The core argument for Judeo-Christian upbringing. Our founders knew what they were talking about. Communist governments are consummate evil with no restrictions. They only get bigger and more abusive.

I was involved with government from local to fed for many years. I have been telling people that it is a matter of people’s evil that ruins the intent of/for government. The whole spectrum of humans in government reminds me of basket ball players making intentional fouls to prevent a score by the opposing team. I believe that the Founders knew human behavior very well when they cautioned that the workings of the new Republic was only as durable as the the people of the Nation were dedicated to It’s law/Constitution. The Nation has gone down the path the Founders feared.
My county recently switched from contract mail addresses (RR-xx Box-yy) to street numbers. In order to change the address on my driver's license I had to provide my birth certificate, SS card, two forms of proof of residence (utility bills) and my then current DL. To change the address on my voter registration card I needed to only supply my then current card and verbally transmit my new address.
They really take us for fools.,
We are fools. For letting them run over us year after year after year.
It IS time for revolt and destruction of those that hate us.
Sorry, but I take slight offense to that statement.
I am not religious, but I can READ and FOLLOW the Constitution. Being a (L), I’d say I follow it more-so than the (R) [I’ve yet to understand just what Conservatives are conserving....the NEW big gov’t (today) or the OLD big gov’t (191x)]. There are plenty people of religious background that would use the power/force of gov’t that would run counter to the Constitution.
It is those who understand what Life, Liberty and Freedom MEAN, not by words, not from their religious dogma, but by actions. Gov’t is primarily instituted to protect our Rights, but I see very few championing that job.
You’re absolutely right. The founders intentionally created a system of checks and balances, because they knew—without a doubt—that people are inherently evil. That’s the Christian perspective, too. Sinful man cannot be trusted to wisely use their power over other men, and Christianity tells us that we are all evil, sinful at our core. Sure. We can wage war against those evil feelings, like envy, jealousy, hate, deception, etc., with Christ’s help, but that doesn’t mean the evil nature no longer has any sway over us.
It’s also possible to be a morally decent person without Christ (from a man’s perspective—not God’s), but that takes exceptional self discipline created by proper upbringing and a strong will. A government of moral people can do the right thing, but the problem is simply that evil people are naturally drawn to want power over others, and the more powerful government gets, the less moral the people become.
A moral people don’t even need government.
Too busy harassing an innocent Floridian, I guess.
Her tax problems became a huge issue in her campaign, but to you it is a big joke.
I never thought her tax problems were a joke....a little irresponsible on her part, but her video saying she wasn’t a witch was her downfall. She was a great conservative who destroyed herself.
BTTT
the IRS has not changed a bit since the scandal erupted I bet

New blood will always be destroyed for a previous misstep.

She's a fighter. She'll be back.
So the IRS was working with Karl Rove?
The police aren't a person, that doesn't prevent them from committing crime as an organization, or covering for it either.
“But she emphasized she is NOT a witch.”
Well we did do the nose....and the hat.
