Lawless

Lawless

Lawless: That is what Amerika is now. I usually make sure to use the name “United States of America”, but after this week, any idea that we were a union of sovereign states went up in Supreme Court smoke.  First the Supreme Court “ruled” that Arizona didn’t have enough sovereignty to police its own borders, and now today it upheld federally mandated healthcare that more than half the states were suing to stop. The Supreme Court has decided against state sovereignty twice in one week.

But wait there’s more!

Judas Roberts… sorry, “Justice” Roberts shocked constitutional conservatives today by a stunning betrayal, performing legal wording acrobatics that twisted constitutional logic like a carnival pretzel. He used a lot of words, but the bottom line is that he upheld Obamacare today by substituting the word “tax” for the word “mandate”. His convoluted explanation for this was that while congress does not have the authority to mandate that people buy something, they can make people pay for it so long as they use the word “tax” to do it. Ever seen a street con-man running a shell game with some nut shells and a little ball? That’s what happened at the Supreme Court today. Amerika got conned.

When you get conned you usually lose something. What we lost today was the rule of law. Our most basic law is the Constitution and nowhere in it was the federal government given the authority to do the kinds things it has been doing for the last several years. Originally it was called The Constitution for the United States because it was originally a bunch of states who were trying to figure out how to best unify while keeping their sovereignty intact. It was for the states, not imposed on them. The states empowered the federal government with only a limited amount of power and retained the rest for themselves. It worked great for a couple of hundred years. (The Civil War happened after the South lawfully seceded by unanimous vote of congress).

Today though marks a new day in Amerika. Today the federal government can force individuals and States to do anything or stop us from doing anything it wants regardless of what the old irrelevant constitution has to say about it. There is a Marxist in the Whitehouse, a traitor at the head of the Supreme Court, and a congress that couldn’t keep its own lust for power in check if they were forced to watch the Star Wars clip of Chancellor Palpatine turning Anakin Skywalker to the dark side every day.

A wise man once said “All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”. In November, it is going to take a heck of a lot of good men and women voting for people who want to live in a free Constitutional Republic. Failing that, we are witnessing the end of the Republic. May God have mercy on our souls.

The Moral Solution

The Moral Solution

Why are people so opposed to any solution that involves God or personal morality? Politics, business, and everyday life today is overrun with people clamoring for and offering solutions to problems but virtually every single one is based not on a real solution, but on alleviating the effects of the problems. The root cause is rarely addressed. Symptoms are what get the attention.

Got a problem paying bills because you bought a bunch of stuff you really didn’t need and couldn’t afford? Get a loan and poof!  Your money problem is gone… until the loan is due and then you owe the loan company more than you did before. A lot of cities, states, and even whole nations are facing the same problem right now and they are all following the same model. Get a loan and poof! All our money problems are gone… until the debt is so heavily leveraged that one last little straw brings down the first big domino that flattens everything and everyone in the nation.

Is the crime rate in your town skyrocketing because young men have no fathers at home to teach right from wrong and provide basic direction and correction? Why, those kids just need midnight basketball courts opened up for them to run off all that misdirected energy! More cops and bigger jails come when that fails and the crime problem is simply cuffed and stuffed until they are sprung and flung back out into society. The problem of broken dysfunctional homes and the practically wild kids that grow up to be violent thugs isn’t solved and the cost of it all swamps the city into bankruptcy and drives away businesses and people.

Don’t want to have to be “punished with a baby” (direct quote from Barack Hussein Obama explaining why abortion is a good thing) because you couldn’t control yourself long enough to use protection or *gasp* get a job and get married fist? No worries! The government will not prosecute the selfish murder of your unborn child just to alleviate the symptoms of your problem. Promiscuity and irresponsibility is never given a second thought and the results, like diseases without cures and the deaths of the unborn, just can’t be undone.

There comes a time when treating the symptoms alone, just doesn’t cut it anymore. Too much debt, too much crime, too much disease and death will conspire to destroy a nation from within; all for the want of the moral solution that was rejected. God. We were born into this world with nothing and can’t take a thing with us when we go. None of the stuff we amass, mess up, and chase after holds the solution to our most basic problem. The rejection of God and His basic morality of right and wrong will get us into deeper and deeper trouble the farther we get from God.

We need God. We need a moral direction for the things we do in life. America has forgotten that and we are paying the price. No government program; no amount of bailouts or business incentives are going to fix the mess we have gotten ourselves into because they are only temporary analgesics to the terminal cancer of a society that has traded it’s faith and dependence on the providence of the Almighty for the degenerative spiraling tyranny of government. Return to God America. Return to the moral solution.
