I have another proposal. We swap California for Japan geographically and leave everything else as is.
@SethDillon You work for the Babylon Bee spewing Israeli propaganda and subverting the country with the false claim of Judeo Christian values so shut the fuck up
🚨Democrats love screaming ‘14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to everyone born here!’.. But look what the actual author of the Citizenship Clause said in 1866: ‘This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers… but will include every other class of persons.’ Senator Jacob Howard (R-MI) - the guy who introduced the language - made it crystal clear: Not automatic citizenship for children of foreigners/aliens. ‘Subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ wasn’t filler. They tried to bury this history. We just dug it up. Read the original Congressional Globe debate for yourself. The Constitution isn’t a suicide pact. #AStoneGroove
Today is Passover. We are in Exodus for our family Bible reading, and literally read about Passover yesterday. It is both a beautiful and terrible story. Pharaoh hardened his heart and refused to let God's people (the Hebrews) go. God not only warned him, but gave him tangible consequences for his refusal 9 times in the forms of plagues before escalating to the killing of the firstborns. Of course, God gave a way out. He always does. He said that anyone who put the blood of a sacrificial lamb on their doorposts would be spared. Skeptics and scoffers complain that this is not just, that a "good" God would not kill people for the "arbitrary" decision not to put some blood on their doorposts. But this is a backwards view of God and our relationship with him. You see, God is the creator, and he sets the standard. It is not for us, the creation to question or judge him. It is for us to humbly recognize that we are sinners, wholly undeserving of his grace, love, or mercy. It is in that context that God has given us a path to salvation. If we reject it, it's on us. The beauty of Passover is God used it to paint a picture of what he would do in the future. The sacrificial lamb was a picture of Jesus himself. The blood on the doorposts was a picture of Jesus' blood, shed on the cross for us. The deaths of the firstborns were the deaths we all deserve. Just as God's Spirit "passed over" the houses marked with the blood, he passes over those of us marked with the blood of Jesus. The Exodus of God's people from Egypt came at a great cost, as does our Salvation in Christ. Do you reject it? Or will you accept that which you could never earn? SOLI DEO GLORIA
