I pray your correct; but I don’t believe it. From where I sit it appears to me that the pendulum has swung so far to the left that there’s no going back. The problem is that those who might oppose the leftist agenda have no outlets for their viewpoints; the leftists control practically all of the MSM and the Internet blogosphere. There’s no longer the sound of civil discourse on any policy subject; there is rather, the sound of only one voice, the voice of the leftist propaganda organs. Worse, they control education from the ground up. Last time I tuned in, even Limbaugh seemed resigned to the fact that this administration will be followed by Hillary and when that happens, even the radio air waves will be silenced. The only real chance for any meaningful reform and recovery will come after the final collapse of the economy. At that point, after the mayhem that will doubtless occur, the sheeple might begin to open their pecan-like minds to some “new” ideas. This “dark age” has probably another 50 to 100 years in it.
I pray you’re wrong, and I’ll ensure that my children are raised in a such a way as to seek Liberty and opportunity at any turn and at any cost.
I anticipate the US being a big player in this “darkening age”. In the midst of another “crisis”, the American left will attempt to co-opt religion (with cooperation from popular Christian denominations) in an effort to attract a significant portion of the religious right. They will then steamroll a big government + big religion “solution” (i.e. decree) on the entire world. In one of the last acts on this world’s stage, government mandated morality will constitute the outward manifestation of the Mark of the Beast as described in Revelation.
