This whole business of our foreign policy, supporting the country or the president, the domestic policy, all those issues that hotly divides people on this forum remind me of some verses in 2 Timothy. Interesting thing about the Bible is that though its contents are of a spiritual nature they are pertinent to the entirety of life.
The verses I refer to talk of godless men who take on a form of godliness and lead captive silly women. Modern sensibilities treat this verse as a grievous example of sexism thus shutting their ears to a great truth. Generally speaking men are associated with logic and women emotion. "Silly women" is a metaphor for being ruled by emotion and the result of not critically analyzing is being led astray, captured by pernicious doctrines. Since we all have testosterone and estrogen in our make up all are susceptible.
Take this to the world of modern politics and places like this forum we see good people ruled by emotion - love of country, fear of enemies at the gate whether it be foreign terror or Democrats at home, faith in someone who says what we want to hear. Logically love of country does not mean blind allegiance to the government. The founders themselves warned against government. Fear is a powerful emotion which underscores the old adage that people will gladly trade liberty for security. Fear of external threat rallies us to our government and makes us accept what normally would be totally unacceptable. Fear of Democrats keeps conservatives from forming a viable alternative to the globalist socialism of the establishment Republicans. Like the emotional mother whose child is arrested who refuses to believe that her son is guilty because "her boy wouldn't do such a thing" conservatives can not accept the truth of where their leadership is taking them.
