May 21, 2017: http://lukeford.net/blog/?p=114513 Like ancient Israel, modern America needs a king to rule over it. Right now everyone does what is right in their own eyes. Time for Trump to dissolve Congress. I’ve begun to think that there is a straight line between democracy, the U.S. Constitution and same-sex marriage and trannies in the bathroom. Ergo, I’m ready to jettison democracy for aristocracy. The alternative to liberalism is fascism. If liberalism means same-sex marriage and trannies in the bathroom, then give me fascism (preferably without the genocide).
* Judaism is the opposite of, “Every man does what he thinks is right in his own eyes.” For example, according to Num. 3:10, “any outsider who encroaches [on the altar and behind it] shall be put to death.” Imagine how effective this would be for a nation’s immigration policy.
Artscroll: “This does not mean that no Israelite is ever allowed to approach the Tabernacle; it prohibits only entry without a permitted purpose.”
* “A royal palace that is not safeguarded is unlike one that is safeguarded.” (Sifre Zuta, Korach 8:14)
* God commands Moses and Aaron “to take a tribe-by-tribe census of all males above the age of twenty.” What about the women? Don’t they count? Well, when it comes to the military and politics and public policy, no they don’t. We see from the story of Eve that when you give women any say in public policy, it ends in disaster. With the exception of Zelophad’s daughters, only men are apportioned land in Israel.
