For several thousand years, the Bible has been a source of understanding for educated men and women. I noticed the following verse from Proverbs chapter 29 tonight as I was reading my Bible. It's simply amazing how much this book applies even today.
By justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down.
It is time for this country to start facing up to the facts. We have all of the trappings of religion, but we aren't a religious or spiritual country. The Bible lays out a hard truth for us: we got ourselves into this mess when government stopped being about protecting life, liberty and property.
Social conservatives are just as implicated as liberals in this. The key to "saving America" is getting our government back to first principles, forcing people to accept responsibility for themselves and their children and providing them a framework in which to do that.
America can be saved, but it will come at a great cost to our society. We will have to stop relying on others for what we ought to do on our own, and for conservatives that will mean doing the unthinkable on two fronts. Not only will we have to restore liberty and responsibility, but we will have to restore our military to the model our founders intended. That would mean, reducing it to the status and capabilities of a "self-defense force," a military incapable of going beyond providing a rapid response before the militias can be called up to form a standing army.
I say these things reluctantly. I have come to realize lately that historically a government big enough to project itself abroad and influence the world will not bring justice to its people. It is time for America to demilitarize, downsize its police forces, cut regulation and taxes, let people live, hold them accountable for hurting others and to stop finding petty, ideological excuses to avoid the lessons of history.
So, on behalf of my countrymen, I applaud the FBI for taking down corrupt members of Congress on both sides. This should be only the beginning. For too long we have used half-baked excuses like "serving the needs of their constituents" to mask the very obvious fact that we'd call it systematic corruption if it were in any government but our own.
May Jefferson be only the beginning. Heads should roll, terror should fill the hearts of Congressmen who have taken bribes. Bring our military back home to be with its families, stop worrying about the rest of the world and focus on getting our collective house in order. Most importantly, Mr. Bush, if you are indeed a Christian, you will recognize that we are at a critical moment in our history. We are about to lose our country's very soul to corruption and blatant hatred of our traditions and Constitution. For the love of God, bring the iron fist of the state to bear on the culture of corruption with a fury so terrible that the reverberations of your inquisition will be with us for a thousand years.
"Most importantly, Mr. Bush, if you are indeed a Christian, you will recognize that we are at a critical moment in our history."
hahahahaha...monkey man is nothing but a moronic puppet for his globalist handlers...Christian indeed...
I wonder why the FBI has suddenly been permitted to bring down these filthy scumbags...doesn't seem to jive with "business as usual" in D.C., so I wonder if there is something afoot...guess we will find out...oh, and each and every one of the 62 Senators that passed that disgusting bill today should be publicly hung as traitors to the country...
It was probably because one of his cronies told him that the people are starting to get pissed off at the cesspool of corruption that Congress has become and he'd win some points for poking it with a stick. That's all they've done so far: poke it with a stick. If the President were serious, I have little doubt that there'd be at least twenty arrests and indictments by now, not just four to five actions altogether.
