“I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes,” Sessions said during a speech to law enforcement officers in Fort Wayne, Ind."
Journalists Zauzmer and McMillan pointed out in their article today:
There are two dominant places in American history when Romans 13 is invoked,” said John Fea, a professor of American history at Messiah College in Pennsylvania. “One is during the American Revolution [when] it was invoked by loyalists, those who opposed the American Revolution.”...
The other, Fea said, “is
in the 1840s and 1850s, when Romans 13 is invoked by defenders of the
South or defenders of slavery to ward off abolitionists who believed
that slavery is wrong. I mean, this is the same argument that Southern
slaveholders and the advocates of a Southern way of life made.”
I am really tired of being ruled by the Confederacy, which came to power in the 2016 election of Trump. Racism in some of its most vile manifestations are front and center in this Administration and in some of the more extreme of Trump's base.
I want America back. White Supremacy is as odious today in Trumpland as it ever was during the days of slavery and the Jim Crow south. It is time for it to crawl back under little rocks where it belongs.
