Jim DeMint, the chief of the Conservative Partnership Institute and a former U.S. senator from South Carolina, says the decline of America stems from the “death of truth.”
Article by Bob Unruh from WND.
DeMint now has written, “Satan’s Dare” and commented on the nation’s status, and its future, in a commentary at Real Clear Religion.
“Truth is the core principle of Judeo-Christian values, which are the foundation of Western civilization. Judeo-Christian values are derived from the Bible. And the Christian church is the only custodian of the Bible. If you want to know the reason for the death of truth in America, look no further than the decline of Bible-based Christianity,” he wrote.
He cited a time when he and his wife visited a church on Easter Sunday, and heard a stunner from the preacher.
“After describing the miraculous and incredible resurrection of Jesus, the pastor concluded it didn’t matter if it was actually true – only that we believed it was true. I was reminded of that sermon this Easter when Senator Raphael Warnock from Georgia – a pastor himself – issued a since-deleted tweet that read, ‘The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves,'” DeMint explained.
“Nothing could be more anti-Christian or illogical. Paul, writing in 1 Corinthians 15:17-19, said, ‘And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.'”
The former senator explained the obvious, “What we believe about truth does not change what is true. What we believe about reality does not change what is real. There is no greater example of arrogance and self-worship than to assume whatever we believe is true and real. Yet, that is precisely the prevailing view in America today – even in the Christian church.”
He said, “Men identify as women and – miraculously – men are women. The media tells us America is racist and – without any facts to support the claim – anyone who suggests otherwise is canceled. Politicians misrepresent election integrity legislation by states designed to make it harder to cheat, and big corporations genuflect with boycotts of those states, justifying their actions with deliberate lies. And the threat of COVID-19 was misrepresented and exaggerated with more lies to allow politicians to take control of our lives and livelihoods,” he said.
He said his novel addresses this issue.
“Christians – in fact, all thinking people – need to ask the hard questions and seek the answers that will expose the truth and confirm their faith,” he said. “Western Civilization is in decline because the Christian church is in decline. The church is in decline because it has become unmoored from truth – following the culture instead of leading it.”
YouTube, Spotify, and other Big Tech platforms are taking Freedom First Network down
It’s no secret we speak our minds and bring on guests who do the same. That’s one of the biggest reasons we put together the Freedom First Network in the first place. There are far too many news outlets, including so-called “conservative” media companies, who are so beholden to Big Tech that they temper their perspectives at best and outright coverup the truth at worst. Many, as you all know, will blatantly lie in order to maintain the narrative that supports the radical agenda taking over much of the United States.
We have had our YouTube channel taken down. Many of our shows have been suppressed or removed by Facebook and Twitter. Spotify banned one of our shows completely from their platform. Google hates us. We’ve even been censored by some of the smaller players like Medium, Transistor, and Captivate. But we stand behind our reporting and perspectives and we refuse to bow down to Big Tech tyranny for the sake of pageviews or video plays.
This isn’t the easiest road to travel, especially for a media company that is so new. We launched Freedom First Network in 2020 to fight against the very censorship that we’re seeing so widespread today. We have found great homes for our content on freer speech platforms like Rumble and we’re putting our best efforts forward into building our presence on Locals. Nevertheless, we cannot do it alone. We need help.
One of the things cofounders Jeff Dornik and JD Rucker agreed to from the start was to never be the pawns of companies that do not embrace our worldview. Finding advertisers and affiliates is easy; we receive requests by companies wanting to be pushed on our shows every day. But it’s important to us that we’re promoting companies, services, and products that are beneficial to maintaining a Freedom First stance in America. As a result, we do not take on sponsors easily. We would rather rely on our own products like Freedom First Coffee and the support of our wonderful viewers, listeners, and readers.
Those who want to support us and help keep the fight for America’s future moving forward can do so by donating through our Locals page. There, you can donate monthly or one-time. Some have told us to use Patreon or GoFundMe, but both of those platforms have demonstrated a hatred for free speech. Locals does not. They embrace it. We encourage everyone to join us on Locals, but donations are greatly appreciated as well. We do not have day jobs. Our fight for freedom is a full-time gig.
Please feel free to reach out to us through our contact form. It goes directly to our founders, so if you’re interested in getting involved, investing, sponsoring, or even bringing a show to our network, let us know. May God Bless the United States of America!
