Sic Semper Tyrannis ! Vol. 14 — Spanked Teen

Mr. Spitz looked around, said that, acting on the information he'd been given, he thought he had probable cause to believe there was child abuse; and that he was taking all of the “minors” to the “juvenile center,” and that the officer would arrest all the adults.

At that point, Chris stepped forward, and knelt in the middle of the room, and addressed him.

“You have seen no evidence of child abuse, and there has been none. The truth is that you disagree with our religious beliefs, and those of our church and school, and are seeking to close our church and school, and place us all with foster parents who share your own secular humanist beliefs.

“God will not permit you to do it. None of us has resisted you, no one has uttered a syllable that could be construed as terroristic threatening.

“I am offering to let you apprehend me; and my brothers will do the same. But I serve a mighty God, and you are devoting your entire energy to opposing His work in the world. You are using the coercive power of the State in an attempt to force parents to rear their children as secular humanists, and in opposition to God.”

Mr. Spitz had been staring at Chris during this discourse as though he were one transfixed. Chris looked intently into Mark Spitz's eyes, and continued, “I am genuinely, terribly sorry. But you chose to oppose God's work. He will not allow His work to be defeated. You cannot destroy us, because God Himself will fight for us.”

“Plainly put, the moment you or your companions lay a hand on me or my brothers, or my parents, God Himself will strike you down. Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Chris ceased speaking and bowed his head. Mr. Spitz hesitated, then placed his hand firmly on Chris's right shoulder. When he did, a look of horror spread over his face. Chris raised his head, looked him squarely in the eye, and said firmly, and almost sorrowfully, “Mark Spitz, you are a dead man!” And as Chris uttered the words, Mr. Spitz crumpled in a heap on the floor.

Sic Semper Tyrannis is a memoir about a time, not so long past, when men were free, religious values were taken seriously. and parents were allowed to pass on the cultural heritage to their children without governmental interference. As David Selznick remarked concerning the Antebellum South, "Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind . . . "

This fictional account is the story of what might have been, had Christian parents possessed the courage of their convictions. It depicts the use of spanking and other types of physical correction, from the perspective of an adolescent boy.

Twelve year old Billy Martin has been suddenly uprooted from the only home he knows, in liberal Stockholm, and sent to live with his eighteen year old brother, Bob, who has recently joined an ultra-conservative religious group in Idaho.Billy, a high-spirited youth, has been allowed to run at loose ends for his entire life, and has never experienced discipline of any kind. He now finds himself in a vastly different world. Bob immediately sets about bringing his kid brother into line, and giving him the “Biblical discipline” that he, and the other sect members, consider essential to proper child rearing. Billy strives to come to grips with the new reality.

While the characters are wholly imaginary, the issues they confront are real, and threaten to undermine the very foundations of our civilization. This work does not contain any erotic material, but is a sobering assessment of today's child rearing practices in the United States and Western Europe.

This is the seventh volume of a more extensive saga, which traces the course of Billy and his friends as they struggle through the years of adolescence. It should be required reading for every adolescent boy, his parents, and all those who seek to influence him.
