And I strongly agree, being complacent will not do.
Having thought that statement over further, dearest sister in Christ, I find I need to qualify it.
Progressive thinkers detest liberty on principle — as long as it's the liberty of others. In their own minds, they themselves are, of course, exempt from this rule: They want absolutely unfettered liberty of action for themselves. To gain power in the public sphere therefore entails that the liberty of others be totally suppressed. Progressives finally see every public question in terms of a zero-sum game — expressed as a matter of social and political power. E.g., if anyone benefits, it must come at the expense of another. Oh, and don't forget: God is dead. So He can't stop us.
Or so they assume.
What a great way to polarize and divide what formerly was a more-or-less unified, society in common dedicated to the equal dignity, inalienable rights and equal justice for every citizen. That sort of thing is NOT a zero-sum game. It is the prescription for the empowerment of the human individual.
Which is an idea, ever since John Dewey, that the Progressive Educrats have been trying to smother in its cradle.
But we know "which side" they play for. Suffice it to say, they are no lovers of God.
Thank you so much for writing, dearest! and for noticing that complacency in the face of this demonic assault on Christianity and American society is not an option!
