Anybody playing identity politics is wrong, no matter which side you are on, proved by Pat Powers using Cory Heidelberger's racist based cultural Neo-Marxism

Pat Powers goes after Lora Hubbel for being a racist:

It seems we have a morning every once in a while where we find ourselves going “Oh God. Lora Hubbel really did that,” and we’re recoiling in horror over her saying something horribly insane or horribly offensive. Or as we’re finding this morning, both.

...

“SD’s Pocahontas – the man is a Dutchman pretending to be an Indian”  Jesus wept. She’s trying to insinuate he isn’t Native American?

He is an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux tribe, lives on the Rosebud Indian reservation, and represents them in the legislature. I’m a Republican, and anyone besides Lora can easily say that there’s nothing false about his heritage.

Identity politics is where the race-baiting cultural Neo-Marxist worldview has taken us. From a Biblical Christian worldview, we should understand that there is one race, the human race. Heinert's heritage should be irrelevant. But sadly the political activists are now distracted from the issue of how corruption has been festering in South Dakota. The important lesson to learn here is that the liberal Democrats are supporting the continuation of the corrupt practices ant that puts then on commn ground with the liberal Republican Establishment. Lora Hubbel's mistake was the decision to play identity politics with these racists. The result is finger pointing, personal attacks, and these have been coming from all sides of South Dakota's political arena over the years.

 What we are lacking is grace:

Through one blood (the sacrifice of Christ), God is calling people from every tribe and language and people and nation to create a new family by grace to the praise of His glory.

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

—Revelation 7:9–10; NIV

The apostle John, isolated on the Greek island of Patmos, had been given a vision of the future—a revelation—of what was to come. Before his mind a picture of phenomenal magnitude was unfolding; a gathering in heaven in which the multitudes of humanity (from every people group) stood together as one unified body worshiping Jesus Christ, their Lord and their Savior:

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9; NKJV).

Through one blood (the sacrifice of Christ), God is calling people from every tribe and language and people and nation to create a new family by grace to the praise of His glory. In heaven, the celestial city will be a cosmopolitan society void of the sin of the first Adam. There will be no night, for the Lord himself will be their light. Every tear will be wiped away, and the grace of God and the Lord Jesus Christ will reign.

This is our future. This is the destiny of the Church—and the Church today can be an earthly preview of this heavenly reality.

Do we dare to dream that the Church can move beyond divisions of Darwinian “race” relations to the unity of grace relations? Loving relationships united by the Cross and governed by the Bible lead to reconciliation. Such relationships among Christians across cultural and ethnic backgrounds are like a neon sign publicizing that grace has transformed and identified us as followers of Christ (John 13:34–35).

Pat Powers shows he doesn't get it as he follows up with his racist attack after Lora Hubbell for clearly saying this Biblical truth:

" I say dividing peoole by race is racist. we are all PEOPLE not races."

Lora understands Biblical point of view, there is just one race that originates from Adam and Eve. She is not the racist, but those who are attacking her based on race are. That would include Troy Heinert, who made this comment. And also the anti-American Brandon Ecoffey, who promotes Indian supremacy, as he promotes Indian tribal nationhood and sovereignty, and then calls Lora a Nazi. The idea that we are all "people" and not separate races,  is the very message of Ken Ham's One Race One Blood:

Discover the origin of people groups (there is only one race), the genetics of skin color, and biblical truths on “interracial” marriage. This fascinating book explores racism and its roots in the hearts and minds of millions.

Most people do not realize how intimately connected the popular idea of evolution and the worst racist ideology in history are. Ken Ham and Dr. Charles Ware reveal the compelling history of the effect of an evolution-based belief system on the history of the United States, including slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, and abortion. They go beyond politically-correct speech to show the tragic global harvest of death and tragedy that stems from Darwin’s controversial beliefs.

• Uncover the the origin of the word race and the tragic legacy of Darwin’s theory.
• Discover the disturbing connection between evolutionary thought and the most ruthless (and bloody) dictators in history.
• Join an eye-opening discussion on racism and its roots in the hearts and minds of millions.
• Step beyond the legal precedents to find the true solution in the Bible—one that resolves this issue in the hearts of mankind.

The biggest mistake that one can make when running for office is to tell a bunch of deceived citizens the truth. If you really want to win, you have to tell people what they want to hear.  You have to be willing to perpetuate lies. The political system has been corrupted due to lies that are fostered on children via public education. Evolution is one of the biggest lies. It builds the foundation for the indoctrination in college by cultural Neo-Marxists, where race is used to divide and conquer. So we have people guilty of what they are accusing others of doing. Jesus was quick to point out the hypocrisy of the people's leaders.

In South Dakota, the resulting identity politics ends up distracting us from the truth...which is both party establishments are part of the corruption that has been exposed by GearUp-gate. In Gear Up we have the Democrat's special interest on the take, along with SDGOP operatives. The only sane idea would be elimination of as many federal programs as possible, but that would be too conservative.

True conservatives are fighting an up hill battle, as the SDGOP establishment is trying to separate itself from true conservatives. Truth to power will not work when the masses lack discernment. And that truth should never be spoken by one who is serious about winning an election. I don't know if Lora is serious about winning, but if so, she needs to stop telling people the truth. They will never get it. Pat Powers just demonstrated that truth. 

There is one thing that we all good use more of, and that would be grace. But first we have to reject the lies fostered by the system, work on adopting a Biblical Christian worldview, and then obtain the ability to discern truth from lies.

Good goddess, you're a hypocrite, Steve. Your entire post reeks of tribalism and name-calling. South Dakota deserves you and your christianic bent.

[Steve Sibson]

Larry, are you having a problem dealing with you and I being of the same race?

[larry kurtz]

We're all Africans, Steve; but Republican is just another word for earth hater. After Powers throws you off his sidebar i won't need you need anymore.

[Steve Sibson]

Larry, I thought Pat and I cut a deal where I would not go after his liberal position if he keeps me on his sidebar. You must not have read the title of this post that says both sides are wrong. And since you have picked a side Larry...you are wrong, yet again.

[larry kurtz]

South Dakota is one big Lake Mitchell, Steve: putrid and dying. Read the comment from Laurisa at Cory's blog, Sibby. You're a christian like Pat Powers is a yoga instructor.

Larry, by basing your Christian opinion on a false teacher like Laurisa, it shows that you don't have a clue as to what Christianity is about.

[larry kurtz]

In your opinion, Steve.

The history of christianity is rife with paternal idolatry and the adoration of women as breeders only leading some of us to believe you are completely subservient to your wife just as you were to your mother. That you use this forum to vent your frustration with your own history of being pussy whipped is abundantly clear.

You're a miserable sinner, Steve: something we pagans abandon on our paths to self-actualization.

[larry kurtz]

There are times when you seem capable of being something more than this, Steve, times when some us believe in you. Your suffering often speaks to a less haughty time after winter knocks you down and drives you into that last pew when faith just ain't enough.

Leaving Mitchell during a South Dakota winter for a place where the suffering is not so acute is not a sin.

Think about it.

Disagree with a Leftist and you're a racist. We are all racists. I'm a racist, you're a racist and Trump's a racist bigot. When racist, Nazi or Islamophobic get thrown out at every chance, they stop meaning anything. This is also happening when attempting to define claims of sexual harassment, assault and rape.

Identity politics is crushing Democrats' ability to hold their base and persuade potential voters. It's disappointing to watch it spill into the Republican's camp. The attacks on Hubbel and others won't stop. It'll get worse as the race for Governor heats up.
