Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~Governmental authority flows from meeting needs, ensuring rights, and doing justice. Can you realistically say the American government is successfully doing ANY of these things?
~Um…it’s illegal. Like, try reading the Constitution sometime.
~Consider some common practices like gay marriage, premarital sex, adultery, divorce, abortion, pornography, blasphemy, militarism, secularism, disrespect of parents, drug use, and schools and the media teaching anti-Christian values and ideas. How sure are you that this cesspool is worth defending?
~The level of tyranny and oppression we suffer under today would have made King George look like the most benign dictator in history.
~If the Ten Commandments are the basis of a rational system of law, then our system has gone terribly awry.
~The whole reason for having the Second Amendment is so that we will be able to use those arms when the needful situation arises.
~The notion of domestic enemies of the Constitution is so real that it’s actually a part of the oath of office: to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.
~What imaginary situation can you offer where you would consider taking up arms against a government of domestic enemies that isn’t already essentially true?
