THE CASTLE REPORT: Who Left the Zoo Unlocked?

Play

Darrell Castle argues that the one who enables the dangerous animal to walk out of his cage at the zoo is more responsible for the animal’s actions than the animal.


Transcription / Notes

WHO LEFT THE ZOO UNLOCKED?

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 28th day of June in the year of our Lord 2024. I take a brief break from war today, at least from foreign wars, and talk about the war going on right here in America. I will be talking about horrible subjects, such as murder, torture, and rape of children. My argument is that the one who enables the dangerous animal to walk out of his cage at the zoo is more responsible for the animal’s actions than the animal is.

Animals live and survive by instinct unlike humans who have souls and self-awareness. The rattlesnake doesn’t want to strike you but if he feels threatened, he will strike. The tiger and the leopard kill the deer and the antelope, not because they hate them, but because they are their food, and they act out of instinct to survive.

Not everyone has the opportunity to see exotic animals like big cats and dangerous reptiles in their natural habitats so we have zoos, even in our big cities people can go to the zoo and see a tiger, leopard, or cobra safely held in cages. What would happen if the zookeeper was a deranged lunatic or just someone who hated his fellow human beings, and he intentionally left the cage doors open. It would be even worse if he opened the cages and then left tasty snacks around the local neighborhood just to whet the appetites of the hungry animals.

When the animals leave the zoo, having no conscious and never hearing that voice that says no don’t do that because it would be despicable, vile, disgusting, and human society will punish you if you do. The animal is devoid of that capacity to reason so simply reacts on instinct and he kills. The unfortunate victim of the animal just happened to be available when the animal felt the instinctive drive of hunger or fear. In the wild the tiger and the leopard will look at the herd of antelope to determine if there are any sick or crippled in the herd because they would be easier to catch and less able to defend themselves.

The sick, diseased, animals who live and circulate among normal humans pretending to be human themselves operate the same way. Their victim is usually a child or a vulnerable woman. Why do we never hear about a Navy Seal, or Delta Force Trooper being raped and murdered by the animals among us. The answer is the same as the leopard and the antelope and the reason the leopard picks the slowest not the fastest.

My point with this introduction is not to argue that the humans among us who prey on the weak and helpless, are without guilt, far from it. In my opinion the laws designed to protect us should offer more concern and compassion for the victim while respecting the Constitutional right of the accused to be judged fairly. The debate about the death penalty for horrible crimes is for us to take up another day. My argument today is that the one who intentionally leaves the zoo cage open and entices the leopard into a civilized human neighborhood is more guilty of the crime than the leopard.

The leopard has to be put down because he is now a human killer. That is because in a civilized society we respect human life and put a high value on it. That value is so high that if you unlawfully take one, you just might forfeit your own. In order to start the process of regaining our way as free Americans we must begin to respect and protect human life again. The issue in this Castle Report is who is the most responsible when the leopard kills a child, the leopard or the zookeeper.

President Joe Biden and his Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, are the zookeepers in America today. People voted for Joe Biden, but no one voted for Mayorkas except those in the United States Senate who confirmed him. Blame falls on them as well as on everyone with any capacity to remove these men from public office and who fail to do so. Mr. Mayorkas, who I realize is just the gun in the hand of Joe Biden, was born in Havana, Cuba in 1959. I wish his family had remained in Cuba where Alejandro would undoubtedly have been more comfortable living under that communist system.

I might be wrong about that on second thought because the Castro brothers would probably have been less tolerant of child rape and murder than our present Democrat administration. Let me speak now about specific crimes of the most horrifying nature, at least they would be to any normal human. These two men are guilty of these crimes just as if they had literally committed them by themselves because they left the zoo cage open and they invited the leopards into the surrounding neighborhoods, and they did it intentionally.

Women are at risk from men and always have been. Our laws are designed to preserve the lives of the weak and helpless from the monsters who live among us but lately this country through its president has been importing monsters in record numbers. These monsters have been going about their animalistic crimes in a mind-numbing number of places around the country. Snatching random women off the streets, raping, torturing, and murdering them seemingly at will. Horrifyingly, many of the victims have been children so let me take just a moment to calm down because this triggers something in me. Perhaps it is a long dormant training from 50 years ago which taught me that we were to fight to protect the women and children back home.

To speak of all the victims would numb our minds and might even be disrespectful to the victims. I would never use the names of these women and children under normal circumstances, but their deaths have been so publicized that their names and pictures are all over the internet. If you don’t use the internet for news and rely on the New York Times, the TV networks, or your local paper, well then you might have a different view and one that is less clear than mine.

I will give you just a few examples to illustrate my point. Please keep in mind that these examples are just the obvious and most publicized but there are literally dozens of rapes and murders, and they are happening far too often to keep up with. Rachel Morin, mother of five children, 37 years old decided to go for a run on a quiet trail in her peaceful, suburban, hometown of Bel Air, Maryland where she was raped and murdered.

Twenty-three-year-old Victor Martinez Herandez was finally arrested after DNA evidence linked him to the crime.  He was invited into the country in January 2023 after murdering a woman in his home of El Salvador. Once in America, he attacked and brutalized a mother and her 9-year-old daughter during a home invasion in March 2023 in Los Angeles. DNA linked the two cases together and tied them to Mr. Herandez. Ms. Morin’s murder, according to the sheriff, was the second in Harford County, Maryland in two years, by an illegal from a criminal gang in El Salvador. We are 1800 miles from the border so this should not be happening, he said.  This is where I point out that absent the invitation of Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas, Mr. Herandez would be sitting in an El Salvador prison or dead. To put it bluntly, dozens of women and girls would be alive and safe today if it were not for Joe Biden and his henchmen.

Here’s the latest atrocity, at least the latest that I am aware of. A 12-year-old child, Jocelyn Nungaray, was found strangled to death in a creek in Houston, Texas. Two illegal aliens from Venezuela were arrested for her death. Those two men are Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Remos, 26. Mr. Ramos had his bail set at $10 million. The two men reportedly lured the child under a bridge where they assaulted her for hours before they murdered her and left her body in a drainage canal.

Mr. Ramos was detained by the Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas on May 28, but under the catch and release orders of Joe Biden, they released him to rape, torture, and murder this poor child.

According to the local District Attorney, Kim Ogg, both suspects could face the death penalty so I must assume that she wasn’t appointed to her position by George Soros. I know that down in Texas, if you kill one of theirs, sometimes they kill you back so let’s hope justice is done. No, on second thought, justice is not achievable because the real rapists, torturers, and murderers are protected and above the law. This November, literally tens of millions of Americans will vote to endorse what the real killers have done.

Texas Governor Gregg Abott said, “kill kids in Texas you get the death penalty. That little girl would be alive today if Biden enforced immigration law at the border”. Donald Trump called the child’s mother to offer sympathy and support, but Joe Biden issued a press release saying he wished condolences to the family, the identical statement to the one for the mother of five who was murdered and raped in Maryland. The community around Jocelyn’s neighborhood has contributed to her Go Fund Me account as one might expect, and that is fine but nothing will bring Jocelyn back and nothing will relieve the suffering of her family.

One more case to let you know that some children are able to escape from their rapists and murderers despite the efforts of the undocumented guest. Last week a 13-year-old girl and another child were walking home from school in Flushing Meadow, New York. It was about 3:30 PM so the attack occurred in broad daylight in a public place. Her attacker, Christian Inga-Landi, was from Ecuador and entered the country, it is believed in 2021. Inga was ordered by an immigration judge in New York City to leave the country on February 2, 2022, but he didn’t. He crossed the Mexican Border on June 25,2021 with his son and entered Eagle Pass, Texas where he was captured, processed and released. The two were deemed inadmissible by the Border Patrol, but under the Biden rules, what can you do.

He grabbed the girl and a male friend and forced them with a machete into a secluded area where he tied them with shoelaces and raped the little girl. He stole their cell phones but did not kill them which was an unusual act of mercy for a wild animal. I imagine the child will remember the event for the rest of her life, but I hope and pray she finds some peace. Everyone in the system contributed to her suffering from the agents who are just doing their jobs all the way to the White House. Joe Biden is, however, responsible for her rape as he is the leader who invited it by opening the zoo cages.

Here are just a few more some of whom I have talked about before. February 22, 2024, Laken Riley a 22-year-old nursing student went for a run on her college campus and was kidnapped, assaulted and bludgeoned to death by illegal, Venezuelan, Jose Ibarra.

July 27, 2022, Frederick, Maryland, yes, it looks like Maryland is dangerous, but I surmise it’s just close to D.C. the very epicenter of crime. Kayla Hamilton age 20 was raped and strangled to death with a phone-charging cord. He was 17, the murderer, so a juvenile and his name weren’t released but he entered the country illegally in 2021 despite his known affiliation with the violent El Salvador gang, MS-13. His tattoos, even his shirt screamed violent MS-13, but they let him in anyway because that is their orders

I could go on all day with examples because Joe Biden, and Alejandro Mayorkas, are allowing their invited guests to go on raping and murdering at a phenomenal rate but enough is enough. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, a division of the United Nations, tells us that sexual violence against females is rampant in Latin America. In fact, what the organization calls femicide is soaring in Latin America and is one of the drivers of immigration. OK, hearing that, why do our leaders want so badly to create the same atmosphere of fear and violence in America, and why do American women vote for it.

Democrats Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas know the people they are inviting into the country are rapists, murderers, criminals, thieves, and monsters, along with those just seeking a better life, but they just don’t care. I have to assume they are getting what they want from it but I do wonder why so many women support them. I don’t want to be too hard on Democrat women because it seems they are so committed to abortion that everything else is just lies and fake news. It’s Baghdad Bob again, i.e. you are not seeing this, and this is not happening.

Finally, folks, there are three levels of guilt here. The first is the murderer and rapist who is just the gun in the hand of the zookeeper. The second is the zookeeper who is Joe Biden and his toadies. He is the most responsible and most guilty of the rape, torture, and murder of at least dozens of women and girls in America on his watch. The third are the people who vote to put such people in power I suppose because they don’t believe the stories. To those Democrat women who don’t believe the stories I would suggest calling Jocelyn, but I remember now she was raped and murdered.

At least that’s the way I see it,

Until next time folks,

This is Darrell Castle,

Thanks for listening.

“The 3 Ds”


June 27, 2024

Dear Friends of Life and Liberty,

“The 3 Ds” is the goal of the Constitution Party presidential/vice-presidential candidates, Randall Terry & Pastor Stephen Broden.

 

 Click here to learn more about these candidates!

 

 

Randall Terry, an outspoken advocate for the unborn, is the Founder of the anti-abortion group, Operation Rescue, who led the largest, peaceful civil disobedience in American history from 1987 to 1994.

 

Since the election of the Terry/Broden ticket (the Campaign) in the first round of voting at the National Convention in Salt Lake City, much interest in the Party has been generated in many states.  While most ballot-qualified states will be placing the Terry/Broden candidates on their ballots, the energy and message of the Campaign has inspired non-ballot qualified states to work towards obtaining ballot access.

 

 

OUR OFFICE IS EXPLODING WITH INQUIRIES!

The Campaign’s goal is to be on the ballot in at least 20 states. Any campaign for the presidency that has ballot access in at least ten states qualifies to advertise TV ads nationally, without censorship, 60 days before the election.  These ads can be strategically placed on stations in ballot qualified states which broadcast into states where we do not have ballot access.

Therefore, I am writing to request that our faithful supporters make their most generous donation to help us place ads on TV for the Campaign.  These professional ads will create a media FIRESTORM that will give HUGE attention, like never before, to the Constitution Party. No other presidential candidate in the CP history has placed TV ads to get this type of recognition.

 

Click here (or copy and paste into your browser) to see this awesome Constitution Party TV ad:  America Is In Crisis!

 

We are urging all supporters to contribute towards this effort, no matter what the amount. I believe this effort will benefit the Party’s growth and create better name recognition for the future.  The Campaign has already been doing lots of interviews, and a number of articles have been written about them as well as radio and podcast interviews, including interviews by the Washington Post and the Epoch Times.

 

UPCOMING EVENTS: Stephen Broden plans to speak at the convention of the Constitution Party of Wisconsin, as well as media interviews in the days prior to the convention. Randall Terry will be speaking at the convention of the U.S. Taxpayers Party, which is the Constitution Party affiliate in Michigan.

 

HELP US GET THE TRUTH OUT

  1. Will you host a Zoom call?  For more information, contact the Terry/Broden Campaign Manager Joe Slovenec at Joe [at] Terry2024 [dot] com
  2. Contact other Constitution Party members, or like-minded supporters in your state, and ask them to donate to TV advertising and/or ballot access.  Getting these ads in front of American voters is essential for promoting the party and obtaining ballot access in more states in time for the 2024 election!

Ballot Access Battle Looms in North Carolina


June 29, 2024

FROM: National Chairman Jim Clymer

TO: All Patriots!

We need immediate help for the Party in North Carolina. They have worked tirelessly for three-and-a-half years to gather the required 13,865 verified signatures, and they submitted over 19,000 signatures with 14,504 verified by the counties.

This should have been the end of the matter.  But an outrage has occurred.

   

On Wednesday, June 26, the Board of Elections met and refused ballot access because the State Party Chairman’s “address” had changed since the start of the 3-1/2 year process.

According to Richard Winger from Ballot Access News, there is no legal precedent to rule in this fashion. For equally ridiculous reasons, the Board of Elections ruled against the “We The People Party” (RFK) and the “Justice for All Party” (Cornel West). There are five members on the board—three Democrats and two Republicans—and you guessed it, the Democrats voted against us.

The Constitution Party of North Carolina, along with these other two parties, decided to team up together and hire a legal team to sue the state to protect our ballot access.

 

We must fight and fight we will!

This is where you come in.

Like all state parties, North Carolina is not flush with cash by any means and cannot fight this on their own with no money. We are asking fellow patriots and the party faithful to dig deep into your bank accounts and help finance this legal battle. We cannot sit idly by after North Carolina labored for over three years to acquire this many signatures.

These elites know that minor parties like ours never have much extra money and think they can bully us because we don’t have the means to fight back.  Well, they picked the wrong Party to bully.

 

We must stand with our brothers and sisters in North Carolina and fight this grave injustice. This hard work must not be in vain. Please be as generous as possible. This fight will not be cheap, but it will cost less because we are banding together with others in the fight.

Please take the time NOW and DONATE TO BALLOT ACCESS. All funds will go to this fight, and if there is any money left over, it will go into our ballot access fund to help other states gain ballot access.

 

I cannot stress how important and urgent this is. Please click on the link above and donate TODAY!

Click here: DONATE TO BALLOT ACCESS and PLEASE be as generous as possible. Remember, all funds will go to this fight, and if there is any money left over, it will go into our ballot access fund.

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our cause. Together, we will overcome this injustice and ensure that every voice is heard.

2024 Election of Executive Officers and Area Chairmen

~ MESSAGE FROM JIM CLYMER~

DATE:    April 30, 2024

After a total of 16 years serving the Constitution Party as your National Chairman, with three 4-year terms from 1999 to 2012, and then again for one 4-year term from 2020 to 2024, it is time for me to step down and hand the reigns over to someone else.

At the Spring 2024 National Committee Meeting this past weekend and following the National Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, I am happy to announce that Justin Magill was nominated and was elected to the position of National Chairman.

Justin is an attorney and lives in Erie, PA, where he serves as the Vice-Chairman and the NW Regional Chairman for the Constitution Party of Pennsylvania.  He also served as a Member-At-Large on the Executive Committee for the last 4 years.

I am proud to also announce the following people as newly elected members now joining the Executive Committee.  They are:

Glen Miller from Utah has accepted the nomination as National Vice-Chairman.  Glen joined the Constitution Party in 2008 and has also served on the Executive Committee as a Member-At-Large since 2019.  I’m sure many recognize Glen as the author and editor of the Howard Phillips Legacy Society’s monthly “Victory Report“.

Megan Schmitt of our newest affiliated Party in New Hampshire has accepted the position as our National Secretary.  Megan is a founding member of the Constitution Party of New Hampshire where she serves as their State Secretary and prepares their monthly Newsletter.  She is passionate and energetic, and I know she’s going to be a responsible secretary.

Gerald (Jerry) Wistrand from a Kansas City suburb of Missouri has accepted the very important position as our National Treasurer.  Jerry has been an IT Auditor for 36 years and is the Constitution Party of Missouri’s State Treasurer.  He is currently coordinating Missouri’s ballot access petition campaign while also serving as the Chairman of Jackson County and as an Alternate Member to the National Committee.

Bob Goodrich, the State Chairman of the Constitution Party of Pennsylvania and a National Committee Member, has accepted the position as Eastern States Area Chairman.

Kristen Jackson, the State Co-Chairman of the newest affiliated Constitution Party of New Hampshire and a National Committee Member, has accepted the position as Eastern States Area Co-Chairman.

Dan (Red) Phillips, M.D. has been an active member of the Constitution Party of Georgia for several years as well as a National Committee Member.  He wants to help grow the Party as the Southern States Area Co-Chairman along with re-elected Southern States Area Chairman, Kevin Hayes, from North Carolina.

Dr. Steven Sylvester, the State Chairman of the Constitution Party of Illinois and a National Committee Member, was nominated and accepted the position as Mid-Western States Area Co-Chairman along with re-elected Mid-Western States Area Chairman, Paul Venable, from Missouri.

Janine Hansen from Nevada and Kirk Pearson from Utah were re-elected as the Western States Area Chairman and Co-Chairman.

Won’t you please join me in giving these members a hearty congratulations for volunteering to help lead the Constitution Party in the way it should go.

As my last reminder and request, the Constitution Party needs your financial support more now than ever before.  Your donations will help us garner ballot access in some states as well as promote our newly elected presidential candidate, pro-life warrior, Randall Terry.

This is a critical time in our country.

It is time for concerned patriots to man the ramparts.

It has been an honor to serve you and the Party I have loved from the beginning of its creation.  I will still be around in a training capacity during the transition period until the Fall 2024 National Committee Meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 8-9, 2024.

For Liberty,

Jim Clymer
National Chairman

Gorsuch Condemns COVID Policies for Violating Civil Liberties

n

Gorsuch Condemns COVID Policies for Violating Civil Liberties: Where Are the Rest?

Written by: Robert W. Peck, former Executive Committee Member, State Chairman of the Constitution Party of Washington and current continuing supporter

In a statement relating to the case of Arizona v. Alejandro Mayorkas (Secretary of Homeland Security), US Supreme Court Justice, Neil Gorsuch, condemned government-imposed COVID policies that turned the legal and legislative process on its head and violated civil liberties. The justice’s review of actions taken by local, state, and federal governments over the past three years reads like a report on human rights abuses from the socialist Soviet Union era. Previous generations of Americans would have thought the justice’s statements were from a dystopian novel, not current events.

Here are some key passages from Justice Gorsuch’s statement.

“Since March 2020, we may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country. Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale. Governors and local leaders imposed lockdown orders forcing people to remain in their homes. They shuttered businesses and schools, public and private. They closed churches even as they allowed casinos and other favored businesses to carry on… They divided cities and neighborhoods into color-coded zones, forced individuals to fight for their freedoms in court on emergency timetables, and then changed their color-coded schemes when defeat in court seemed imminent.

“Federal executive officials entered the act too… They deployed a public-health agency to regulate landlord-tenant relations nationwide. They used a workplace-safety agency to issue a vaccination mandate… They threatened to fire noncompliant employees, and warned that service members who refused to vaccinate might face dishonorable discharge and confinement. Along the way, it seems federal officials may have pressured social-media companies to suppress information about pandemic policies with which they disagreed.

“While executive officials issued new emergency decrees at a furious pace, state legislatures and Congress—the bodies normally responsible for adopting our laws—too often fell silent. Courts bound to protect our liberties addressed a few—but hardly all—of the intrusions upon them. In some cases, like this one, courts even allowed themselves to be used to perpetuate emergency public-health decrees for collateral purposes, itself a form of emergency-lawmaking-by-litigation.”

Amen Justice Gorsuch–someone finally said it!

But where are the rest?

For over three years now, governors, presidents, and a plethora of agents and agencies under their charge have usurped powers not constitutionally delegated to them and trampled on rights once held sacred. The lawless and oppressive nature of lockdown-shutdown-maskup-vaxup orders was able to be known from day one (Why Covid Orders Are Not Law) . Statements like that of Justice Gorsuch could have and should have been issued by every public official in the land, including two Presidents that presided over the pandemic, 535 members of Congress, 50 governors, 7,558 state legislators, thousands of county commissioners, thousands of county sheriffs, and tens of thousands of mayors and city councilmen.

Yet of those thousands of public officials whose duty it is to defend our God-given rights and uphold the constitutional rule of law, we now have this statement issued by one Supreme Court justice, two governors who either declined to implement, or stood up against unlawful policies (South Dakota and Florida), and Rand Paul, who continues to be a voice for liberty in the US Senate.

So again, I ask, where are the rest?

Are there any others in elected office anywhere in the land who comprehend the concept of inherent, immutable, God-given rights and who hold fidelity to the plain text and original intent of the Constitution provided for the preservation of those rights?

There has been discussion about the effectiveness of masks and the safety of the shots, though relatively little of that has come from elected officials. But frankly, those discussions distracted us from the paramount issue. From day one, the salient question has been whether we will remain free and autonomous souls with rights bestowed by our Creator, or become the slavish wards of an almighty state.

So again, I ask, where are the voices of other public officials championing the rule of law and decrying the violation of rights?

Where were the hundreds of Republican members of Congress who could have provided national leadership by issuing a joint statement denouncing such policies as unlawful and violating civil liberties?

Where was the Republican Party, which could have issued a statement akin to that of Justice Gorsuch, then threatened to expel from the party any governors issuing emergency orders that violate the God-given rights of their citizens?

Where were the large, well-funded organizations of the right–the ones that beg Granny for her social security check so they can save the grandkids from the libs by electing more Republicans–organizations that could have mounted major legal battles in defense of churches, small businesses, and workers rights?

Finally, where was the Christian-conservative-right, the voting block that talks about liberty, complained about masks and mandates, then went back to the polls to reelect nearly every Republican regardless of whether they perpetrated, or merely tolerated the violation of our rights?

It would appear the favored party of the right, nearly all its office holders, and the people who elect them have all collectively lost the understanding of, and forsaken devotion to, the concept of God-given rights and constitutionally limited government.

No, I’m not exaggerating. Just look at the results. The violations outlined by Justice Gorsuch occurred in every blue state and over 90 percent of red states, including states with complete Republican control (23 states after the 2020 election). The land of liberty has lost its constitutional compass, and the conservative right has forgotten the rights it set out to conserve.

This is the fruit produced by a policy of pursuing victory through compromise.

For over 30 years now, I’ve watched as the Christian-conservative-right has consistently moved away from candidates who embodied its professed values in favor of those the pundits and party hacks told them could “beat the Democrat.” Over this same time, the right gradually forgot the principles it was compromising away to win at the polls. Slowly and subtly, conservatives assimilated the policies and practices of those they were taught to cheer for as their perceived deliverers. The result is that today the right supports a party and votes for politicians its predecessors would have tried for treachery.

The loneness of Justice Gorsuch’s voice crying in the political wilderness demonstrates the degree to which there is no longer a major political party or a significant faction within a party that retains the American ideals of liberty through inherent, immutable, God-given rights protected by the constitutional rule of law.

Yes, a few small activist organizations have pursued remedy against COVID policies in the courts, and a rare few alternative media commentators have voiced a constitutional and rights-based view on the matter. But there is no body of elected leaders, no well-funded political organizations, and no populist movement left in the land acknowledging and holding fidelity to the Creator as the source of rights and the Constitution as the source of law. There may be some politicians who give lip service to such, but their inaction during COVID belies them.

Without the acknowledgment of the Creator as the source of rights and the Constitution as the source of law, we are left to drift on a sea of secular humanist philosophy where the passions of human opinion and whims of government edict reign supreme, arbitrarily decreeing who, if any, has rights and what they might be on any given day.

Yes, I’m saying that all our human institutions, including the popular organizations of the right, have failed us, and we’re now beyond all political hope of recovering the republic. But that’s a good thing. It’s good if it leads us to give up hope–false hope that is. And indeed, all hope that looks to man, man-made institutions, and man’s political machinations is false hope.

The only valid basis for all true hope is faith in the integrity of our Creator and the veracity of His word.

Does that mean we should withdraw from the political realm? Not at all. Quite the opposite.

The proper role of the church as ambassadors for the owner and soon-coming king of this planet is to declare our Lord’s counsels, principles, and purposes to mankind, including to the institutions of men and their civil societies, so that they might know how to govern themselves according to His will and be blessed.

However, it is utterly perverse for the people of God to go around looking to human political institutions for power by which to save ourselves, prostituting ourselves and our professed principles in exchange for a seat at their table. Satan has twisted our minds and turned the tables on us. He has us seeing ourselves as beggars seeking power from the world by which to save ourselves from the world.

In reality, all power, both in heaven and on earth, belongs to our Lord, and the power that this world’s leaders currently wield is on loan to them from him. They will soon give an account to him for their use of it. And we will give an account of our ambassadorship and whether we have used it to properly represent our king and the counsels of his kingdom.

No, I’m not saying we should despair of hope and give up.

I am saying that it’s time for Christians in America to turn off the TV news, turn off the talk radio, put down the column by our favorite pundit, and instead go aside, get quiet, get alone with our own thoughts, and ask God to begin showing us again what are the first principles of His revealed will for human society and its civil governance. Then, return to the standard that the Lord shows us and refuse to be moved from it even if it means standing alone; even if it means voting alone; even if it means writing in the name of the one person we know who overtly honors God and upholds the rule of law.

You see, God’s ability to bless, honor, protect, and provide is not determined by who is in office. God’s honor comes upon those who honor Him (1 Samuel 2:30), and blessing is to those who forsake trust in man and human might and return to trusting in the Lord (Jeremiah 17:5).
