Chapter 20: Myth—Politics Doesn’t Matter

The Federalist Papers were published in newspapers under the name

“Publius” as our great nation considered approving the Constitution. There was great opposition at the time to ratifying the Constitution in the State of New York. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison assisted Alexander Hamilton in making the Publius arguments to adopt our great Constitution.

Our Founding Fathers were all people of great faith. They understood that you couldn’t force people to acknowledge that God exists or to worship God. These are matters of the heart as I have previously taught you. The free will that God extends to humans was codified in our U.S. Constitution.

Yet this was a Christian nation from the beginning with biblical morality right up until this moment in time when we find ourselves standing at the precipice of a moral abyss with God. Will this nation find its moral compass again and return to a godly society? Woe to the United States if it doesn’t.

Few people would argue that we should invade the privacy of a Gay couple’s bedroom and charge them with acts of sodomy. Yet at the other end, why should Kindergarten children be taught that Gay sexuality is moral? Why should Kindergarten children be taught it is morally equivalent

if little Johnny has two daddies or two mommies instead of one of each? Such moral tripe is the “absolutist morality” being forced upon us by Democrats. And, make no mistake about this either — the majority of the country now realizes that it is the Democrats that have taken us to the edge

of this moral abyss with their policies. In fact, it was fifty years of their moral leadership that led us to this point in time. Only by the shift towards a Republican administration have we been able to “begin” to back away from immoral public policies.

Is it moral to create a class of citizens that are dependent upon the government for their livelihood? No, it is immoral. Is it moral to promise some members of the electorate “gifts” that come at the expense of other

members of the electorate? No, it is immoral. Is it moral to try to convince the electorate that government should eliminate their economic suffering? No, it is immoral. Suffering is a part of this earthly life and no one argues that we should not mitigate it wherever and whenever possible. But to

institutionalize the idea that government is the solution to family problems is to just create another myth primarily designed to keep elitists in power.
