God and Country 5 Does the Country Move Forward or Not

9 Jan

Our government is comprised of three parts. The Executive Branch run the country under the watchful eye of the Legislative Branch that tries to adjust the problems faced by the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch which is charged with Investigating and/or taking action against an individual, firm, or corporation working against the Constitution.

When the Legislative Branch charges itself to investigate breaches of the laws the system isn’t working. The job of congress is to point out to the Judicial Brank something is wrong. In the case of 12/6/2021 the Judicial Brank could not be relied upon to reach such a conclusion. The Constitution is clear about violators. The are to be tried and if guilty sentenced. It should not be up to the Attorneys General state of federal to make that decision.

Now we have a House that is being run by the Republican Party that has once again figured out how they can not do the governing jobs for which the have been elected. They want to investigate the current President to divert attention from their real job. If they have eveidence against the President they should turn it over to the AG and get on with the business of running the country.

What seems to be happening right now is the reason I left the Republican Party. The leaders just can’t walk and chew chewing gum and the same time.

Our debt ceiling is largely due to the majority party choosing not to govern while the Democrats were in charge. I say again, it takes two parties to move forward.

Our government has encouraged foreign investment in manufacturing, oil processing in foreign countries, discouraging US owned shipping, and holding back infrastructure while allowing our education system to become too expensive for a person justify. This was cause by both parties and K Street.

The rioters of January 6th were wrong, but they were spurred on because they knew something had to be done to change the way Washington does business. They thought Trump had the answer. What they did not understand is Trump didn’t even understand the question. He has never been there.

The United States Citizen is now charged with learning more about this county without just letting politicians tell them what they want them to know. That time has come and gone. It is clear that we citizens should know what it happening and why. This is a great country with the possibility of solving all the problems presented to it.

If we manufacture most of what we need and grow most of what we eat, our economy while maintaining a good balance of trade, will grow and we will come out of debt.

May God grant us wisdom and love for each other, and may God grant wisdom to those in leadership positions.

God and Country 4 Team Players

The discussions in congress remind me of boys playing baseball when I was a kid. Sometimes, when there was a disagreement the one that owned the ball would say, “I’ll just take my ball and go home if you can’t agree with me.” So everyone would either have to buy their own ball, bat and glove or agree issues.

We have to wonder if the members of the Republican Party ever played baseball. The solution in the baseball scenario was something to control the team captain which was controlled by the league which was controlled by the rules agreed on by the team coaches.

When the leagues played each other they had to agree on common rules. If there was a disagreement appeared the rules had to win. If the rules needed changing a debate took place and the rule was left alone or amended to suit the league.

The person that wanted to (take their ball and go home) is in congress now not debating anything. They are saying the need for debate is over. Only their way can work. The group came to light years ago when the tea party was introduced into the Republican Party. They changed their name, but they are still influenced by the idea of doing nothing.

As an independent I say we need a Republican Party, but we need members that can debate and agree to disagree. That is what the Democratic Party has done for centuries. Someone should step up and claim that job, so the world can see that we are no longer children but adults.

You men in the majority of Republicans in the house now know in your hart who that someone is. It is time to be bold. Their is a Christian leader there in you midst that has the God given skills to lead.

Pick Him.

There is a word that we use when we talk about God’s love. Agape is that word. It is the unconditional love of men and women, Most people think it is the love of some people. but I believe it is the love He has for all people. If that were not true Jesus would not have gone to the cross for all of the sins of the people that would believe and follow His teachings.

My God loves you and me no matter what one thinks or believes. He spoke this universe into existence which makes Him sovereign. My belief is that if any religion is not based on their god loving everyone, it is not the God that created the universe, and everything in it.

Our Constitution is based on Christian values and Christian values do not include chaos which is going on now in the House of Representatives. Part of the Constitution covers why the Constitution was written in the first place. We refer to these articles as the Bill of Rights.

The negotiations taking place now is because the major part of the Republican Party is trying to take power instead of serving the people. If a solid constitutionalist does not come forward, power will overtake in premises of the Bill of Rights.

It is good that the Republican Party which is more conservative of the two major parties makes this turn from chaos to normalcy. However it must be a leader that was not connected to the leader of the insurrection.

We have to have Republicans and Democrats who can work across the isle in both the House and Senate that understand the the Constitution runs the country not the elected leaders running Constitution.

To simplify the situation the Constitution is a contract between the United States citizens. As in any contract the contract determine how the parameters of the contract determine what will happen and how.

In any conflict, the contract controls the people not the people controlling the contract. Sometimes simplicity is the way to get to the root of the conflict. If any member is delaying justice or the will of the people, they are flirting dishonor conduct. We need the ones that have taken the oath to serve to do self examination for themselves and the people who elected them.

The Constitution of the United States was created by winning a conflict driven by some duly appointed men of the original thirteen colonies agreeing on a principle that all men are created equal. In some of their minds that meant land owners while some believed it was all men and women regardless of financial stability or origin of birth.

Jefferson tried to get in all inclusive, but the house sent it back to be rewritten. However he and his colleges were able to provide methods to amend the constitution without destroying the spirit.

The spirit of the constitution was to abide by the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of the Constitution which clearly states that all men or created equal.

The struggle was because the Constitution didn’t suddenly become law on July 4, 1776. It took much debate, prayer trial, and error to realize there had to be a sovereign led entity throughout the process. Just as God was sovereign over all our spirits the federal government had to be sovereign over the states. Of course there had to be safeguards because the federal government would be operated by human beings.

Like a contract you would make with anyone, you both agree to abide by the conditions in the contract. All the states made a contract with the federal government in the constitution. This says we believe in the principles written in the Constitution we have to agree before any principle can be changed. Therefore the Constitution controls the person rather than the person controlling the Constitution.

Even if congress makes a law that might skirt a constitutional principle the Supreme Court can nullify the law because it does not follow the principle.

***We have five major political parties Democrats, Republicans, and Independence are the three main parties with two more parties within the Republican and Independent party witch has an agenda that is not constitutional all.

The first of these two does not want to do the governments work which is outlined in the Constitution. They seem to believe if a person is not well born and is not achieving enough self produced subsistence they are not worthy to be involved in our government. Therefore, they might make it hard to vote or receive benefits from the more fortunate.

The next party is a rougher bunch. They seem to believe that negotiations are not worth their time because there mind has already reached the conclusion they deem correct whether it is or not.

When these two sub-parties swear to uphold the Constitution I do not believe they are serious. When differences appear in the operation of our government either local, state, and federal they should be debated by properly arguing the different side of the disagreement.

When one side looses and the other side wins by presenting a motion on the floor, it is a congressional decision. If it is important and one side holds the discussion back just to stop something that should be decided, that is not upholding the oath they swore to uphold the constitution.

This is what I am concerned about. The spirit of the Constitution and the spirit of the Christian Bible which is the root of the values in our Constitution. Additionally we don’t teach and follow the importance of sovereignty.

I am going to be sending our texts from time to time not because I as smart and know all the answers, but because I am concerned about God’s people not following the Christian bible or the Constitution. The bible was written by 40 authors over a period of 2500 years. The writing began about 4700 years ago but covered the 13.5 billion years since this universe was created. The United States Constitution was written 246 years ago by men I believe were designated by God to give us a good standard of ideas to live by while here on earth.

To me the sovereignty of God is not questionable for the salvation of our souls, As human beings created by God many have tried to form a government that adheres to the values presented in the Christian bible, but now were doing very well until the First Continental Congress wrote the Declaration of Independence to King George of England. After the lose of thousands of men and women a war was won and the United States Constitution was written and approved.

At that point the 13 colonies became the 13 states agreed that all men were created equal and should live together in peace with the laws of the Constitution to guide them. Now instead of the King or Queen being sovereign the United States Constitution is sovereign. Further I believe we owe a great debt to George Washington who could have been elected King according to some, but chose to be a president with the Constitution to guide him. His move made us a republic because at that point the Constitution had not yet been approved by all the states.

Now we have reached the point in our government that has decided to follow the bible when it is convenient and advantageous to the person in charge, and follow the Constitution in the same manner. The spirit of the bible and the Constitution are lost in either case.

If a reader does not agree with the general principles I am laying before you, You will not need to read anything else I write, but I believe God wants me to continue to the sake of the republic and the human being effected by our decisions.
