The Left is obsessed with color. And as if skin color were not flimsy enough, they are now obsessed with archaic makeup color. Since Darwin’s crazy theories, the world has had to deal with the pseudoscience of evaluating people by their skin pigmentation. This is not the first crazy idea in this vein, there was also the science of evaluating people by their head shape, Phrenology. But the Darwinian concept is still attractive because it gets people off the hook with their creator. It’s like filing off the serial number on your car and peeling off the company markings. Now your car just happened. That factory in Detroit had nothing to do with it. Now you are free to do whatever you want with it. General Motors recommends you change the oil every 3000 miles, but who do they think they are? “My car just happened.” “I can do whatever I want with it, including calling it a bicycle.” “I change the oil whenever I want too.” And when the motor blows up you blame the Christians, because your car is black and that’s a minority paint option. Let me know when we are allowed to evaluate people by the content of their character. You know, what used to be called justice, people found guilty of a crime are punished. Everyone else is left alone regardless of what group they are part of.
Black and White, Green and Red, all come together.
The Left is also obsessed with the color green. Green New Deal anyone? This too is joined to a phony science, they call it ‘man-made global cooling, warming, climate change’. It doesn’t matter what’s on the inside of plans or legislation called green, what matters is that it says green on the outside. Because again Liberals only want to go skin deep to obfuscate the reality of the character within. “Making America Great Again” is assumed to be a cover for something sinister because that’s what they do. Even though the character below the MAGA veneer, is about making your country better by every actual metric; more jobs, more economic mobility, more actual mobility. Meanwhile, behind the green titles, lies the total destruction of everything that everyone would have to admit they value. And there is nothing new about it.
Red is a color too, but red is a color that reveals, it reveals the authoritarian destruction of freedom for what it is. Senator Joe McCarthy labeled people red, because they were. Russian records have made it clear, Alger Hiss was a Communist. Hiss sought to undermine the freedoms recognized in the American Constitution. His influence led to legislation enacted toward that end. The record of Communism is clear, and so the Liberals must paint it over with a new coat of shiny green paint.
Liberals enabling bad character have coined the term oreo to refer to a person with dark skin who decides to be a productive member of society. He is white on the inside and black on the outside, because wanting a good education and a good job is what white people do. I remember the first time I heard this term, I was just appalled. It reveals the issue of hiding bad content of character, while pretending that the skin colors matter to your opponents. But I like this new term watermelon. It’s pointing out that green is the new red. The green rind just conceals the same old red elitist fruit. Looking for humanist government concoctions, to replace God-given rules for the organization of men on this sinful planet. Trying desperately to put their faith in this false god, which has destroyed a hundred million people. It’s that same old apple in the garden presented by the snake. Let’s assume it was a green apple concealing the bloody red fall of all humanity on the inside. It was shiny and pleasant to look at. And paired with the false promises of utopia, it seemed like something Eve should eat. So she did. Fortunately the coating on this Green New Deal wasn’t shiny enough to fool anyone, but all the bills they push every day are.
What a stark contrast to our heavenly father wanting to gather his children as a hen gathers her chicks. The snake broke into the garden climbing over the wall. But our father, or maker, comes in through the gate. He offers us the instruction manual to—ourselves. He made us. The snake pretends the green apple isn’t bloody death on the inside. Jesus calls things what they are “you brood of vipers”, to warn his people. And yet most reject him. The record of his faithfulness is as clear as the failed history of Collectivism and all the other ’ism’. He cares for us. Those who seek to be his people and love him as he loved us have flourished and caused everyone around them to flourish too.
