What kind of government will we have when the dust clears from the COViD crisis? Will we become a nation of men rather than a nation of laws? Will we be subject to rule by a few? Or will we retain our heritage of a constitutional republic of, by, and for the People?
We need to ask ourselves, what is civil government’s purpose? The purpose of civil government is to protect our God-given rights, according to the Declaration of Independence. What are your God-given rights? Among these unalienable rights are life, liberty, and property (or pursuit of happiness).
What if civil government doesn’t accede to the idea that there is a God and our rights come from Him? Then, the purpose of that government will be different than the republic our Founding Fathers gave us.
A tyrannical (and godless) government that has control of your body, money, and property might look like this:
-forced vaccinations (power over your life)
-forced business closures and subsequent job losses (power over your liberty and right to work)
-state worship
-potential loan payment acceleration possibly resulting in State ownership (power over your money and property)
-surveillance of citizenry (control over your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness)
A government that is a constitutional republic might look like this:
-Personal freedom to pursue your health, wealth, vocation (right to work)
-Personal freedom to worship, peaceably assemble, speak out, and a free press
-Personal freedom to pursue your happiness (i.e., private property ownership)
-Personal freedom to defend yourself and your family
The kind of government we have when this crisis subsides depends on your stand for liberty. Freedom is our birthright. There has always been and will always be a faction of people on earth who want to control you. They are looking for those who will trade personal freedom over life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for some false promise of security. Don’t be fooled. They don’t know what you or your loved ones need. You do!
This is Common Sense Civics and Citizenship. ??
