In 1761, 63 merchants brought suit against a British law that allowed the search of homes and businesses without written justification or prior warning. An attorney named James Otis represented the merchants in this case, known as Paxton v. Gray. He lost the case, but uttered a line that made history: “An act against the constitution is void.” Britain had no formal “constitution” as we now have. Otis was referring to established legislation and case law, which should have taken precedence.
Otis’s point: When government tries to implement unconstitutional law, it is illegitimate and should not be obeyed. This principle became the intellectual foundation for the Declaration of Independence and eventually the Bill of Rights.
Should We Accept Tyranny? Should we live freely or be ruled by tyranny? That was the crux of the matter. Our founders recognized freedom as a natural right granted us by God when He made us in His image. For this they made tremendous sacrifices and endured unimaginable hardships. They understood the historic magnitude of their endeavor. Against all odds, they overcame a force substantially more advanced and powerful, the global giant of the 18th century, the British Empire. For the first time in human history, a nation ruled by “we the people” was established.
Because of its freedoms, America became powerful magnet that has attracted people of every race, gender, age and religious conviction from every corner of the world. Expressions like “shining city on the hill” and “beacon of the world” may seem to have become hackneyed clichés, but there is a reason Americans have used them so often. They communicate a clear and powerful message. Each human heart desires to live freely because by His design, God Himself intends us to live freely.

eennhhh...a little issue at hand is the American Communist Revolution which occurred 11/03-11/04/2020...
Well done. Good article.
For the record, this the author:
“ Chenyuan Snider was raised in Communist China and majored in Chinese language and literature in college. After immigrating to the U.S. and having studied at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary and Duke Divinity School, she became a professor and taught at Christian colleges and seminary. After March of this year, she sensed God was leading her to use her unique voice to provide a warning about various kinds of Marxist influences in our society. She lives in northern California with her husband and has two grown children.”
Americans have seemingly willingly bent over and taken it over these “vax” mandates, or requirements, as the criminal administration likes to call them.
People seem to like the idea of freedom but overall prefer to be taken care of. The chains of slavery to the government seem to rest far too easy on most people.
“Well done. Good article.”
I second that, and there is nothing better than personal experience to see truth.
US soldiers wear body armor that .223 bullets will bounce off of.
I am convinced that only GOD can grant this to a people, to overcome a greater force of tyranny foreign and (especially) domestic. He did once, Will He again?
As always, I am pessimistic about man but optimistic about God.
Not one person has filed suit to remove Rebel Joe Biden under Amendment XIV, Section 3.
Rebel Joe Biden has been rebelling against the Constitution since his Brady Bill days.
Excellent - thanks for posting...
I’m convinced there’s a way out of this tyranny, and it doesn’t require firing a shot, marching in the streets, committing a crime, being arrested for civil disobedience, or even letting your neighbors or coworkers know you’re doing it. It’s perfectly legal, and can be completely anonymous if you wish. Two words:
Economic Blackout.
If you can convince 30-40% (or more) of the population to stop participating for a month, in anything, you’ll bring them to their knees. Money and information (monetized information) are far more powerful (and important) today than during the Revolution, or even 50 years ago, especially in first-world societies where we live in relative comfort.
Organize an Economic Blackout for one month — don’t purchase anything, don’t watch television, don’t participate in society in ANY way outside of work or home, and you’ll win this fight. If one month doesn’t work, extend it to three, and keep doing it until it works.
I guarantee they’ll fold far faster than many folks realize, once they see the economic implications.
Hers is a strong voice, me thinks.
The Montgomery bus boycott worked.
We HAD a Constitution.
ALL of our elected AND appointed abrogated it on Usurpation Day.
The ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia has corrupted our ENTIRE government, top to bottom.
