I want to take a moment and discuss something that has been bothering me concerning contemporary politics. As many of you know I will sometimes do this and today just seems like one of those days.
Recently the state of Arizona passed a law giving police in their state authority to challenge anyone they believe is not a legal resident of the United States. The reaction from many states and cities has been negative towards Arizona. Cities such as San Diego have voted to boycott all business with the state over this law. Arizona residents in return have quickly pulled back on planned trips to the city; this has caused the city tourism to lose upwards of $10 Million. Other cities have voted to boycott, and in some cases the backlash out of Arizona has caused many more to rethink their vote before ruining their our economy.
This brings up an interesting question that can be related back to a number of hot button issues currently in the political sphere. But back to Arizona for one second. The Federal government has a law currently on the books that does essentially what Arizona’s new law does; except the Federal Government ignores their law. A basic principle of politics found in the heart of the Declaration of Independence is, “that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” Now the purpose of our government, the ends for which we established it in 1787, are clearly written into our Constitution:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
For many of Arizona’s residents the Federal government has failed to uphold its ends for insuring domestic tranquility and providing for the common defence. If liberals haven’t noticed lately there is a drug war going on in Mexico that spills into the border towns of the United States. Illegals are smuggling drugs into our nation helping to destroy our domestic tranquility. All the while our Federal Government is sitting back and passing legislation for something Americans have clearly shown we do not want. What else has Arizona, or any state, have to do besides take up what the Federal Government refuses.
Back to the point though, it appears that anytime Conservatives win the day on a hot button issue the only thing liberals can do is say that they are racists, sexists, homophobic rednecks. It appears that there is only one way when it comes to Liberals, their way. Conservatives aren’t innocent either, at least when they don’t like something they don’t automatically start calling people by slurs. When the State of California voted by popular referendum to ban homosexual marriage the liberal response was that Conservative nut jobs who hate people were behind it. In Massachusetts when they allowed for homosexual marriage, Conservatives argued that it was unnecessary and immoral. Conservatives take the old Christian saying of, “hate the sin, love the sinner.” Liberals just want to hate, even though they preach we should love everyone.
The President has even weighed in on this issue warning college graduates to watch out for false information as he sees it. This was the same President Obama that wanted people to spy on their neighbors who were preaching “falsly” about the health care bill. There is no room for debate, or for discussion in the Liberal way of thinking. It is only their way and if you don’t agree with it then you’ll be left for dead on the side of the road; but not before they humiliate,prejudice and libel you. Their idea of freedom of speech is not what the founders envisioned; the Founding notion was to allow for free, open and public political discourse. The belief you could libel, slander, or even blasphem was out of the question for the Founders. And yet Liberals do just that and when Conservatives push back they cry foul. They are offended by the idea that anyone could possibly hold an opposing point of view. Conservatives can be just as bad, but at least they allow for those views to be voiced.
The liberals remind me of many people that want to “Add To” or interpret the Bible to suit their own needs. In reading Psalms 81:12 “So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.” the Bible clearly outlines what is happening in todays political arena. Man has decided to interpet and alter the truth to suit his own need and to make up the rules as he go along. What is true today, may be false tomorrow. When examining the Constitution of the United States of America, which clearly state our right as citizens to have a government that will establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, we believe this is a God given right; however, the Liberals want to “add to or take away” any real opportunity we have to pursue these rights by altering their true meaning to meet whichever agenda they are currently propagating. I am afraid that the only real liberty we will ever really have is when we quit putting our faith in our government, and start putting it where it belongs in Jesus Christ.
