This scheming over our fresh water by unscrupulous "Americans" who would surrender sovereignty over America to the nations of the world (UN) should have been a wake up call long ago.
Our immorality has caused our inability to recognize truth even when truth is easily seen, comprehended, and staring us in the face.
Long past time to roll back the millstone.

It's at this point in the editorial where I part ways with the ideology. In my opinion, Christian standards are acceptable and highly preferable as long those standards are kept to the overall themes found in just the New Testament. The moment one starts flirting too heavily with the standards found in the Pentateuch, you've lost me. You lose me because those standards, when imposed, I believe run in stark contrast to the Good News that we've been given more recently. Many of the people that I run across and debate -- the ones who focus more on the Pentateuch -- seem to have forgotten much of the larger themes of the Good News and do not practice much tolerance for the free will that God has granted us.
The next thing about that sentence is this notion that we're a slave to so-called corporatism. It's complete bunk! Corporations are empowered because they have made decisions to serve their market in such a way that they've attracted and maintained consumers; consumers with free will. We, as consumers, choose to do business with corporations voluntarily. The same goes for those who work for and provide their labor inputs to the corporation so that it can do business. The only coercion that exists is to the extent that workers allow themselves to run out of options, making it hard for them to escape without experiencing temporary pain, and giving the corporation the leverage.
Americans are complacent because they have it so easy. Never before in history can one be so wealthy with so little effort. Elections aren't all that interesting to most unless the directly affect them.
I thought this this thread might interest you. Well, at least to the point that you'd want to offer a reply to it.
Does the author of this article claim to be a conservative? The reason I ask is because it sure sounds to me like she's arguing here in favor of a centralized economy. Do you think the author has any statistics showing the percentage of people in the world living in freedom today vs. 50 years ago? Do you think she knows how many countries are democracies today vs. 50 years ago? Does she have any grasp of real per-capita GDP in the world today vs. 50 years ago?
This is one bizarre individual with some very scary ideas.
