| I believe through hard work, personal sacrifice, and great risk our fathers secured for us on this continent the greatest form of man made government ever. By observing the authority and wisdom of our creator and God's law revealed to us in scripture, they created a government bound by law to serve the people instead of vice versa. We are a nation of laws that secure our freedom. As recognized by our founders a moral responsible society will prosper under limited government. However, if the same society loses its moral compass (respect for God's law) then a rebellious people ignore the rule of law. Justice is no longer equal but relative. The result being self-indulgence, producing a self-indulgent government no longer serving the people but itself! We are dangerously close to the point of government ruling the people based on relative ideas instead of laws that limit its power. God forbid we cast aside the US constitution that was drafted by a selfless group of godly men who had paid dearly for the opportunity to govern themselves free of tyranny. I believe through prayer and supplication they received divine wisdom which was employed in drafting the laws that govern us. Therefore solemn consideration and skeptical concern must be given to any attempt to exchange a proven success for a novice idea fed by selfish desire or perverse rebellion. I will stand in the gate and seek the old paths that have been proven successful. I will expect my fellow citizens to abide by laws already drafted and ratified by generations who had not yet lost their moral compass. I will encourage all citizens to live noble and free while enjoying these liberties, but we must respect the laws which secure these liberties and prosecute those who abuse the law. |
