The Forced State Religion?

The Pittsburgh PD unveiled new Pride decals on a patrol car this morning. Does anyone remember me saying this was coming coast to coast a few years ago? People thought I was crazy then, too.

One of the main reasons why the Founders left England a few hundred years ago, was to flee from the government who were forcing people to think how they thought, live how they wanted you to live, and to “worship” how they wanted you to worship. So they left, to built America. However, it seems we’ve now come full circle back to that idea. Where is the separation now?

This movement seems to not stop until it has literally painted itself on ever faction of our lives (including our government cars), and if you disagree with it, you will put you on the same level as a racist.

It’s scary today to speak up against it. Employment, jobs, certain FB friends you know will be offended if you speak out. But, do it anyway, come what may. Do it with love and conviction. Articulate yourself and WHY you believe the way you believe. That’s why America should be America. We all believe differently. Let’s just not force one belief into another; especially force by the government.

MJ Sobran once said, “What the secularists are increasingly demanding…is that religious people, when they act politically, act only on secularist grounds. They are trying to equate acting on religion with establishing religion. And—I repeat—the consequence of such logic is really to establish secularism. It is in fact, to force the religious to internalize the major premise of secularism: that religion has no proper bearing on public affairs.”

I hope these cops around the country who are being forced to put this on their car will, with love, fight back. I hope the people of Pittsburg stand up, with love, and speak. As a people, are we going to let sexualism become the new forced state religion? We shall see.

 

Thoughts on some Government –

One main branch and duty of our government is to try and make sure criminals get “justice” for unfairly taking advantage of We The People. We spend billions for that system to serve the people properly. That system sometimes takes really “bad guys” off the street. I’ve seen it happen. It sometimes works, and many times it doesn’t. That system tries keep us safe and free from liars, thief’s, and perpetrators who wish to take advantage of us as a whole.

In theory, I understand why the purpose was initially intended to help us all. We want to be safe, and we want to be free. We don’t want to be victimized.

But what happens when the system itself attracts “representatives” and agents who start to lie, steal, and cheat The People for their personal gain?

What happens when these very powerful branches, systems, and representatives themselves take more advantage of the people than any random “bad guy” could ever dream of?

What do we do at that point as a people?

 

Things like this make me a little emotional because of how much I miss my old life, but when see that my law enforcement career wasn’t entirely in vain, it makes it all worth it knowing we are headed in the right direction to repair the police and the public’s relationship.

“When constituent Eric Moutsos, fmr police officer, brought the issue of police quotas to me, I had no idea how serious the problem was. He was denied opportunities in the force when he refused to go out and charge/cite/arrest a few more people before he could clock out. We all seem to be annoyed by the thought of speeding ticket quotas, but imagine criminal quotas. In the course of this bill dozens of police officers shared their stories of quotas and how they felt pressure to go out and find more people to cite and arrest if they wanted promotions. They felt this was antithetical to community policing and had the potential to result in violations of citizen rights. It simply didn’t reflect the kind of police officers they wanted to be.

With Senator Howard Stephenson as the primary sponsor, we were able to work with law enforcement administrators to find a compromise that would protect citizens while allowing some measuring of policing activity.

While all of the legislation I’ve worked on impacts the citizens of my district, I love when I get to work on a bill that comes directly from a constituent and benefits so many others.”

Thank you Libertas Institute, Kim Fitzpatrick Coleman and Howard Stephenson for listening and taking action in a law that desperately needed to be passed in the state of Utah.
