America is fast heading down the slippery slope of communism. Call it what you will—communism, socialism, fascism, democratic socialism, liberal democrat, whatever—these are all different shades of tyranny, cousins of the same family. One need look no further than Cuba and compare what is happening in America to see how far America has journeyed toward communism.

The very foundation of American liberty rests in the First Amendment guarantees of freedoms of speech and religion. What we see in Cuba is the targeting of religious leaders because they speak out against the communist regime. Why? Because communism requires replacing God with government. It’s atheist and ruthlessly so.

Peaceful protests against the Cuban communist regime have ended in the brutality against protesters, especially religious leaders. The Communist Party of Cuba is an explicitly atheist institution; it inhibits all religious worship while deceptively tying communism to Catholicism by promoting late dictator Fidel Castro’s ties to nominally Catholic but functionally Marxist liberation theologists.

The Miami Herald reported on April 23, 2006, that Fidel Castro was responsible for 31,173 executions and prison deaths since he took power in 1959. Some 5,728 were killed by firing squads. He refused medical attention to those trying to escape the island by boat, resulting in another estimated 77,000 deaths. Nearly all the sources indicate an exact number of deaths caused by Castro’s regime is unattainable, with some estimating the death toll over 1.5 million.

In America, followers of Christ are not facing firing squads, but we do face the “Squad.” Breitbart reports that as of Monday afternoon, prominent leftists who promote socialism in America and their constituencies who were deceived enough to elect them to Congress were silent on the violence against protesters in Cuba.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) had not posted any social media (they usually have something to say about anything anti-Christian or anti-Jew). Joe Biden said he stands with the Cuban people but failed to denounce the violence against them by the regime.

Face it: the Democratic Party is sympathetic to communism.

Democratic Party leaders use the news media, entertainment, and corporations to do what they know they are Constitutionally prohibited from doing — censoring freedom of speech, suppressing religious expression, forcing healthcare decisions, promoting societal division, and a host of other jack-boot tactics.

If you look at Cuba today, can you see the struggle in America tomorrow?

People, these leftists attack your freedoms of speech and religion because these are the foundation of freedom. The people of Cuba know it all too well. Once freedom is lost, it is nearly impossible to regain.

We are at a tipping point. As in Ephesians 6, put on the full armor of God and pray “that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.”

We all need to rise up, or they will make the US (us) like Cuba.

Joe Biden’s violent crime speech on June 23rd was promoted for days as announcing wonderful reforms to end violent crime. It was the same old same old.

He rambled on about how gun shop owners who sell people guns without a background check are at fault; how violent crime is not the fault of city leaders whose cities have strict gun controls because criminals can buy guns in neighboring cities and states; how people released from prison don’t have tax-assisted mental and financial support, so they turn to violent crime; how gun makers should be held responsible for gun-related deaths, and so on. Biden actually said that the 2ndAmendment limited the type of people who could own a gun. WHAT?

He is the leader of a political party that facilitated the early release of violent criminals from prison, released from jail illegal immigrants who committed violent crimes; opened the borders to foreign drug- and human trafficking gangs that commit violent crime; refuses to enforce the laws and prosecute perpetrators in cities where violent riots occur and businesses are destroyed; and defunded police departments or tied their hands from enforcing the law.

Now crime has spiked tremendously, and Biden is blaming it on former President Trump. But it is in Democrat-run, stringent gun-controlled cities and states where the violent crime has taken place—Chicago, New York City, Baltimore, Portland, Seattle—just to name a few.

Biden was asked by a reporter, “Mr. President, what do you feel is the most effective thing that government can do to change the mindset of those who feel compelled to pull the triggers of these guns?”

His response was incredible. He said, “By being engaged in a whole range of programs. We talked today–everything from mental health programs to engaging people early on and letting them know there ‘is’ [sic] other options. Making sure that when a child is young, they have access to a real education, and they get started off on the right foot. Making sure that when someone gets out of prison, they’re not denied public housing, they don’t have to go back under the bridge where they were living before–that they’re able to get help for healthcare, et cetera, and re-engaging them in the neighborhood, giving them some hope, some opportunity.”

Biden talked about holding people accountable, such as gun manufacturers, police, young children, and mental health workers—certainly not the criminal or the politicians that defund the police and make their jobs impossible.

Most of all, Biden wants to hold you accountable because he wants you to pay for all the “wide range of programs,” incompetence, and blame-shifting.

Imagine taking Biden’s approach with a criminal holding a gun on you. You ask, “Did you know there are other options?” or “Do you mind if I call a social worker to assist you?”

Psalm 10:13 says, “Why do the wicked renounce God? He has said in his heart, ‘You will not require an account.'”

The wicked don’t fear God, and after hearing Biden’s plan against violent crime, the wicked know Biden and the liberals won’t hold them accountable.

Say it with me…Stupidocrisy.
