If what you’re saying here about Mourdock will at best have no effect, then maybe other efforts would be more productive.
If I was going to talk about Islam with Muslim neighbors I would probably try to engage them, to find out what they believe and why, and help them critically analyze their own beliefs. What Mourdock did could have opened dialog regarding important issues - including the issue raised in our own Declaration of Independence: that the inalienable rights are endowed by our CREATOR. If someone has been conceived they have a Creator. What Mourdock said fits hand in hand with the country’s founding document. And that was an opening for dialog.
But this country doesn’t want dialog. They want to rush headlong into destruction. And THAT will be what kills us. Not somebody who makes the mistake of trying to engage in dialog.
So how do you ever get good results with a people who won’t engage in dialog or facts, but only want to go on a media-induced rampage to destruction? If we keep on just dumbing everything down we’re only delaying the inevitable. Eventually the people of this country have to be more than media-manipulated air-heads, or we are doomed anyway. Would you agree?
I do not blame the faults of this nation on Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Jews, Moslems, Atheists or Christians but on the PEOPLE as a whole. ALL the above have abrogated their duties as citizens and simply refuse to educate themselves about the realities of politics. What percentage of people have read even ONE book the last year? How many have read a SERIOUS book, not one assigned in a course, in the last year, ten years, EVER?
Until the mass of the people are weaned from the media liars, the movie perverts and freaks and the vacuous Know-Nothings (Oprah, The View, etc) there is small chance that the greatest nation in history can prevail.
Our Founders deliberately did not establish a Democracy and for good reason. It also appears that extending the vote to women greatly increased the bias in the electorate towards socialistic policies which makes it difficult to regain our original vision.
