What do John Lennon, Glenn Beck, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn all have in common? The answer (and question) appears to be something no major political party in America appears able to grasp. While the GOP is looking for the leak in the roof, selling out conservative values to include more in the “big tent”, the big tent (the new and improved fiscal responsible one of course, sans “social values”), is swiftly being washed downstream, heading for the perilous cliff.
Splash, crash, there goes another one!
9-9-09 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A Republican state lawmaker from Southern California was ousted Wednesday from two legislative committees after he was caught on tape bragging about having sex with female lobbyists
The short answer of course, is an attempt to save man from himself. The only ‘revolution’ that will ultimately matter is the one fewer and fewer Americans understand. It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with morality.
All of America’s problems are rooted in immorality; a consequence of course of throwing out God from the public square; a loss of conscience.
Being that morality is rooted in conscience, it would behoove us to remember Chuck Colsen’s “Cop and Conscience law."
Colson's Law states that the only alternatives to conscience are cops or chaos. If the inner shield of a community is lowered, the outer shield must be raised to stave off chaos. Therefore, a community, especially a free democracy, that loses its conscience, will necessarily become a police state.
It’s worth noting that no secular society has ever survived more than 72 years, the former U.S.S.R. being the best example. America will be no exception.

However, if control is amassed, it can be destroyed by hogtying its legal system.
You don't need an example, do you?
“Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” President Kennedy
I think that will be the point. We’ve been shouting and voting, but if that doesn’t do it, well, pitchforks and feathers might be the next move.

Something like Constitutional Eligibility?

Middle America will not self destruct. We are solid in our faith in God, know who we are and the way things should be.
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of working within the legal system, not disregarding it completely. But that qualifies, too.
Whereas, if he was a democrat, and he was caught on tape bragging about having sex with barney frank, he’d be in the obamessiah’s next round of “presidential medal of freedom” recipients
It can if the people quit, which about half this board has, it seems sometimes.
We’ve always had our share of scoundrels and scandals among politicians, all the way back to Alexander Hamilton & Aaron Burr. The difference is that governments is small and its powers were limited, the opportunities for corruption are also limited. When the biggest opportunity for graft was appointing a friend to be the head of the New York Customs Office, that had a limited impact on the lives of everyday honest people.
However, when government is involved in every aspect of our lives, even choosing what doctors we can see and medical procedures can have, the opportunity for greed and dishonesty among the political class is almost unlimited.
There is no such animal.
The problem is that the DimDems and their propagandists will insist that they represent peaceful change and we are the ones making it impossible ...
Very true, so it really comes down to who will enforce their will.
