Bears repeating:

"This means that who you are, what rights you have, come directly from God and not from the government. In fact, the government is there to serve you, as a child of God, not the other way around, and when the government takes away your rights, the government is not legitimate, and you can change it."

Thank you, nathanbedford!

History and the modern world is replete with governments that oppress their “citizens” and see them as subjects rather than masters. Kings, dictators, oligarchs are pretty much the norm.

America is unique in that our founders declared that our rights come from God and are not granted to us by our government masters, be they benevolent or otherwise. Sadly, we are far adrift from those original principles that made us so precious.

BTW, I’m not claiming the founders created a perfect form of government—far from it! No. There is no such thing as that in this world, but the closer we draw to the ideal, the better off we are.

And why the Left and the state, but I repeat myself, hate God and Christians.
