Reflections From a Murky Pond

Some, mostly deluded Democrats and cowardly RINOs, think that President Trump didn’t perform well in the recent debate with Kamala Harris. Personally, I think President Trump did quite well in the debate. I’ll even go so far as to say he did incredibly well in it, given the it was a 1v3 PVP match. It was President Trump against Kamala Harris and David Muir and Linsey Davis, the ABC’s supposed moderators for the event.

Essentially, ABC through Muir and Davis said, “Never Again” after the Trump-Biden debate. They weren’t going to be impartial, honest, or nonpartisan when it had been proven how high the stakes were. That’s why the engaged in that I call Malicious Fact-Checking of everything President Trump said while both never fact-checking Kamala’s statements and throwing her carefully curated, softball questions that were literally campaign points for her.

This is what passes for the news media today in America. How their fact-checkers handle public testimony is an example of why they are not trusted by almost any Americans and not even by that many Democrats and likely Democrats. Of course, those same Democrats and likely Democrats don’t really care. While they don’t trust the Lamestream Media and its fact-checkers, they find their mendacity useful.

Since this meme seems to be running rampant right, it seemed appropriate to apply some fact-checking to it. Hence, “This is not a Christian Nation. It’s a nation in which you are free to be Christian” has been found to be Missing Context. It is, like much of what our domestic enemies spew, misinformation – but of the specific sort that is promulgated ,endorsed, and protected by most social media platforms.

First off, The United States of America is not and never has been officially a Christian nation, unlike Argentina, Armenia, Costa Rica, Denmark, England, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Faroe Islands, Georgia, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Norway, Samoa, Serbia, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vatican City, and Zambia. We are not one of the 12.3% of the world’s nations which are officially Christian. So, insofar as that goes, the statement that America is not a Christian nation is true.

Missing Context

Officially so or not, America is functionally – even in these times – a Christian nation. The nation was founded by a variety of Christians, often of sects who were experiencing genocidal persecution in Europe. And, like all Western nations, our legal system is and was based upon Judaeo-Christian religious tenets. And, finally, Christianity is the basis of the vast majority of our citizens’ theological/spiritual makeup. Even the growing number of people within our borders who have – often stridently and virulently, sometimes for very valid reasons – rejected their Church, are still essentially Christian in their beliefs.

So yeah; we’re not officially a Christian nation but we’re de facto a Christian nation since Christianity was baked into America just as it was baked into our European antecedents before our founding.

In point of fact, it would be less misleading to say that America is a Christian nation in which you are free to be non-Christian.

Actually, there were fact-checkers way back then. They were the various priests and orders of the Catholic Church. And, much like the modern era’s inquisitors of the leftists’ self-proclaimed Magisterium, they brooked no dissent or deviation from the orthodoxy that they had created. Thankfully, so far, the Left has settled for censorship and destruction of property, whereas the Church put heretics down, often brutally and only after extensive physical torment.

In truth though, the only functional difference between the fact-checkers of the past and the ones of today is how their taskmasters respond to findings of heretical “misinformation.”

That’s one of the biggest and most important, if not the biggest and most important, threats facing the Civilized, Free, Western World today – the blurred and biased line between facts and fiction today. Between the Lamestream Media’s Fake News and Social Media’s “Fact Checkers,” it’s largely impossible for anyone to distinguish between facts and fiction.

But then, this hellish situation should hardly be considered unexpected. After all, just as an informed Citizenry is necessary to Democracy, a misinformed Citizenry is needed for tyranny to sink its roots in society. And there are certain sorts who sorely desire such tyranny… for all the best reasons of course.
