(PNN) PPSIMMONS News and Ministry Network: STOP USING THE WORDS FASCIST AND RACIST

by Rev. Joda Collins

What is Fascism?

It depends on who you ask and/or read. Some state Fascism is strongly approving of an elected Presidents social or economic proposals. Some state Fascism is being forced to follow the demands of a dictator. Some believe Fascism is living under a system that confiscates a significant percent of a person's earnings to re-distribute to the ruling class and the poor while others swear it is living in a system that allows the earner to keep most of his or her earnings thus a system that does not care about poor people. Some claim the United States Democrat positions are Fascist. Democrats use the word Fascist to identify any Republican.

Likewise, Democrats use the word racists to identify any Republican. Some define a racist as any person who will not give up their possessions to someone of another skin color just because the other person is of another skin color. Others, define racists as a white person who does not pay money to a black person because slavery was once legal in the US southern states.

If you believe in the extreme value of the Constitution of the United States and protecting our rights and freedoms outlined therein, show respect to our Flag, honor our military or police, go to church or synagogue, obey the 10 Commandments or celebrate the 4th of July you are open to the charge from Democrats of being a Fascist and/or a racist. Why is this true? It is true because Democrats are hate-filled people. Above all they hate America. They hate the founding Fathers. They hate the Constitution. They hate that America has a powerful standing military that keeps us safe from our enemies. They hate that we are protected by the police and law. They hate all that is good and godly about America. They want to turn America into a third world country. That is why Democrats are enemies of America. The enemy is among us, in the halls of Congress and in the White House.

The word Fascist has become like the word racism. It has degraded to a politically-charged word with no real-life/real-world meaning. Mostly, is just a word Democrats throw around to try to discredit and destroy those with views unlike their own.

World peace to the Communist means world-wide Communism. World peace to others means the absence of blood-wars. To others world peace means all of the people in the world are free from oppression. The term "world peace" is meaningless because it is defined differently by so many. Everyone knows that and that is why, unlike during the 1960's and 1970's, no one uses those two words in consecutive order any more.

Racist has lost clear meaning. Stop using it. When others use it demand they define it as they intend it to be understood. Likewise, for the word Fascist.

Rather than using the word Fascist or Fascism define, expand and clarify what you mean. Say, "He strongly supports (or does not support) the policies of the President" or "He believes in confiscating (or not confiscating) most of a person's earnings for redistribution to those who will not work." Be clear in your communication. Do NOT attempt to express your opinion using words you know many or most others might define differently. Say or write what you mean! For example, why would you state, "That person is noble when it comes to ordering food." What do you mean by noble in relationship to a restaurant menu? And, do not allow others to throw around words that have vastly different meanings to others. Confront them about it.

My commentary (paraphrase) on 1 Corinthians 14:6 through 12 reads:

Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking without clarity, what shall my words profit you. Even things without life giving sound such as a wind pipe or a harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? For example, if the trumpet (signifying an attack is coming) gives an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for the battle? So likewise ye, unless you use words that are easy to understand, how shall it be known what you mean? You are just speaking into the air and creating confusion. There are many voices in the world, and none of them is without some kind of motivation. If I do not know the speaker's meaning of the words he uses, I am unable to understand him. If I use words that are hard to define and understand, others do not know what I am saying. If you are zealous about anything, speak clearly so you can educate, inform and rightly influence with your words.

The Bible is a wonderful book. It has simple solutions to solve every problem. That is one reason the Democrat Party hates the Bible. The Democrat Party loves to create problems, not solve problems. That is why they use rhetoric that add to and stirs the pot of hate, division and confusion. Two of those words are Fascist and racist. Stop using them and demand others define what they mean by them when they use them. Doing that, soon Democrats will stop using them. Democrats do not like to clarify, because clarification exposes them as hate-filled, arrogant, ignorant and antagonistic people.
