There are many comparisons with the climate of the day of the Founding Fathers. Massive change was underway then, too. They kept their cool, mainly by admitting that no matter how sure they were of their own judgement they might be ultimately wrong. So they went slowly, but with intense debate and put all the issues out in public for scrutiny. We have as many or even more heavy issue debates underway due to the effects of technology, and massive change is underway. We need to see this in total, not just a set of isolated issues.
"We need to see this in total, not just a set of isolated issues."
I agree, but the overriding factor to me that trumps all other issues combined is IMMIGRATION.
You write of the Founding Fathers. Just to remind you that back in the late 1700s this country was 99% Christians. What has happened? Back in 1960, a mere 5 years before the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 90% of all immigration (legal and illegal) to our country was European, as intended by our Founding Fathers. Today over 90% of all legal and illegal immigration is non-European. What has happened? What has happened, and continues to happen, is that our immigration policies and laws today discriminate against European immigration as a collective. This is not happening in a vacuum or by accident - it has all been planned by the enemies of Christianity, that which gave rise to our culture, traditions, mores and way of life. That which gave rise to Western Culture.
Hold on to your hats boys! We'll soon be up to our necks. If we are lucky we'll morph into another 3rd world banana republic, like a Cuba or a Brazil. If not, prepare to defend your own.
