Jan 6 and The Declaration

https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/15j9i61/john_eastman_comes_clean_hell_yes_we_were_trying/

"Our Founders lay this case out,” says Eastman. “There’s actually a provision in the Declaration of Independence that a people will suffer abuses while they remain sufferable, tolerable while they remain tolerable. At some point, abuses become so intolerable that it becomes not only their right but their duty to alter or abolish the existing government.”

Perhaps, Mr. Eastman, but you're missing a critical piece. You have to win.

You can't just do it for a few hours then decide it's hard and go home. That is not "altering or abolishing." Doing it for one afternoon, then going home because it's hard, is "suffering abuses while they remain sufferable."

Because you're not oppressed by Biden and the majority of you know it, deep down. When they actually stopped and thought, "Would it be easier to really fight for what I believe is right, or to go home and accept this thing I'm angry about? Is this really worth it?", they chose to go home after 6 hours.

Compare that to BLM, which lasted for weeks, through much more violent suppression. That's closer to what "alter or abolish" looks like. Running along with a rioting crowd for one afternoon is not "alter or abolish".

School Food

How is not feeding children at public schools part of the religious party's platform? I'm guessing school lunches are one of the first things missions do when they start building up the infrastructure in a third world village. How can we not have everyone chip in to do it here?

Can you imagine Jesus on a picket line with a megaphone demanding that we stop paying for school lunches?

Talking Head: I'm here talking to folks who have turned out to oppose the city council's vote on paying for school lunches throughout the city's 9 school districts. Mr. Christ is the son of a local carpenter and taxpayer, and is concerned that his dad's money is being poorly allocated. Mr. Christ?

J. Christ: It's not that we couldn't afford this, either personally or as a society. It's that the implementation is problematic. Not all of the children need free food, and we don't want kids just eating for free because they can. We need to show these kids from the beginning that eating is a privilege for those who can afford it. If they can't afford it, we have solutions, but they have to prove they're poor and recognize that it's charity that they haven't earned.
