“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.” Romans 13:1-4 (KJV)
God says that government is ordained of God, and we should honor and respect the government, and not rebel against it. God will severely punish those Christians who rebel against the government. However, God did not say he would punish rebellious Christians if the government is evil and goes against the word of God.
In Exodus 18:21a, we read, “Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness…” as rulers and servants of the people. God fearing, truthful, hating covetousness (wanting what everyone else has)…leaders, not people with evil ways.
Let us examine if OUR government is evil, and must be protested. The Bible says, thou shall not kill, yet the government authorizes abortions, and fights mightily and secretively those who protest this government sanctioned murder.
We have a president so inept that he is dangerous. This country has lost its honor and integrity overseas due to presidential priorities. Untold vacations, golf matches, and White House parties while civil wars ferment in the Middle East, the earthquake in Japan, subsequent tsunami, and possible nuclear melt down have about destroyed this island nation, but Mr. O spends his time playing golf, picking basketball teams, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, and leaves for Brazil for yet another vacation—sorry, he’s putting in a little work by discussing ways Brazil can help us (US) increase our manufacturing, and reduce unemployment.
We have navy ships in Bahrain, but when the civil war unrest started, did we reply? No, Saudi Arabia sent in forces to quell the unrest—will they quell this unrest like Libya has by dropping bombs and shooting with live ammunition, and making news correspondents disappear? Tunisia and Egypt have erupted and changed hands, and what does Mr. O say? “You (heads of countries) better stop fighting or, or, or….?” Yemen is erupting, and the government is shooting its people, and Mr. O says…nothing.
We have a president who promised change. Well, he has kept his promise.
When he took office in 2009, unemployment was 7.3%, it rose to over 10.1%, and now hovers at about 9.5%, not counting those who ran out of unemployment checks, or those who got so discouraged they quit looking.
In January, 2009 gasoline sold for $1.81, and how hovers around $3.60.
Mr. O promised to help people with their mortgages. Now 5.7 million people don’t have to worry about their mortgages. They have lost their homes and don’t have to pay them.
We now have a president against oil, gas, and nuclear energy for America. He has shown this by shutting down oil drilling, and blocking new areas where oil could be drilled. He refuses to allow new nuclear power plants licensed, and he is against coal energy, even though it is cleaner than it has been in the past. He sells American oil and coal to Japan and China. He has not pursued the precious metals needed to go forward. He has carried out draconian decrees to take away our choices in light bulbs, cars, and even what we feed our children.
Mr. O is for electric cars, but fails to connect the dots of where this electricity will come from. We can’t just plug our Volt into a tree. It must be connected to the grid somehow, Mr. O.
There was a story on TV this week about “food police” stopping people in grocery stores to go through their carts and expose the wrong foods they were about to buy and feed their families (all in the guise of educating them). Food prices are increasing dramatically, but by presidential decree, there will be no COLAs for folks on Social Security for the second straight year.
The president blames Congress for not passing a budget, but it was HIS party in office when the fiscal year ended October, 2010. His lack of leadership has the appearance of being almost deliberate. DOES HE REALLY WANT AMERICA TO FAIL—FALL?
Is this the motive for his dithering? Or is he just so incompetent?
In the book, The 5,000 Year Leap, A Miracle That Changed the World, by W. Cleon Skousen, Samuel Adams, one of the fathers of the American Revolution, is quoted saying, “Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise virtuous man.” (Subsequent quote taken from Wells’, Life of Samuel Adams.)
I have stopped feeling guilty about protesting the current state of affairs in our country. I now know it is my God given right and duty to protest, and to write, and to make noise. Please dear readers, don’t just believe everything you see and hear on mainstream media. What you don’t see or hear could fill volumes. Educate yourself. Search other web sites. Read conservative writers, both in print and on-line.
It is our duty and right to hold America accountable.
In God We Trust!! Verify everyone else!!!
