What Has Happened to America?
CNSNews ^ | 11/4/2013 | Charlie Daniels

But, something has happened to America in the last couple of decades: a large part of the population has conceded its future to a government that grows bigger and more intrusive every day. Rather than take their heads out of the sand and admit that they are passing along a fiscal monster that's going to devour the prosperity of foreseeable generations, they choose to accept.

>> Blacks are the most Christian of any race, Hispanics second

>>How do they vote?

Christianity is not measured by church attendance, candles lit, or the energy you put into dancing in church.

The blacks and hispanics would be good Christians in their hearts, but they get poisoned by the Marxists in the pulpit who tell them that they are owed things for crimes committed generations ago. They are led astray by false teachers and prophets to vote Democrat, even though they know that it is the party of abortion and homosexuality. They are told that they must hold their noses and accept these abominations to elect the politicians who will serve their best interests.

The nature of their faith is apparent from their works (votes).

Now, compare blacks and hispanics in America to a true African or Latin American Christian and the difference is apparent and shows the extent of the Marxist rot in their souls.

That’s true.

What is also true is that this handout society attracted a huge number of Catholics from south and central American to flock to the US.

There is no economically successful and stable Catholic-majority country in the world. They all veer from periodic booms to busts, with debt repudiation along the way.

We’re on our way there even now.

And the 14th, which was passed under dubious circumstances, and (a) subverts State Citizenship, (b) is a thinly veiled bill of attender [see sec 3], and (c) states:
The validity of the public debt of the United States […] shall not be questioned.

The decline in Christianity in the late 20th century that paralleled the rise of global communism. Democracy doesn’t work when people are selfish a-holes who only care about voting to steal other people’s money for themselves. Christianity helps make people not be selfish a-holes.

Your description is crude, yet effective. I would add that a republican form of government only works with a morally upright populace (i.e. those who adhere to the Judeo-Christian ethic).

You can’t reconcile Marxism with Biblical Christianity,
no matter how much you squeeze the Word of God.

That depends on what you believe first. If you are a Marxist, you can wrap your version of Christ around it. The most revealing comment that they will use is “Christ was a socialist.” Now, how can that be since socialism wasn’t invented until 1800 years after his death and resurrection?

When they say that, I ask them, “So was Marx a Christian?” They have to answer no, so it is obvious that they believe that Jesus followed Marx (somehow—time machine??) but that Marx is free of Christ.

But, when they preach to those who want to hear the Marxist message, they don’t get asked the tough questions.

I’d give them that Christ (and Paul) was “communal”, but not communist.

The church should be communal to support one another as needed,

but communism, like all things the left does, takes that concept and warps it to something evil.

That's why Pope John Paul II lowered the boom when much of his clergy was running around Latin America trying to do just that.

Amen ‘bro.

A return to federalism is our only hope. Levin’s amendments would give us government more federal than that of the framers, which is a good thing.

Our state legislators will rise to the occasion. Imagine holding your state rep and senator responsible for treaties and federal judicial appointments.
