The playbook will go something like this: 1) win back the House and Senate, and hopefully the Presidency in 2028; (2) admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, which doesn’t need a constitutional amendment, to gain 4 new Senate seats and cement control; (3) pack the Court, which only requires a change to the Judiciary Act of 1869, not a constitutional amendment; (4) eliminate the electoral college, which is unconstitutional, but not when you have a rigged court that finds the ‘loophole’; (5) flood the country with pliant migrants, swamp the natives, and hold power indefinitely.

Moore has backed virtually every major American military intervention in recent history, but is compelled by an evolving “pro-life ethic” to denounce the death penalty in cases where a defendant is tried, convicted, and has every opportunity to appeal.

Hazony doesn't make this distinction because he's Jewish. But, more fundamentally, I think he's correct that *political* nations form organically when they are taught to see other clans as family, which is what God does in the OT.
But this is exactly what the NT does too! This isn't a problem for Hazony, because he doesn't accept the NT. But it's a problem for Christian Nationalists who want to accept his reasoning.
If you knew the variety of people who have attended Thiel lectures, I don’t think you’d condemn attendance.

The Westminster Confession of Faith taught the CoW was given "voluntarily." That is the definition of "positive law."
In contrast, we "owe obedience unto him" as Creator regardless. Natural law is built into nature, part of man's knowledge, even when suppressed (Rom. 1).
I could be wrong but it seems that the kuyperians and modern 2ks agree that the covenant of works is inherent in or constitutive of nature/creation. So, CoW is essential to natural law. Their disputes are centered on its political implications.
But it seems that classically CoW was understood at connatural or logically instituted subsequent to natural law (by order of decree). Natural law is necessary for CoW but CoW is not necessary to natural law.
My political thought assumes the latter formulation.
Whenever I have a question about theology, most of my reliable sources today are about 20 years younger than me. I admire these guys. Amazing things happening.

Journalism attracts the dumbest people—the sort of people who can’t produce an idea and defend it but can half-understand another’s idea, “expose” it, and create sensation. They are idea-managers for the powerful in mass democracy. “Speaking truth to power” is a lie.
The role of the journalist is to manage and apply public standards of legitimacy to ideas and individuals. It isn’t “truth telling”; it is managing “truth” on behalf of the powerful.
You can’t affirm “spirituality of the church” and then encourage men to get their political philosophy or ideas about natural things from the church.
It necessarily means that people have to seek out voices outside the instituted church and ministry.
You can’t have it both ways.
