If our Leaders are convicted criminals then who do we look to.....?

Our governor was convicted of ethical/white collar crimes, our mayors wife was caught in a DUI and was convicted she got to spend her three days in jail in a rehab center that most people could not afford, we have a supreme court justice who had a DUI while driving a state car that was convicted.

These folks are suppose to be an example of what a good citizen is, well these people aren't.

Why should we obey the laws then? Is this social break down that will lead to the fall of the American Way of Life?

    Most of leaders is not convicted criminals and never will be convicted, but it does not eliminate the fact .Some of them simply above the Law, or really believe in it...That is not a big secret, just, for some reason, it is not comfortable to talk about that...so as above , so bellow...that ultimate Law fully express itself in societies too... Of course, not entirely all of them...fortunately...small number of those who is honest easily would be convicted by political intrigues created by unconvicted ones which is quite usual in their dimentions of existence...

    We are to pray for our leaders that are in authority..God shall judge those that do not obey His Commandments..for we are not to judge one another..we are to pray one for another..For Vengence is Mine saith the Lord..Amen

    We look to God for our help..and He will answer those who have a pure heart in His sight..Amen
