WHAT’S ON WHAT’S UP TODAY:

Take $500 from a worker and give $100 to five who do not work.

Outcome: you lose 1 vote but gain 5.

Margaret Thatcher said it best: Socialism works until you run out of everybody else’s money.

When we say socialism doesn’t work, we are wrong.

Socialism works. It delivers exactly what it promises: equality amongst the masses.

Mark Lanier continues with No Condemnation in Christ Jesus.

Pastor Jarrett Stephens: are you fired up to be used by Christ?

Prayer for today:
Father God,
In the stops and starts of life today, be so very close.
As I faithfully obey, may I see your divine fingerprints in all that is around me.
Lord Jesus, fill me with your peace.… More below

REASONS TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

A testimonial by Dennis Prager reads: “I read it twice.”

On the front cover is this from President Donald Trump: “A great book for your reading enjoyment.”

A New York Times bestselling author, Katie Pavlich, states: “The most efficient way to learn about the issues that Democrats really care about. This is a must-read.”

The title of this must-get, must-read, must-give to those on the fence: “Reasons to Vote for Democrats.”

Yep, just under reading the Bible, this is next on the list. If the pages were numbered, it would run close to 200 pages. It is an easy, quick read and very memorable. Each page is basically blank. There are NO reasons printed to ever vote for Democrats. Order your copy today. Proudly display it in your home or office. Everyone who sees it and reads the title will pick it up and flip through all the empty pages. Their reaction will tell you immediately where they stand. Make note, for now you know who to take with you when you vote.

SOCIALISM DELIVERS EXACTLY WHAT IT PROMISES

Discussed by John Horvat
with Return to Order www.ReturnToOrder.org

Part 1 of 2

Have we argued against Socialism from the wrong perception? We say socialism does not work, but Socialism actually delivers exactly what it promises.

Today, John Horvat offers a different perspective we must learn – and learn quickly. John is a scholar, researcher, educator, international speaker, and author of “Return to Order”.

Click here to read John Horvat’s article on this very important topic. And don’t forget to share it on social media!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Does Socialism have a renewed appeal among voters not only in America, but around the world?

Has Socialism become the wave of the future?

Conservatives incorrectly try to win the argument by stating “Socialism does not work.” However, does Socialism deliver exactly what it promises?

How did a trip to Poland convince John Horvat that Socialism actually works? John discusses the obvious, blatant differences in certain areas of Poland.

Does Socialism reward laziness and encourage theft in the redistribution of wealth?

PART 2 OF 2 - SOCIALISM DELIVERS EXACTLY WHAT IT PROMISES

Discussed by John Horvat
with Return to Order www.ReturnToOrder.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What does Socialism promise to the masses? Does Socialism deliver exactly what it promises?

What does a Free-Market (Capitalist) system produce? What does a Marxist system produce? John Horvat explains the stark differences.

Is the aim of Marxism to redistribute wealth until everyone is completely “equal”?

How should Conservatives approach the topic of Socialism with those who support it? How do we change our message? John Horvat has some great suggestions.

BOTTOM LINE: Socialism produces exactly what it promises: gray alleys of despair, identical blocks of apartments, godless societies, and depraved morals.
