After considering Bush or Kerry, I find neither of them to show any evidence that they understand the proper role of government. They (like all elected officials), have put one hand on the Bible and swore to uphold and defend the US Constitution. Have you seen anything remotely Biblical or Constitutional that our President or Congress have done lately? And when I say lately, I mean over the past 100 years!

It appears that (collectively) they have read neither the Bible nor the Constitution. This is partly why we have a democracy today, which is the same as socialism and communism, minus some paperwork and formalities. Have you ever read the Communist Manifesto? Look it up, you’ll see that we have fulfilled all ten planks of the C.M. in this country. But we’re still free, right. That depends on your definition of freedom, I guess:

I am free to pay taxes that I do not owe, or go to jail. I am free to beg for permission to build a room onto my house or be forced to tear it down and ask properly. I am free to apply, obtain and possess a driver’s license that the US Supreme Court has already stated that I don’t need, or go to jail for nine years. I am free to buckle my seatbelt or be drug out of my car and fined. I am free to worship at the government approved church of my choice, or go underground. I am free to ask permission to bear arms or be shot and killed for being a wacko. I am free to buy a fishing license, or go to jail. I am free to own property as long as I keep it on the tax rolls, or lose it.

Like I said, I guess it depends on your definition of freedom. Some of these words and ideas may sound harsh, and you may want to take up argument with me, that’s fine. The role of government was designed by the Creator to show us His perfect Law of Liberty. Freedom in Christ makes us free indeed. The role of government is to reflect God’s glory by obeying His Laws, and allowing the people to do likewise. The role of government is to punish the evildoer, not elect them to the highest office in the land. The US Constitution Party’s stated goal is to restore the republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitution and to obey His Laws. As I see it, this is a step in the right direction.
