Socialism Divides House

There are a lot of "tough" votes in Congress which good people can disagree on. But a vote last week condemning socialist tyranny has raised some serious questions about why 86 congressmen voted not to do so.

House Concurrent Resolution 9 had no force of law. It simply repeated the history of socialist regimes that "time and time again collapsed into Communist regimes, totalitarian rule and brutal dictatorships."

The resolution pointed out that "many of the greatest crimes in history were committed by socialist ideologues, including Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, and Nicolás Maduro."

In fact, socialism has "repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide."

JDFI is glad to see the resolution passed by a vote of 328 to 86, with 14 representatives voting "present." All House Republicans voted to condemn socialist tyranny. But Democrats were split right down the middle, 109 voted for the resolution while 100 refused to do so, 86 voting "no" and 14 others voting "present."

The American people have generally opposed socialism, but recent polling indicates younger generations are more sympathetic to it compared to America's free market system. This is no doubt more evidence that our schools are not teaching accurate history.

From communist China to significant areas of the Islamic world, Christians are harassed by governments and threatened by mobs. Apparently, now Christians in Ypsilanti, Michigan, USA, have to think twice about gathering to celebrate the birth of Christ.

Biden’s Godless Thanksgiving

All of us at JDFI hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Thanksgiving traces its roots back to the pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Our first President, George Washington, issued the Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789, which described in its opening sentence what the occasion was all about. President Washington wrote: "Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor…"
