“If the world hates you, remember that the world hated me first. If you
belonged to the world, then the world would love you like it loves its
own people. But I have chosen you out of the world. So you don’t belong
to the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the lesson I
told you: A servant is not greater than his master. If people did wrong
to me, then they will do wrong to you too.”
John 18:15
His lips to God’s ears. It’s time to make a break for it. “Flyoverland” has no chance of restoring this mess to it’s former greatness, so let’s get out while there’s still time.
It will be a new revolution against tyranny, not a civil war.
Yea, this is going to bring about shots fired, it will lead to it. Conservative and Religious Americans aren’t going to take it laying down.
“And let me be clear, the Hispanic community is very religious, traditional and family-oriented as well. An ill-conceived assault against the church — a rallying point across the minority communities — could bode dismay for the liberal progressives of the Democrat party heading into the 2016 election year.”
The blacks are too busy killing each other and defacing statues, and can barely manage to get married on accident.
The Hispanics are too busy carving out a new central American republic out west to give a damn.
Well, he is right about one thing. The Christian right did indeed make sure a Republican didn’t win the White House.
We have been praying - for years. God has apparently left us to our own devices.
We will get what we deserve.
The “theory” of Countervailing Forces will become law after this, IMO. I’m just waiting to see the progressives try to make Imams in Dearbornistan perform same sex weddings.
With “America” now such an evil abomination, anything that shreds the country apart is fine by me. Ultimately, the only route to survival is going to be secession.
Now it's: we don't need no steenkin constitution
It won’t lead to civil war because we are too gutless.
End of freedom of religion in America.
Arrests and persecution ahead?
If Roe v. Wade didn’t lead to civil war or even civil strife, why would this?
It is a good scripture. Unfortunately it seems to be used as more of an excuse not to engage than a comfort after all else failed. It does not remove our civil responsibilities or our obligation to obey God rather than man.
The situation today is reversed. Abe sees the difference.
Abe will explain from "the other side" (he's been through this). The fault is ours.
If you could first know where you are and whither you are tending, you could better judge what to do and how to do it. You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
The question today is either the opponents of statism will arrest the further spread of it and place it on course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become permanent.
Have you no tendency to the latter condition?
Let anyone who doubts carefully contemplate that now almost complete legal combination — piece of machinery, so to speak — compounded of the Republican Party hierarchy and the ruling class statism's chief architects.
That's the law for you. "Disciplined legal reasoning" and being willing to go against conviction (trading positions for that fifth vote) are mutually exclusive.
He could have left out the phrase "even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote." It's not necessary to make the point. Maybe this is his way of sharing a bit of inside baseball.
