Rule 13 of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

In light of the SPLC’s funding of right-wing extremist groups to the tune of millions of dollars, along with yet another assassination attempt of President Trump, we’re reminded that the modern Left is playing by Saul Alinsky’s rules to a tee.

Manufacture division/fund your opposition, flood the zone with polarized rhetoric, and accuse the other side of being Nazis. All while subtly encouraging your base to take up arms and inflict violence against the other side.

After being caught, they then deflect and claim that Jimmy Kimmel calling the First Lady an “expectant widow” is just a joke.

Whatever happened to comedy, guys? Matthew 7:16 tells us, “By their fruit you will recognize them.”

The fruit of the modern Left is becoming increasingly clear. Political violence, hateful rhetoric, and most importantly, anti-Christian ideology, are required to be a modern-day leftist.

Now, I’m by no means claiming the right is squeaky clean. Believe me. I’m as big a critic of the bad apples on my side as anyone, including when President Trump himself falls short. But there’s a difference between splinters and a party platform.

Cole Allen was not a crazy rogue activist. Neither was Tyler Robinson. They’re a result of constant indoctrination from the Left that the ends justify the means, and bloodshed is just a formality when it comes to “saving our democracy”.

All you have to do is read Allen’s manifesto, along with Robinson’s confession to his boyfriend. Both stated clearly that they felt the need to kill to further their agenda. Charlie Kirk’s Christian message was just far too hateful; he needed to be murdered in cold blood.

The cherry on top is the SPLC, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s, now public funding of the same right-wing groups they claimed to be fighting against for years. According to the SPLC’s own website, “Civil rights lawyers Morris Dees and Joseph Levin Jr. founded the SPLC in 1971 to ensure that the promise of the civil rights movement became a reality for all.

Since then, we’ve won numerous landmark legal victories on behalf of the exploited, the powerless and the forgotten.”

But yet, they funded the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” riot in 2017. They then tried to link Trump’s “fine people on both sides” comment to right-wing extremism by taking it out of context, after funding the same right-wing extremists they claimed Trump was supporting.

Are you starting to get it?

The Ku Klux Klan, along with Nazi organizations, were also propped up substantially by the SPLC to manufacture hate. What does this mean? This means that the SPLC, with an endowment of over $730 million dollars in 2024, didn’t see enough hate from the “enemies” they tell their followers to fight against, and therefore bankrolled extremists to manufacture division.

Saul Alinsky would be proud.

Now, they’ll claim that they were paying infiltrators to gather information on how to effectively defeat these groups. Baloney. This was nothing but propping up hate and sowing division in America to implement your leftist agenda.

This is the modern Left, and they must be defeated. Not by the sword, but politically. It’s time for Republicans to step up. Whether it’s redrawing your maps after the latest SCOTUS ruling against the VRA, passing the SAVE America Act to secure our elections, or getting porn out of kids’ libraries.

If these individuals who want to kill us gain power, America will fall into the depths of modern Leftism. And no, this isn’t driving up political rhetoric.

It’s confronting an unfortunate reality. There’s a growing faction in this nation that is willing to kill over ideology.

Just as it’s written in the book of Matthew, the fruits being borne by Leftism are violence and hate. I’m not calling you to be a Republican; I’m calling you to be a light for Christ against the presence of evil.

Don’t let the cowards intimidate us with violence; stand up in the name of Christ and fight back peacefully.
