That is an excellent point. Christianity truly doesn’t have a home with either political party, it seems. Our country has turned it’s back on God in favor of a secular world view. The main thrust of the article seems to be that Reagan understood that political battles are at the root spiritual wars ( the dissonance between communism and democracy) He rightly pointed out that communism isn’t just a different economic system but is truly evil, and by evil he meant a demonic scheme to separate men from God. Furthermore, the point is that until you call out true evil for what it is and rally against it, you cannot and will not win. The Republican Party has not learned this lesson. Reagan understood political battles to be spiritual battles. How many self professed political conservatives truly believe in the existence of evil and believe America to be “One nation under God?”

I don’t believe that there is a truly conservative American political party anymore, there’s just two different sides of globalism, and populism. Both parties want Christians and others concerned with social issues from a conservative POV to just shut up and go away (even as some say “Well, then why don’t you do something, like that sodomite guy is doing?) They can’t mean that, because if they did, they wouldn’t have a problem with us even merely mentioning our dissent to having conservatism morphed into something it never was, historically. They don’t want us to do something, as usual, they want us to just shut up and go away. Just like they wanted the Moral Majority to do. The fiscal branch of “conservatism” wants the social branch of conservatism (which historically was an integral part of conservatism) to just go away already. They don’t believe it, but they’re going to get what they want eventually, but it’s not going to be what they wanted, it’s going to be very different.
