> Do you believe in the rule of law?

Do Americans? Really? You’re used to agreeing among yourselves, and they are in the majority. A landslide majority.

You are not the America you think you are.

*I* believe in the rule of law, but I don't think it's actively being enforced in the country that I love. I won't pretend that America has ever been the place that we pretend to be, but there have always been people who believe in its promise. We will never achieve our potential with fatalistic defeatism. We need the common will of the people to push us in the right direction, and that doesn't happen if we just run away when things get hard.

Me too!

An incorruptible righteous rule of law!

An “righteous rule of law” is one principled upon truth, and serves to protect the innocent from violation by will or neglect.

And how, does Man maintain an “inccoruptible” righteous rule of law? When their lives are staked upon the truth of their word before a righteous rule. That’s what the stack of bibles are for after all.

The user you're replying to seems to be a legit unwell person who is having an episode. Probably don't need to spend much time reasoning with them.
