People in America believes there are in the right to do this, but none of these actions are legal, whether they know it or not. It makes it even worse when people knows it is illegal and continues to do so. However, Americans should not tolerate these crimes as it is not in our spirit to tolerate such insolence from Americans and foreigners obstructing the American system.

Dugan was indicted on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstructing the criminal justice proceeding. Dugan has violated these following United States Code:

1. 18 U.S.C. § 1505: Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, or committees of the United States (e.g., corruptly impeding ICE's enforcement operation), a felony with up to 5 years in prison.

2. 18 U.S.C. § 1071: Harboring or concealing a person from arrest (knowingly hiding someone subject to a federal warrant), punishable by up to 1 year (misdemeanor) or 5 years if tied to a felony.

The Federal Government should not tolerate these malefactors from illegal foreigners entering our country and those using activism using their job to affirms certain satisfaction for the cause at the risk of their job. The American people should not tolerate this and must show their heart against these wicked elements.

Illegal foreigners should not even be allowed into the country in the first place as it violates 8 U.S.C. § 1325 - Improper Entry by Alien. Anyone trying to bring them into the country and/or harboring them is also in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324 - Bringing in and Harboring Certain Aliens.

"In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."

— Ephesians 4:26-27

The wrongdoers within all forms of government and outside the government should be afraid of both righteous government and righteous people.

"For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer."

— Romans 13:4

"When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of joy."

— Proverbs 11:10

Our current administration is much more righteous than the previous one, and we should encourage the government to use their sword against all those who violate our laws, instead of demanding perfection which will not happen anytime soon. Our adversaries are still within reins of government and institution. Make use of the administration rather than detach or distance oneself and becoming petty about everything.

Our pilgrim forefathers would see these men distancing themselves from the current affairs of the administration and those who nitpick everything our governing authority says… as lack of spiritual discipline.

Thomas Hooker advocated for humble acceptance of our flawed leaders to maintain stability, echoing 1 Peter 2:13-17 in his sermons.

"Submit to the powers ordained by God with disciplined obedience; murmur not against thy rulers as the Israelites against Moses, for rebellion breeds anarchy. Accept them as instruments of order, bearing infirmities with patience, that the church may flourish in peace."

— Thomas Hooker (Founder of Connecticut), Sermon on Civil Government (1630s)

John Winthrop explains how panicking shows we disrespect God's sovereignty in his choice in placing Donald Trump as President of the United States.

"Discipline the affections in public affairs; let not sudden alarms or dissatisfactions provoke rash actions against magistrates, but pray and endure as becomes saints. To panic is to question God's sovereignty, undermining the body politic we vowed to uphold."

— John Winthrop, In His Journal, On Communal Unrest (1640's)

"Against panics in public affairs, exercise holy discipline—trust that God upholds even flawed rulers for His purposes; to oppose them hastily from fear is irreverent, as it impugns the Almighty's providence and scatters the saints like chaff."

— Increase Mather, The Order of the Gospel (1697)

The devil loves it when we lack discipline and support for our current president, Donald Trump. That is why his servant on Earth in our country want you to panic and rebel against our leader and they are within the ranks of our government and institutions.

"The devil labors to inject panics and fears into the godly, magnifying every word or flaw of rulers to provoke mutiny; this is his device to make us question Providence, breeding hasty revolts that dishonor God and scatter His people like chaff before the wind."

— Richard Baxter, The Christian Directory (1673)

It is best to make use of your abilities for the country as our leader isn't perfect and he may do things that some of us may not agree with. However, Thomas Watson expresses the need for obedience because our leader is God's servant on Earth.

"Obedience to superiors is a Christian duty... [We must] obey them in the Lord... Pray for them that God would make them better, and give them wisdom to rule justly."

— Thomas Watson, The Ten Commandments (Section III: The Fifth Commandment)(1692)

It is best to show resilience and patience with our ruler, to make the best out of it, and to make use of our ability to make his will more effective for our country so the next generation may be influenced by righteous people like us. Panicking, nitpicking, apathy, and detaching yourself from our leader due to disagreement in politics shows lack of discipline and it helps no one but those we wholeheartedly disagree with that has power and are eager to make use of them to spread apathy and disunity.

"Satan's policy is to divide over trifles, that by our own hands we may weaken ourselves and let iniquity abound; for where there is no unity, the wicked shall rule."

— Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed (1630)

Plenty of writings has been done on the Puritans which most believes they are the forerunners of capitalism in Colonial America. The assumption started by a German sociologist by the name of Max Weber and his work, “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” published in 1905. However, Weber's erroneous takes on Puritans has left many within many religious sects of Christianity to have a completely misinformed interpretations (both positive and negative one).

First, we have addressed how people confused Puritans with capitalism. The notion that Puritans were even capitalist is due to the assumption that John Calvin and his theology fostered the drive for the capitalist spirit.

“The Calvinist doctrine of predestination... created a feeling of unprecedented inner loneliness of the single individual... This psychological isolation led to the rationalization of the whole conduct of life, and to the pursuit of worldly success as a sign of election, thus supplying the moral energy and drive of the capitalist entrepreneur”

— John Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1905), Chapter 4

Weber had not taken into consideration towards researching the work of John Calvin and his theology. Predestination emphasized God's sovereignty and humble obedience over entrepreneurial drive, and capitalism's roots trace more to medieval trade, usury debates, and Enlightenment individualism.

"For many are very ready to flatter themselves, and to entertain favorable views of their own condition, when they are in prosperity; but as soon as they are brought into adversity, they are presently cast down and fall into despair... Prosperity in this world... is full of all kinds of misery, and is so mixed with various calamities, that it is no small virtue to bear it with moderation."

— John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion (Book 3, Chapter 7, Section 8)

Calvin warns against letting wealth deceive us into false security, urging believers to view earthly riches as fleeting and potentially harmful to spiritual focus, rather than a sign of divine favor.

Calvin has critiqued the idea of hoarding wealth as it was considered sinful akin to robbing God himself. He affirms those with large amounts of wealth must use their wealth for communal good and refrains from using said wealth for personal gain.

"God has given us all things richly to enjoy, but not to hoard up... If we lay up treasures for ourselves, we are thieves before God, for we rob Him of what belongs to the poor."

— John Calvin, Sermon 142, Deuteronomy 15

The Puritans uphold to the spirit of Calvinism in the English world. Once they step into the New World, the Puritans maintained this communal spirit which differs from the rugged individualism and capitalist spirit which permeates America today.

New England Puritans viewed profiteering as a sin and a crime. At least one merchant bore the brunt of that belief. Robert Keayne, a wealthy Boston merchant, was fined and humiliated for price gouging.

In 1641, for example, Connecticut’s General Court passed wage controls. Skilled craftsmen – carpenters, masons, coopers, smiths and wheelwrights — could not accept more than 20 pence a day from March 10 through October 11. Other handicraft workers could not take more than 18 pence per day for the first half of the year, nor more than 12 pence during the second half.

The Puritans may not believe in capitalism, but they were by no means socialist. John Cotton, the fame theologian of Massachusset Bay Colony, expresses with great esteem that private property is a gift from God.

"Private property is a divine gift... but let no man heap up riches to himself, nor hoard up treasures for his posterity, but let him distribute to the necessities of the poor, as God hath prospered him."

— John Cotton, The Way of the Churches of Christ in New England

"Godliness is great gain, but not by hoarding gold or coveting others' portions... The rich must give freely, not by compulsion, lest we turn the church into a den of thieves."

— Thomas Watson, The Art of Divine Contentment

Austrian political economist Joseph Schumpeter argued that capitalism began in Italy in the 14th century, not in the Protestant areas of Europe. Danish macroeconomist Thomas Barnebeck Andersen et al. found that the location of monasteries of the Catholic Order of Cistercians, and specifically their density, highly correlated to this work ethic in later centuries; ninety percent of these monasteries were founded before the year 1300 AD.

It shows great comprehension to wise up from assumptions and study the works of those before us, because narratives and misinformation are everywhere both in our public life (including social media). We may be ahead of our forefathers in regards to technology, but we are not wiser from said technologies.
