OUR HOUSE IS DIVIDED

The United States is a severely divided nation. We are divided between those who understand and support our founding principles and those who support collectivism, which is communism.
I listen to and read the viewpoints of both sides. I have read extensively about the events leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Those would be events that started in 1607 in Jamestown and 1620 in Plymouth. Both Jamestown and Plymouth began as collectivist communities and had to switch to individualism just to survive.
I have read extensively about the theories of individualism and collectivism from times past. A great study of the differences can be found in the Bible as we see the trials and tribulations of the nation of Israel and then Judah and Israel after the death of King Solomon. We must always understand that things do change such as the means of communication and transportation, but human nature stays the same.
The divide in the United States is that age old divide, that being the eternal battle between individualism and collectivism, which is that age old battle of individual liberty and freedom as opposed to government control.
Americans today, even many in the Conservative movement and the Maga movement, do not understand the uniqueness of the United States. The United States was the first and only nation since the first AD century to be founded on the principles of individualism. The United States was founded on the principle that rights and liberties come from God and are given to individuals. The role of government was to protect those rights and liberties and not to ration them. Our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution both declare the evil of government. They both understand that government unchecked will always become tyrannical. They both place ultimate power in the hands of the people. They both declare the importance of protecting rights and liberties given to individuals by God, not by some higher power, not by some mythical entity, but by God Almighty of the Bible. Yes our nation is a Bible, the total Bible, both Testaments, based nation.
Today we have people who believe the United States is a democracy. This is a major source of misunderstanding and the source of our problems. Even Conservatives and MAGA people proclaim democracy. We are a Republic. The differences are great. Our founders unanimously rejected democracy and chose a republic. Democracy is dictatorship or complete and total rule by the majority of some body.  Rights and liberties are given and taken based on the whims of that majority.
In a republic the law is the ultimate ruler. In our republic, that would be the Constitution. Rights and liberties are protected for all.
As the United States has transitioned from a republic to a democracy, dictatorship of the majority of some body, and abandonment of the law or our Constitution we have become a nation where our elections are now determined by vote counters and not be voters. The Constitution was obliterated leading up to the 2020 election as judges, governors, election officials, and others made election rules that the Constitution says cannot be made by them but by state legislatures.
There is nothing in our Constitution about abortion and yet the majority of the Supreme Court claimed it existed. This decision would clearly be given to state legislatures, under the law, and would apply to each state. All powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved for the states and the people.
The federal government, no government has the legal authority to censor. Our freedom of speech cannot be abridged. Freedom of speech includes freedom of thought and freedom of information.
Our right to be protected from illegal searches has no exceptions. Our right to bear arms cannot be infringed. And yes the majority of some body has determined otherwise. This is democracy and not a republic.
Great nations have fallen for this very reason. Israel and then Judah were both great nations. They chose not to follow the law. They both failed. Other great nations and empires have also failed as the majority of some body became dictator with absolute power.
The United States will follow these other nations if we continue to ignore first of all the law of God upon which we were founded, and the Constitution. We must again become a republic or a nation of law and not a nation of men as John Adams stated.
