After one year of the Biden presidency, it is clear that his administration is focused on weakening and even removing the constitutional underpinnings of America. The same underpinnings that our Founding Fathers put in place to safeguard us from human nature.
The question is— are we surprised to see where we are as a country? I’m not. When I look around at our culture, I see darkness. A culture made up of people who have little regard for biblical morality.
The prophet Isaiah warned about where we are today when he wrote, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)
We are living in a day where a major political party along with their allies in the media believe that men can become women and women can become men. This same party fosters lawlessness in American cities and ignores the laws designed to keep our borders sovereign and secure. Democrats hate everything about America and the ideals she was founded on.
To the contrary, the other party looks good on paper, but their leaders don’t know how to fight for what they believe in. Republicans are a great minority party but don’t expect much to get done once they’re in the majority. I guess you could say the same thing about Democrats. All talk and no action is how I describe the political show in Washington. It’s the most intense pillow fight on earth.
America was founded by men who understood human nature. In 1798, Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Kentucky Resolutions, “In questions of powers, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”
There’s plenty of mischief going on in the District of Columbia. A specific force cited in the Constitution that can be used to prevent man from mischief is the electorate.
After seeing wickedness advance throughout American culture and in our nation’s capital I have become more convinced that our country is in desperate need of good men and women to enforce a major course correction.
This is going to have to happen in several parts of society. Course correction must take place in each home, the local church, the workplace, and city halls. Men must take control of their household and begin effectively leading their families teaching their children right from wrong— what is good and what is evil. The faithful must be engaged in their churches and support their pastors in the shepherding of the body of Christ toward obedience to Scripture. Godly men and women must be leaders in the workplace— not just leaders but moral leaders that shun evil and promote good, but leaders with integrity. Lastly, godly men and women must be engaged in the electing of moral individuals to serve in government. Taking their entire household to vote for those who know right from wrong and aren’t afraid to speak the truth.
I don’t hesitate to criticize the political class in Washington and across state capitals around the country that have often been too concerned with their political future as opposed to the future of our country. They deserve every ounce of criticism for selling our country in exchange for access by special interests and corporate elites solely focused on profit as opposed to people.
The glaring issue is that these individuals are elected by you and me. It is time that the American electorate take control of this country and put an end to the insanity. Many people are fed up with the American system of government to such an extent that they want to throw their hands up and walk away. I know people who feel this way. They’ve disengaged out of frustration and lack of tangible results. We must not fall prey to this indifference.
God commands His people to be salt and light no matter their circumstances. Disengagement is a tool of the enemy. A strategy that will surely end in defeat. Are there enough good people to enforce a major course correction and get this country on a path that embraces biblical morality? I don’t know. History is full of examples of God using average men and women to bring about radical change. If course correction is to come about in America, it will begin household by household and neighborhood by neighborhood.
Amen!
The problem is the Republicans are not a great minority party. The GOP elders are actually in league with Democrats. They vilify and destroy any conservative candidate who stands for the people.
Perhaps the real discussion is the rot party politics cause. Our own founder George Washington felt that the party would become more important than the people.
He was right.
None of this will end until Americans stand up like the Canadians are now which make them fear us instead of us fearing them.
Are you ready for that to happen?
Politicians are all talk, unless the power shift benefits them. The ones holding to their oaths are few and far between.
And that is BOTH parties involved. Neither is beholden to their constituents, after they implore them to be elected and re-elected. Special interests, their own wallet, and un-ending cash from wealthy corporate donors keep them bought and paid for, until election time, when they all become a 'man of the people' candidate.
No law deters them, no law affects them, but every law they do pass affects every one of us. We are long overdue for term-limits for Congress, and as long as there is no end to how long they can serve, you will continue to get people like Pelosi, McConnell, who have made millions on the knowledge they are privy to and any of us would have the SEC up our ass, and have us in jail for the insider trading these folks get away with year after year.
Cowardice is the cornerstone of a lot of wickedness. This guy gets a lot of things right but he’s missing a key point. He sort of dances around his point but never states it.
“God commands His people to be salt and light no matter their circumstances. Disengagement is a tool of the enemy. A strategy that will surely end in defeat. Are there enough good people to enforce a major course correction and get this country on a path that embraces biblical morality? I don’t know. History is full of examples of God using average men and women to bring about radical change.”
He doesn’t mention bravery, however. Cowardice on the part of otherwise good people allows wickedness to flourish in a way that it cannot in a community that’s completely grown away from the value of moral behavior.
“...God using average men and women to bring about radical change.”
He’s not going to get much use from you if you’re a coward.
You know, the kind of coward who watches illegal alien invaders and LGBTXYZ terrorists take over his local courts and school system and just sits and complains about it on the internet. The kind of coward who votes the way his boss or union tells him to. The kind of coward who lies about being vaccinated to keep peace in the family. (If you lie about vaccination to SAVE your family, that’s a different deal.)
I see cowardice as one of the driving forces of the Great Reset. They KNOW you won’t stand up to them, except in a way that is likely to get you killed - i.e., when you finally snap and go postal.
Your cowardice keeps you pinned to the television out of the belief that you’re causing beneficial change by complaining about some dumb commentator - who probably makes enough in one month to pay off the entire note on your house and who will NEVER be effectively confronted over any of his irresponsible, destructive statements. Forget those guys! They sit behind a microphone and tell you to get out there and risk your life to enhance their own earning power and influence.
It’s not easy to figure out how to be brave in such a restricted world. Doubtless the Jan 6 protesters were convinced that they were being brave - now some of them are learning the true meaning of bravery as they watch their lives slip away from them in illegal detention while their families have to figure out how to get along without them. Bravery takes a hit.
As an example of what I mean by bravery: I recall watching a guy - surely a Democrat and a liberal, but he was just fed up to HERE with living California and he and his wife were going to take their child and move somewhere else to start a new life. Both the man and woman had successful businesses before the “pandemic” BS started but they didn’t care - they were giving up on California. I doubt if they’ll ever turn into conservatives - you never know, though! - but I wish them the best of luck. They realized that b1tching isn’t going to work, here, and that it’s time for action.
Step out of your comfort zone, even if it’s in some small, scarcely noticeable way. Connect with your local Tea Party, become involved in the electoral process - you don’t have to be an “important person,” you can volunteer. You don’t have to protest or get in people’s faces, but don’t roll over for something. So many times in my life that I felt like I should speak out and I didn’t - that still bothers me, even though I do feel like I’m making a difference now. You’re running the chance of dying with a bunch of serious regrets, believe me, if you don’t act.
Stop apologizing for stuff that you do and say. (Did it help Mr Rogan? Now he just looks like a pu$$y - a pu$$y whose business is crippled, marked for elimination.)
Starve the Beast. Stop getting upset about what’s on TV - it’s SUPPOSED to upset you to the point that you’re so confused you just keep playing the game. (I told Mr K - not the one on this forum - long ago that he should stop listening to the radio because he gets really emotional about what they’re saying a lot of the time - he invests too much emotion in REACTING to what he’s hearing so that he has none left to think about how he’s going to deal with the looming chaos as our society falls apart.)
The guys on the radio/TV are not going to step up and save you when they come to confiscate your firearms or bring a bunch of illegal alien gangsters to be housed on your property.
We’re always talking about how the pro-vaccination people are dooming themselves and this group of people is erasing itself from existence, and so on and so forth - if this is true, the future will be a lot brighter just because those folks won’t be around anymore. Forget them, too! (Even if you are hella old, you may very well outlive a lot of the rabid pro-vax people, if you take care of yourself during this time and employ common-sense health measures.)
It’s really all about you and whether you will survive or not. Be brave.

Eye Opening....excellent read about the fate of empires.
We cannot vote our way out at this point. That point was already past in 2016, though it was not so obvious back then.

Are they? Maybe some, but plenty are not - Creepy Joe being Exhibit A.
Men can scarcely be blamed for not learning from the history they are taught. There is nothing to learn from it, because it is not true.
Note, the “they are taught”.
So, we need to learn the real history and tell the stories.
The Constitution was abrogated on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, when ALL of our elected AND appointed swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation was not possible without the complete cooperation of the GOP.
Same as the Big Steal.
Proverbs 14
Always a good read. I also like Color Code of mental awareness.
Very few will read your article and reflect on it.
Our path will be the same but different.
We can read it and be depressed. The Invisible Hand has the big picture. The battle is the Lord’s.
BUT
We are called to pick up our short sword and engage one other person. Just one at a time. The are many small engagements to be won.
For some reason you made me reread it again with lips moving. This spoke this morning:
This business of being a sheep or a sheepdog is not a yes-no dichotomy. It is not an all-or-nothing, either-or choice. It is a matter of degrees, a continuum. On one end is an abject, head-in-the-grass sheep and on the other end is the ultimate warrior. Few people exist completely on one end or the other. Most of us live somewhere in between. Since 9-11 almost everyone in America took a step up that continuum, away from denial. The sheep took a few steps toward accepting and appreciating their warriors, and the warriors started taking their job more seriously. The degree to which you move up that continuum, away from sheephood and denial, is the degree to which you and your loved ones will survive, physically and psychologically at your moment of truth.
n Congress, July 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
——————-
Our forefathers had the guts to carry this out with flintlocks. Who will step up and do what needs to be done.
the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,
Most today just know what they don’t want and won’t fight for it.
You have written the best synopsis of our current situation. Unfortunately the younger generations have been indoctrinated into the Marxist mindset since entering public school and become sheep being led to the slaughter. So who will standup and fight?
