Here’s a quote from a random stranger on Facebook. I really think he hits the nail on the head.
“Okay, let’s be real. They don’t care about people dying. They care about conformity enforcement. For them, their community told them to do something, their community dictates their actions to them because that’s part of being in a society for them — they are cogs in a machine. And seeing other humans in the same community not marching in lockstep with everybody else is jarring for them. That’s why there are so many Karens calling the cops on people going outside. They’re just going along with and enforcing their culture’s collective action. Whether it is effective or harmful is, to them, beside the point.”
Awesome Quote
Nicholas Perez writes, “Foreign dictators like the Federal Beast, and the 50 States are not civil governments by a Biblical standard. These tyrants have conquered us, and if we call evil good by legitimizing their rule, we will never put them under Christ’s feet.”
“We must work/pray together toward peaceful rebellion, and undermine the Beast from all angles–voting and running for office are not excluded from our subterfuge. What cannot be tolerated is calling the Beast a “civil government.” For Christians, civil governments is an institution prescribed by God’s law. It must not be confounded with foreign dictators, such as we see in D.C.. How can we ever defeat evil if we call evil good?”
How Public School Fosters Socialism and Communism
That’s a great video, and she makes great points. I’m sure elsewhere, she’s covered the fact that the whole thing is funded by socialism. People without kids and people who don’t send their kids to public school and those who are morally opposed to government education (me) are still forced to pay via property taxes. And don’t think that if you’re a renter that you get out of paying property tax.
It’s Free
The following comes from Jerri Lynn Ward.
Hi! I am an American parent. I willingly send my children as young as 5 years old to be educated by people I don’t know because it’s FREE! Aren’t I smart? I know the teachers might be Commies and that they might make my kids learn about anal sex as practiced by sodomites, but it is FREE! I know my 5 year old might get beat up on the bus, but it is FREE! I know that education majors are taught bullshit and come from the stupid category of college majors, but it is FREE! I know that government schools outlaw the influence of Christ, but I can make up for 38 hours a week of humanism with 30 minutes of Sunday School at my mega church. Besides, it’s FREE!
Lying Cops #1014 – Des Moines, Iowa Edition
The narrator on this video explains the lies very thoroughly. I keep debating about whether these cops are lying about whether people have to identify themselves or whether they’re truly in error. I think these cops are just this stupid and untrained as to think that people have to hang on their every word and obey their every whim. I hope this guy sues this PD and gets a huge check.
Here’s my next question. Why does the DA take a case like this to court? The DA knows the law.
This is my strategy if I find myself being harassed by cops:
1. Don’t answer any police questions–even the greeting like, “How are you?” If you answer the initial questions, they will get suspicious when you refuse to answer the more incriminating questions.
2. Avoid being arrested, because even though this case shouldn’t have gone to trial, thank God the jury acquitted. But I have shocking news for you. A good percentage of our fellow citizens are bootlicking statists, and the outcome of a jury trial is a crap shoot. I don’t want to be arrested or face a jury, even if I’m 100% correct and have taken pains to ensure I’m within the law.
Here’s the video of the lying cops of Des Moines, Iowa.
Here’s What Happens When You Reject Theonomy
This Amburgy guy says we’re not under the Old Testament law, so we don’t have to worry about that. He’s read the Bible dozens of times, and he had an exact count. Yet just reading it hasn’t seemed to help him very much. If you reject theonomy, this is the kind of stupid stuff you end up saying.
He says that in Islamic countries, it is just to cut off a thief’s hand! I have no idea what to say. Is justice different in Muslim countries? Why would justice change from place to place? God’s throne is built on righteousness and justice, but he doesn’t really care what justice is on earth? What a stupid thing to say.
Maybe he needs to read the Bible several dozen more times.
And to think that a theonomist who wants to apply God’s perfect law to society is saying that our salvation is anything but a free gift is silly.
I’ve yet to hear a good argument against theonomy that doesn’t eventually lead to some sort of abject stupidity. It was just much easier to get out of Glenn than it is out of most other people.
Trump Isn’t Pro-Life
If you want to lose the debate on abortion, and ensure that it stays legal for another 47 years, this is the moronic line of argumentation you should use.
He’s pro-life unless the baby’s father is a rapist, or may endanger the mother. Then, the baby is apparently subhuman, and can be cut into pieces. And ol’ Mr. greatest gift to the pro-life movement is actually pro-choice.
If you want to start winning this debate, you have to hold a consistent position. Abortion is murder, because babies are human from conception. The baby of a rapist is still a human with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If a pregnancy is risking the life of the mother, both the mother and the baby should receive the maximum amount of medical treatment available. (I don’t know what kind of mother would say that if her life was in danger, her child should be hacked to pieces.)
In reality, this is generally the pro-life position, certainly of elected officials. If this is what passes for pro-life, we need to put an end to the pro-life movement. there is a movement to abolish abortion, and this movement is called abolitionism. That is what I am, and there is no peace with child sacrifice in abolitionism.
Should Israel Have Open Borders, Too?
Someone asked that question on Facebook, and here is the awesome response by Nicholas Perez.
“Country” is a confusing word, because it is foreign to the Bible. When we impose our contemporary concept of “nation state” on the Bible, we are bound to get confused, because “nations” in the Bible were people united by a common god, and Israel was united by it’s being being governed by the law of the one, true God. Nation states as we know them today are united by a common government, which is why I do not identify as an American. I am a Christian, and I am ruled by God’s law. True, I am commanded to submit to the pagan rulers set over me, but only until their evil rule is overthrown, and righteousness is established.
The reason I bring that up first is that I would not want to confuse a “nation,” as we know them today, with a Biblical nation.
In order to speak without confusion, we would not ask ourselves whether a pagan “nation” like Israel or the USA ought to have open borders. That is like asking, “Should a homosexual man stop cheating on his husband?” The question is nonsense, because homosexuality is evil, and their “marriage” is illegitimate, null, and void. The same is true of nation states as we know them. Their very existence is illegitimate, null, and void. To ask whether or not an illegitimate entity should not violate the right of travel of free people is a nonsense question, and a redundancy when worded accurately. What the homosexual in the analogy really needs is to repent and submit to God’s law. Once he does that, EVERYTHING will change.
The same is true of Israel and the US. Everything must change, and once they submit to God, they will not only open up their borders. They will cease to be nation states, for there is no such thing as a Biblical nation state (in the sense that we know them).
Perhaps a better and more direct way to answer your question is if you were asking it this way, “Did the Biblical nation of Israel have open borders, even though they were surrounded by their enemies?” The simple answer is, yes. It did.
Good Point
“What if I proposed that we hand three sticks of dynamite and a detonator to anyone who asked for them. All an applicant would need is money to pay for the explosives. You’d have to be an idiot to agree with my plan—at least based on the assumptions you picked up in school about human nature and human competence. And yet gasoline, a spectacularly mischievous explosive, dangerously unstable and with the intriguing characteristic as an assault weapon that it can flow under locked doors and saturate bulletproof clothing, is available to anyone with a container. Five gallons of gasoline have the destructive power of a stick of dynamite. The average (automobile) tank holds fifteen gallons, yet no background check is necessary for dispenser or dispensee. As long as gasoline is freely available, gun control is beside the point.” – John Taylor Gatto
Cheering for tyranny
Why are our freedoms vanishing? Is it because the tyrants are so clever and they are able to overcome the wishes of the people? How do we get these freedoms back? Is voting the solution?
Our freedoms are vanishing because that’s what people want. They want to give up their freedom and be under the boot of a tyrant. They cheer for the tyrants.
That is what I see in this Daily Record article. The “conservative” Republican leaders and constituents cheered for an evil building code enforcer. I don’t care how nice he may have been, his job was to make sure that people don’t exercise too much freedom, and to aid in the process of property tax collection. The assessor needs accurate data to collect taxes via the most evil form of taxation.
I’m all for building safe buildings and inspecting the work of others. That is required in Scripture as part of the command to not commit murder. However, government is the worst way to accomplish that, and that was only a small part of this guy’s job. Government is completely out of control in their interference of the building process, and here, this guy gets slapped on the back and congratulated. He is the enemy of freedom and of the principles this country was founded on.
So, NO, the tyranny won’t be solved by voting harder next November, or any November, until a good percentage of the people repent and learn how to discern good and evil. Until guys like this are tarred and feathered rather than congratulated, there is no hope.
