This is moral nonsense.
You acknowledge we can deport illegals, but simultaneously refer to a sense of “injustice” provoked by seeing an “immigrant in chains.”
You have no moral compass. Everything is driven by your feelings. This is a picture of disordered empathy.
This is an interesting conversation. I don't think the average American thinks like this, but a holistic anthropology requires that the way you think be included in whether or not you’re suitable for a position. The way you think will affect the product you put out and the efficiency with which that product is produced. Furthermore, it will affect the ethical and moral implications of that product. Thus, as I understand merit, I would include the way one thinks in their ability to merit certain positions.
Meritocracy is only an issue if you measure merit in material terms alone. Your argument is a good warning if this is the only metric.
if at any time the civil power should think it proper to appoint a fast or thanksgiving, it is the duty of the Ministers and people of our communion, as we live under a Christian government, to pay all due respect to the same

Part of the reason they didn’t want to make it explicit is that they didn’t think they’d need to. This isn’t speculation. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story says so: https://t.co/mf7tvuIYNq
America is for Americans 🇺🇸
What does this mean? It means that:
American elections are for Americans
American jobs are for Americans
American capital is for Americans
American housing is for Americans
American education is for Americans
American taxpayer benefits are for Americans
The future of America is for Americans
It’s that simple
As a cop and a Christian, this case shook me at the time. For the first time in my life, I felt alone.
My brothers in blue were divided on the outcome and officers I had previously worked well with believed I was part of the problem.
Additionally, Christians everywhere came to their own opinions, most of which I disagreed with.
Men I had looked to for guidance bought the narrative and spoke incorrectly on matters.
Fortunately, this led me to @FoundersMin and @tomascol ministry and confirmed that my analysis of the world was not incorrect. I am grateful for this ministry.
Now that the information has come out I hope clarity and repentance will follow from those who got it wrong.
Tuo Thao - devout Christian, loving husband and father, dedicated public servant - was sent to jail to placate a woke mob.
His crime? Refusing to wrongly testify against Derek Chauvin.
Thao’s imprisonment made a mockery of the rule of law, as does Chauvin’s ongoing imprisonment.
I wholeheartedly agree with @albertmohler in @AmReformer.
The church must speak to men as men. It must show them how to channel their vitality for God's glory and the renewal of our nation.
This has to be said. If you are a Christian leader who has voiced concerns about the trajectory of young men but are not also speaking about the false and destructive ideologies being embraced by young women, you're neither trustworthy nor discerning.
There was a time when our nation’s public schools were explicitly Christian.
Same Country.
Same Constitution.
Same Christ.
That Christian educational foundation built America into something great.
The relatively recent secularized education experiment is a failure, but it doesn’t have to stay this way.
“The devil, since he is a murderer and opposed to good political order and discipline, often stirs up great wars on the most flimsy pretexts, with the minds of men on both sides enflamed by sinful desires.”
-Philip Melanchthon (1543)
I denied this claim in Case for Christian Nationalism (2022) and in Reformed Christian Politic (2026) and in nearly every article on CN in between.
It astounds me that in our Reformed world we can’t have an honest and constructive conversation.
