But let us remember, at the same time, government is sacred, and not to be trifled with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have to have the faithful in government.
There is too much government today. We've got to remember the government should be by the people, of the people, and for the people.
And that's really what's happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government.
One must always keep one's government under control.
Government is a true religion: it has its dogmas, its mysteries, its priests. To submit it to the individual discussion is to destroy it; it is given life only through the national mind, that is to say, by political faith, which is a creed.
The constitution is a sacred document in a democracy.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.
It is not the Government, the members of Parliament to whom the ultimate decision belongs, it is up to you to go forward sure of your sacred right of free opinion, sure of your patriotism.
Politics itself is not sacred any more.
