Eric's Beijing Diary

How do we explain the increcible rage focused on Elon Musk for trying to make government more efficient? What is is about the modern Democrat party that makes it so hostile to people of faith and conviction who want to do what's right?

The Bible says, "The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth." (Psalm 37:12)

Those people who are lashing out at Elon Musk and his team of crusaders are not just foolish and unwise. They are evil. We should not be surprised when wicked people do wicked things. But what concerns me is that even a few people who call themselves Christians are getting caught up in this hysteria. Don't do that, you guys. You're going to end up on the wrong side of history.

If you have legitimate objections to cuts they are making, of course you should let your voice be heard. That's not a bad thing to do. In fact, these guys really need that kind of input. But to just lash out blindly at their sincere attempt to rescue America from economic disaster is very wrong.

So how do we respond to these angry folks who are venting their rage at those who want to do justice? Sometimes we may call them stupid, or say that they are misguided. And sometimes, those may be the case. But in end, we should not be surprised when wicked people lash out at the righteous. If they point out shortcomings in our approach, we should be mature enough to consider what they say. But if all they want to do is attack any attempt to clean up corruption, then we should proceed in spite of their rage. The powers of darkness despise the righteous. Satan and his minions will always oppose attempts to bring righteousness to government and society.

I started this podcast a week ago, but it took me longer than I had expected. The problem is that I included too many audio clips. Speaking as a teacher, these news clips can be useful in helping to explain various concepts. But I got a little carried away. A lot carried away, actually. Again, they are useful, but time consuming. I think I had four or five in addition to the half-time news break. So this is late, but still current. This issues is not going away, because the search for corruption is going to continue.

That being the case, the scripture below will continue to be salient. This verse doesn't really tell us how to deal with the problem, just that we should not be surprised when it happens. We should not be shoccked and dismayed when wicked people attack us for dong what's right. the problem in today's Aemerica

Toward the very end, I mention the almost universal contempt for reform on the part of Democrats. I don't like it when one party or the other beccomes branded as the epitome of evil. But in today's world, it has become very difficult to avoid that. The Democrat party has become deeply hostile to people of moral conviction.

And the Republican party has been much more supportive to people who are open about their Christian belief. And that kindness to people of faith is, I believe, a big part of why God has blessed the Republicans in recent years. But we should not measure ourselves against ourselves. We should always allow ourselves to be measured against God's standard. In that sense, I am afraid that America is a civilization in decline. I'm kinda discouraged about America right now. But even though I thought I understood what is developing in America, the sheer wickedness of this attack on these reformers has shocked me. It's at times like this that we need Paul's reminder that we wrestle not against flesh and blood.

After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.

The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.

Again—and I can't say this with enough emphasis—constructive criticism should be welcomed. No government should be above criticism. We need thoughtful pointers from righteous people, not only to correct mistakes, but to keep them from happening in the first place.

But this blind rage we see directed at any attempt to fix corrupt systems—this is evil. Pure evil. These are wicked people inspired and controled by the demons of darkness. We should not be amazed when wicked people behave wickedly.
