No Comments Good Men
There are some people who like to be told what to do. Others, like myself. don’t like it. I’m referring to the government. Some trust in the goodness of men, at least in the goodness of those they worship and vote for. The Bible tells us that there is none that are good, no not one. They all succumb to the lusts of their flesh. Anyone can become a tyrant no matter their political bent. Power corrupts the morals and the judgment of people. That is why the framers of our constitution tried to limit the power of the federal government. Government exists for the pure purpose of exerting power over people who have done nothing wrong.
We have some good legislators no doubt and some try to do the “right” thing. The problem is the definition of the right thing. Many feel the mob should be able to dictate the “rules” we live by. The mob has been created by the notion that the United States is a democracy and therefore 51% can decide what the 49% have to do. The United States was supposed to be a republic thereby making it difficult for easily fooled blockheads to take control and destroy the nation. This country was supposed to be different. It’s not anymore.
It’s important to remember the main reason someone runs for re-election. It’s for power; they want to change things. Do things need changing? Of course, that is if you were to return to the restraints of the constitution. People like to have power over other people and their money. I don’t trust other people with my money or my future and neither should you. I don’t believe in the goodness of man. Let God be good and every man a liar.
