Speaker 1 (00:02):
When faith hijacks politics, are we losing the republic we
were meant to be? Faith should guide the heart, not
the ballot box. It's a bold reflection on the growing
divide between religious conviction and constitutional responsibility in American politics.
It reminds readers that the true strength of the United
(00:26):
States lies in the balance faith in God, faith in liberty,
and faith in one another. And when any of these
are lost, are republic falters. This commentary challenges conservatives to
lead with compassion, accountability, and constitutional integrity rather than moral superiority.
(00:48):
Are political zelotry. I'm calling for a return to principle
over passion, where freedom is preserved not by preaching righteousness,
but by practice restraint. At its core, the article and
the commentary is a warning and a pleat. If America
(01:09):
forgets how to balance its moral compass with its founding principles,
it will not be socialism that destroys the nation. It
will be our own hypocrisy. Remember, we fight for what's
right because it's time to go right. Welcome to hashtag
go right with Peter Boykin. I am Peter Boykin, and
(01:31):
let's go over the commentary. Can faith save America if
it divides us first. This is a hashtag go right
with Peter Boykin commentary. Faith is supposed to unite people,
but lately it is being weaponized to divide us, even
within our own movement. As a constitutionalist for liberty, I
believe that religion should inspire personal conviction, not political submission.
(01:56):
I will never attack anyone for being faithful. I have
my own beliefs, and I respect those who live by theirs.
But when faith becomes a litmus test for leadership are
when the pulpit replaces the platform of the people, we
stop being a constitutional republic and start drifting towards a theocracy.
The founders saw this danger long before we did. They
(02:18):
lived it. They watched as kings and clergy decided who
could speak, worship, or even think freely. That is why
the very first freedom they guaranteed was the right to
practice any faith are none at all. They built a
system where government could never choose sides in spiritual matters
(02:39):
because they knew what happened when it did. Yet here
we are watching factions of the right repeat the very
errors our ancestors fled from. Every time a politician runs
more on religion than on results, we lose voters who
might agree with us on taxes, freedom, and family, but
(02:59):
cannot stomach being told they are unworthy because they do
not share the same church. Every time we can make
faith a weapon instead of a goide, we push America
further community and closer to collapse. The problem is not
religion itself. The problem is when religion forgets humility and
(03:20):
becomes a brand, when God is used as a campaign slogan,
and that is not serving him, that is serving self interest.
Our leaders are elected to represent the people, all the people,
not just the ones who sit in the same queue.
A republic must function on reason, law, and shared responsibility,
(03:43):
not defined decree. If you're faith God, your conscience, that
is a beautiful thing. But the oath is to the Constitution,
not to a denomination. That is the covenant that keeps
this country free. The right argues over who is holier.
The left is organized, recruiting and expanding their control in education, media,
(04:07):
and local government. Conservatives can keep fighting amongst themselves about
who praise the right way while the opposition builds the
next generation of voters. The left uses moral language to
push Marxist policies, and the right often responds by preaching
instead of persuasion. Never approach feeds the hungary, secures the
(04:31):
border our lower's rent. This is where compassion must return
to conservatism. If we truly believe in the principles of liberty,
we must remember that liberty without empathy is just power
dressed up and patriotism. We can fight socialism without losing
our humanity. We can protect the family without condemning the neighbor,
(04:53):
and we can preach hard work without mocking the poor.
The welfare debates, the shutdowns, and the broken safety nets
all show how to detach Washington has become from everyday citizens.
Some need a hand up, not a handout, and we
should be proud to get it. But when the moral
tone becomes cruel, when the message becomes quote pray harder
(05:15):
and maybe you will eat, we lose the very soul
we claim to defend. So yes, ask yourself these two
questions that should guide every conservative leader. One is it
constitutional too? What would Jesus do? The first keeps you
honest to the republic, and the second keeps you humble
before God. Ignore either and you lose both country and faith.
(05:41):
We do not need more lawmakers acting like pastors or
pastors acting like presidents. We need leaders who know that
power belongs to the people, and that the constitution, not
a creed, is our highest law. If we cannot unite
under liberty, then no sermon save us. It is time
(06:02):
to return to what made this country strong. A moral
people governed by secular constitution, the secular constitution, each respecting
the other's freedom. Because when faith and freedom walks side
by side, America crimes. When one tries to dominate the other,
America fails. The future of its nation will not be
(06:26):
decided by how loudly we prayed, but by how fiercely
reprotect each other's right to do so. It is time
to lead with both faith and reason. It is time
to remember who we are.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
This isn't ambou Fi huggains freedom. It's about remembering that
both lose when one tries to rule the other. They
are republic, not a theocracy. That's what keeps America free.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
They can't do this land to worship, not to fled
from kings who crowned the church as law.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Now we fight the same old battle in news shoes,
trading poor pins for podiums.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Forgetting what they saw they.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Gave us conscious the lock us, but now the line
spain in the name of Bley.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
The founders built a wall.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
Not to shut God out, but the keys the power.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
For from deciding who can speak again?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
They ain't the freedom.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Who guys a nation?
Speaker 6 (08:22):
One likes the soul the other God's creation.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
You can pay Gord, you can vote with your hand,
but when baby.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Comes all we lose this man.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
They should guide the hard not the valley box. So
your neighborhood the truth to fill the rocks.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
Since the Constitution not agree that NASA.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Free, that's the promise of this republic.
Speaker 10 (08:52):
Liberty policies screech from the House for turning sermons into
slogans for a cultural war while families break in shells
running bare.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
They quote the Bible instead of showing care. You can't
legislate heaven.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You can't have a loss, and the fight for freedom
starts deep within.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
If compassion's missing from your creed and pride the only
thing you'll lead.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
I am not against your faith, I am against using
it as a weapon. A representative serves all people, not
just those.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Who share their pew.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
You take an oath to the Constitution, not the Catechism.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The job is to legislate law, not preach salvation.
Speaker 10 (09:45):
Faith belongs in your heart, freedom belongs in our government.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
When both stay in their place, both stay strong.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Faith a freedom, Who got the nation?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
What that soul?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
The other God's cree.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
You can pray in your home, you can stand for
your call, But freedom means there's room for soul. They
should gather hard, not the ballot box.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Justice for all.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
That's how liberty talks.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
It's the constitution, not agree, that makes as free.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
That's the promise of this republic. Liberty. So ask yourself
to questions and me and them deep.
Speaker 12 (10:37):
Inside is a constitutional.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
What would Jesus to side?
Speaker 12 (10:46):
If either rans or fails to show compassion and grace,
the faith has lost its power and freedom's lost its plan.
Because Wednesday ethan free and walk side by side.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
America stands tall with hope and prime. But when one.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Tries to rule the other soul.
Speaker 12 (11:18):
The republic breaks and freedom pays the tall.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Say, who guys a nation?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Soul the other God's creation?
Speaker 7 (11:40):
You can bring in your home you'll get stand for
your call.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But freedom means it's rule for soul.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Faith good guys are hard, not the ballad box justice
for all.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
That's a liberty talk.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
It is a constitution, not a.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Creed, that makes us free.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
That's the promise of this republic.
Speaker 13 (12:03):
Liberty, a republic, not a theocracy.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
The United States was never founded to be a religious state.
It was founded by people escaping on the Pilgrims, the Quakers,
the Catholics. They came to a land where belief could
be chosen, not enforced. That conviction became sacred and ink
sealed in the First Amendment, Freedom of Religion and Freedom
(12:54):
from Religion. Jefferson warned of a wall between church and state,
not to erase God, but to stop government from pretending
to be him. Faith gives us morality, The constitution gives
us balance.
Speaker 13 (13:11):
Forget one and the other collapses.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Faith is beautiful when it guides the heart, but it
turns ugly when it grabs the microphone. It's not the
prayer before dinner that divides us as the pulpit disguised
as policy. Too many leaders confuse serving the people would
serve in a church. That's not representation, it's conversion by law.
A true servant of faith leads by example, not enforcement. Integrity, compassion, humility.
(13:41):
Those are the sermons that change lives, not the ones
written into law books. The founders protected the believer and
the skeptic alike. They built a system where many faiths
could flourish under one rule of law, not one interpretation
of scripture. When politics turns into theology, the nation loses focus.
We argue about who's righteous while the grocery build climbs.
(14:04):
We debate purity while the power build doubles. It's not
holiness that suffers, it's the people. We forget that poverty
is in sin, it's struggle that single parents aren't broken,
they're surviving. Republicans once believed in hand ups, not handouts,
But what good is a hand up without empathy. America's
strength was never cruelty disguised as discipline. It was community,
(14:25):
responsibility and heart. When the government fails, the people fail,
and when people fail, faith should lift them, not condemn them.
When faith in politics collide, can the right find its
moral comforts without losing its constitutional soul? Because America is
a constitutional republic, not a church, and that's what makes
(14:46):
it sacred. Faith isn't the problem. Pride is faith lived
humbly can heal, Faith willed and politically can burn. Our
founders fled kings who rule by divine right. They build
a system where no man could play god with your
actions that Walt Jefferson built. It's cracking from both sides.
On the left, identity becomes creed. On the right, scripture
(15:07):
becomes legislation, and somewhere in between, the Republic trembles. It's
one thing to be guided by faith, it's another to
govern by it. A representative serves the people, not the pews.
If you want to legislate morality, start with your own.
Ask two questions. Is it constitutional? And if you claim faith,
(15:27):
what would Jesus do? If the first answer is no,
the second doesn't matter. And if the second isn't compassionate,
it is in faith. It's pride disguised as virtue. The
Keop needs to refocus Democrats, who night around emotion. Republicans
divide over purity. We're arguing over religion while families argue
over bills, and that's how the Republic slips away. Trump
(15:48):
brought back strength, He rebuilt, trade, defended, board.
Speaker 13 (15:51):
Is sought and peace.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
But the people need more than headlines. They need hope
at the dinner table. Liberty without empathy is just control
with better branding. The found didn't build this republic to
protect one faith. They built it to protect freedom itself.
We can honor God without making government god. We can
live by our beliefs without forcing them on others. We
can be faithful and still free. The future of the
(16:14):
Republic depends not on louder prayers, but on clearer principles,
not on moral crusades, but on moral clarity, rooted and
with it grounded in compassion, guided by reason. This is
how we saved the republic we were meant to be.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You're told, welcome back to hashtag go Right with Peter Boykin,
(17:17):
the place where truth meets freedom and where we remind
America what the constitution really means. Today's message is simple,
and it's powerful faith and freedom because the same constitution
that protects your right to worship also protects my right
(17:40):
to marry. Across the nation. Some are saying, once again,
quote marriage is between one man and one woman. Any
attempt to redefine marriage damages our social fabric, and the
Supreme Court will fix this mistake. But let's be honest,
(18:02):
that's not patriotism. That's regression, and it's not about preserving faith.
It's about controlling freedom. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion,
but it also guarantees freedom from religion, meaning no church,
(18:23):
no doctrine, no preacher, defines the law for everyone else.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We live in a.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Constitutional republic, not a theocracy, and that's exactly why we
must stand up now. Remember we fight for what's right,
because it's time to go right. When I wrote the
song faith and Freedom, our rights won't be held back,
I wanted to remind people that liberty doesn't belong to
(18:53):
one party or one pulpit.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Faith a light, not a chain on the.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Don't burn our rights for your theology.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
See, faith is supposed to lift the human spirit, not
bind it. If your belief in God drives you to
limit someone else's rights, you're not defending your faith, you're
violating someone else's freedom. Now, let's turn this into a
teaching moment, especially for those exercising what they call freedom
(19:29):
of religion. That same First Amendment that protects your church,
your Bible, your mosque, your synagogue, also protects the rights
of same sex couples to live and love without your permission.
Augerfeil versus Hodges. The twenty fifteen Supreme Court ruling didn't
(19:50):
erase religion. It reaffirmed equality under the law, and equality
is not something you vote on, it's something you defend
because that's what keeps America free.
Speaker 11 (20:06):
They're bringing out our nation's names. If God made us all,
who are they blame? We're freedom loone not play their games.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
This isn't left or right. This isn't democrat or republican.
This is constitutional. Republicans and Democrats both have people of
faith who think gay Americans don't deserve equal rights. But
that's not conservatism or progressiveism. That's hypocrisy because freedom doesn't
(20:46):
change based on who's in office. Are who you love.
If it's truly about liberty, it has to apply to everyone. Now.
I know some of the LGBTQ unity are worried, rightfully,
so they see the headlines, the bills, the talking points
(21:07):
that use quote faith as a shield the strip away rights.
But let's be clear, this is not the fault of
the TQ insanity as the Internet calls it. That's a scapegoat,
not a reason.
Speaker 12 (21:23):
But I still wait for those days all back.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
We stand for, don't trust, don't cry.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I create a gaze for Trump because I believe conservatives
could stand for freedom and inclusion without losing their moral compass,
and many of us still do. But the truth is,
no matter how much you try to fit in, when
people hate you, they don't care how polite our patriotic
(21:54):
you are. That's why we must keep speaking out. Too
many today confuse faith with authority. They claim to defend freedom,
yet they want laws that make others live by their
own beliefs. If the Constitution means anything, it means this.
(22:15):
Your freedom ends where mind begins.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
If it becomes a swordililities quite dead, that's not anti Christian,
that's pro constitution.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
And if you truly believe in God given rights, then
remember God gave them to everyone. We must teach this
generation and the next that freedom of religion doesn't mean
the right to impose religion. It means the right to
live authentically under a government that treats everyone equally, regardless
(22:52):
of faith, color, or who they love. This is how
we preserve America, not by building walls of doctrine, but
by protecting the liberty that built the nation in the
first place.
Speaker 12 (23:07):
As stay bloom, freedom for me and it's for you.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
This is faith and freedom, not a slogan, but a
warning because when faith turns into law, freedom turns into history.
I'm Peter Boykin, and this has been hashtag go right
with Peter Boykin. If you believe in real freedom for everyone,
visit gortnews dot com and read the full article where
(23:38):
I talk about this. Listen to the music I create,
and join the movement for Constitutional Liberty because in the end,
faith and freedom must walk together, or will lose them both.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
See the storm roll.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
In the flag, still fly Faith then freedom side by side.
The steak still boils, the people rise, don't tread along.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Don't kill words right, don't kill what's right. I see
(24:59):
the course to day.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
They want to take it back, turn love to law
and twist the flag of red, white, blue and black.
They preach their freedom loud, be seeing the truth instead.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
If it becomes a.
Speaker 11 (25:12):
Sword, then liberty is quite dead.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
No faith attack. I want my rights in tack, no
turning back.
Speaker 12 (25:20):
We all faiths are black, our black still wait for those.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Day all back we stand for all.
Speaker 14 (25:28):
Don't tread, don't crack. They claim their sacred vows to
find who we can be.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
But freedom's written clear in our constitutional democracy.
Speaker 11 (25:46):
You can't make loss from bullfits.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Truth in one belief We're born.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
With equal rights, not moral Greek, all.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Religious, free, but not to rule the rest. The founders
own us. What comes next.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Faith's a light, not a chain on the free. Don't
burn our rights for your theology.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
No faith bad.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I want my rights in time, No turning back. We
won't face the black.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Our loves, how flag, our truth, the fact we fight
for all the rides stand back.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
Hill the bills from liberty's flame. They're ringing out our
nation's name. If God made us all, who are they
to blame. We're free to love, not play their game.
No faith to ta.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I want my rights in chest, No turning back. We
will face a black.
Speaker 12 (27:01):
Say red sky stayed blue. Freedom's for me and it's
for you.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I see the storm roll in. The flags still fly
faith and freedom side by side.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
The snake still boils, the people rise, don't tread on low.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Don't kill what's right. Don't kill what's right.
