We the people of the United States are ultimately responsible for what goes on in our own government...?

Question

Isn't it time for us to all become responsible citizens and step up to the plate instead of blaming everyone else?
Or, do you prefer to leave it to others?

Answer 1

Of course you are right BUT...
Most people aren't really individuals or not as much as they consider themselves to be Most people don't think for themselves.Most people don't have an own opinion.Most people think they have both but they are wrong.They believe what others told them.
In that light it makes sense that people don't question as much as they should or connect the dots.People tend to be conformists cos in History and evolution that was an advantage.It's in our genes.There are plenty of psychological tests that suggest people have the hardest time to think for themselves and trust their own judgment against a majority or a perceived majority of those who think different.If you have a group for example of ten people,nine researchers and one real test subject.You show them a green card but all the researchers who are in the experiment say the card is red it will become very hard and for most people even impossible to say the card is green while they saw it with their own eyes.Human genetics favor conformity cos that was necessary and beneficial in evolution

Answer 2

The ONLY power that we as Americans have over our own government comes every 2 years in early November (4 years for the presidency, 4 years for Congress, Senate, local governments, etc etc). What people need to remember is that the United States is NOT a democracy. We are a represented republic. Unfortunately the pickings are slim, as we have become a two party system who's differences are becoming harder and harder to distinguish. People can complain all they want, but only when the American people are truly ready will they vote out both republicans AND democrats. Unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon, and I don't see either party giving up without a fight.

I don't know, elections are rigged, and we have no control over the military or police powers to force the government officials to obey the constitution, so what else are you gonna do? If the judicial, executive and representatives aren't obeying or enforcing the laws then what is left?

When the religious entities are not telling the governments who attend their services they are wrong in what they are doing but actually are santioning their disobedience by saying it is God's will then what do you do? revolt? I think not.

What we need is true divine intervention. YOu do not try to put new wine in old skin bottles, old skin bottles is man rule, and man's way of solving problems, new wine is God's will and his way of solving problems. Why do you suppose millions pray "let your kingdom come,your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"? I can't imagine they are having these same problems in heaven do you? how many parties do they have up there, or rulerships, or whatever? Do you suppose they have a consititution up there or even wars? Do the angels vote?jDo the angels take it upon themselves to decide how to solve problems here on earth? after all they are more qualified then we are. smarter, wiser, stronger etc.

We pray for these conditions to exist here and since man has shown through thousands of years of history he can't do it then there you have it.
