Civil War

Civil War

We are in the middle of this Civil War, not just this country but all countries. It is an ideological battle “liberal” verses conservative. We don’t seem to be able to live comfortably side by side anymore. There was a time when you didn’t speak about: sex, politics and religion, now we talk of nothing else and it is divisive.

The latest is a dis-endorsement of Australian Conservative leader, Cory Bernardi’s playlist by Spotify. The musicians also on the playlist have shown displeasure that a Conservative would use their music on an Australia Day playlist. The controversy arising because Australian Aborigines do not want Australia to celebrate Australia Day on the anniversary of when Captain Arthur Phillip’s ships sailed into what he named Sydney Cove in 1788. The country was never going to be the same, the French also were sailing around this area. Western civilization was on its way. Australia celebrates its history – good and bad – on this day, the coming together of indigenous, immigrants and citizens, the making of Australia. Do these musicians who put their music out to the public i.e. the internet, have a right to who can play it and for what reason? Are only liberals allowed to use, listen and enjoy their music? Conservatives have to be mindful who they support. It is apparent that the musicians dictate the politics of their fans.

Why are we so divided? There was a huge battle over Same Sex Marriage (SSM) redefining what traditional values have held for millennia that a man shall leave his mother and father and be united with his wife (Gen 2:24; Matt 19:1-12; Mark 10:7; Eph 5:31). The Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Act 2017 has been amended to accommodate “both parties to the marriage” and “2 people” instead of one man and one woman.

Anna Brown, the Equality Campaign  is not going to stop at marriage redefinition, there are more frontiers her campaign. They intend to rectify that transgenders must divorce first before they can change their gender on their birth certificates. MarriageAlliance said they were right to state the SSM was not the end game, it is just the beginning.

Raising concerns and going against this tidal wave of liberal activism has its costs. A contractor lost her job during the same sex marriage debate. Right wing commentators such as Ann Coulter has been banned from speaking at Universities and Milo Yiannopoulos also is banned from social media. He is proud of it, because he is an advocate of free speech and the banning illustrates profoundly with violence that the left wing or liberals do not like dissent.

President Trump who is the most powerful conservative at present is being ridiculed and slandered, the latest regarding his competency and mental capacity by the Main Stream Media (MSM). It doesn’t matter that the doctor who also looked after Obama and Bush has given Trump a “widely respected and difficult mental acuity test” and Trump scored 30 out of 30. Trump is not perfect, but who is, and conservatives should be encouraged to look further than the MSM for information.

The conservatives in this world better agree with the politics and just stop whining or we should be getting together and find common ground in all our diversity or else we will be existing in a world that does not tolerate dissension or freedom of speech. We will all be happy and agree with each other – finally World Peace. Peace at the cost of our humanity, dignity and individuality and the right to freedom of speech within the parameters of common humanity. We are at war so we have to fight for what we believe in or have it taken away by default because we thought we had too much too lose.
