The American people continue to look over the dark hearted evil in our nation's capital for threatening international evils in other parts of the world. We mistakingly believe that ISIS poses a far more serious threat to our country and children's future than Washington politicians. The truth, however, is that our country will not be destroyed by Islamic terrorist from without, but is actually being destroyed by Democrats and Republicans from within.
The more dangerous evil is always the one perpetrated incognito. Although Americans clearly see the fiendishness of ISIS, they fail to see the ungodliness of our own government. In fact, most see our government as benevolent and looking out for our welfare rather than wicked and antagonistic toward God.
While our government leaders are good at concealing their nefarious intentions behind a cloak of pretend piety, every now and then they slip up and show their fangs and claws. Here's a good case in point, one that shows our own government to be as antagonistic toward the Christian Faith as ISIS.
Parents homeschooling their children are now being arrested and jailed in Germany, a country where homeschooling has actually been outlawed since 1938, when Adolf Hitler outlawed it in order to force all German children into the public schools where they would be indoctrinated and forced to pledge their allegiance to the Third Reich. A main target of Hitler’s outlawing of homeschooling was the influence of Christian homes and churches on Germany’s children. In fact, Hitler used his Hitler Youth to break up church youth movements, spy on Bible studies, and to discourage church attendance. Although much has changed in Germany since the days of Adolf Hitler, it is still against the law to homeschool your children.
In 2008, the Romeike family fled Germany for the United States after being ordered by the German government to stop homeschooling their children in violation of national law. Ewe and Hannelore Romeike, the Christian parents of six children, were granted asylum by an immigration judge in 2010. The judge, Lawrence Burman, granted asylum to the Romeikes on the basis of his belief that they would face persecution for their faith if returned to Germany. At first glance, one would think that this was a happy ending to the Romeike story, but such was not the case.
The Obama Justice Department, under then Attorney General Eric Holder, appealed Judge Burman's decision and eventually proved successful in having it overturned by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. According to the Obama Justice Department, parents have no fundamental liberty to homeschool and governments have every right to force all children to attend public schools in order to create an "open, pluralistic society." Such an argument from the Obama Administration sounds eerily similar to the 2007 German Supreme Court ruling that mandated German children be sent to the country's public schools. The German high court explained its ruling of mandatory attendance of all children in the public schools as necessary to "counteract the development of religious and philosophically motivated parallel societies."
All of the above leads us to an inevitable, revealing and most frightening conclusion. The Obama Administration, like the German Supreme Court, believes government has the right to indoctrinate children in public schools, especially the children of Christians, who are believed to pose a particular threat to our “open” and “pluralistic society.”
The Romeikes appealed their case to the United States Supreme Court, in hopes that the highest court in our land would see their case differently from the highest court in their homeland. Interestingly, the Obama Administration waived its right to respond, believing the Romeike's case to be too insignificant for the United States Supreme Court to waste its valuable time on. This, however, poses an interesting question. If the Obama Administration believed this case to be so insignificant, then, why did it invest so much time and taxpayer dollars to get this Christian family sent back to Germany? The only possible answer to this question is most disconcerting. The Obama Administration doesn’t care about the persecution of Christians, but only about the indoctrination of their children.
The Supreme Court, as the Obama Justice Department predicted, declined to hear the Romeike’s appeal, paving the way for the Obama Administration to send these homeschoolers packing back to Germany where they would be persecuted for their faith. Surprisingly, the Romeike family was not deported. Instead, they were granted ‘indefinite deferred status,” which means they can stay in the United States permanently, unless they are convicted of a crime. This poses another interesting question. Why, after going to all the trouble and taxpayer expense to get this one Christian family deported, did the Obama Administration back off from deporting them?
As we all know, the Obama Administration refuses, for any reason, to deport millions of illegal immigrants. In addition, it wants to roll out the red carpet for Syrian refugees, despite the fact that the head of our FBI says they cannot be properly vetted. There is no way for us to figure out who they are, where they come from, and why they are coming into our country. Now, if in the midst of all of this, the Obama Administration is seen overturning the court granted legal immigration status of the Romeikes, in order to single out this one Christian family for deportation, on the sole basis of their faith, what does this say about our president and his administration? Does it not clearly reveal to us the one thing President Barack Obama believes must be banished from America?
As our dark hearted politicians are prone to do, the Obama Administration overplayed its hand on the Romeike family. As a result, it got what it asked for, but backed off in the end lest its dark heart be exposed. Its antichrist claws were clearly showing, so it pulled them back in and patted the Romeikes on the back, lest it lay bare its beastly nature for all to see.
