We do.
Years ago, a judge in Chicago ruled against parents who were objecting to a specific thing being taught to their kids, stating that while kids are in public school they were effectively wards of the state. It was the day I made the decision, even though my kids hadn't yet been born.
I don't know, man. Supporting/defending the riots and demonizing HCQ may both be worse. Both of those killed people.
And as an honorable mention, fomenting hysteria over COVID may also be worse. I personally know more people (3) who died from despair during COVID than have died of the illness (0).
Time for a confession. I'm a husband of a stay-at-home mom, and I didn't give her much credit either at first. Early in our marriage, she wasn't great at keeping the house clean, and I was the better cook.
I first justified her staying home wuth the kids because she had had post partum depression. Then it was because I wanted to give her time with the children while they were young. Then it was because I didn't want to pay child care, and after that, it was because I didn't like the IL judge ruling that kids, while they were at school, were wards of the state.
My wife didn't even have her husband fully in her corner, and she kept at it anyway. She was, and has continued to be, faithful to a job that is harder and more worthwhile than I ever imagined. She deserved better from me back then, and by God's grace, she'll have it now.
Hi u/Jeff9942.
My understanding of the Founders' phrase was that it was a reversal of the accusation that the colonies were being unruly.
The reality was that it was Britain, and not the colonies, that were being unruly, by refusing to submit to the rule of their own constitution. As British citizens, colonists should have had representation in Parliament, according to the laws of England, and "no taxation without representation" was a statement that declared this.
Voter fraud is a similar situation. Those who cheat to change an undesirable outcome are the ones unwilling to accept governance. The fraudsters, and not the protesters, are the unruly.
I'm afraid I'm no longer young, but I want to welcome you to the forum.
Romania had a positive impact on my young adulthood - I can still remember listening to cassettes of Josef Tson's sermons, recounting his interrogations under Ceausescu. I am grateful that such a brave people as yours supports our cause.
Thank you, u/Doggos.
Would you mind consider a Christianity .win community also? Reddit has done a pretty good job at disenfranchising the conservative evangelical voice on their site. We'd come to this site, I'd think.
Thank you for this post, OP.
