"But what about Christians? Whats our excuse for staying silent?" We stay silent because we see these people as beyond redemption anyway. We're not supposed to behave that way but there comes a time when Christians simply have to face reality.

Although I believe in staying in the fight, I think you're right on. I've come to that conclusion sometime between 9-11 and 2003 with the opening of the flood gates on homosexual marriage in Canada and here in the U.S. To me, the rabid left who are proud to flaunt their libertine ways and gross deviancy, well, my conclusion is these people are dead, dead spiritually, morally/ethically, and mentally. Not even God can help these people, although I doubt doubt His powers at all, but extreme liberalism is a mental disorder (thanks Michael Savage) and just like with a drug/alcohol problem, the first step to redemption is to wake up and recognize the problem. I'm afraid these wackos are still in the starting gate and cannot even get to square one. I hope one day some of them, even a small number of them will realize that, but I don't hold much hope for them. Sometimes trying to convert these people, well, spending time trying to benchpress the front end of Mom's Hyundai and/or moving the City/County Building in downtown Pittsburgh brick by brick would be a better use of my time.

I see maybe two things coming:
1. People like us will say enough is enough and just tell the libertines to "go fly a kite" and set things right again.
2. The United States as we know it will collapse, maybe due to economic conditions although the decline of morals plays a part in it. Either we will break up, and the libertines take a few states and go their way and we go ours, or we kick them out to Uganda or somewhere, or maybe the Red Chinese or Islamo-Fascists blow us up, the third maybe being another catalyst. Then after, hopefully, people like us will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes and put things right again. Maybe this is the best option, sometimes I wonder that, sort of like when your computer starts acting funny and slowing down, you need a reboot to put things right. I don't know.
I think we do need to fight the good fight, hopefully take back America or at least make the crash landing a bit less painful and go from there.

I think I first said this in 1990: "I feel like a jew in mid-30's Germany.
I bought a book of matches, a can of gas and a fiddle. I'm just waiting for the day to use them.

We're not supposed to behave that way but there comes a time when Christians simply have to face reality. Reality is that following Christ's orders is not optional for the Christian, even if they seem difficult, or even (in our near-blind I-can-see-one-thread-in-the-big-picture-tapestry condition) futile. As C.S. Lewis said, what God requires of us is that when Christ returns we are at our post standing our watch. All else is silliness.
