You miss the point of my post. The whole concept of our republic is that we the people are the government. God is our only Sovereign and the Constitution our contract. Our 3 EQUAL branches of government are administrators of it. Public servants. Our representatives.
The last thing we need is Trump to bring in his “you can’t lose with the stuff I use” (Rev. Ike) style experts to run the country. We need guardians of the Constitution, not bullies to push around the other branches of government.
I slapped those quotes together in a hurry, wanting to get it posted early since this is Super Tuesday. I was hoping Trumpkins would see the contrast and stop before all is lost. I knew there was not much chance. I doubt many even read the quotes.
We’ll get back to the Constitution AFTER cleaning up the NIGHTMARE that both Bush-43 and Obama has left this country in.
We had to do EXACTLY THE SAME in WW2, and we survived it.
YOU missed the point of your own post. (stay with me a bit here)
You make valid points about co-equal government and being public servants etc. But you totally misapply your post to the reality we face today.
"It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep"
A lion is free (and fights for his freedom). A sheep is a slave (and meekly accepts his slavery).
This exact concept was phrased by Patrick Henry as "Give me liberty or give me death"
Over the last 20 years (or more!) the republicans have been acting like sheep. Meekly rolling over and letting the democrats (who have been acting like lions) get anything and everything they want. In those 20 years our country has been reduced from the best in the world to a mere shadow of itself.
Our freedoms have been eroded to the point that we can no longer speak truth in the public market place without being imprisoned or destroyed.
We have been enslaved to a government that rations health care and FORCES us to buy products we do not need or want.
Criminal elements (thugs and moslems and homosexuals) have been emboldened to the point that they now commit their crimes with no fear of suffering the consequences. Crime now pays!
Our borders have been left wide open and our border patrol has become no more than targets.
The list of damages goes on and on.
Because the republicans have been acting like sheep instead of like lions our equal branches of government have been thrown totally out of balance. We have an imperial presidency and a congress that merely rubber stamps anything he wants. We have a judicial system that is infested with evil people driven by their agenda who have no regard for the rule of law or our founding documents.
Acting like sheep CANNOT fix a system that is horribly broken. Only a lion has a chance of restoring our republic.
So when do we stop acting like sheep and rolling over and letting evil reign in this country? When do we start acting like lions and fighting to defend ourselves and the innocents that are being slaughtered here?
God called out men throughout His word to stand up and do what needed to be done. Sometimes he even used men who were NOT his people to get the job done (Nebuchadnezzar for one). Right now we NEED a lion to stand up and fix what is wrong here. Who are we to complain if God chooses (for His own purposes) to use someone who is apparently not a Christian or not what we would expect as long as the job gets done? Yes we are to pray. After all, God is sovereign. But we are also to work. God called us to be strong, not to be stupid.
