This would be a good thing. Obama is miscalculating, thankfully.
Honestly, I don’t know how it would come out.
Hitler knew the times in which he lived, which allowed him to get away with murder.
Our current president has gotten away with “extra-judicial” killing of American citizens and various other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Churches have to stand up against government intrusion. More than likely, though, the Churches will allow government to define the box in which the church must remain and then government will slowly shrink the box until the church finally wakes up. By then, it will be too late.
The times being what they are, I just don’t know if the will is there to resist tyranny. Heck, most of us already keep our heads down, because we darn well know all it takes is one petty government official and our lives are ruined.
