Pride and Illegitimacy

The 2020 elections call the legitimacy of the Democrats—their presidential candidate and those down ballot, as well—into question.

n the 10th chapter of Ecclesiastes we read, “The beginning of human pride is to forsake the Lord; the heart has withdrawn from its Maker. For the beginning of pride is sin; and the one who clings to it pours out abominations. The Lord overthrows the thrones of rulers; and enthrones the lowly in their place.”

Since time immemorial humans have tried—through their own arrogance and supposed knowledge—to supplant the all-knowing God to become godlike.

It is first recorded in the early chapters of Genesis with a tempting bite from the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

Over and over again, in biblical literature and in subsequent history, we find the same aberrant phenomenon repeating itself.

That’s why in Judaism, pride was called “the root of all evil.” It is as if we never learn.

Since the violent terror of the French Revolution, man has thrown off any semblance of normative, God-given rules and exerted—a pure lust for power.

The Left, oftentimes under the guise of so-called liberal enlightenment, tries to “immanentize the eschaton”—to bring their definition of heaven to earth. We saw this most vividly in the 2020 U.S. election and the false promises made by the Democrats and their compliant, senile, illegitimate leader.

In political theory, this means trying to bring about the final, heaven-like stage of history in the present fallen world.

In any context, it means attempting to make that which belongs to the afterlife happen here and now—on earth.

In other cases, it means killing God altogether or denying His very existence.

In the process, instead, what we find is modern history littered with movements, leaders and ideologies that, as the poet William Blake shouted, “‘More! More!’ is the cry of a mistaken soul; less than All cannot satisfy Man.”

In the 20th century alone more than 120 million lives were lost in wars and campaigns started by the Left: national socialism, Communism, genocides, revolutions, and various “liberations.” This year we commemorated the start of the last such world war in Poland.

The Left never has enough power.

We also heard the chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) was very enthused by the fact that religion is on the wane in America and that the secularist persuasion has endorsed and embraced the increasingly leftist Democratic Party.

The Republicans, too God-fearing, evangelical, and anti-revolutionary, are to be banished and censored in the latest pride of the Left.

The Left has clear ambition to wipe out all transcendent faiths as the “opium of the people,” as Karl Marx termed them.

His ardent follower, Vladimir Lenin, called for a leftist revolution by the “vanguard of the proletariat,” to take hold of all history.

Listen to some of the Democrats’ voices over the years, demonstrating the ominous pride of the Left:

... In overt actions to steal the election from the rightful winners and insert their lame duck, senile cut-out, the Left has manufactured the greatest pride of all—a corrupting of power that Lord Acton himself predicted years ago in his famous dictum: absolute power corrupts absolutely.
