One must be skeptical regarding the pronouncements of present day Christian leaders and “spokesman” as they interpret Christian doctrines and beliefs.
Yep!
” - - it deserves the coming consequences.”
The America of today has many, many evil facets. The mere fact that obama got reelected says so much.
If we cannot get a Trump, Cruz, or even a Carson into office, the nation will continue on it’s decline and those consequences will not be far off.
I’m surprised he’d be allowed to be a professor at Princeton.
It’s becoming socially unacceptable “on our side” of the political spectrum too I think
Yes, that’s quite the fact. But it has always been my position that I resent *having* to look over politicians’ shoulders all the time to keep them in line because they can’t be trusted any other way.
In doing some research about Robert George, I clicked on a link about a recent illness he had regarding a bleed in his aorta, I think it was. A box popped up and I couldn’t get out of it, and I and my husband have spent the last 30 minutes or so working on getting out, checking to see if I had indeed downloaded some malware, and so on. Anyway, it seems that Robert George is a very brilliant and ethical man.
Nice to see you, Kolokotronis.
you forgot the part about services are to be limited to one hour and sermons are not to mention anything to do with moral judgment with in society.
What would things look like if Satan actually took over a city? The first frames in our imaginative slide show probably depict mayhem on a massive scale: Widespread violence, deviant sexualities, pornography in every vending machine, churches closed down and worshipers dragged off to City Hall.
Over a half-century ago, Donald Grey Barnhouse, pastor of Philadelphia’s Tenth Presbyterian Church, gave his CBS radio audience a different picture of what it would look like if Satan took control of a town in America.
He said that all of the bars and pool halls would be closed, pornography banished, pristine streets and sidewalks would be occupied by tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The kids would answer “Yes, sir,” “No, ma’am,” and the churches would be full on Sunday ... where Christ is not preached.
Regardless what FDRs state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to believe about the scope of Congresss Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified the following about Congresss constitutionally limited powers.
Not only have the states never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce, but also that Congress is also prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, basically anything that it cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” - Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So regarding Congresss Section 8-limited powers where federal domestic policy is concerned, if you hear politicians promising funding for anything not connected with the US Mail Service (1.8.7), then you can bet it is unconstitutional and be right most of the time.
So what is so difficult about keeping an eye on federal politicians?

Bttt
Twasn’t that way before 1968! Due to the murder of Robert Kennedy any form of the most mild violence was banned on TV for years, so excessive sex began to be the drawing card for commercial TV.
After Cable became common, sex became the real drawing card. R rated movies were only shown in the late evenings, now it is anytime of day.
Now violence and soft porn are back with a vengeance since 1980, but some commercial cable stations still chop the movies to pieces as if it was still post 1968. Most do not.
“So what is so difficult about keeping an eye on federal politicians? “
I don’t have the time or the inclination to pore over pieces of 2000+ page legislation to see if/where anything devious is hidden within.
I ought to be able to go about my life without waking up to find that half of my gun collection is now illegal, or that more of my paycheck is being looted to give to people I wouldn’t allow in my house. /rant
On one hand, I hear you.
Otherwise, probably most of us are guilty of not heeding Jeffersons following warning.
”Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
I have been there.

I’m not afraid.
Agreed. I have read some of his works and he is similar to the original Princeton professors who trained the likes of James Madison.
Robert George is a renowned professor at Princeton, a stalwart pro-life advocate and defender of life, an eloquent speaker. Absolutely top notch. You can see him sometimes on EWTN, the Catholic cable station. None say bad of him. Glad to hear that he is out speaking - the aorta bleed could easily have been fatal.
