This country's problem is spiritual, not political or economic. Our loss of freedom (political decay) and prosperity (economic decay) are symptoms of our loss of authentic faith in God. A righteous, healthy nation would have laughed at the likes of Barack Obama running for President.

If you don't fix the cause, fixing the symptoms is just wasting your time.

I wonder how many even on FR understand that you have perfectly stated the problem and answer?

You are confusing parallel symptoms, not causes. The spiritual deterioration stems from the same compulsive egalitarian attack on traditional values, as does the political, economic, academic & journalistic.

For over a century now, the Left has studiously worked to undermine the intellectual roots of all our institutions. Unless you are willing to challenge the basic--the completely false--premises of the Left--premises that now control most of our institutions of higher education; you cannot succeed.

On the spiritual, front, just pause and consider how the ACLU had succeeded in dividing the God Fearing from a defense of their traditional values. It is not just the attack on public right to prayer; not just about not displaying religious symbols on public ground.

The blame & envy game, that has been used to promote hatred of those who succeed, by those who fail; as well as hatred of whites by other races; has included the outright denial of any individual's right to actually favor the spiritually directed in employment, or--as in some nauseating recent incidents--the right to not do business with those making a mockery of marriage.

The attacks are all linked to a pervasive--yet demonstrably irrational--acceptance of the idea that the collective has the right & duty to override every other value, in pursuit of an "equality," that simply does not exist in nature. The pursuit of unreality, premised upon a Blame & Envy Cocktail is the single most destructive force undermining social cohesion, stability & good feeling in America.

It is also totally irreconcilable with Liberty.
