Pithy Observations Prompted by Trump Rally

(1) On 9-11 we learned our Government can’t provide its own air defense around the Capital. On 1-06 we learned that our Government can’t provide defense of its own buildings.

(2) Lance Armstrong was stripped of repeated Tour de France titles for blood doping. Olympic Athletes are stripped of their medals when caught cheating with steroids. Championship baseball teams who win titles have coaches fired and teams fined millions of dollars. But let a man cheat his way to the Presidency by vote tampering and vote altering and that man is considered to big to fail and he is rewarded the Presidency. I don’t want to ever hear another politician complain about anything not being “fair.”

(3) People who vote are the problem because they really believe that voting matters. We need more people who realize that voting doesn’t matter and so we need fewer people voting. What is wrong with us now cannot be solved by the ballot box because those in power will now allow the ballot box to really matter. Change is needed, but it will not come via ballots.

(4) On 9-11-2001 we learned our Government can’t provide its own air defense around the Capital. On 1-06-2021 we learned that our Government can’t provide defense of its own buildings.Why are we paying confiscatory taxes to an organization that can’t even defend itself?

(5) If we had had a Calvinist clergy corps for the last 70 years we wouldn’t be where we are today with our Political class. Read “Calvinism in History,” by McFetridge.

(6) Americans are hopelessly naive. Did they really think they could rally in such numbers without agents provocateur being salted among them?

(7) The difference between a modern US Politician and a modern US Clergy member? The Politician says stupid things and he knows he is saying stupid things. The Clergy says stupid things and he thinks the stupid things he says are really true and he personally believes them and will threaten to put you under church discipline if you refuse to believe the stupid things he believes.

(8) Now Pelosi is saying she is going to Impeach Trump again if his cabinet does not invoke the 25th amendment in order to cast Trump out of office. What is the threat of Donald Trump that Pelosi wants him out when he only has 13 days in office.

(9) You’re sure to soon hear from your Reformed and Evangelical ministers how wicked people are for what happened in Washington DC. I can only advice you to publicly ask such ministers why the Boston Tea Party was so sinful.

(10) As I listen to the National News I have to believe that I am living in the same country that had other News Agencies titled Tass and Izvestia. The propaganda is stunning. These news reports (I listen to AM Radio) are chock full of leftist editorial content passing as “news.”

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him. View all posts by jetbrane
