To: America's Resolve

It has been reported that a large number of NO police officers deserted. One writer said in a novel: "Only a thin blue line seperates us from the jungle". If this doesn't illustrate the point nothing does. Also it was John Calvin who taught the "total depravity of the human heart". NO=QED. signed: Ex-Cop.

"Only a thin blue line seperates us from the jungle."

That's not always the case at all. In fact, recent history is filled with examples of people who behaved in a perfectly orderly manner under duress during some kind of catastrophe.

Hurricane Katrina has simply lifted up a rock that once hid a lot of vermin underneath, and now that they are scurrying about in the sunlight we feel some kind of pathological need to pretend we never knew they were there.

THE LORD TAUGHT THAT THE HEART WAS WICKED. Lets give credit where credit is due. Calvin merely emphasized and expounded upon what Jeremiah the prophet spoke and also David. Jer 17:9 The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Psa 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.

Psa 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. I'm touchy about giving the Lord the credit first and than the Reformers.

"Only a thin blue line seperates us from the jungle".


And hence the Founding Fathers thus created the Second Amendment.


Lock and Load, boys and girls!
