MAGA:
America's greatness begins spiritually with her surrender and reliance on Divine Providence and the gospel of the grace of Christ.
America has that light of the gospel of the grace of Christ and God wants to use her to send that light around the world in these last days.
America's greatness is perpetuated politically, legally, and socially by her inspired Free Constitutional Republic.
Freedom: Freedom and liberty is seldom talked about these days. "Equality" and "fairness" is more the mode-o-day. But as Milton Friedman said, "A society that puts 'fairness' and 'equity' ahead of freedom will have neither. A society that puts freedom first will have a great deal of both." America is founded on freedom and independence FROM GOVERNMENT. Only by God's grace can we move back to trusting in God and rejecting and dismantling the 80% unconstitutional & tyrannical portion of the federal government.
Constitutional: The Constitution is America's ONLY legal bulwark of freedom against the constant attempted intrusions of tyranny by government. We must reinstate the Constitution AS WRITTEN AND ORIGINALLY UNDERSTOOD AND INTENDED and the Supreme Law of the Land OVER the feds. Doing so means literally dismantling the $3+ trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of government and quit giving the Supreme Court national legislative power. It will take a power greater than that of today's patriots to make that happen. Only with God's power can such restoration be engineered.
Republic: The essence of freedom is decentralized government beginning with the self-government of the individual, then local and state government, and, finally, the separation of powers in the federal government. The ONLY purpose of the constitutionally-created federal government is to protect the freedoms and independence of the people and the states. This seems to have been long forgotten. The key to restoring our republic is the STATES reasserting their constitutional SOVEREIGN POWER and rejecting dependence on federal money. And, again, only God can make this happen because right now, NOT ONE STATE that is willing to reject federal funding and become independent once again from federal tyranny.
God Bless All of You and God Bless America on the celebration of this great Day of Independence and Freedom.

Right on, Jim. Excellent, excellent post.
I didn’t know Milton Friedman said the following: “A society that puts ‘fairness’ and ‘equity’ ahead of freedom will have neither. A society that puts freedom first will have a great deal of both.”
That should be in every school and university in America.
Agree 100 %.
===The ONLY purpose of the constitutionally-created federal government is to protect the freedoms and independence of the people and the states.-—
Precisely.
And all three branches should be protecting those freedoms and independence of the people like a junkyard dog.
The biggest downfall of America, other than turning her back on God, is that few truly love liberty anymore.
As the Good Book says: (Paul I think) “Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made you free.”.
The only way to meet the violence of evil such as democratic socialism, is with the violence of righteousness, justice, love and grace.
And the Constitution explicitly states that we are free to choose any religion we wish.
Slight but VERY important correction.
The Constitution doesn’t grant us freedoms and liberties, God does. The Constitution is based on this truth as expressed in the Declaration of Independence.
The Constitution PROTECTS our God-given freedoms and liberties. The first ten amendments are erroneously referred to as the “Bill of Rights”. No. If you look carefully at the language, these amendments FORBID GOVERNMENT (”Congress”) from violating our PRE-EXISTING, God-given rights.
Again, the Constitution does grant some sort of “bill of rights”. The Constitution PROTECTS our pre-existing GOD-GIVEN rights.
I understand the Constitution just fine.
My point was that while I am a Christian, I don’t care if you are or not. And I don’t care if the Federal government is or not.
I simply disagree with your premise.
You might at some point think about trying to support what you think and contend with a rational and supportable argument.
You also might want the read (or re-read) the Declaration of Independence, from which the Constitution derives, including this passage: “All men are...endowed by their Creator [not by man, the Constitution, or government] with certain unalienable Rights [including of course freedom of religious exercise]...”
You might also want to read up on the Founder’s purpose in writing the first ten amendments: to REMIND government of a SAMPLING of some of the more important of our pre-existing rights that they are NOT to violate.
A great way to celebrate the 4th of July. Buy MAGA 2020 & Beyond.

I am fine with my soul. I am glad you are as well. I expect little from my Federal Government. I especially don’t want them spending a nickel worshiping anything but the people.
I agree 100 percent but I do not see that any thing has ever been
restored once it has fallen, some one said a while ago that the
Constitution was only good as long People believe in lt.
Except for the miraculous resurrection of Christ by the power of God.
America will need that same resurrection power.
It could happen.
Yes it could happen.
