Technically, the Constitution is the controlling authority in our system.
Died with their Boots On.
Sell you coat and buy a sword, then use it as a doorstop?
The left NEVER should have been taken seriously. I saw this as a failure of the republicans and so called conservatives years ago. We have a ruling class that doesn’t even understand how ridiculous the left is.
I have supported all the republican presidents, but the greatest evil done by George W Bush was his pathetic mantra that the left are good people “We just have an honest disagreement on the issues”.
Leftists, racists, thieves, radicals, perverts, religion haters, America haters, are NOT good people and they do NOT have valid “disagreements” with us. They are trouble makers and idiots who get people KILLED all the time.
That is the reality of the left going back at least to the French revolution.
The admonition to get swords was prior to just what event you say? Got the story straight?
The Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Holy Spirit changed the picture. There are enough biblical accounts of post-Pentecostal churches to make the idea that they were like our modern 2nd amendment societies very suspect.
I agree with the article, but it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. The “teens” plan to kill or maim you or your loved ones way before the homos get a chance to make you bake a cake.
If you stretch hard enough you can push metaphors any which way you want.
That does not equate them to good theology.
Few laws used to be needed, because an unwritten moral framework dictated appropriate behavior. Since that framework has been deliberately torn down, another “must” allegedly take its place: Fascism.
Technically, the Constitution is the controlling authority in our system
True, but what was the last time you saw a violation of the Constitution prosecuted according to the Constitution (Probably not since about 1913)
They are involved in a sort of soft-terrrorism in this country. No suicide bombers, no property or human bombings. But the vulgar, hateful, angry lashing-out at those who merely disagree with them is appalling. At one time in my life, a characteristics of liberals was diversity and tolerance. Not anymore. The left is the least diverse and the most intolerant of any group in society. They are out to destroy anyone who dares disagree with them. Disgustingly ugly behavior.
Now if we could just find a way to get rid of these leftists who are destroying our country....
Liberals are tough to handle when they get to about 40 percent, which is where they are now. Muslims get difficult when they are about 10 percent.
Do not fear those who, after they have killed the body, can do no more.
Fear Him who can destroy both body and soul in hell.
I think we really chicken out of the idea of God transforming our selves and our worldview, not just being some giver of a law that makes this miserable world a little nicer for a temporary time.
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” — Winston Churchill
Liberalism is trying to do Christianity (the charitable parts of it) without a Christ.
A lot of the right wing has become trying to do Christianity (the order keeping parts of it) also without a Christ.
Who can boast of meeting Christ personally... I have. He’s an eternal game changer. He is not a philosopher with good advice. His directions, viewed as mere advice, would never, ever work without His omnipotent power.
“Didn’t turn out so well.”
Only because some spineless governors caved to the Gaystapo.
True. But my point is that if we are to decide which authority to follow within the hierarchy of conflicting authorities we have, those that act according to the Constitution are the ones who deserve our earthly loyalty first and foremost.
I read several, certainly not all, of Churchill's efforts. If I'm not mistaken, this was prominent in The Gathering Storm.
I always found Churchill to be the most compelling character in the 20th Century because he stepped into a void and held back the tide for 2+ years when there was no one there to help, he had zero chance to win and there wasn't anyone to go see about it.
I read somewhere that he was having dinner when an aide came and whispered to him that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor. The gist of the story was that was the first good night's sleep he had in 2 years.
At some point we would think that this Liberal/Progressive insanity would crash under its own weight of contradictions.
Something that should have happened a long long time ago, but it persists.
How?, that’s easy. Education and Political correctness combined with the media.
Why it is still even something that needs to be discussed is another story.
Why are there soo many people fighting for their “right” and the “rights” of others to be completely ignorant?
Why are soo many seemingly “intelligent” people promoting and excusing soo many demonstrably destructive ideas and behaviors?
I understand why the “top” of the left’s leaders would want this. I don’t understand why soo many continue to follow them. They can’t all be that stupid.
I mean, at some point reality hits them in their face and they grow up, they recognize that life isn’t lolly pops and cotton candy.
I understand that the adoption and promotion of the “New Deal”, “Fair Deal” et al.., has attempted to remove any and all “Crisis” that anyone may encounter. And crisis is what continues in their lives.
The crisis is, and is being advanced by the very people they are relying on to solve their issues.
Why isn’t there more people, not only recognizing this, speaking out against it?
Are they all so brainwashed?
Are they no longer able to think for themselves?
Are they afraid and intimidated into compliance?
It makes no sense.
