I readily appreciate your perspective, feelings.

And while the analogy is far from perfect for a list of reasons, you reminded me of Ike forcing the Germans to tour the concentration camps.

However, probably one serious, significant reason we are at this hideous point in our history is because so many of us have chosen to walk on by on the other side of the road instead of attend to the sick man of our USA lying dying on the our side of the road.

We have not wanted nor tolerated to treat the evidences of the evil with sufficient attention to stop them, clean them out. We have looked the other way for decades while the rot intensified, multiplied & spread throughout our society.

Looking anywhere else was not only more comfortable, it was passionately chosen--partly because looking closely at such evil might force us to realize that There but for the grace of God, go I.

We were loathe to say "Not my brother nor my sister, but it's me, oh Lord, standin' in the need of prayer." We were loathe to look sufficiently searchingly in our own mirrors and become willing to clean out--at least to sufficiently seek God's help to clean out the evil in our own lives until we could face cleaning out such evils in the body politic and our institutions.

We didn't like, couldn't stand the fact that we were members of such a flawed, evil race of critters. We preferred NOT to think about "in Adam, all sinned" and that all sin is sufficient to ban us from God.

We were not sufficiently willing to realize that all sin results in death--at least a spiritually bloody, mangled, relationship-destroying death--whether physically so, or not.

Nope. We had to sanitize our visual scenery. We had to fantasize how much more righteous we were than the more hideous examples of our race--in part by looking elsewhere. We had to cultivate our good little pharisees persona--thanking ourselves that we weren't as bad as the publicans in our view--to more convincingly walk in the presumed decency enough to sleep easier at night.

I don't know how much more, if at all, I'll post about such horribly disturbing things. I believe that our outrage may not be as great as it needs to be, to become. Complacency, comfortable avoidance is already very powerful and, imho, we have barely begun to recognize the degree of the rot without and within.

And such stances of ours have durn near cost us our Nation as well as our freedoms and our lies. We were evidently 6-8 years from Shrillery starting WW3 to please her globalist bosses and satan. Talk about bloody . . . !

Your preferences are noted. I prefer not to disappoint or annoy. However, there are often higher priorities.

imho, a yuge part of Q's call to arms is to wake us sufficiently to help insure that we as a Nation REALLY DO root out the insidious spiritual infection.
