What, specifically, was Snowden’s crime?

“I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.”

—Ronald Reagan

While I will neither support nor condemn Snowden, the people need the US government to handle problems much more effectively.

According to the US Constitution, Article III, Section 3…

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

“Only”…

Snowden has been branded as a “traitor” by Secretaries, Generals, and Legislators in the US government—which means that, in their opinion, Snowden helped a US “enemy”. But that creates a problem—Snowden told the public. Is the “public” now the enemy of a democratic/republic State?

Snowden didn’t tell secrets to the Chinese or Russians or North Koreans in secret. That would/could have been “treason”. And, most importantly, none of his accusers give him any credit or appreciation for his conscientious, though youthful, dedication to “consent of the governed” and “government of, by, and for the people”.  · · · →

Health Care Damned America

Health Care Damned America

Health Care Damned America (mp3)

Whether Obamacare or Hillarycare, nationalizing health insurance—rather than removing frivolous lawsuits that made health care unaffordable—could only bankrupt both families and governments.

Builders won the war, then barked at their kids without instructing them. Boomers barked at their parents and taught their own children to rebel. The “Obamers” generation mainly entered politics because Obama ran, often voting against Obama—but they shot from the hip, without first understanding unintended consequences.

Under-budget, spread too thin—America will inevitably be invaded. The question is: Will we surrender to God first or China-Russia later?  · · · →

Lazy Bible Critics

Lazy Bible Critics (mp3)

The Bible has been under attack as long as it existed. The problem with Bible critics is that they don’t know when they’ve lost. In each generation they sing a different tune with the same old song.

Many questions about Bible manuscript credibility, science and Bible, or the credibility of “faith” are answered by Lee Strobel, Josh McDowell, or The Evolution Handbook. Many alleged “Bible contradictions” impose a modern-Western assumption of writing genre, quotes, documentation, and figures of speech, which are answered by a basic understanding of ancient literature.

More importantly, Bible critics don’t read the Bible all that much.  · · · →
