Most of us were taught to be respectful of others, and their opinions. We were trained in politeness, and to respect others. Not everyone that we extend this respect toward were trained to reciprocate.
Some people, though having been taught respect and politeness by their parents, have chosen to go a different route. Some have been deceived by others with an agenda to disregard such training, and to plunder those around them. Claiming the right to be treated with respect, while returning contempt.
Many Americans today are confused. As they struggle to be respectful, they lack wisdom. Too often, in an attempt to be righteous, they undermine those that are righteous, and honor the deplorable.
How can this be? How is it possible that people who’s goal is to please the Lord, and submit to His will in every aspect of their life, abandon their fellow Christians, and enable the wicked, calling evil good, and good evil?
Those that embrace “libertarianism” assert that it is through efforts to preserve the good, the beautiful, and the righteous, (Christianity, and conservatism,) we provoke the reprobate, and thereby are partially to blame for conflict, contention. They are oblivious to the fact that this belief makes them, in effect, allies with the reprobate, and opponents of righteousness, in a very practical sense. They, in effect, are calling evil good, and good evil, (see Isaiah 5:20.)
IF we are to preserve righteousness, and contend against the weapons, and tactics of the ultimate enemy of liberty, the devil, we must affirm truth. We must be assertive of righteousness. We must defend the righteous, in word and deed. Life is not a spectator sport. We are not judges in the contest. We are contestants, and there are rules in this contest. Those rules are found in scripture, and, those rules of Americanism are further refined in the US Constitution.
It is true that we are free to disagree, but good trees bear good fruit. When we witness the evil, rotting, perverse, and contentious fruit of those that seek to impose their perverse beliefs upon our society, we can choose to accept that it is what it is, opposing it, or we can ignore the results of these many experiments. We can make excuses for their apparent failure, or we can accept that this “failure” is really the intended result of their true author.
I believe that it is time for Americans to defend America against every one of its enemies, foreign, and domestic, in principal, and in ideals. Not through violence, or even retaliation against violence, but through the restoration of the biblical, and constitutional foundations of our constitutional republic.
You may ask, “ how can this restoration be accomplished?” During the debate, and recording of our governing document, the US Constitution, it was recognized that life evolves. That no-one could ever anticipate every situation, and adequately provide for every solution.
Therefore Article V was incorporated into the constitution. It sets the rules for the addition, modification, or the removal of particular features of the constitution, in order to secure its authority in every, contemporary instance.
Two days before the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, it was recognized that since the method of amending the constitution had been given to Congress, that in the event that the US Congress became the problem that needed correction, it would not be likely to embrace adequate modification.
Therefore, the convention of states option for constitutional amendment was added to Article V.
I believe that it is time for God fearing Americans to stop worrying about the emotions of the enemies of liberty. Their desires must not be given equal status with the righteous provisions of the constitution. They must be forced to face the obvious failure of every marxist idea ever introduced, to every society in history. There is no room for one more experiment, or the failure it will inevitably produce for our society.
We, (and I really mean you, because I already have,) can be a part of the preservation, and restoration of our constitutional republic through your participation in the Convention of States movement.
Sign the petition, and explore the ways that you can use you talents, and abilities in this honorable pursuit.
God bless you, Dave
