[Over the next week or two I am hoping to give some opinion towards Ron Paul's latest book.]
Preface
Dissenters who tell their fellow citizens what is really going on are subject to fear campaigns that, like clockwork, are aimed at the political heretic. Truth is reason in the empire of lies. (x)
The adage that there is a wall of separation between the Church and the State, based upon no evidence other than Jefferson’s non-presidential letter to a Quaker sect, is one of the founding lies of a liberal, Marxist regime, sadly coming from within the political sphere of the U.S, putting domination and centralization of power in the hands of a few Aristocratical elite. Suffice to say such separation is not to be found in the text of the Constitution, but is propagated as existing so as to rather build a wall between modernity and its birthright and inheritance, that is Freedom.
Paul’s aptly named political heretic and empire of lies are nothing more than a repetition of history, having devolved over the centuries from a world of corrupt religion into modernity’s corrupt world without religion; in other words, post-modern secularism and anti-intellectual evangelicalism.
The Newtonian world challenged the authority of the historical Papal regime, specifically in the area of scientific truth, seeking exploration without the hindrance of false Church dogma. Newton, and sadly, other initial Church-deemed heretics, including doctrinal heretics such as Luther and Calvin, did not live to see the truth of Christ fully realized in the context of societal evolution during their lifetime, that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. (John 8:32)
Fast-forward a few hundred years. The American government (through its indoctrinating establishments of the Marxist media, public education system, etc) has taken the seat as its own secular Papal regime hellbent on propagating falsities to spread its arm of control over the populace. And while today’s political heretic may or may not be God-fearing, no differently under America’s Godless regime do they suffer.
One of the lost methodoligies of the modern American political system is reason, which, as Paul defines, is Truth. We have already lost our Judean-Christian social morality over the past two hundred+ years as a nation which can be argued occurred through societal evolution, the trumping of secularist, atheistic science over the Biblical narrative, etc. And with the expulsion of that morality, our Greek inheritance of reason also made its exit. Without a neo-Rennaissance to rediscover the enlightenment of what reason and truth are for and to all forms of debate, including that of political debate, this age is then to be defined as a reversion to a new Dark Age. I hope there are more Ron Pauls out there who are ready and soon to speak out against the fascist darkening of not only the human mind but the American experience as well, for the pen is mightier than the sword.
The bail-out is mightier than the pen!
Borders, Language, Culture [to borrow from Michael Savage]. Should we be surprised bailouts are so mighty on account of the loss of those three nation-state cohesive necessities?
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Back in the dark ages (1950s and early 1960s) folk my age were taught in grammar school this amendment (Bill of Rights) was inserted so the Feds wouldn’t establish a “formal church” such as England had (the church of England or Anglican Church). It doesn’t say the feds cannot make laws that uphold God based moral codes such as the 10 Commandments.
So often these days if one displays the 10 commandments, they’re persecuted as if they’ve just established a new religion. When, in reality, all folk are doing by displaying the Commandments is to remind people of the basic rights and wrongs our Creator has established for all to life by. …………..I want my Country back!
The Federal Gov’t isn’t not allowed to establish a religion, but States are. They all over time relinquished that right. Good or bad? Perhaps both. But it is interesting to note how our diversion away from our 18th century, post-Great Awakening morality has resulted in our present Godless culture.
All basic law in every culture is inherently God-based morality [unless it is something a debased human mind, i.e. pro-homosexuality, legalization of abortion, etc.]. This stems not only from Romans chapter 1, but from Old Testament Jewish code, where in the restatement of the Creation Mandate, God also stipulated you shall not murder.
On the other hand, when gov’t tries to legislate morality, such as a marriage amendment, the conclusion is obvious. The morality of the culture in general is lost, either due to a subversive faction exuding corrupt proxy political power via politicians and judiciary.
