Agree Jim. Those gentlemen would not have put up with a fourth of what we're putting up with now.

Someone’s comeuppance is going to be very deserved and very great. They’re playing with fire and they keep on poking the cage. They’re about to get lit up. They’re going to get what’s due them.

The ROP is protected. Christians are persecuted.

Insanity.

...naw, we blew past that signpost several exits past. What’s now coming into play is the result of a criminal lack of common sense. Jefferson’s tree will be watered if for no other reason to prove the truth of his admonition.

>>We are now approaching the level of tyranny Jefferson warned us about.<< And be prepared to do what he said we must do to prevent it. “The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? LET THEM TAKE ARMS. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” ― Thomas Jefferson, Letters of Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty is looking mighty dry these days.

Scripture trumps law, whether the government agrees or not.

So, “separation of Church and State,” which Jefferson intended to protect the Church from the State, has come to mean the exact opposite, just like the Second Amendment.

Evidently who's winning American Idolatry and Dancing with the Perverts this week - in between commercials for Beer, Erectile Dysfunction, Sleeping Pills, and depends... is still more important than filling in the blank.

Forget about ‘watering the Tree of Liberty’, I’m all for opening the floodgates and unleashing a Constitutional tsunami of blood on those fascist, scum sucking dirt bags.

Acts 5:29

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
