Good War or Bad War?

There once was a cry: "No taxation without representation!" The People had no say in how much they paid, nor how and where it was spent. The more essential cry, no longer taught in academia, was: "No king but Jesus!" The king was appointing church leaders, and thereby establishing what would be preached as religious truths, and what was heresy.

The ability to communicate these cries verbally and in print was how common people were able to organize and defeat the greatest army of the time. The Constitution was written to prevent and warn posterity from falling into these traps of bondage. This is what the First Amendment is all about, and why it is the first specifically protected right.

Of course, the guns and ammo were indispensable, as well. Fortunately, they were able to steal them from the British, the first batch right here in New Hampshire. The Second Amendment is second only because it is for the protection of people's lives and other freedoms, not their salvation.

These are self-protecting rights, if wielded and used effectively. If abandoned, rights, like gold coins on the ground, will be picked up and pocketed by strangers; lost forever, and they won't be retrieved without a fight. As is undeniably stated and repeated; God endows rights and the Constitution was written to protect them from the government.

As Hugo Chavez is sending troops into rice processors, nationalizing them and telling the owners "they will be paid with paper, not cash, because I say so", our government is buying banks and companies here in the same fashion with our grandchildren's money; paper. Both claim it must be done for the good of the people, yet, it's the corporations and the governments who are benefiting.

Our Senators, Representatives and President have just signed into law a bill they didn't even read. Isn't that a dereliction of duty, and therefore, an impeachable offense? This law imposes taxes upon people who haven't even been born yet, never mind represented. Their subsequent spending bill continues the full run on the private sector by the government. No wonder the market is crashing. If I were one of the "Super Rich", I would be flying my jet out of here to almost anywhere else, before all my money was stolen. As a commoner, I'm screwed.

Churches are threatened when they preach or act contrary to LAWS made by Congress. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."

A religious establishment is a statement of fact based upon religious beliefs and writings. My religion establishes that; "In the beginning, God created...", yet our Congress makes laws supporting and respecting the government schools' establishment that He didn't! Congress even compels all The People to pay for the commission of mortal sins by giving tax money to organizations like Planned Parenthood. Congress has established that abortion is a right, not a sin! Not to be outdone, President Obama has opened the floodgates for our tax money to promote and perform the mass murders of innocent humans, and the experimentation with the remains, as science continues the launch toward Eugenics and human cloning.

Now threats are being aimed at everybody. Silencing free speech, like some organizations I support, near election times was not "reform", and is helping to ruin our free election system. Their next stop (unintended pun) is aimed at "Talk Radio". This is where The People still have a megaphone, especially "Religious Talk Radio", which counters the lies and pronounces The Gospel, God's Truth.

The Bible does state that we are to be obedient to the rulers He has placed over us. We are to "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's..." We are also specifically warned that the government is given power by God to wield the sword, for our own good, and to protect people from unbridled evil. God can, and has, changed the hearts of rulers throughout history. Jesus had also told His followers near the end of His time on Earth; "if any man has two cloaks, let him sell one and buy a sword". God also answered prayers and performed miracles to birth this nation.

Therefore, the following questions scream for answers, which I don't have yet:

1. Has America become a defacto dictatorship?

2. When is it Biblically correct to resist and revolt?

3. Was the Revolutionary War a good war or a bad war?

I'm praying and searching His Word. I hope you will too. Send some answers and “unapologetic opinions” to the blog, (same name). Anonymity is ok because the truth is self-evident and has no human author. God does give some folks glimpses, though, and sharing them is edification for the rest of us.

Of course, all speech and action must be tested by scripture; God's laws, so don’t be fooled by the wolves in sheep’s clothing which roam freely. As was said about the countenance of Satan; 'he will appear as an angel of light', promising peace.
