Tonight’s Debate Is Over Power, Not Freedom

"Make no mistake about it: tonight’s presidential debate between President Biden and former President Trump is simply about power. Who is going to wield the reins of power over the welfare-regulatory-warfare state? Will it be Biden and the Democrats or will it be Trump and the Republicans? Which ones will wield the power to tax, regulate, control, direct, command, conscript, sacrifice, torture, or assassinate us? Equally important, which ones will wield the power to give us tax-funded welfare largess, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, educational grants, subsidies, bailouts, and all the rest of the welfare-warfare state benefits.

From a libertarian standpoint, it won’t make any difference whether it’s Biden or Trump who wins the presidency. That’s because it is the welfare-state system, the regulatory-state system, and the warfare-state system, not Biden and Trump, that are the problem. It’s the system that destroys freedom, not the people who manage the system, that is the problem."

Saldy it is about egos and not really the issues. But the main issues will be the economy, immigration, border security, Israel, Ukraine, etc. Just wished we had an transparent election but sadly it will be anything BUT!! You can only pray!

He was a national embarrassment long before this… but now he has dimensia. Time to fall on the sword is what our citizens must both conclude and communicate (to the Democrat’s)

And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. 1 Sam 8:11

The government will take everything you have ----- You will own nothing and you will be happy --- WEF

However it wasn't just them; It's the nature of the kingdom of men influenced by the deception of Satan. See Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. and Dan 2:37-43 read on your own, and Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

From the beginning man rejected the government of God, by the will of God, for the purpose of God. It is the nature of flesh and blood.

However God is on the job.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.


Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom [Government] of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom [Government] of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
