The American constitutions (all suspended) were designed to uphold the God-conferred Liberties, among them property held under equal protection of the Law. Distributing wealth through the ballot box by legislative fiat is looting. That is, looting by stealing from Paul in order to give a benefit to Peter. Or simply put ... Paul's pocket is looted, but Peter gets a nice golden goose egg.

Voting for special exemptions by stealing language wrapping up in nice pretty fraud words is lying. And such votes are votes against the constitutions by the stated purposes of the same ... and also are votes against the maintenance of a non-stealing moral order.

Soundly reasoned. You said it much better than I did.

But you said it and good for you. It's a big deal. And bigger than most people think. Theft of any kind is a massive violation of our lower case sovereign selves.

(Capital S is God, the Sovereign King of all. In the old American System we were sovereigns, the people the owners of government. Kind of gives the Colonial battle cry of 'No King but King Jesus' a little more significance.)

Yeah, our forefathers understood the governmental and legal implications of the term "King" which informed the founding documents they wrote. Today people only under the term King in some kind of romanticized idea with no connection to law or government. Our pastors have failed in their job.

I agree. Public (and mostly private too) education has turned education into glorified job training. The difference between a trade school and university is that the university training is more upscale as to vocations. Teaching how to think, a rigorous traditional survey of history, how to weigh things out, this has mostly been thrown out the window. And then there is history erasure! Whole histories either rewritten or omitted. The seminaries too have truncated their teaching. We were totally amazed to find out how dumbed down even allegedly Reformed Christian seminaries are these days.

I was not aware of the state of the Reformed seminaries. That's pretty sad.

Yeah ... that was a big letdown when me and the De Wife found out about this. And yet, overall the deterioration in the Reformed faith circles has been going on for decades. It is just the a mirror image of a failing culture. The Calvinist/Protestant Reformation presuppositional faith was thrown out the window. What is left is the secular sewer of 'anything goes.' There is nothing left in the way of scaffolding on which to build anything like a credible Law Order. If everything, and I mean everything collapses, I would not be surprises. The corruption is too massive and invades every nook and cranny of the civilization.
