I don't believe we need to wait until "division erupts into a form of secession" - back in the day it was PASTORS who began the "Black Robe Regiment" and it should be PASTORS leading a Revolution now. I'm well aware of being labeled a terrorist, and I'm not advocating taking Washington with guns. I'm advocating Christians banding together with Pastors leading the way and demanding that Washington take steps to protect America; first by securing our borders. Republicans had control of both and did NOTHING. Don't you read about all the drug busts that are happening along the border? Other countries HATE US because American leaders have plundered them. Oh we sat here fat and happy because it wasn't being done to US, but take a look at some of the photos of countries we have bombed, and listen to the stories of women that were raped by American soldiers. Don't you think one of them want to sneak across the border into a nuclear facility? Or do you want to wait until drug-resistant TB starts a pandemic? I have a relative who works in a hospital caring for illegals for 3+ months with TB. Wouldn't you think that would be monitored closely? It's going to happen - it's just a matter of time.
Americans are TOO obedient! We've had our Revolutionary spirits beaten out of us. We're socialized and conformed from birth. Yes, lets sit back and wait until our legislators - ALL WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THE NUCLEAR FALLOUT SHELTERS - take care of us. No one is watching out for us paeans! Don't you realize how painful a nuclear death is? You and your family will be on the OUTSIDE of any bomb shelter. Legislators are in no big hurry to secure the border - they and their families know right which nuclear shelter to go to. Then what are you going to say to your wife and kids when their skin is melting off their face? Let's keep waiting, we must be obedient, good little American citizens who hope in the generosity of our legislators. Why you'll see! They'll let us squeeze into the shelter with them! Never happen.
I was in the ER with a severe issue and someone "important" walked in and they took him right ahead of me. We're in a caste system - only Americans don't know it. We fool ourselves a lot. Do you really think "political authorities" care about you? They aren't serving us anymore. As soon as someone gets elected they morph into the system and become as bad as the last one.
Are we going to wait until the next generation is brainwashed even more until all remnants of what America was truly like are erased?
I don't have the answers but I don't think it's being obedient. There is nothing wrong with civil disobedience. I'm just waiting for Pastors to start it. Maybe if we urge it, someone like Franklin Graham or Charles Stanley will lead it. It has to be someone who a lot of people would get on board with. But to sit back while young Americans are dropping dead all around us from the drugs flooding in from Mexico while grandpas arthritis medication is taken so that he walks into the bathroom and hangs himself is foolish.
Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.
Howard Zinn
Nothing wrong with pastors or Christians being involved in any secession. But unless there is a foot in the political arena, they have nothing to stand on. Secession is a political move. It will take politicians to enact such a move. Then you can align yourself with them. To act before that is nothing but terrorism.
