In 1749, Pastor Jonathan Mayhew argued against the “blind obedience to the government” interpretation to Romans 13 that some Christians take when he proclaimed, “It is blasphemy to call tyrants and oppressors God’s ministers. They are more properly ‘The Messengers of Satan to buffet us.’ No rulers are properly God’s ministers, but such as are ‘just, ruling in the fear of God.’ When once magistrates act contrary to their office, and the end of their institution when they rob and ruin the public, instead of being guardians of its peace… they immediately cease to be the ordinance and ministers of God, and no more deserve that glorious character than common pirates and highwaymen.”
“Thus, upon a careful review of the apostle’s reasoning in this passage, it appears that [Paul’s] arguments to enforce submission are of such a nature as to conclude only in favor of submission to such rulers as he himself describes; i.e., such as rule for the good of society, which is the only end of their institution. Common tyrants and public oppressors are not entitled to obedience from their subjects by virtue of anything here laid down by the inspired apostle.”
It seems that many Americans are living in a fantasy land. Pretending that we can achieve utopia if we can just pass the right laws. No one will ever get their feelings hurt again. Everyone is normal, (except the people who say that not everyone is normal). We can help transgendered transvestite weirdos by letting them choose the bathroom that matches the gender in their depraved mind rather than the gender dictated by their chromosomes.
The sad part is that the people living in this fantasy land aren’t only the pervert kid and his sick parents. Judges live there, too.
The only right thing for this school district to do is not let boys use the girl’s bathroom, and do everything they can to avoid paying these people. It’s more important to do the right thing than to kow tow to a bunch of weirdos.
The 4th Amendment is more important than the safety of the police and more important than the safety of the citizens. Those who give up freedom for security will end up with neither.
These cops don’t know what a phone is. I wonder if they eventually called in a detective to investigate the device. The sad part is they’ll probably be promoted to detective.
By the way, the 1st Amendment protects our right to film public officials performing their duty.
Clearly this deputy thinks he can do whatever he wants. It’s one thing to slap someone around when you have a badge and gun, and another to slap someone when they can defend themselves. The only reason he doesn’t get slapped back is because the victim knows he’ll get arrested or shot.
This is the best thing you’ve ever seen in your life. At least in the top 10. I considered naming my 2nd child Milton because Milton Friedman is a genius.
There are 10 parts and it will take an investment of time to watch them all, but it is well worth it. I’ll post the first one and I’m sure you can find the rest.
