A really vivid civics lesson

One thing about the so-called “Federal Vision Controversy” in the PCA is that it really gives you insight into the nature of parliamentary democracy, the will to centralism, and the inescapability of oligarchy in every and any supposed type of government.  I recently read Who Killed the Constitution?: The Fate of American Liberty from World War I to George W. Bush and realized I already understood all the dynamics that were at play.  The Federal Vision, and the presbyteries that show they are godly by vindicating the innocent, are the medical marijuana and the socialist Eugene Debs and the steel industry of the denomination caught in the political nightmare–wishing words on paper could protect them from the powers.

Thankful there is no Gitmo.
