It runs in the family- a great post on Consent of the Governed

This is by my niece, Linda, who blogs as High Meadow Lady. She has titled it “Do You Consent?”
First she gives background:

If you’ve read any of the original writings of the Founding Fathers, you saw that history clearly records that the Founders established our nation upon Biblical principles. As they wrote the Declaration of Independence, and then the Constitution, they drew upon Scripture to instruct them in the ways of wisdom and liberty.

The Declaration states that governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the governed -.” In the years prior to the American Revolution, 1 Samuel 8 was a favorite text preached in churches throughout the colonies. The same passage was Thomas Paine’s primary theme in his pamphlet “Common Sense.”  

The Israelites decide they no longer want to be a Theocracy, they want a king like all the other nations, so they go to Samuel to ask him to appoint a king for them. Samuel goes to God about their request and He tells him to grant the people their request, for they have forsaken God as their king and want to go after other gods. But – and here’s the kicker – God gives them advance warning about how a king will reign over them. In some cases you may be embarrassed or female viagra uk uncomfortable with the idea of walking into a pharmacy and asking the person behind to counter to give you Kamagra. People are also learning that generics are just as effective as branded variations and there’s no lowest price for viagra real sense in overpaying for a well-known name when you get the same benefits from a small drug producer that sells his pills for a really affordable price. It inhibits what causes ED as well as frees males of order cheap viagra slovak-republic.org erection dysfunction. Generic pills are similarly effective to treat the ED sildenafil sale problem.

The nation of Israel consented…….
……..American Christians have consented to the government we now have.
……..The government is not “them,” it is “us.” “We the People” have given our consent. Will you continue to consent, or will you withdraw it?

Go read it all here. I am a proud auntie and you will see why.
