In the current political debate the lack of Godly wisdom is obvious. Our Founding Fathers had this wisdom when they fought for freedom and when they wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They honored God and by His wisdom was this country established.

Now, our progressive leaders want to abolish the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They say it is outdated or that they are living documents that need to be changed.

Here are a few verses showing what God thinks on the subject of wisdom:

Psalms 37:30, The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

Psalms 111:10, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Proverbs 1:7, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 2:6, For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:7, He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

Proverbs 9:10, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Proverbs 11:2, When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Proverbs 12:8, A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

Proverbs 12:10, Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

Proverbs 15:33, The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

Proverbs 17:24, Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the Earth.

Proverbs 23:9, Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

1 Corinthians 1:20, Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

1 Corinthians 2:5, That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 3:19, For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

James 3:17, But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

I am sure after reading these verses, you can pick out the fools in our government. Just because a verse says "he" does not mean that is for men only. You can substitute she for he.
