Skywise: Should’ve followed Jefferson’s example when he counted the votes his way. (Post #4)
What (Pastor) Mike Pence's proper decision did was to expose the whole national audience--yea, the whole world--to the inefficacy of Bidenesque socialism, a lesson that weakly allegiant governmentarian supporters needed to learn (but have they, yet?). No doubt he greatly hated to have to make this lawfully correct decision against his own interests as well as Trump's.
But what that decision did not provide was a path to termination of that kind of leadership, because it put in power an anti-Constitutional, anti-law hand(s)-behind-the-throne authoritarian structure that, so far, has been successful in escaping the inevitable consequences of it.
There is only one way a pastor can direct a suffering plebescite of predominantly wrong-minded voters, and that is to individually turn to God and His Son from a sin-sick mentality, and begin to learn what true freedom is.
In fact, that is what our Founders did that resulted in a revolution against a domineering abusive monarchy, a Biblical position that its liberal seminary-trained religionists have since gradually given up in the last hundred years.
So now we see what the "social gospel," introduced by the "Christian"(?) socialist (click here) and first president of Britain's Christian Social Union, the Bishop of Durham Brooke Foss Westcott (click here). He, with his disciple Fenton John Anthony Hort, rewrote the Greek textform that now undergirds and changes the nature and interpretation of most modern English translations of the Bible, and hence the philosophies of influential large denominational church bodies, necessarily redirecting the desires of its voting constituents from Godly purposes to social (sinful) pursuits.
Like Hillary Rodham Clinton, for instance. And many others, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, et cetera. But not (supposedly) constituents of an autonomous assembly of Baptists.
But as I dare say, not Mike Pence, who obeyed the Founder-written and approved, Constitutional, Federalist charter in his critical decision that is in view in this article as his operational principle.
Is there a way back from this vector into Marxism?
I don't know, but I'll cling to the Cross of The Christ as the Founder-anticipated sole solution, as enunciated by Justice John Jay and proclaimed to be the national cornerstone.
"In God we trust" (?)
So - again - you say Pence had no power here.
If he’s so noble why are you and he championing his action that he had no power to affect?
