Since my previous post apparently offended someone's sensibilities, let's try this . . .

quote:

There are ways to hold them accountable (appeals, disciplinary boards, etc) if you want to hold them accountable.


Boards and disciplinary panels are not accountability. For the principle of accountability in this case, see below.

"But if the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it in, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death." Exodus 21:29

And here we see a near perfect exemplar of the difference between a constitutional conservative and a mindless populist.

Sorry. I had to remove the profanity from your quote before I responded. I understand your frustration, but we are hopefully moving into a time when the Constitution actually protects those who deserve protecting and allows society to inflict swift and righteous punishment on those who dont deserve the same.

Eventually we will get to a point when people snap over these repeat offenders and start to go after judges

This is just something people say to try to feel better about the future. The truth is most of our society isn’t motivated enough to get involved when it’s their own loved ones much less strangers.

I don't see "screw" as being particularly profane, but I respect your decision to edit.

Here is where we differ.

The Bill of Rights is designed to place limits on governmental action ... vis-a-vis EVERYONE, not just those that you deem to be "deserving" of those limitations.

Just as an example, if we decide that the First Amendment does not prevent the government from jailing those who do not "deserve" to speak freely ... how long will it be before someone decides that YOU do not "deserve" to speak freely?

Don your thinking cap and get back to me.

I understand what you are saying and that is very true in the current system. However, I am hoping and praying that we are on the cusp of moving away from outdated ideas of equality and equity in government.

Constitutional protections like the Bill of Rights only work when they protect the Godly and righteous. When even those who reject and mock God by words or deeds have protection, it hastens the downfall of society.

Those who follow and uphold a Biblical worldview are those who should both govern and enjoy the protection of the law. All are welcome to join, but first they must repent and come to heel.

No...not theocracy. The appropriate word is Theonomy.

If you are interested, somehow I doubt it, I would recommend Institutes of Biblical Law by R.J.Rushdoony.

It's always full-on theocracy. Just depends on which theocracy is given ascendancy.

It is the only way things will ever get truly better. It is absurd what these liberal judges have been doing, with zero fear of retribution. It is disgusting. I don't have the answer to fix it, but it needs to be a major focus....and I believe the Supreme Court should get involved in some of these ridiculous sentences (or non sentences). Give a very loud warning, and then punish a few to the extent of the law. That is the only thing that will ever stop them.

Read a couple of quick articles. Interesting perspective, but sounds like an awful system.

I'll just stick with the US Constitution.

All have something in common other than multiple arrests.

After the 10th or so arrests with some involving violence? Yea… I think it’s time then to begin considering it.

Except for that pesky one that ends in “shall not be infringed”.

I believe that precedent was set when the Obama administration imprisoned a YouTube creator over Hillary’s Benghazi fiasco. Following which, Obama said in an address to the UN, “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

Then we have the Biden Admin confirmed to have directed social media companies to regulate speech. Especially concerning the “covid 19 conspiracies” such as blaming the Wuhan lab for the pandemic and how ineffective masks, 6ft distancing, and the Covid 19 “vaccine” were.

And interestingly enough…. This had full backing of the media, the judicial branch, and pretty much all the people now incredibly worried about constitutional erosion.

It's a sad reality I agree. Look at the Taiwan stabber. He went on a rampage and people were just watching.

Hell, the Bondi beach shooter was confronted by an Arab, not even a local from the beach area.
