Why, do we put up with this? We don't. The system that provides us with candidates for public office is broken? The Political Party System for conducting elections is corrupt... The current methods used in our elections have not yielded the quality leadership necessary to successfully administer our government... federal, state, or local government. Our elections are corrupt and are at the root of our problems with government and the culture.
It isn't our system of government... nor its underlying precepts for government that has failed us... it is a massively corrupt two-party political system that manages our elections, ensuring their candidates are elected to high public office. The Public is being forced to choose between candidates that are the lesser of evils.. that is not choice... that is coersion and has led us to... government by political fiat... not the informed choice of those governed.
Our Nation's problems are not structural they are administrative... the product of a corrupt system for administering elections, and the mechanics of a government administered by corrupt officials, and political electioneering.

Question: Why Do We Have Corrupt And Despotic Government?
Answer: Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
Thank you for your generous contribution to Convention of States; your support plays an instrumental role in bringing us closer to achieving lasting positive change for our nation's future.
My "GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION" was $5.00. Not much, right? But they were GENEROUS and THOUGHTFUL TO REPLY.
IMHO - the fall of integrity started when the US government evicted G*d from schools, public events and from the social moral construct. Now America has a G*dless government. When G*d was removed a vacuum was created and evil rushed in to fill the void. Corruption is the manifestation of evil.
Amen, Steve... Corruption is the 'manifestation' of evil.
The wise are wise in their own eyes.
Court decisions that led to this calamitee——
1962—Engle v Vitale: Official Prayer "violates" the Establishment Clause.
1963—Abington School District v Schempp: Prohibits state-sponsored school prayer.
1965—US v Seeger: Asking for a belief in God to receive exemption as Conscientious Objector, is unconsittutional. (Seeger was agnostic)
Wallace v Jaffree: One-minute of silence in all public schools violates the 1st A. establishment clause.
1971—Lemon v Kurtzman: Salary supplements at Parochial school represented "excessive entanglement" between government and religion. Initiated 3 requirements: 1. Must be secular. 2. Must not advance nor inhibit religion. 3. Must not entangle government and religion.
1973—Roe v Wade: Blackmun authored right to privacy.
1980—Stone v Graham: Ten Commandments violates Establishment Clause. KY law violates 1st part of Lemon v Kurtzman, thus violating Establishment clause.
1985—Wallace v Jaffree: One-minute of silence in all public schools violates the 1st A. establishment clause.
1987—Edwards v Aguillard: Struck down Louisiana law requiring schools teach Creation Science along with Evolution Theory (unproven) 1987 At that time, 21% believed in Creation instead of Darwin.
1943 and 2004—Unified School District v Newdow—One right. Court upheld "Under God" in Pledge of Alliegence. Case orginally brought by American Humanist Association, atheist advocacy group.
1943—Court held students not required to salute American Flag or recite the Pledge of Alliegence.
1992—Lee v Wiseman and Santa Fe Independent School Dist v Doe, 2000, ruled public prayers at graduation ceremonies and those conducted via public address system prior ot high school games, were unconstitutional at state-sponsored facilities.
2023—Dept of Ed. Teachers and other school employees may not require or encourage students to pray.
One right Opinion—
1983—Lynch v Donnelly: One right decision, Religious display on public property did not violate Establishment Clause because it was also a secular purpose.
2022—Dobbs v Jackson: Right decision, wrong construction, still does not address CORE issue of Life/morality. It did toss it back to the states.
Results “Since prayer was removed from public school classrooms in 1962, we have had a 6-fold increase in violent crime, our divorce rate has tripled, births to single mothers have increased 5-fold, the teenage suicide rate has tripled, and SAT scores have dropped 10%. (Creation Today).

Upholding the Pledge resulted in 3 opinions of interest:
Rendquist: "the Pledge is not really religious."
Thomas: "Abolish all existing law under the Establishment Clause."
O Connor: "The Pledge is a permissible form of 'ceremonial deism, as it is brief, recited by rote, avoids reference to any religion, is not worship or prayer."

The :"HIgh Court" YET does not realize Humanism is a religion, as is Paganism, Secularism is a religion, Atheism is a religion. Faith = Belief = Religion. Core Issue.
They have YET to identify LIFE and they have YET to identify FAITH and connect World View to the two.
And accordingly—they have YET to identify Natural Law,
Wise in their own eyes—They LACK the WISDOM OF GOD. Blind fools they are.
Except Justice Thomas. He alone said casting Roe to the states did not go far enough. He SEES. He is the only one.
Voting as a tool for reform ASSUMES... the candidates are not part of the system of corruption and the voter's ballots are counted as cast. When neither are present any chance of government reform will be absent...
When an electoral system is gerrymandered and mismanaged... by corrupt POLITICAL PARTIES, interested more in maintaining their power, than serving the public... one ends up with a corrupt government ... A government INCAPABLE OF SELF-REFORM.
Neither of our major political parties are interested in returning to Constitutional Government... and why should they be?
Dishonest and corrupt men are not normally interested in reform on their own and our current system for removing such corruption is not up to the task. The results are obvious and will continue until the public finally realizes it will take their direct involvement to achieve political reform.
