"We need to get back to the foundations that have made America great - the biblical and the constitutional foundations."
- Moral and ethical values are being destroyed over the last 50 years
- Religious liberty under attack
- Right to Life under attack (ex. Planned Parenthood)
- Traditional marriage under attack
- We need to get back to the Biblical foundations of America (personal acknowledgment of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ – the foundation of a free and peaceful individual life specifically and society in the aggregate)
- We need to get back to the Constitutional foundations of America (the key to political freedom)
- Hard work, individual responsibility, honesty, integrity, the rule of law, free enterprise, limited government
I heard him yesterday. It was kinda funny because he wasn’t sure who he would vote for. He did say that he liked his son but not sure who he would vote for in the primary and general. I thought it was unbelievably hilarious. He is no Barbara Bush that is for sure.
“made America great”
Sounds familiar...
So glad I don’t live in Iowa and have to endure what surely is endless bombardment of political ads this weekend.
- Religious liberty under attackLike Islam and Muslim? Be careful where you go with that chest pounding Ted. You may have to eat those words someday.
I agree with the lack of morals and that religious liberty is under attack. But, wait a minute... what is really destroying the country, right now, at this moment? Again, just for discussion, let's take out the Constitution (and even some correspondence from the founding fathers) and try to get the ship going in the right direction. Maybe, just maybe can we leave for now (the discussion ) of everything else for prayer meeting on Wednesday and Service on Sunday.
Because honestly, I don't see anything in Rafael's missive that digs into what critical issues are killing the country: globalism and open borders... and that is at the core of the context of the Constitution to provide for the 'Welfare' of the citizens.
Freedom of religious acts, if peaceful are also absolutely off limits to the feds. But acts against others' lives or liberties disguised as "religious liberty" is another thing entirely. No one has the right to threaten or harm others no matter what kind of label they want to put on it.
These are VERY important distinctions that people like you need to get straight in your thinking. It is the difference between a free, peaceful society under the Constitution, and tyranny.

Go Trump Go
The greatest threat to our freedoms and safety is BY FAR the $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional federal government.
The ONLY legal bulwark of political freedom against federal tyranny is the Constitution.
Your hypo shows a lack of understand that the very foundation of our political freedom is the Supreme Rule of Law of the Constitution, the Ruler of the feds and federal officials like Obama.
The Left has done exactly what you propose - take out the Constitution. What's left is what we have now: tyranny - the reign of the terror of the Rule of Man, the tyranny that these jokers feel unrestrained about passing any old law they feel like.
The Constitution is in fact the Ruler over the Lawmakers. THAT is the political freedom of the Rule of Law in America and why America has been the freest, strongest, and most prosperous country on earth for so long.
Traditional marriage is not under attack.
There is no need to put such an adjective as “traditional” before marriage, which truly is a union between one man and one woman in Western society.
One problem is the handing out of benefits to people not subjecting themselves to the expensive risks of childbearing.
States have no possible gain by officially recognizing a relationship between two men.
Another problem is the state level sanctioning of unhealthy sexual activity, further compounded by unjustified court decisions with respect to the matter.
Whatever you or I think about marriage and its current status, the whole issue of marriage is completely out of the constitutional scope of federal authority. The feds have no constitutional right to meddle at all in marriage. Marriage is an issue for the states and the people of each state, how they want it handled.
We need to get the mooching under control.
We need to limit moochers and their supporters to well under 50% of the voting base.
We need to constitutionally limit income transfers by number of total recipients and percentage of GDP.
We need to limit taxation, income shifting and subsidies at all levels.
Oh come on...that’s just a silly observation.
As if he would not vote for his son. I’m sure he meant that if his son did not get the nomination, he is not sure who he would vote for.
Has Trump copyrighted those words?
I’m sure we could find them being used in every Prez campaign since Adams and Jefferson.
Um, he actually did, 4 years ago.
Please read my post in totality!! I never said ignore or disregard. I said take it out along with the correspondence and get our ship right!!!!!! By taking it out I meant to take it out and read it and all the the correspondence regarding it. Can you see that your interpretation doesn't make any sense in light of my entire post.
Start passing snakes now.
Well, your post was a bit hard to understand really, but your explanation of “take out” the Constitution helped.
Thanks and not to worry. I only hope there’s more of us than there is of them.
At the New Beginnings Church in Irving, Texas, in August 2012, Cruz delivered a sermon where he described his son’s senatorial campaign as taking place within a context where Christian “kings” were anointed to preside over an “end-time transfer of wealth” from wicked people to the righteous. Cruz urged the congregation to “tithe mightily” to achieve that result. During an interview conducted by the Christian Post in 2014, Cruz stated, “I think we cannot separate politics and religion; they are interrelated. They’ve always been interrelated.” Salon described Cruz as a “Dominionist, devoted to a movement that finds in Genesis a mandate that ‘men of faith’ seize control of public institutions and govern by biblical principle.”

Interesting. Well, I liked what he said in that interview, but clear thinking realizes that the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended basically creates the feds and then delegates limited powers to the feds - no religion involved in the Constitution. Religion is outside the purview of the feds - none of the feds business.
This stuff isn’t that complicated. Why do so many get it wrong?
