Ten year olds go to “High School” in Washington state????
It would be a crime if you or I did it.
The lifeboat is all around you.
Governments derive their power from the obedience of the governed. The converse is equally true. Conservatives lose because they obey.
If you hand over your kids to caesar, you shouldn’t be surprised when they come back to you as romans.
Couldn’t disagree more.
Governments derive their power from the inattention of the governed.
We have not monitored and protested government actions at a level they hear and understand. We have allowed unfettered abortions, irresponsible spending, lawlessness on the part of the Executive and bureaucracies, unconstitutional decisions by the courts, decimation of our military, disrespect for our law enforcement, illegal activity by city governments, illegal immigrant violations, including drug and other criminal activity.
We are too busy watching TV and we are going to get what we deserve if the numbed electorate does not wake up, take action, and get on their knees to God.
Not likely to happen.
How bad do the government schools have to get before all those how aided and abetted the evil are held accountable? Evil in the the government schools requires cooperation of the teachers, school staff, legislators, school board members, parents, and taxpaying citizens. l
All government schooling is built upon an evil foundation. It is a socialist cartel monopoly. Government schooling is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination. It violates free speech, free exercise of religion, free press, and free assembly. It can not be reformed.
Well then we’re probably destined to disagree. We can pay attention to caesar till we’re blue in the face, he’s still going to do more or less exactly what he wants.
Every problem that you listed: legal infanticide, overspending, failure to abide by the Constitution, etc. are all constructs of caesar. Not God. And while the underlying principles of governance in America are quite good we forget something. Caesar is caesar, and God is God. It’s hard to serve two masters. Almost impossible to serve two masters well.
You note that we are too busy watching TV and should be on our knees praying. I agree that we should be praying, but that is for the greater glory of God and our relationship with our Lord. To the extent that caesar enters the picture it’s indirect.
In my faith we are instructed to pray for our leaders. I’m only human though and just mention their office and not the individual. :)
