UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES Donald R. Fox

I would suggest that most Americans do not remember the time when our government actually investigated anti-American activities. Presently, we live in the time of political correctness, appeasement and broad-mindedness. This type of political correctness is currently the accepted way to govern. What a change in a relatively short time! I, for one, believe that our basic American way of life is in serious endangerment. The push to “fundamentally transform” America and the doctrine of redistribution of wealth is clearly a drive toward socialism.

The House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) (1938-1975) was formed to protect us from any attack on our form of government guaranteed by our Constitution. They investigated real and suspected communists. They looked into threats of subversion or propaganda that attacked our way of life, the American way. To summarize, they were the watch-dogs to keep America the way our founders envisioned it. In 1975 the House of Representatives abolished the committee. The functions were transferred to the House Judiciary Committee. I don’t believe the House Judiciary Committee is doing their job, do you?

Many of us from an older generation stay in a state of deep frustration. We ask,”What in the world is going on?” We all understand our right of freedom of speech. With that noted, I exercise my freedom of speech and ask, “Why does the movement of ‘fundamentally transform’ our national heritage, go unchecked?” Our Constitution is under attack from even people in high leadership places. Making light and the mocking of our Constitution have become normal. Is this not an un-American activity?

CONCERNING OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOVERNMENT: CHRISTIANS ARE GUIDED BY THE WORD OF GOD.

“Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God. Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing. Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.” (Romans 13:1-7 ASV) GOVERNMENT AS DEFINED IN ROMANS 13:1-7

“The truth of the matter is God has never ordained any particular civil government in toto, as a corporate body, but the institution of civil government as defined in Romans 13:1-7. He ordains civil government, just as he ordains marriage, but not everything men and women do in the name of marriage. Men can and do use the marriage institution as a vehicle of adultery, just as wicked men can and do get control of a given government and use the institution as a means of oppression and murderous brutality. But this abuse of the function of the institution does not invalidate the institution. It only invalidates the unit which thus operates.” (Reference pages 93-94, The Christian and the Government by Foy E. Wallace, Jr.)
