Down the line in this thread is a post about the fact Americans, including most Freepers, now have no knowledge of the natural law roots of our Constitution. Nor do politicians or lawyers . But Natural law is perceived by all humans in all cultures. It is “written on the human heart”.

I agree with the poster that lawyers don’t know about it. Having known myself about the natural law prior to attending law school and finding that nothing about Natural Law was taught,I asked to do a required substantial paper on the subject.It is a jeweĺ of human thought

I have also thought, as did the poster referred to above, that we need to teach people about that subject and history.

One thing everyone should know are the basics. 1.Good is to be done and evil avoided. Examples of good would be 1.
preserve life. 2. Pursue knowledge. 3. Have a family and many others.

The good which over arches all specific goods is Freedom.

I would like to suggest that one way to introduce oneself to the natural inclination of all to recognize and know the Natural Law can be found in the C.S. Lewis book, Abolition of Man, especially the adds at the end of the book.

I have read and reread the posts on here after an election.

And without fail we are screwed over, so the roundabout is pulled out and spins again..

Article this, article that, judges are bad, supremes are bad, black robed totalitarians and the list goes on.

Now this year’s we have the same roundabout and banter, but now it involves CW. Omg, for generations we have been boned and now the swamp has come out face to face and told you to suck dung.

Insert clutching of pearls here..

You and I and every Patriot are about to Not ever be free again because the curtain has been pulled back from the back of the truck, the rounding up of Patriot leadership (antifa has a list, remember they said they would make one) and the sound of a cocking handle racking a round is being heard within every insane ramble by a Democratic or socialist propaganda arm.

You all say, but but but, the laws !!!!!!

Bollocks, who the fk called anyone to crush the Antifa/blm/communist and socialist RIOTING ALL YEAR !!!

Where was the law, where were the police, where are the jailed guilty parties...... Crickets.....

So if you start ripping anyone up on here for a CW last box outlook you best know that all the blustering and talking and dreams of any sort of hail mary solution from a legal perspective is
Just a crack pipe dream.

If by chance a hail mary comes, expect CW in 20 seconds or less from the Left, because they have geared up and training for war these past 5 years.!!!

And THEY have told you already that they are coming win or loose.

I am a winner, I either beat cancer or die, and I equate that to my life...switch from thinking it’s not coming to knowing it is.

Then you stand a far better chance of people here gaining confidence in our discussions and not just wandering off after seeing the same old mantras rolled out on the roundabout.

Flame off, Cloak on.

“We can’t trust SCOTUS to give us liberty and self-governance”

No sh!t, Sherlock. Trump picked from the list of names his master McConnell provided to him. Faux conservatives.

The trouble with secession is China. The West and America in particular needs to be unified against this determined foe. The enemy has already murdered thousands of Americans with a virus and used it to install their fake President. Any foe willing to kill millions of uninvolved people all over the world just to seize power in America is unrelentingly evil.

I don’t disagree, we do need to be unified.

But the Democrats have decided that the unification must be under their rule at all cost. They have chosen to force all of us to live under their will.

They have usurped power by deceit.

If we are to remain unified under present circumstances we will be unified by falsehoods, we will be unified under coercion and force of arms.

If I am to be put in to bondage I would prefer to be enslaved after I make the effort to live as a free man.
