“Another way to the same end [term limits] must be found, even if it means turning out the party in power in every election until one party gets it and starts acting in the public's interest.” –Cal Thomas
How shall we define the public interest? Consider the benefits if our public policies, including tax policy, were as a rule consistent with the unsuppressed law bearing witness in our conscience…
1. Honoring parents with the recognition of parental authority over their children as sacred, particularly with regard to education and discipline.
2. Recognizing the sanctity of life and the personhood of the individual, pursuing the preservation of life, including the abolition of abortion and advocating capital punishment for violent criminals and those who violate another person through sexual abuse.
3. Promotion of marriage and family as defined by the Creator of men.
4. Honoring of private property as sacred, including the fruits of a man’s labor.
5. Pursuit of full disclosure and truthfulness, putting an end to deception, fraud, theft and false dealing with the public treasury.
6. Consideration of the doctrines of class envy and social welfare apart from labor as enemies of the people.
You may recognize these as taken from the second tablet of the moral Law of God, instructing men how to love their neighbors. But the new theocrats have forsaken this law in favor of their social gospel. Consider the commandments one by one and see how the statists have set themselves against the High King of Heaven. What God says is good; they have perverted and torn down. This is the condition of our public policy, and it reflects the change of authority that has occurred in America since its founding.
