Hollowell's original writing in the Washington Times is below. In my Letter to the editor I used his very words to include the MAGA party of the same delusional errors.
Dear Editor,
Billy Hollowell’s “Three lies, destroying the Democratic Party” in today's Washington Times hit the nail on the head, but each of his points also nailed the flaws of the Republican Party, the US Constitution, and why our national political system and global governance systems are failing.
I’ll use
Billy’s own words throughout, starting with “but here’s the problem”. He himself
is "overlooking a glaring reality” globally. Both parties have “made the very bed in which
it is now lying”. Both conservatives and “liberals have a truth problem. One
that permeates” each “party’s core essence.” Both have “increasingly rejected
God” as most Christians and Jews view him. Both have “embraced a
self-obsessed relativism and has evaded reality in both trivial and monumental
matters.” Fortunately, there is “a blueprint” for going “forward” and “it has
nothing to do with pencils and swords and everything to do with” “truth” decay
“and decency at every level.” It has to do with rapidly achieving the
United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals that were globally approved to
address the root causes of most our earthly problems.
“First let’s
start with” both parties “increased rejection of” objective Truths! Both have
moved “away from reliance and belief in” the genius of the Declaration of
Independence. Our nation’s founding
document that Abraham Lincoln called our ‘Apple of gold’ and our constitution
its ‘Silver Frame’. This “has created a
systemic dysfunction that pervades almost every” ‘self-evident Truth’ created
by ‘the Laws of Nature and of Nature‘s God’ which were plainly offered in the
Declaration.
Mr.
Hollowell should know that the Bible is not a real estate manual. And real “knowledge
begins” in Genesis with Jacob wrestling the Angel. His struggle was to
become the best human he could to serve God. This motivation is the
foundation of every religion, and even indigenous cultures that existed before
religions existed. And "the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and
knowledge" when using the golden rule. And “When a collective of people rejects” this
“and turns” to their personal religious or political truths that vary widely
among his 8 billion souls, “chaos follows — and that’s what we’ve seen in” all
“ policy policymaking.” At both national and international levels. “From
the” wars, genocides, pandemics, pollution of God‘s creation, and waves of
refugees - like Joseph and Mary seeking safety for their baby yet to
come.
“The
problem?” Human politics are “incompatible with reality. At some point, issues,
such as” racism, some people denying the genetic variations of sexual
preferences within any population, accelerating extinction of species, human
caused extreme weather conditions, and the mass murder of innocent people
anywhere - must be seen as an abomination of God‘s intentions.
Both parties
“have struggled with baseline honesty on” vital “matters of political
importance. The handling of the Covid" pandemic”, countering violent
extremism, our starting wars and never achieving liberty and justice for all -
anywhere. “All of these problems, boil down to eternal and
practical” objective Truths and “theological dysfunction has spilled over into
the political and policymaking realm” globally!
And, “The
best path forward is for” every political movement to prioritize the health to
all of God‘s creation, both people and nature, then “cling to reality and
simply commit to” abiding only by objective truths. Then Mr. Hollowell
final paragraph sums it up perfectly. “Sadly, all signs right now point to a
doubling down that could further dysfunction and distrust.”

Three
lies destroying the Democratic Party Democrats are apparently in panic mode as they attempt to dig themselves out of the mass political grave they haphazardly dug for themselves over the past five years. Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken
Martin recently delivered a blistering speech at the party's summer meeting,
encouraging fellow liberals to push back against President Trump. He
proclaimed that he's "sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a
pencil to a knife fight" and encouraged progressives to take back the
country. Mr. Martin's frustration is understandable,
considering the Democratic Party is facing some of the worst polling and
trend lines imaginable. A Wall Street Journal survey from July found
Democrats grappling with their lowest approval ratings in three decades, as
just 8% of voters saw the party "very favorably" and a whopping 63%
felt it was out of step with Americans' concerns. Plus, another report from The New York Times
found that, in the 30 states with voter registration records by political
party, the GOP was ahead in all of them between 2020 and 2024. Plainly stated: The situation for Democrats
is bleak. Obviously, Mr. Martin and his coalition are
desperate for wins and likely see the most astute strategy as one that seeks
to find a common enemy in Mr. Trump, painting him as a maniacal king bent on
taking power away from the people. But here's the problem. While Mr. Martin is
imploring fellow Democrats to "stand up and fight" and not to bring
pencils to knife fights, he's overlooking a glaring reality: the Democratic
Party has made the very bed in which it's now lying. Liberals have a truth problem, one that
permeates the party's core essence. The DNC has increasingly rejected God,
embraced a selfobsessed relativism and has evaded reality in both trivial and
monumental matters. If the DNC is looking for a blueprint
forward, it has nothing to do with pencils and swords and everything to do
with a turn back to truth and decency at every level. First, let's start with liberals' increased
rejection of eternal truth. The move away from reliance and belief in God has
created a systematic dysfunction that pervades almost every page of the DNC's
official platform and many of its policy proclivities. According to the Pew Research Center, 40% of
Democrats and those who lean Democratic are religiously unaffiliated compared
to just 20% of their Republican counterparts — and the disparity only seems
to be growing. The Bible is clear on where knowledge begins.
Proverbs 9:10 (NIV) reads, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." When a
collective of people rejects God and turns from truth, moral chaos follows —
and that's what we've seen in liberal policymaking. From the gender wars to abortion and the
obsessive misunderstanding of the "separation of church and state,"
the Democratic Party has moved far beyond wisdom and knowledge and into the
realm of self-obsession. And that brings us to our second point:
relativism. In abandoning biblical morals, the Democratic Party has aligned
itself with the belief that the human being is the ultimate arbiter of truth
and rightness. Whatever feels or seems right to oneself becomes the guiding
principle. The problem? Relativism is incompatible with
reality. At some point, issues such as transgender individuals competing in
sports and using preferred restrooms force people to make a decision: Can we
really abide in these lies masquerading as truth, all for the sake of
relativistic inclinations? The DNC and its adherents have created
numerous crises in this arena, forcing the public to realize just how
unhinged these demands have become from the truth. Finally, Democrats have struggled with
baseline honesty on matters of political importance. The handling of the
COVID-19 pandemic raised many questions, yet some liberals simply wouldn't
allow free speech and expression. Thus, people were forced into silence if
they merely posed curiosities about the virus' origins or the government's
response. But it was President Biden's health,
readiness and well-being that perhaps most shocked voters. While citizens
were seeing firsthand a leader who seemed to be struggling, the Democratic
elite perpetuated the lie that Mr. Biden was perfectly fine and that
Americans' eyes, ears and senses were deceiving them. See, all of these problems boil down to
eternal and practical truths. Neither party is perfect, but one has struggled
more recently with aligning itself to reality, and theological dysfunction
has spilled over into the political and policymaking realm. The result is an American populace that now
questions the Democratic Party's ability to govern. The best path forward is
for liberals to turn back to God, cling to reality and simply commit to
telling the truth. Sadly, all signs right now point to a
doubling down that could lead to further dysfunction and distrust. • Billy Hallowell is a digital TV host and interviewer for
