Thank you, Norm. You just presented a strong piece of theoretical evidence to support one potential facet of my hypothesis. One way or the other, the 'progressive' elites are spiritually barren. We can debate the why's and wherefore's after they've been vanquished from the continent.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
The statement about the Devil’s greatest lie was his nonexistence, is so true. People refuse to believe their ;heroes’ much less their neighbors can be anything but ‘good people’ is the bane of ‘our’ existence.
People who support liberalism and the liberals who espouse liberalism cannot by definition be ‘good people’ if we believe liberalism is evil.
And the gen-pub reject that inescapable conclusion because...well ‘just cuz’.
And round the maypole we go.
