On this Good Friday, I pray all here remember the reason for the season. This weekend isn't about peeps and eggs, it's about death - and then a glorious resurrection.

One of my favorite online Bible sites is Bible Gateway. Sharing this week's newsletter link with any who care to read it.
https://link.biblegateway.com/view/65a057bc662a7a41db041fcckqtfh.sgh1/a0db9884

The newsletter is free to read and the site is free for any to use. It has been in operation for as long as I've been using the Internet and probably way before. They have Bible translations freely available to all in almost every language in the world.

I hope no one minds that I'm posting this on the main section - It just seems given the day (Good Friday), the topic (a Bible), and the number of people following it, this is where the greatest number will see it and maybe check out the site too, if they've never seen it.

Again - it's FREE. It even has all sorts of reading plans available should anyone who has never read all the way through the Bible decide this is the year to do it!

May God be with all here on OPP today and every day.

If I was to rewrite the Bill of Rights. I would delete the second amendment. We really don't need all these nut jobs having unfettered access to guns.


We really don’t need idiots who want to delete the 2nd Amendment.

We sure know it doesn’t matter to the Biden cult. You know nothing about evangelicals or the Bible. Ever heard of King David? God allows and uses very imperfect people all the time. If you had to pass a morality test to get in D.C. it would be virtually empty.

From the article:

He told an Iowa evangelical gathering he had never asked God for forgiveness — a central tenet of the Christian faith — and he repeated that again on CNN. He's declined to cite his favorite Bible verse or even his favorite testament. And the Presbyterian church he says he attends in Manhattan has said he's not an active member.

Those discrepancies haven't mattered yet to many evangelicals.


Will they ever?

Biden didn't start any war. Manini weenie's point was that he had.


No Biden just gets Americans killed. He’s too much of a pussy to defend actual Americans. He allows the invasion of our country. You Biden cult members must have your head up your butt.

Somebody should ask him again what his favorite verses are.

It would be fun to hear him answer again (hint: that he doesn't know any).


Ask Biden. He’ll probably quote something from gender Queer.

Biden’s the greatest salesman of all time. He sold the American people out and he sold his sole to Satan

Neither Obama or Biden give a damn about a fallen policeman. Especially if he’s white.

Just 5bminutes and than go to his fundraiser....The problem is he doesn't care about police officers..

On the other hand former President Trump is attending the wake to pay respect to the yet another fallen hero..and his family... Question: Which optics look better??

I know you libs will accuse President Trump of political stunt... Just photo-op... But what if things were turned around.. What if Biden went to pay respect to fallen officer (🤣🤣🤣) and Trump had fundraiser with rich celebrities?? How would you react than?? How would optics look than??

James Madison, Property

29 Mar. 1792 Papers 14:266--68

This term in its particular application means "that dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, in exclusion of every other individual."

In its larger and juster meaning, it embraces every thing to which a man may attach a value and have a right; and which leaves to every one else the like advantage.

In the former sense, a man's land, or merchandize, or money is called his property.

In the latter sense, a man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.

He has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them.

He has a property very dear to him in the safety and liberty of his person.

He has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them.

In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.

Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.

Where there is an excess of liberty, the effect is the same, tho' from an opposite cause.

Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.

According to this standard of merit, the praise of affording a just securing to property, should be sparingly bestowed on a government which, however scrupulously guarding the possessions of individuals, does not protect them in the enjoyment and communication of their opinions, in which they have an equal, and in the estimation of some, a more valuable property.

More sparingly should this praise be allowed to a government, where a man's religious rights are violated by penalties, or fettered by tests, or taxed by a hierarchy. Conscience is the most sacred of all property; other property depending in part on positive law, the exercise of that, being a natural and unalienable right. To guard a man's house as his castle, to pay public and enforce private debts with the most exact faith, can give no title to invade a man's conscience which is more sacred than his castle, or to withhold from it that debt of protection, for which the public faith is pledged, by the very nature and original conditions of the social pact.

That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest. A magistrate issuing his warrants to a press gang, would be in his proper functions in Turkey or Indostan, under appellations proverbial of the most compleat despotism.

That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where arbitrary restrictions, exemptions, and monopolies deny to part of its citizens that free use of their faculties, and free choice of their occupations, which not only constitute their property in the general sense of the word; but are the means of acquiring property strictly so called. What must be the spirit of legislation where a manufacturer of linen cloth is forbidden to bury his own child in a linen shroud, in order to favour his neighbour who manufactures woolen cloth; where the manufacturer and wearer of woolen cloth are again forbidden the oeconomical use of buttons of that material, in favor of the manufacturer of buttons of other materials!

A just security to property is not afforded by that government, under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species: where arbitrary taxes invade the domestic sanctuaries of the rich, and excessive taxes grind the faces of the poor; where the keenness and competitions of want are deemed an insufficient spur to labor, and taxes are again applied, by an unfeeling policy, as another spur; in violation of that sacred property, which Heaven, in decreeing man to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, kindly reserved to him, in the small repose that could be spared from the supply of his necessities.

If there be a government then which prides itself in maintaining the inviolability of property; which provides that none shall be taken directly even for public use without indemnification to the owner, and yet directly violates the property which individuals have in their opinions, their religion, their persons, and their faculties; nay more, which indirectly violates their property, in their actual possessions, in the labor that acquires their daily subsistence, and in the hallowed remnant of time which ought to relieve their fatigues and soothe their cares, the influence [inference?] will have been anticipated, that such a government is not a pattern for the United States.

If the United States mean to obtain or deserve the full praise due to wise and just governments, they will equally respect the rights of property, and the property in rights: they will rival the government that most sacredly guards the former; and by repelling its example in violating the latter, will make themselves a pattern to that and all other governments.
