The Gadiantons Triumph Again... and Satan Laugheth.

[_cwald]

I'm still trying to find where John Dehlin is mentioned in the OP. Can somebody help me out?

[_Bob Loblaw]

If you ever believed that Droopy was not in fact a dangerous extremist at heart, just read this Unabomber-style manifesto. He is insane. And his twisted, apocalyptic interpretation of his faith has been enlisted in the service of his twisted political extremism.

Just think of all the credit he lends to Daniel Peterson's cause.

Sigh.

Earth to Droopy: It was a Supreme Court decision on a healthcare bill. It was not the opening of the Seventh Seal.

He is as a voice crying in the wilderness, warning of the destruction to come. Either that, or he's just a loon.

All I can say is, come out, come ye out from Babylon and be ye separate. Partake not of its unclean things. When Babylon finally falls, the scriptures tell us that "great shall be the fall of it." When the Titanic takes its final plunge, one must be well away from the great ship as it pulls vast quantities of water after it on its way to the distant bottom. The suction immediately around the ship is as deadly as being trapped on the ship itself as its plunges downward.

One must be off the doomed ship, but also well away from its massive bulk. There must be sufficient distance to be truly safe and secure. The time is rapidly approaching when the Saints, and all good, noble, just, and righteous people who will associate with them, and do not want to "go down with the ship," will have to "flee to Zion." Only there will there be safety and peace. Only there will one not have to sleep on his sword. Only there will there still be personal, economic, and religious freedom. Only there will our children and children's children have a chance, not only to be free, independent men and woman, but moral, ethical, and yes, righteous individuals with more upon their minds than their bellies, organs of generation, and punishing ideological enemies through the politicians they hire to make everything "fair."

As a conservative, I really, really feel odd in saying this, but the time for revolution has come. I'm not talking about revolution in the streets. That will come as well, if the Left and the Gadianton's are not stopped before the sun goes down. They're already within the city walls, and now, as the Book of Mormon warns, the problems are much more difficult to solve. The spiritual, moral, and intellectual fighting is now house to house, street to street, and hand to hand.

The revolution I'm talking about is a political, social, and cultural one. It is high time that conservatives, Republicans, and the mealy, self absorbed Republican party learn the art of political and cultural war and take to the field of battle with only one objective - victory.

We are living in wartime. I'm not even talking about Muslim extremism here. The fifth columns within our own country, and the remainder of the West, are of far more urgent concern. The time for appeasement with the Left is passed. The time for "bipartisanship" is past. The time for "working with the Democrats to "get things done" is long past and meaningless. The time for "reaching across the aisle" is past. The time for "dialogue and discussion" with the Left has passed.

And yet, the battle has not yet really been joined...

All we can do is hope that his basement is full of paint balls and not more serious explosives.

The dude is nuts, but I am hoping harmless.

LOL!!!

I guess he forgot. Dehlin is just implied in all of the stuff about Babylon, Socialism, etc.

This is a crisis point, a "tipping point' for limited self government, individual liberty, property rights, and economic freedom (the social/cultural core of all the others). The Constitution is, for all intents, ended. It is now not only a "living document" but a dead letter. The Constitution is now what one unaccountable judge in a 5/4 decision says it is. The rule of law is passed. We are now living in an age of the rule of men; the rule of lawmakers and of those who rule - rulers.

You're lamenting an American legal principle that was established in 1803. Is that when the Constitution ended? Why do you think this case changed anything in that regard?

Well, at least he does his part protecting the sanity that is Daniel Peterson's apologetics. I mean, Daniel would never go apocalyptic by repeatedly implying that Obama is the anti-Christ...

Remember, it is only unconstitutional if it doesn't cut your way.

I'm gonna have to go with "loon."

While there have been many demonstrations of it in the two years I've been here, this OP is the best example yet that watching Droopy talk about the Constitution is like a 12 year-old virgin picking up the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and pontificating about romantic relationships with adult women. Droopy doesn't like the result, but he has no idea how the legal system works. This opinion is great if you are of the belief that Congress' powers should be limited. Roberts reached his decision on narrow taxation clause grounds, not broad, sweeping powers so that the federal government can do whatever it wants. The opinion is actually very conservative, despite its result. It appears to be great precedent for limited, enumerated powers of Congress. But as I said, Droopy would have to have read and understood the opinion to know that. There is no reason to believe he has done the former, and no reason to believe he is capable of the latter.

[_Doctor Scratch]

I see that this is yet another occasion for Droopy's hypocrisy to do the talking. For posters here who are relatively new, it needs to be said that Droopy has never really worked--he has effectively lived on the government dole his entire life. Either that, or he lucked out and got an inheritance (some of which he apparently squandered on an ill-advised paintballing venture), thus enabling to avoid work for even longer stretches of time. Personally, I think that decisions and opinions on matters like this one are more valid when they are being made by people who actually work and pay taxes, and Droopy doesn't fit into either of those categories.
