I am ready for the call.

Something tells me it's never going to come, so depraved is this age.
Constitutional rule derives from a people who understand the nature and demands of the virtues and their relation to our final end. It is aware of an order transcendent to politics. Arbitrary rule arises when a leader, seeing that the people have no real order of soul, sees himself able to impose whatever form of rule that he thinks good for the people. Unless they acquiesce in this rule and its decrees, they are no longer citizens, whatever a written Constitution might say.

Americans... this is your future.
Obama isn’t “leader” enough to be mentioned in the same sentence as Hitler or Napoleon and yet here we are...
More depraved than Sodom and Gomorrah?

Men, therefore, in society having property, they have such right to the goods which by the law of the community are theirs, that nobody hath a right to take their substance or any part of it from them, without their own consent

when America stops slaughtering infants for convenience and profit, maybe, just maybe, the Almighty will relent. Until then, fuh-freaking-geddaboudit.

Hitler and Napoleon had the best interests of their nations in mind when they began. Obama has never been interested in improving the USA’s way of life or position in the world. He has been a destroyer from the beginning. He is more like a biblical plague than a leader.

no, I suppose not. Nor Babylon. But we seem to be a composite kingdom. And our Towers have already been torn down.

I saw it. There is more to “the call” that needs to be made than just ending abortion. This nation worships idols and other gods and that is its greatest sin against God. Even in many of our churches, we worship the things of this world. Ending abortion is not even a good start. The place to start is returning America to being a Christian nation, and then the abortion problem will solve itself.
Readers of Plato and Aristotle know their recurring thesis: a tyrant arises out of a democracy when the citizens have little or no inner principle of order other than what they will for themselves.
I'm convinced this is what has happened to our nation. This undoing of our love of freedom has taken decades to accomplish and much of it has been subtle and seemingly innocent. With a tidal wave there is drama and shock- with erosion there is slow and steady change. But look at the results- they are the same.
