Arizona, N. Korea, Or Gaza; Anarchy is Anarchy

Recently North Korea created a crisis in the usual two step process. Step one was to impose their will in some way endangering other societies around them. Step two was to demand some kind of concessions to make them stop their reckless behavior. That’s what anarchists do. This week it’s the “activists” who sailed from Turkey. It could just as easily be the protesters objecting to Arizona’s law regarding illegal immigration. . It’s always the same two step procedure. Create a crisis and demand concessions.

There are two basic kinds of people in the world. First, there are those who seek to have all views heard and debated in good faith. Secondly, there are those who believe only their views should be considered and that all opposing beliefs should be silenced. The first group of believers not only believe in rules of courtesy and social consideration, they insist upon following them. They believe in God, and in the constitution, and they feel bound to abide by those doctrines. The second group, those who believe only their view should be followed, believes the end justifies the means. To them lies, bribes, and violence justifies the silencing of any other viewpoint. That’s why we call them anarchists.


Faith in God and faith in the Constitution made America unique among all governed people in the world. We historically agreed as a majority through the application of those two mechanisms to be considerate of all views. Then about forty years ago we began veering away from both God and the Constitution. For the most part, anarchists object to these doctrines of fairness and freedom because open access to the system restricts their exclusive use of it. So they chipped away, successfully, at removing traditional American beliefs in our decision making process. They seized control of academic institutions. Then the courts. Then political offices.

Expression of almost anything Christian first disappeared from schools. Godly reference next disappeared from all government processes and buildings. Under the guise of separation of church and state, we evolved a political system that no longer restrains itself according to God’s morality, or constitutional limitations. We are now governed by and responsive to the same tactics of lies, bribes, and violence used so routinely and systematically by anarchists.

We can thank liberal democrats for that.

America is truly at a critical turning point. We can either restore our greatness and return to constitutional rule. Or we can keep ignoring it until we become another chaotic socialists mob ruled nation. If we continue to ignore the morality of our Christian roots, and the document that corresponds with that tradition called the United States Constitution, the outcome must eventually be a return to anarchy and bloodshed. That’s the reality in most of the non Christian world. Those who obsess themselves with a godless power to rule will forever compete with other godless power seekers.

One need not be a Christian to understand that Jesus speaking the words we call the Sermon on the Mount are wonderful words to abide by. One need not be a conservative or a republican to recognize that the Constitution intentionally restricts political power of a central government not to guarantee the best outcome for all people all the time, but to guarantee that they have the freedom to decide their own options for themselves, however good or bad they may be.

Anarchy is anarchy. Our obligation as citizens is to vote anarchy out, just as it has been systematically voted in.
