I am wondering if we should celebrate the return of States’ Rights.
I am referring to the police states being established in California, Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, et cetera. The governors of those states are basically defying the will of the people of the United States as well as the citizens of their states. The difference is that the people of California elected Gavin Newsom and gave him a one party state to run, so they deserve everything they get from him. The same is true of Oregon, Washington, and all the other states with strong Antifa loyalties. In the true spirit of federalism, Donald Trump refused to play their game and send in the Marines. He let them stew in their own juices. That is one reason it was so important to steal this election, the Democrats want to bail out their minions.
States rights advocates that each state has a degree of autonomy. If they want to have high taxes and corrupt politicians then that is their right. At one point it was even legal for them to have slaves if they wanted. The Democrats wanted. Even after the Civil War they did everything they could to keep black Americans on the plantation. They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are working hard to move Latinos and whites onto the plantation as well.
Now we have Governor Cuomo telling the Supreme Court to go pound sand when they stand up for religious liberty. On one side I agree with him. If the people of New York want to see their freedom eroded and support their own personal dictator, then maybe they should have that right. If the Jews and Catholics, who probably voted in block for the man, are told to get on the plantation, they have a remedy that they can put in place without crying to the supreme court.
On the other hand, where are we going to be if every state starts defying the Supreme Court? Maybe that is something worth considering. Maybe if no one listens to them they will decide to resign and we can get in people who have read the Constitution.
The more I see the overreach of the Federal Government, the more I move toward being sympathetic toward the South in the Civil War. Slavery could have been dealt with. Some people think it was on its way out already. I heard one speaker, who was black, say that slavery really never ended until the invention of machines that could pick cotton. We need less from Nanny and more from the adults in the room.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Had I lived then, but had today's knowledge, I would have supported the south, they were morally wrong but legally right and slavery was SLOWLY dying. Then again, if all black folks were like the ones we see on TV (thankfully, they AREN'T) maybe they would have been best left in the cotton patch.
ReplyDeleteI am not even sure they were morally wrong when you take in the big picture.
