Jim JonesIncredible.
...and now we know what it means when we mention "kool-aid" in the context of Leftists believing Leftist leaders' lies and dogmas... the guy made over 900 people drink poisoned kool-aid, thus killing them...Jim Jones was an evangelical communist who became a minister to infiltrate the church with the gospel according to Marx and Lenin. He was an atheist missionary bringing his message of socialist redemption to the Christian heathen. "I decided, how can I demonstrate my Marxism?," remembered Jones of his days in 1950s Indiana. "The thought was, infiltrate the church." So in the forms of Pentecostal ritual, Jones smuggled socialism into the minds of true believers--who gradually became true believers of a different sort. Unless one counts his drug-induced bouts with self-messianism, Jones didn't believe in God. Get it--a Peoples Temple. He shocked his parishioners, many of whom certainly did believe in God, by dramatically tossing the Bible onto the ground during a sermon. "Nobody's going to come out of the sky!," an excited Jones had once informed his flock. "There's no heaven up there! We'll have to have heaven down here!" Like so many efforts to usher in the millenium before it, Jones's Guyanese road to heaven on earth detoured to a hotter afterlife destination.
The horrific scene in a Guyanese jungle clearing could have been avoided. Thousands of miles north, for years leading up to Jonestown, San Francisco officials and journalists had looked the other way while Jones acted as a law unto himself. So what if he abused children, sodomized a follower, tortured and held temple members at gun point, and defrauded the government and people of welfare and social security checks? He believes in socialism and so do we. That was the ends-justifies-the-means attitude that enabled Jim Jones to commit criminal acts in San Francisco with impunity. The people who should have stopped him instead encouraged him.
And Leftists nevertheless deny that their ideology and lifestyle is a mental disorder, that Leftism never causes mass delusion???
And this guy used to be a director of the Indiana Human Rights Commission...
Scary.
And talk about Hard-Left evildoers hijacking Christianity to use as sheeps' clothing to cover their wolf's fur...
Hmm... coincidentally, one now can't help but note that Barack Obama, by the way, has stopped going to church now that he's been elected President... interesting, that...
What kind of folks work at "human rights" commissions these days? As regular readers of this blog well know, there's certainly quite a few unpleasant Hard-Left characters involved in these now-denormalized Liberal Fascist entities masquerading as proponents of human rights whilst actually violating them...
So that kind of stuff is what "progressive" means????
