lawand take advantage of the misconception that
the Constitution is whatever the USSC says it is.
The federal gov’t, long ago, crossed the line from legitimate authority to authority ad baculum.
They are only obeyed now because of their ability to use force to require compliance, not because they are seen as a legitimate authority to be obeyed.
As much as I admire Bonhoeffer, I have no desire to be him.
Better to take real steps before the fascists get that kind of power.
Steps that to date I have to say, sadly, many if not most of these “leaders” have refused to take.
And I’m talking simple steps based on principle, acting within a peaceful, lawful, political framework.
That wouldn't matter if there were any real patriots in existence today who had balls bigger than a shrew. Unfortunately, there's not.
Internment camps.
Interment is the burial of a corpse.

This article would be laughable if it wasnt so sad. So the major, huge threat that Christians bring is to hold the opinion that SCOTUS as an illegitimate institution.
Ooooh, that’ll show em! As if Roe v Wade wasn’t enough. As if countless other decisions weren’t enough. But now, we’re really gonna show ‘em. And if that doesn’t work then...then..Christians might get real ugly and take them off their HOLIDAY card lists!
There are. But most conservatives won’t give them the time of day. Too busy following false flags.
Good.
I would hope refusing to participate/ perform sodomite ceremonies. But I fear many will fold like cheap suits under pressure from vocal members of the congregation.
I have been accused of the logical fallacy of steep slope-ism but you tell me where the hell will we draw the line if not here.
By the way, it was seventy years ago today, on April 8th, 1945, that “Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Wilhelm Canaris, and other anti-Nazis were convicted and sentenced to death by an SS drumhead court-martial presided over by Otto Thorbeck. At dawn the next day...Bonhoeffer and Canaris [and others] were hanged in the Flossenbürg concentration camp. They were forced to strip naked before being taken to the gallows. The camp was liberated two weeks later by American forces.”

Perhaps we will have the sad role to see how this generation of Christians performs under the kind of real persecution endured by Bonhoeffer. I hope not, but the longer we take to clean up our own house and begin to do right, using the simple, peaceful political means we already possess, the more likely it becomes.
That would be kinda hard because most people on this side have to go to work to make a living.
My comment was intended for those who may not be familiar with him. I did not mean to imply that you specifically were not.
I’ve given that some serious thought. I don’t think it’s a lack of courage or will. I know quite a few people (several of them are Freepers) who have the gonads to act.
I think the missing factor is organization. For all his faults, Glenn Beck was able to organize the 9/12 rally in D.C. and hundreds of thousands showed up. No one is rallying the masses so-to-speak. (No, I don’t think Glenn Beck is the answer.)
Mark Levin is pushing for the Liberty Amendments, which I support, but that is a political solution. Absent a catalyst, most patriots are quietly prepping to defend themselves and their loved ones.
The Cliven Bundy incident is the closest thing I’ve seen to a catalyst.
LOL! I know, I was just hoping for some specifics.
They’re unelected political hacks in black muumuus. Yet we seem to grant them reverence and hold them in awe like they were holy shamans.
They’ve definitely got the political theatrics down pat.
The Christian Leadership of this country, such as it is, reminds me of Pro-Life, Inc. the alleged opponents of infanticide who instead seem to survive and thrive so long as the practice continues.
To paraphrase James Michner: “they came to do good, and ended up doing very well.”
