid.

7. There was Russian Collusion.

8. The Chinese Government is our friend.

9. Socialism is great; it just hasn’t been done right yet.

10. The 1619 project is true and based on solid research.

11. All police are evil - ACAB right?

12. Systemic racism exists everywhere.

13. White people are bad.

14. Reparations are owed.

15. Conservatives are evil.

16. God doesn’t belong anywhere in society.

17. The Corona virus isn’t being used as a political weapon.

18. The mainstream media reports the truth and CNN is a legitimate source of objective news.

19. Trump was not spied on by Obama.

20. George Soros isn’t a bad guy and isn’t bankrolling traitorous and seditious organizations.

21. Abolishing the police and prisons will make for a safer, and more lawful society.

And of course the greatest commandment, under which all of the other tenets fall, is the United States of America is bad!

If one does not believe in this woke doctrine, then one is a heretic and an enemy to be cancelled... or worse.  One can only wonder how much crazier the left woke crowd will become if Donald Trump does win reelection.  Their righteous faith will cause them to rise up with even greater anger, chaos, and destruction if a majority of voting Americans don't tow their dogmatic woke line.  The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be tremendous, if this comes to pass. 

Actual prayers to God for His protection and healing love to once again make us one nation under God may be the very best way to weather this wrong-headed and sometimes evil "faith" confronting our country. I am not saying that this "wokeness faith" is of Satan's designs, however, I have to think that Lucifer is smiling at the destruction and hate that it is sowing.

1. The Orange Man is evil.

Matthew 7:16. For someone who vied for Cruz in the 2016 Primary and claimed he was voting for Castle in the General, you've made a remarkable (Lindsey Graham levels of remarkable) ideological switch.

2. The "protests" are peaceful.

Protests are peaceful. The "right" wants to equate rioters and agitators with protesters. The President wants to equate protestors with terrorists. This is dangerous and anti-American.

3. BLM (the organization) is legitimate and really cares about all black lives.

Until proven otherwise with facts rather than your feelings.

4. There is no deep state.

There is no deep state. QAnon garbage and I thought your better than that.

5. Jeffrey Epstein really did kill himself.

This is a new one, huh.

6. There are many more than two sexes and they can be fluid.

This, strangely, matters to you and "conservatives".

7. There was Russian Collusion.

I think #7 can be rephrased as 'Believes in the consensus of the American Intelligence communities', but I'm afraid you've fallen to the point that you brush that aside with 'Deep State' drivel.

8. The Chinese Government is our friend.

... Is this a list where you are unilaterally putting definitions on "the left"? Cause I think you mixed this one up with the one for Donald Trump.

9. Socialism is great; it just hasn’t been done right yet.

Sure. We're the Greatest Country on the planet, why couldn't we do it right? We got to the moon, after all. That great, socialist experiment in space travel.

10. The 1619 project is true and based on solid research.

As opposed to...?

11. All police are evil - ACAB right?

Oh, no, not all police. I imagine many people have a problem with the ORGANIZATION of the police, not individual police. It's the ORGANIZATION. A sentiment certain curators of this blog can empathize with.

12. Systemic racism exists everywhere.

Systemic racism exists. Adding 'everywhere' to this is unnecessary.

13. White people are bad.

You should probably stop being so defensive and stop equating White Nationalism or White Supremacy as 'White People'. It's not a good look and is rather ridiculous to think an entire side of the political spectrum, that includes white people, self-loathe.

14. Reparations are owed.

Owed? Maybe. Talked about and discussed? Definitely.

15. Conservatives are evil.

Matthew 7:16

16. God doesn’t belong anywhere in society.

Sure God does. It's called Church or one's home. This is a ridiculous statement. Gotta indulge in that Christian Oppression endorphin hit, right?

17. The Corona virus isn’t being used as a political weapon.

It sure is. That's why our Nation is where it is in dealing with it.

18. The mainstream media reports the truth and CNN is a legitimate source of objective news.

The Mainstream Media reports the news. CNN is a legitimate source of said news. Objective news is a myth, as it is curated by human people with innate biases. 'Objective news' isn't what "conservatives" want. "conservatives" want confirmation bias.

19. Trump was not spied on by Obama.

Trump was not spied on by Obama. Come on Darrell. Critical thinking.

20. George Soros isn’t a bad guy and isn’t bankrolling traitorous and seditious organizations.

The only time I ever hear about George Soros is from "conservatives" obsessed with their boogey men. At this point, I'm not entirely convinced George Soros is a real person with the sheer number of cartoonish scenarios that name is associated with in "conservative" circles.

21. Abolishing the police and prisons will make for a safer, and more lawful society.

I think the rallying cry is 'Defund the Police'

"And of course the greatest commandment, under which all of the other tenets fall, is the United States of America is bad!" - Darrell

Such a childish mentality to project upon a certain group of people you merely have disagreements with, Darrell. All sides of the political spectrum, I can safely say, love their country. Except certain "conservatives" want to also define how people love their country. Asking for and demanding our country and countrymen do and be better isn't 'The United States of America is bad!' I find fault in a lot of what you've written, but I understand- like a grown ass adult should understand- my disagreement with you doesn't make you a bad person. I just expect better of you.

Finally:

"I have to think that Lucifer is smiling at the destruction and hate that it is sowing."

It's certainly not God's Love that compels you to write these sorts of divisive posts that speaks ill and evil of others who think differently than you. Considering I've referenced Matthew 7 twice now, I'll reference and remind you of Matthew 7:1-2.

Thank you for your comment, TB3.

Regarding #1. The Orange Man is evil.

Well, despite some of the incredibly stupid tweets and rhetoric from Trump, the fruits of what he has actually accomplished has been pretty good on balance. Of course, there are still things with which I strongly disagree with him on, particularly on some of his deregulation of the environment, but overall he has done what he promised to do. Overall, those fruits are good. Biden is certainly not a viable alternative, so my support is going to Trump this time by default.

2. The "protests" are peaceful.

Yes, TB3, many protests are peaceful, or at least they start out that way until Antifa and some of the more violent BLM (organization) supporters start their lighting of fires, blinding cops with lasers, launching mortar-style fireworks at buildings and people, throwing rocks and bottles etc., and simply destroying public and private property. They are using this destruction and intimidation as a means to accomplish a political agenda. I think that makes those “protestors” guilty of such action as terrorists by definition. I’d submit that supporting such violence and destruction is anti-American.

3. BLM (the organization) is legitimate and really cares about all black lives.

See my previous comments under the BLM post in the comment section that spell out what the organization stands for in their own words.

4. There is no deep state.

“There is no deep state. QAnon garbage and I thought your better than that.” ~TB3

Clapper, Strzok, Comey, FISA courts, McCabe, Lynch, Page, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Sallie Yates, Hillary, and the list goes on of people and branches that worked illegally in their job capacities to cause harm to the Trump Administration from before it even began. Just because you don’t want to look at the evidence doesn’t mean it isn’t so, sir.

6. There are many more than two sexes and they can be fluid.

“This, strangely, matters to you and ‘conservatives’.” ~TB3

Yes, it does matter when we are told what our churches and schools can teach on the topic, who we can hire and fire in our religious institutions, and which bathrooms and showers a student must share with someone that is biologically of the opposite sex.

7. There was Russian Collusion.

Not even the great Robert Mueller was able to find anything of substance evidence-wise of this political hunt for a crime that did not exist.

8. The Chinese Government is our friend.

“... Is this a list where you are unilaterally putting definitions on ‘the left’? Cause I think you mixed this one up with the one for Donald Trump.” ~TB3

Really? Do some research into Joe and Hunter Biden regarding the money they both made from China just for starters.

10. The 1619 project is true and based on solid research.

“As opposed to...?” ~TB3

How about as opposed to actual credible expert peer-reviewed history based on original sources and data, instead of an anti-American screed based on a political agenda hateful to America and its founding by furthering the false premise that the whole country was founded on slavery and racism.

11. All police are evil - ACAB right?

The organization of the police is not the problem. They are there to protect and serve us as enforcers of the law. There are sadly a very few rogue members within some police departments that are not so noble in that endeavor and need to be removed. When they commit crimes, like for instance the murder of George Floyd, they should be fired and arrested. Oh wait… that is what happened there.

12. Systemic racism exists everywhere.

“Systemic racism exists. Adding 'everywhere' to this is unnecessary.” ~TB3

Most racism in America today is not systemic. Most Americans, regardless of color, do not act in a racist or bigoted way, unless one wants to start inventing forms of racism such as micro-aggressions, etc.

13. White people are bad.

“You should probably stop being so defensive and stop equating White Nationalism or White Supremacy as 'White People'.” ~TB3

I wasn’t making such as equation; however, it is interesting how many leftists are telling all whites that they are a part of the problem due to their white privilege further oppressing people of color.

14. Reparations are owed.

“Owed? Maybe. Talked about and discussed? Definitely.” ~TB3

I think that anyone alive in America today that was a slave should have reparations paid to them by their slave-owner. It is amazing how many leftists want to eradicate and erase history, but will hold on to this tenet of it since there is potential money involved.

16. God doesn’t belong anywhere in society.

“Sure God does. It's called Church or one's home…” ~TB3

Oh, I got it. As long as we worship God in the privacy of our homes or churches, when some states let us go back to church, then it is fine. The problem is that Christians are called to live their lives all of the time by the dictates of their faith… even in public. Granted, we all fail to one degree or another at this, but God should not be forced to be relegated only to a service on whatever Sabbath one acknowledges.

18. The mainstream media reports the truth and CNN is a legitimate source of objective news.

“The Mainstream Media reports the news. CNN is a legitimate source of said news. Objective news is a myth, as it is curated by human people with innate biases. 'Objective news' isn't what ‘conservatives’ want. ‘conservatives’ want confirmation bias.” ~TB3

Confirmation bias is exactly what leftists are getting from their fellow political travelers in the main stream media. They report what fits their agenda, ignore what doesn’t, and often conflate, exaggerate, or lie about many stories.

19. Trump was not spied on by Obama.

“Trump was not spied on by Obama. Come on Darrell. Critical thinking.” ~TB3

Hmm… critical thinking indeed. Let’s look at Obama’s FBI, FISA courts, Steele dossier, and meetings with Obama in the loop on the whole ordeal. Do a little research here, sir.

21. Abolishing the police and prisons will make for a safer, and more lawful society.

“I think the rallying cry is 'Defund the Police'” ~TB3

Yeah, that’s what I said.

And of course the greatest commandment, under which all of the other tenets fall, is the United States of America is bad!

“All sides of the political spectrum, I can safely say, love their country. Except certain ‘conservatives’ want to also define how people love their country. Asking for and demanding our country and countrymen do and be better isn't 'The United States of America is bad!'” ~TB3

I actually thought this too all of my life, until these last few months. I thought we all wanted what was best for America, but each thought in different ways what that might be or how to go about it. Now when I see people saying hateful and factually inaccurate things about the nation, it’s founding, it’s history, and it’s current events, and then attempt to destroy the bedrock principles of capitalism, faith, and the rule of law upon which it was founded, I am not necessarily of that same opinion anymore. They don’t love a country that was “founded” on racism and “oppresses” people of color today. They want to “burn it down”.

I’ll leave you with a bible verse too, TB3. Isaiah 5:20
