Paternal instincts

Many consider the story of our first parents a myth or an allegory. What it tells us of human nature however is as true now as it was then. 

Non servium was the response of the electorate regarding CI-128. The most common cause of loss of human life on this planet is abortion. The unrepentant abandonment of innate maternal and paternal instincts is quite teleologically unfathomable. But such is the consequence of a contraceptive mentality. 

However, judgment and justice are eventual. To all those modern day Adams who partook of this modern day apple offered by modern day pro-choice Eves, keep one thing in mind. Each and every aborted child had a father.

Big changes

The economy is the No. 1 issue and needs fixing. Cutting waste and programs is a good start, but not enough. The issue of theft must be addressed.

“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.” — Alan Greenspan

Your private property and financial freedom have been stolen from you. What can you do? First, contact your Senate and House members in Congress and demand they confirm all of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks without delay. Second, educate yourself on “sound money.” Last, support efforts to re-establish constitutional money (Article 1, Section 10), which will be coming up in the 2025 legislative session.  

Big changes such as these are not accomplished from the top down, but from the bottom up, meaning we, the people.
