Our National Destruction Is a Failure of Boundaries

How we deal with boundaries is called "morality." It's not looking good lately.

We have all been circling around the genesis of our society's ills since the COVID epidemic struck and the riots and peaceful protests began. It is not ironic that everything happened seemingly at once; rather, once the wound appeared, it became inflamed and infected almost immediately.

On the most fundamental level, we are suffering from a complete disrespect for boundaries. The idea of boundaries is fairly simple, yet its roots grow deep, indeed to the core of humanity. One of my favorite books describes the entire book of Genesis from the Bible as an ironic story about boundaries (The Book of J, Harold Bloom & David Rosenberg).

Genesis describes the boundaries of the land of Canaan, but it also explains the boundaries between neighbors, between enemies, between men and women, between tribes, and most importantly between God and man, Heaven and Earth. The boundary between God and man exists even for the atheist because his faith is rooted not in a divine being, but in something else. Whatever it is that he believes in matters not. Science, anti-science, political ideology — something gives him sustenance, and between him and that ideal, there lies a boundary. It may only be his own misery he has faith in. That is enough to create a boundary.

The problem is when man, especially in government, thinks they are a divine group.

This was so avoidable. The Trump years gave hope that this country’s demise could’ve been forestalled, but those four years went by in a flash.

I describe the Trump years as a bright shining moment of hope for the restoration of the Republic. That moment has now gone by in a blinding flash, dashed to pieces by an irredeemably evil Empire of DC. I feel now like it must have felt to those veterans of the Confederacy whose hopes for their new nation were Gone With The Wind. Now I pray for the creation of a new Republic of Texas to build a new future of liberty and freedom somewhere in this benighted land. GOPee Delenda Est!

Gvernments are filled with less than godly men, women, and of course lesbians, homosexuals and now trannies; God sees them as an abomination. They do the heavy lifting against God by rejecting God’s people because of shame, and the death they will suffer. Jealousy, mentally illness and hate fill the left. They shroud themselves in the tappings of human kingdoms and try to force God’s people into becoming a criminal class in every nation, including America, in the past and today.

Those who seek their own death by rejection will never know the love of God, or the love between a man and a woman, nor the development of that loves stages in life, not even the love from children who in boring this fruit fulfillment of God’s commands completes the human above and apart from the animal kingdom.

What you hope requires courage. We have seen no courage on our side in years. They’ve got us where they want us. We’re nothing more that a few million lonely individuals, easily conquered.

Actually did the opposite for me. Trumps agenda should have been largely universally embraced by both parties. Republicans have been campaigning on it specifically for half a century. Many elements of his plans have been supported by the Democrats in the past.

However instead of universal support, he received almost universal opposition from the Democrats, the media, much of the Republican leadership and pundits, nearly all of the government bureaucracy, major corporations, Tech giants, public education, and of course, Hollywood and social media.

This disclosed to me how enormous, vast and deeply entrenched are the forces opposed to the fundamental principles of our Nation.

As seen this week by Congress stating they are above God.

Thanks for bringing this over, very good article.

I was wondering yesterday why we even have a dictionary, since they now put in words that people misspell/misspeak—committing us to ignorance.

Boundaries and standards are now outside the fence where the outlaws were once sent.

Why have universities or any education at all since they’re now working towards having no standards, words are created defined by the ignorant hordes. (makes it easier for ignorant drops outs like me)

Oh, I know—indoctrination.

What does it mean for a society when the outlaws sent outside the fence are those who want standards and boundaries?

Troops and fences around the Capitol and no unknown lands to sail off to.

This certainly isn’t a free republic that we live in, that’s gone.

We’re something else now, a new type of communism or whatever.
