Hour of Decision: The Fateful Election of 1912; Local Officials Need to Stand Up Against Tyranny

In the first half of Hour of Decision Lew discusses the role the J.P. Morgan-backed, third-party candidacy of Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 had on the future of our nation. His entry into the race assured the election of Woodrow Wilson, whose alter-ego Col. Edward Mandell House proclaimed the desirability of bringing socialism to America as dreamed about by Karl Marx.
Wilson did bring two key planks of the communist manifesto to America; a central bank called the Federal Reserve, and the graduated income tax. Wilson also brought the precursor of the United Nations to the world in the form of the League of Nations.
In the second half of the show Lew interviews Pastor Matthew Trewhella, author of The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates. He explains why Christians must always stand up against tyranny and how resistance from lower level officials is a necessary element in the struggle for freedom.
