ALONE WITH A DICTATOR

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be in a room alone with a dictator?

First, would you recognize and believe that he is a dictator?

Then would you wonder why you are having the meeting?

What can you say, or do?

What should you say, or do?

Are you safe (not that you can do anything about that)?

What is your responsibility to others under his dictatorship?

Do they know you’re having the meeting?

What personal sacrifice should you make for them?

What are your options?

Should you confront him (about his evil ways), when nobody else will?

Should you negotiate with him (compromise), knowing it does no good?

Should you shake his hand?

Should you shake him up?

What should you share about your meeting?

Will you have freedom to share after your meeting?

Who do you answer to about the meeting?

Where is your conscience?

What are your convictions?

 

Review these questions in light of the following meetings with dictators:

+++John the Baptist and Herod

+++Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s friends and Hitler

+++John Boehner and BHOB*

SCARY THOUGHT

What really happened when John Boehner met alone with dictator BHOB*?

Speculation.

One thing we know for sure is that we don’t know .

There is room to make some logical guesses or assumptions.

If the Speaker had the courage to confront the dictator about his evil ways, then he should have the courage to tell us.

We can assume that did not take place.

If the Speaker tried to reason with the dictator about economics, what could he possibly say that has not already been said in public, and what progress could possibly be made that has not already failed.

One thing we know about the dictator is that he will not change.

One thing we know about the Speaker is that he is subject to compromise—universally equated with weakness and surrender by dictators and terrorists.

We may never know what the Speaker and the dictator agreed on.

The scary thought—unthinkable yet feasible—is an undeclared agreement that the two would continue their talking points to save face, while letting the dictator have his way.

FACT:  Dictators always have their way.

UNLESS . . .

Dictators always have their way, unless they are stopped by force.

Since the election did not stop this dictator, he will continue flexing his flexibility until someone stops him by force, or until he stops all of us by force.

The sooner that everyone reading, realizes this and tells others, and stops playing the talking games, the greater our chances of stopping dictator BHOB*

GUN CONTROL KILLS

FACT:  All but one of the mass shootings (where three or more people died) since 1950 occurred in places where handguns were banned.

FACT:  Dictators rise to power where guns are banned.

FACT:  Criminals prosper where guns are banned.

FACT:  Families are safer with guns in the home.

FACT:  The second strongest believers in the second amendment own a gun.

FACT:  The strongest believers in the second amendment own more than one gun.

FACT:  Governments that take guns away from their people, kill their people.

FACT:  You cannot trust any government with your self-defense.
