day no. 15,758: without a bullet being fired

"You can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out." 
-- Douglas Wilson

A vote for socialism is a vote for doing away with voting. It is a move to use freedom to put freedom into checkmate. It is an exercise of will that puts an end to free will. As such, it is satanic. Just as Satan's maneuver was to trick Adam and Eve into using their freedom to enslave them, so socialism employs the same tactic. It is as old as sin. It is the root of the original deception. 

“There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped.” ― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Jesus has set us free from the effects of our misguided affections. We lusted after what we already had and lost what we loved in the process. May God grant us wisdom and faith to embrace a foundation of freedom fueled by a refusal to be reeled in by the wiles of the devil.

God's grace provides us with a world where we can wander into bondage without a bullet being fired. But once we're enslaved, the only way out is by blood. Jesus shed His blood to set us free. He died to give us life.

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Let us not trample His blood underfoot by submitting our free necks to the yoke of socialized slavery.
