If God’s law doesn’t bind us, Man’s law certainly won’t.
If we can ignore the Ten Commandments, we can certainly ignore the Bill of Rights.
In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore and the democrats took the shroud off a nasty secret. They showed the country that our election system is essentially operated on the Honor System" and that anyone who was willing to destroy the nation's faith and confidence in the honor and fairness of our elections could use dishonesty, guile and rule bending to mount an attempt to steal the election.
Without a care for the well being of the nation they displayed for all to see that the honor and integrity of the system was only as strong as the honor and integrity of the political powers engaged in the electoral process. Rules and laws do not make the dishonest honest or the dishonorable honorable.
In the last three years Barack Obama has displayed for us that the same truths apply to the US Constitution: its strength is derived from the honor, reverence and respect accorded to it by citizen and politician. Obama has shown us that he holds the Constitution in contempt, not reverence, and has chosen to violate it many times over.
So we see that the strength and honor of the nation itself is only a reflection of the strength and honor of its citizens and leaders.
Corrupt, dishonorable leadership, supported or enabled by a corrupt, greedy citizenry has brought down the greatest civilizations in history from ancient Egypt to Rome to Germany in the last century. It is sad to watch it happening to the USA right before our eyes.
