You don’t have to believe in God to see the threat of the godless Left. Have no doubt, they are in ascension in America, leading us down the road to universal gay marriage, illegal amnesty, cultural sterilization (Google “Brown Univ. Columbus Day”), and threatening the very fabric of our nation in ways we can not now even conceive. But what scares me the most is this sense of resignation that seems to be afoot in America, that the Obama Agenda is just going to wash through us, and there is nothing to do about it. Meanwhile the Left is fighting like hell on every front to drive a stake through the heart of the Silent Majority. When will we fight?
==When will we fight?
You should talk to TQC about that, he’s got a plan! No kidding!
One of the most disquieting things about the last election was the ascendance of secularism in the political arena. Obama is obviously a secular socialist (religion is good only when when submitted to political purposes, such as in Rev Wright's congregation). Even worse, however, was the attenuation of the old "moral majority/Christian coalition" type voters. Rick Warren is no Jerry Falwell. Although his people are pro-life, I wonder how deep the convictions run. They seem to have bought into a lot of the "social Gospel" messages from the 30's. Nothing wrong with caring for the poor and all that, but the political slant they give the teaching is disturbing.
I fear that the traditional Protestant "glue" that held our cultural consensus together has come apart. I wonder if anything can put it back together short of a revival of national proportions. The secularization that's occurring in our country now is precisely what occurred in Europe in the 19th century. It paved the way for all the madness of the 20th century and the moribund social welfare states that exist there now.
I would like to think that those old Falwell-style voters are out there and could still be a force, but I wonder if a new generation hasn't come along that simply won't buy into the elders "values" anymore. The secularization of our country continues apace, and I'm beginning to think we need some divine intervention to stave off social dissolution.
