I think it's the 3rd one.
This is by my favorite teacher in HS. Very interesting stuff on religion, politicians and Jefferson himself. One of the most brilliant men of their time ever.
Was he perfect no (slavery, fell into the lures of big government somewhat) but his beliefs are the basis for most of mine.
"The government which governs best, governs least." Can you imagine a politcians saying that today? State's rights, another long dead concept that barely exists today. Individual liberties, lost in the politcians "war on the Individual".
Kind of long but worth a listen. It's pretty much audio only so you cna lsiten while you work.

Actually, they do say it. But can you imagine one saying it and then walking their talk?
I can't.

I meant say it and have someone actually beleive them or not follow it up with their plans to increase the power of government.

Same thing.
It would feel rather odd to have a real live, honest to God "Conservative" in office wouldn't it? All we get are liars who claim the name but never live up to it.

Keep all fucking organized religion out of politics the key word is all. What ever your superstitious beliefs are keep them out of the government it's for the believers own benefit and pay off, any way. All organized Religions lead to is the degradation and manipulation of a civilized society it is a proven constant through out history.

Jesse, a REAL Christian in office is not a bad thing. A REAL Christian heeds the words, render under Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods. God is not interested in politics. Only in the heart of true believers. He doesn't want lies and thievery, trickery, deceit and wars done in His name. An honest Christian is no more dangerous than an honest anyone else. The problem lies in whether or not you can actually find an honest politician who just happens to also be an honest believer in God.
If we EVER get a REAL Christian or TRUE BELIEVER in God in office, we aren't going to see all the BS done that is currently being done in God's name.

Why muddy up the water with religion when we have the NWO to do that and
more to us? Maybe thats just another tool in their arsenal? Never underestimate your enemy.
