Time to retell the story of Thomas More who said, My allegiance to the King, but first my allegiance to God. (My paraphrase) Then King Henry viii beheaded him so he could get a divorce.
And he proved his allegiance by burning people.
Personally, I was much more a fan of Henry V.
But Shakespeare probably had something to do with it. Henry V was a powerful and truly inspirational person.
One of my favorites though, was Oliver Cromwell. He was hated by the king who attempted to rule England WITHOUT PARLIAMENT, and even to eliminate parliament. The same king (I believe Charles I of England) raised taxes many times (imprisoning many who could no longer pay his taxes), often seizing their weapons and even homes, and then emptied the “public treasury” to literally pay for a FOREIGN ARMY to defeat his own English Army and to subdue its citizens, as the English Army largely remained loyal to English Parliament! King Charles I, also by force took control of an already largely willing press, and forced citizens of England to submit to his chosen religious leaders and belief system.
**SOUND FAMILIAR?**
*Forcibly raising taxes, and using the our tax revenue to pay for the welfare of millions of illegal immigrants (*to create a disloyal, at times violent, and non-American SOCIALIST voting block - *foreign army*).
*Uses the tax revenue from the American people to explode the size and power of CENTRALIZED federal governance OVER the same people they took the taxes from!
A centralized government which constantly attacks our US Constitution (which itself creates our Parliamentary form of government), and seeks to rest inherent Constitutional protections and power from the American people for themselves, by redefining or even eliminating Constitutional Amendments which are fundamental and critical to our liberty, recourse against injustice, wellbeing, and property.
A Federal Government which uses our tax revenue to pay for the forced indoctrination of our children to hate our own country and God, while using the courts to DEMAND we remove God from society and believe in humanism, A-morality, and any religion except Christianity...
A Federal Government which constantly seeks to forcibly eliminate our foundational first 10 Amendments, using tax revenue to create government agencies to police FREE SPEECH, constantly seeking to eliminate our 2nd Amendment right to SELF DEFENSE (specifically for the purpose of keeping government accountable), PRIVACY, and even MOVEMENT!
We could go on!
One of my favorite quotes from Oliver Cromwell:
“Put your trust in God, and keep your powder dry!”
