What you smell is the stench of a dying republic.
Our dying republic.
We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic.
In reality, we are caught somewhere between a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) and a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens).
For years now, the government has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with the American people, letting us enjoy just enough freedom to think we are free but not enough to actually allow us to live as a free people.
In other words, we’re allowed to bask in the illusion of freedom while we’re being stripped of the very rights intended to ensure that we can hold the government accountable to abiding by the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution.
Freedom no longer means what it once did.
This holds true whether you’re talking about the right to criticize the government in word or deed, the right to be free from government surveillance, the right to not have your person or your property subjected to warrantless searches by government agents, the right to due process, the right to be safe from militarized police invading your home, the right to be innocent until proven guilty and every other right that once reinforced the founders’ commitment to the American experiment in freedom.
Perhaps life in this nation/world will get much worse than we've ever considered. Perhaps then more people will stop trying to fix the system and change people with the use of politics and finally be drawn to repent of their idolatries and place their hope in Christ Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing in individuals in this world is Christ in you, the hope of Glory.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Nice post from commentator about said Article. IMO, the citizen's need a come to Jesus time if pushed to the brink as indicated as such; yes, most Americans are aware, we pray, we vote, we try to make a difference trust me, and yet infiltration in every sense has been allowed to come here, IMO! Of course our Government disrespects us, our Constitution if we just look at open borders incentivized by us paying for many folks to illegally enter our borders as Gov. slaps us in the face, IMO, and there is the whole Orwellian Police State in motion. Only good thing, God can interfere with man's Technology, plans to subvert, and keep us safe while walking with Christ through this nonsense, so pray for divine timing as to when mankind fights the good fight for honor, and hits their mark; the wake-up call is to bring more souls to Christ, many are lost because the messes are piling up and it's ridiculous, life is for joy, love, hope, faith, enjoy the moment!
