Lately, some have tried to undermine our Bill of Rights. I read yesterday on Forbes that the President said that Americans didn't deserve to be free!(?) What does that mean? <br /><br />Progressives love change for the sake of change, not affirming historical realism. These would subvert our country and culture for some ideological "utopia" of their own making. The "higher law" subverts America's Constitutional limits for a "global" purpose and outcome. That means anything is up for grabs to change, American borders, healthcare, history, government,as well, as individual liberties! The "collective" is the name of Progressive views on justice, which undermines justice for individual for the sake of the "whole"! (Obamacare has been a good experiment of unintended consequences, but maybe the consequnces were not all that unintended.

And if scientific experimentation is accepted, one can only be agnostic concerning the transcendent. <br />If history is also accepted, then, we cannot help but promote individual liberty, an American and Protestant value, because ideology should not rule in the realm of Government. And the individual should be allowed to determine "his own destiny". It is the morality of choice versus coercion, diversity versus uniformity, free thinking versus "political correct" thinking...etc.Angie Van De Merwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617299120618867829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-86970861120188872312014-02-27T09:43:51.030-05:002014-02-27T09:43:51.030-05:00I should say that the Holy Spirit is inside us all...I should say that the Holy Spirit is inside us all individually too. It's just that our individualistic culture tends to focus too much on the individual angle.Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.com
