Why Do We Obey When it Will Cause Harm to Us?

As I write this, 536 clowns in Washington D.C. (the House of Representatives plus the Senate plus the president) are performing a political posturing act over the national budget to avoid a “fiscal cliff”. Meanwhile the rest of the nation is on pins and needles awaiting a decision so they will know how to act and do business in the year of 2013. Stocks and bonds are being sold off, new employment and reinstated employment has stagnated or has become worse. The “official” numbers are cooked to make the-powers-that-be look good. Despite what we hear about the “official” unemployment rate, the real unemployment rate is much worse.

And nobody knows how to deal with “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)” aka “Obama care”. All we know is that it will be a costly nightmare based on similar attempts in other nations.

Who are these government people? Why are we allowing them to destroy us? Will we allow it to happen? Why do we co-operate with their dictates when we know it will be harmful to us? “We ought to obey God rather than men”. (Acts 5:29, KJV Bible) Why do we not just defy the bastards? They are highly outnumbered (I hope).

 

How about the farmers continue to farm and grow food and raise animals?

How about the builders keep building?

How about the grocers keep selling food?

How about the truckers keep trucking?

How about the repairmen keep repairing?

How about the entertainers keep entertaining (and stay out of politics)?

How about the engineers keep designing and inventing?

How about the parents keep parenting?

How about the entrepreneurs keep dreaming and investing?

How about the medical doctors keep treating the sick and injured?

How about the petroleum drillers keep drilling?

How about the dentists keep drilling and filling?

How about the honest moneylenders provide the capital for business building and expansion?

How about the greedy bankers take a flying leap to (well never mind).

And this list could go on and on. The point is that we “the public” do not need those clowns in “high places” to tell us what to do to survive, prosper and pursue happiness.

We do not need those government people. If they are not going to listen to us and serve us, then they have no authority over us. We are governed by them only by our consent.

If they are acting outside of their authority as proscribed in the Constitution, then they have no authority. We are supposed to be a nation of just and proper laws and not to be subject to a bombardment of statutes and dictates.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2, KJV Bible).

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” (Thomas Jefferson)
