Either way, adherence to Godly principles is a choice that has nothing to do with politics and the government on a whole. Keep church and state separate.
This is their God.

#6: Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force.

The left permitted to use their force lawfully (National Guard) and unlawfully (Antifa, BLM Inc).

The right is not.

Since the right is not willing to use force, then people need to return to God through Jesus Christ pronto, because He is the only one able to overcome the CCP-USA alliance... and that's if He is willing to do so.

Try reading some history. There is nothing about freedom "from" religion. You don't have to believe it, but you can't stop others from practicing it as the left tries to do.

The problem is when the Party is combined with religion and the other side becomes heathen as the Democrats have done with their various sects (environmentalists, woke, social justice) replacing religion.

Congress needs to get back to legislating instead of just doing nothing.

What decent people want to go to congress knowing everything will just be stone walled?

Then maybe we can judge and vote on people by what they actually legislate instead of who did more or less of nothing.
The filibuster should be changed back to what it was. Now they just check a box. Before they actually had to stand up and talk. Make it hard. Make it once again so that it is only used for things you really feel strongly about. Politicians are lazy sacks of manure. Make them work.

Also if they don't pass a budget on time (9/30) they shouldn't get paid until they do and they shouldn't get back pay for the salary they missed.

Just as the Christian Right tried with the Republicans some forty years ago.

Absolutely ridiculous.
Didn't the left just normalize this?

How many days straight was the Federal Court House in Portland attacked in a row disrupting the legal process. The mayor (D) would even march with them and then leave when it turned ugly.

How many days straight was rule of law upended by Chaz? A police dept. taken over, police not able to enforce laws. The governor (D) pretended it wasn't happening and the mayor (D) pretended it was a summer of love.

Future top leaders for the (Ds) Kamala and AOC were flaming the tensions was woke. CNN's Cuomo whose brother and father were the (D) governor of NY made excuses for lawlessness.


Now all of a sudden after literally hundreds of leftist riots, literally thousands of people injured (2,000+ cops), billions and billion of property damage from arson, looting, and vandalism, and murder rates spiking in cities - we are told it is ridiculous after the first right wing riot.

Time for the left to look in the mirror.
