THE HIGH PLACES

Today we stand at a crossroads in American history with our country strongly divided. Recent presidential elections have seen some of the most divisive rhetoric in American history. We have a cultural divide between the liberal and conservative elements of our nation. It truly seems the political middle ground is diminishing while the left is getting “lefter” and the right is getting “righter.”
     Christian conservatives have been mobilized as never before due to certain “hot button” issues. The silent majority seems to have finally gotten fed up with the liberal left moving this nation away from its godly heritage and constitutional precepts.
     Liberal activist judges, who are accountable to no one, have spent the last several decades expanding their power and ripping America away from its foundations. Today, the judicial branch of our government consistently ignores laws enacted by the democratically elected members of our executive and legislative branches. Furthermore, some politicians will claim conservative values yet vote against conservative judges. They speak lies from their lips and let their liberal judges do their dirty work. To those politicians I say, “Put your vote where your mouth is.”
     The Founding Fathers created our form of government to have “checks and balances” so that no one branch would become too powerful. Simply put, the executive branch is to enforce laws, the legislative branch is to make laws, and the judicial branch is to interpret laws. Yet in 1962, a handful of United State Supreme Court Justices chose to make law against the clear direction of our Constitution, historical case law, and the wishes of the people. At the point in which these Supreme Court Justices decided to re-interpret our Constitution, this nation began a downhill decent that is visibly evident through every major moral statistic recorded.
     For over one hundred and seventy years the laws of this nation were clearly defined based upon previous case law, the Articles of Confederation, the writings of our Founding Fathers, the acts of the congresses, the acts of the state governments, and the like. To understand this better consider this: Once our Constitution underwent that major re-definition in 1962 (in the case of Engle vs. Vitale), the Supreme Court subsequently had to begin re-defining hundreds of other laws because we were now in uncharted legal territory. Because of that re-definition, our nation was severed from its original Constitution, its historical and legal past, and its godly heritage!
