It isn’t the rule of man that we need fear — laws are written by man.
It is when the rules are established by A Man (or small cadre). Be it Unconstitutional XOs creating illegal branches of government and opening the borders to all comers, when we go from Constitutional Representation to Fascism.
Tell your kids the final straw of liberty was in 2008. It started with the 16th and 17th Amendments, accelerated downhill while the Great Society was built and has now hit the wall.
Bread and Circuses and Santa Claus.
It started with the socialist-entitlement, single-payer, prison-like, and compulsory-use K-12 schooling that was forced upon the nation in the mid-1800 to early 1900s. These schools also fed the children a lukewarm and generic pap of Protestantism.
It only took one to three generations of socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling to give the nation enough voters to support usurpation of large tracts of state land for federal parks, feminism, the federal reserve, popular election of Senators, the failed “one world” League of Nations followed by the U.N., the communist dominated union movement, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
If children are schooled in socialist-entitlement, prison-like, compulsory, and godless schools we will eventually have a nation with a majority population of citizens who are comfortable with socialism, government compulsion, and godlessness. And...They will have no problem being state prisoners.
Personally, I have made a decision. I consider the government's socialist-entitlement K-12 schools soooooo EVIL for the child and such a threat to our nation's continuing freedom that I will NOT have a government teacher or worker for a friend. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a useful idiot to be my friend. They are NOT welcome in my house. ( I don't have abortion workers or Nazis for friends either. )
