How strong should the government be? IT has been said that a government big enough to take care of your every need is strong enough to take away everything you have.

“[T]he government must be a weak one indeed, if it should forget that the good of the whole can only be promoted by advancing the good of each of the parts or members which compose the whole.”

–John Jay, Federalist No. 64, 1788

Seems to me the government think it’s already strong enough to start taking away that which it does not have the authority to give in the first place.

“It is very imprudent to deprive America of any of her privileges. If her commerce and friendship are of any importance to you, they are to be had on no other terms than leaving her in the full enjoyment of her rights.”

Remember that our rights are given by God, not granted by any body of men. In spite of what the anti-theists will have you believe, this country WAS founded by men who knew that their blessing were bestowed by God. The COnstitution and the Declaration of Independence both mention this fact very plainly, while also restricting the governmental form being founded from forcing or restricting any religious teaching. If the founders had fully understood, as we are coming to understand today, that islam is not a religion but a quasi-governmental form in and of itself, they would have put a restriction on it – or would they? Why doesn’t the government now in place outlaw the set of laws (sharia) that rule islam? For fear of restricting a religion? But, if there are laws that control you away from your worship, is it really a religion, or is it a government? I’m pretty sure it’s a government, with it’s own courts and codes. It cannot co-exist with an established representative republic, without one being pushed out by the other.

Biggest problem I see here is that the American People are too polite to push back. Let’s see what happens if/when an islamic no-go zone is introduced in an American city.

Chat ya later…
