The Slave doesn't dream of being free, he dreams of being Master.
I don’t think you can fairly characterize Russian federal government as autocratic. The leftist Western media just likes to play that angle because government is Russia now is rather like U.S. government in the 1950’s.
Your post has nice thoughts and all but we are well past the Constitutional phase. Barring a Great Awakening, we are going to have war and a real autocratic government. Soon.
Yes — the constitution was built (albeit with flaws, such as the nod to chattel slavery) to work for a people having general Christian principles.
America would need to see a revival to survive in Constitutional form. It might well see a revival, not because of its own sake, but for the sake of one more demonstration of the glory of the Lord in salvation before the Holy Spirit goes bye-bye along with a raptured body of Christ.
As for autocratic — just ask: how many years has Russia depended on Vladimir Putin? How has he solidified his control? If a closet gay manages to worm his way up, Russia could go gay-gay overnight when Putin croaks.
It was a baleful idea, not even entertained by most of the actual slaves.
Barry Goldwater
As a matter of fact, as one of the six voting against the 1964 Civil rights act, Senator Goldwater, on principle, disagreed with the idea of Federal government intervention regarding this matter. “His stance was based on his view that the act was an intrusion of the federal government into the affairs of states and, second, that the Act interfered with the rights of private persons to do business, or not, with whomever they chose.”[3]

That’s the point. They aren’t really discriminate against homosexuals unless they are political homosexuals who are making a public message out of things which belong to a bedroom.

The Russian government is increasingly autocratic although not near to the point the media wants you to think it is. The authoritarian tendencies are all too clear to say otherwise.
Russia is also now grassroots anti-American and more so than at any point of Cold War for some reason.
And the problem that fifteen to ten years ago when the demonization of Russia started it was as free or had more freedoms than most of so-called free countries.
It basically means that there is nothing you can’t hate back into existence.
If he walks in holdinhands or hugging another guy you do.
Once the state took over moral matters that the churches ought to have been stumping for, we created a cruel god for ourselves.
I thought in Russia, guys kissed anyhow. Or is that in Italy?
God is looking over the scene and saying “ahem... ahem...” to the churches

me too but we lost it in the schools.
Goldwater was right.
It was better left to the individual states.
At least then if the state you lived in was making your life miserable you could go to another state.
When the Feds make a one rule fits all you have nowhere to go.
I think it’s great that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have a great partnership. In them, we have 2 GREAT Christian warriors determined to save Christian civilization.
I don’t know what Trump and Putin are cooking up. But I know it’s going to be awesome. I don’t see how one could be a Trump supporter and not have great affection for Putin
Godless commies...
Because our Left, and thus our media, has decided they can use Islamics as part of their quest for power to fundamentally transform America.
Outstanding! Ban the buttpumper….
