That is Odumbass’s goal along with his fundamental transformation of America - Christianity and America is the cause of all the world’s problems. make it that the religion of the state humanism is the answer. Christian be damned. Islam is the true religion. I heard this crap when I was an undergraduate in the 1980s after having back from serving in the military. the professors where teaching the BS that Islam was the true religion. I simply told the professor in a state of Wisconsin publically funded university to go to hell.
Homosexuality is demonic and is the spirit of Anti-Christ.
They didnt evade taxes. They were being taxed to death, somethings could not be legally made in the colonies, and had to be imported from England, which had taxes on those goods. There sas no representation for them to get any tax relif, for decades They tried, but to no effect.
You can bla me him, but every one of those Republicans agrees.
Moral obligation is not man's prison, from which he must liberate himself in order finally to be able to do what he wants.It is moral obligation that constitutes his dignity, and he does not become more free if he discards it: on the contrary, he takes a step backward, to the level of a machine, or a mere thing. If there is no longer any obligation to which he can and must respond in freedom, then there is no longer any realm of freedom at all.
The recognition of morality is the real substance of human dignity; but one cannot recognize this without simultaneously experiencing it as an obligation of freedom. Morality is not man's prison but rather the divine element in him...
For nature is not — as is asserted by a totalitarian scientism — some assemblage built up by chance and its rules of play but is rather a creation. A creation in which the Creator Spiritus expresses himself. This is why there are not only natural laws in the sense of physical functions: the specific natural law itself is a moral law. Creation itself teaches us how we can be human in the right way.
The Christian faith, which helps us to recognize creation as creation, does not paralyze reason; it gives practical reason the life-sphere in which it can unfold. The morality that the Church teaches is not some special burden for Christians: it is the defence of man against the attempt to abolish him. If morality — as we have seen — is not the enslavement of man but his liberation, then the Christian faith is the advance post of human freedom.
That same Jesus also said "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's", fwiw.
Which could be interpreted as he didn’t have a problem with some allegiance to a government, as long is it didn’t supersede allegiance to God.
And a Christian country like America would be allowed even more allegiance in God’s eye.
Also indicates that wisdom knows what belongs to whom, because at some point people have to choose.
The odd thing about America is that a government of representatives means that we collectively are Caesar; or could be, or should be. Which of course makes us all the more culpable.
Once we turn the reins over to a Caesar, we will have to give him what is his. Talk about your slippery slope.
The American Revolution was one of a long chain of miracles that made America possible. It would be presumptuous to assume a second one would work out the same.
Wow. Well written. I’m jealous. :) And you are right. Lightening striking twice is difficult.
Perhaps if we survive the next 20 months somehow, Cruz could save us from needing another violent revolution and save the republic.
Talk about gutsy! These guys staked everything - everything! - for liberty.
Adams: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other;" he's saying that this government isn't capable of governing irreligious and immoral people. Think about that!
What can we do but pray and act according to our consciences informed by the truth and leave the rest to God?
Well, I can join about several thousand like me to fight back with brute force, take back the country piece by piece and throw ourselves on God’s mercy when we’re done. But that’s just me.
I know Jesus said turn the other cheek, but that’s not just me. Never has been. Cant change.
Rather go down swinging than let these communists, muslims, deviants and punks take my country. Sorry. I know you are goo person, i can tell.
Jesus turned the other cheek indeed but he did a lot more than that and He gathered followers, not stunt-doubles. He lived in His circumstances, we live in ours.
There are some things that must be fought for. Liberty is one of them. There is an obligation to protect those who cannot protect themselves. That demands strength and strategy and resources.
If ever any nation on earth must be fought for, it's the United States of America.
Well, besides Israel.
You should speak at rallies! Amen to everything you said!
