Tweets 4 Truth

The secret is out: I am a Tweep. Which is to say, I am active on Twitter. Facebook holds no appeal for me. Never got into MySpace either. Of course I'm sold on blogging. But when I discovered Twitter and figured out what it was all about, I was hooked.

What intrigues me about Twitter is the endless dialog condensed into 140-character "tweets" that can be read and digested in a few seconds. Often included are helpful links that lead to more lengthy and even more compelling reading.

Twitter involves "following" -- and being followed by -- others. You follow those whose tweets you think you might find interesting or enlightening. With few exceptions, and for obvious reasons, I primarily follow and am followed by staunch conservatives and fellow Christians.

I mean, if you're not conservative or a Christian, you're not going to want to read my tweets for very long. So of my 2,062 (at this writing) Twitter followers, almost all are on the same page politically and many are of like faith.

Of course, as with anything else, there is the odd anomaly.

Libs are like vampires. They love darkness and death, run screaming from light and the cross of Christ.

Some days I am particularly inspired to tweet my feelings about liberalism. I know: big surprise; right? Bwaaaaahaha. Today was one such day. I began with this tweet, which occurred to me while I was in the shower:

Conservatism: Live and Let Live. Liberalism: Die and Make Die.

Warming to my topic, that tweet was followed by these in more or less rapid succession:

Liberalism is the collective embodiment of the expression "Misery Loves Company."

Conservatism tends to achievement, happiness, and life. Liberalism tends to degradation, misery, and death.

Women & children are elevated & protected by conservatism but enslaved & embattled by liberalism.

Men are demeaned & emasculated by liberalism but are empowered & made more virile by conservatism.

I was getting my fair share of re-tweets -- that's when people like what you tweeted and re-post it for the benefit of their followers -- and so naturally I waxed eloquent.

Liberals defend terrorists beause liberals ARE terrorists. They threaten life daily in every corner of society.

When it comes to conservatism, as in everything else, you need to either get in or get out. There's not much middle ground.

Know how you know liberalism is a lie? It rejects God. God is truth. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."

At this juncture I began to hear from a few libs who, though they do not follow me and as such would not ordinarily have the pleasure of reading my tweets, got a peek at them through the miracle of re-tweeting. As you might imagine, their tweets back to me were angry and laden with profanity.

That's when one of my followers, who describes himself as conservative but an atheist, directed this tweet to me:

>>>> got some play w/ that one the libs r screaming <<<<

He was referring to my tweet about liberals defending terrorists because they are themselves terrorists. So I replied:

Libs are like vampires. They love darkness and death, run screaming from light and the cross of Christ.

I continued:

Anyone who would murder EVEN ONE defenseless baby while defending EVEN ONE Islamic terrorist, is himself a TERRORIST.

Liberalism rejects faith-based morality -- or ANY sort of morality -- in favor of godless secular humanism.

Then I heard from my atheist friend again:

>>>> I run from cross 2 but not the light of day what does make me? <<<<

And the only answer I could think of was:

Lost.

I followed that tweet with this one:

Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Those who reject Him walk in darkness. Politics don't enter into it.

We are born sinners & must obtain forgiveness & sonship thru the shed blood of Christ, our sinless Savior.

Then I heard again from one of the angry liberals:

>>>> Abortion is a choice what makes u think u have the right 2 tell someone else what 2 do with their body? <<<<

To which I responded:

Abortion is murder of an innocent human being. What makes you think anyone has the right to do that?

Sadly, that was the end of that discussion because I didn't hear from her again. But did hear from my atheist tweep:

>>>> The fact that U believe I'm the one that is lost because I don't believe what U believe is very telling about U open ur eyes <<<<

I hoped I hadn't made an enemy of him. I tweeted:

My eyes are wide open, my friend. I made a decision long ago to accept the truth. I am a sinner saved by grace.

And then:

BTW it has nothing to do with your believing what I believe. It has to do with believing God and His Word.

He responded:

>>>> I believe in the bad in all ppl not just libs. The bad nature of all ppl <<<<

So I said:

True. We are born sinners & must obtain forgiveness & sonship thru the shed blood of Christ, our sinless Savior.

And he said:

>>>> I don't have problem w/ ur belief but u seem have a problem w/ my no belief <<<<

I replied:

I don't "have a problem" with your unbelief. I simply point out that you are in need of the Savior, as am I and everyone else.

And he replied:

>>>> One thing u r right about me is I am a born SINNER & luv it & want my freedom 2 do it. No offence intended. <<<<

And I assured him:

None taken, my friend. You were created by God a free agent. I'm praying for you today.

He responded politely:

>>>> Thx maybe it will help but I dought it thx though <<<<

I'm still praying for the man who wrote that. And although I don't think he'll see it because I doubt he reads my blog, after exchanging those tweets with him this morning, this song has continually played in my mind. I'm so glad I know what it means and I pray that someday he will too.

And I'll go on tweeting the truth as long as Jesus lets me.

Any doubts that the far right are nothing but uneducated, loony religious nut-cases, has been confirmed!

[rosezilla]

I am rejoicing with you that you had an opportunity to be a witness. We never know who is watching us, esp. now with the internet. I don't twitter, need to be careful I don't add even more computer time to my day :) One thing you said reminded me of something locally. There was a Planned Parenthood ruckus, and because a few people went to quietly pray on the sidewalk outside, one lady got all upset and got on the news and said the people peacefully protesting by praying were terrorists! NOT the people inside killing babies for profit - the people outside praying! Amazing.

@ YAAF ... I'm glad your doubts have been confirmed, although I wasn't even sure that was possible. Can one "confirm" a doubt? Sounds like an oxymoron. Or maybe just a moron. On the bright side, if you do have doubt, there is still hope.

As for me, any doubt that still remained (and there wasn't much) that the left is a profane, godless, heartless, murderous bunch of losers and liars, has been totally removed. Barack Obama was the last (albeit superfluous) nail in your coffin.

@ Tracie ... Oh, I know. Kill a baby in America, you're a big hero at best and a do-gooder at least. Protest the killing of a baby, you're a terrorist at worst and a nut at best. We've come a long way, right? Right ... in the WRONG direction.

I found your blog via The Liberty Sphere - thank you for your unabashed stand for our Savior. I'm going to add you to my blogroll. (My blog is Way Up North - www.mooseintheyard.blogspot.com) Tried to add it to the ID portion, but it wouldn't let me.

I pray God continues to provide opportunities for your witness.

[Audrey]

What a great opportunity you had to be a bold witness today. I didn't know that there were atheists who were also politically conservative. Very interesting.

[Jennifer]

@ Rev. Paul ... thank you so much for your courtesy to me! And thank you for your prayers.

@ Audrey ... I know; it seems strange to me too, that some would reject Christ but be honest enough to see the lies contained in liberal thinking.

[rosezilla]

For some reason I keep chuckling to myself over your first response. I am glad she had doubts, at least, that we were those things. And I'm so glad that now, since the doubts were confirmed, she knows we are NOT those things. And I'm really glad she's so well educated...

[Jennifer]

@ Tracie ... my answer to that commenter was actually tongue-in-cheek as I don't think he/she meant to say it that way. I guess I was being the mean girl again, poking fun at someone's faulty syntax. It's a moot point, however, as said commenter has been banned from this web site for coming back and accusing me and my ilk of killing the census worker in Kentucky, and for saying some very unkind things to Rev. Paul. Not gonna put up wif dat y'all.

[Skunkfeathers]

Personally, I think you have liberals pegged dead-on.
