Let’s not build false bravado and in trumping confidence and surety we water-down the clear and present danger now upon us.
For that is what I see happening across the Conservative spectrum. The zealous desire to only ‘think positive’ that we are going to ‘rise up’ and ‘save ourselves’ relegates many to simply thinking that all they have to do is send in money to political candidates and assure themselves that the next president is going to be our salvation.
I think the vast majority of us are infected with a fatal case of Normalcy Bias - and we need to scream about what will happen to us if we do not arrest the fall we are currently on.
God in scripture did not mince words in describing the consequences that would befall His people for their apathy and accommodation of sinfulness. I think we need to do the same, or many will not think we are in the dire situation we find ourselves in.
Look, count the cost, be realistic, but no need to be morose, sour, or bitter. No one will follow you that way and you invite defeat. Our Founders knew and acknowledged the risks involved but they didn’t wallow in it. They moved based on belief in the virtue of freedom and hope against the odds. You’ve got to have hope and pass it on to others. Otherwise, we’re spinning our wheels.
And as I’ve said for a long time now and glad to see others like you saying it, America’s salvation isn’t coming from some “political savior” so many seem to look for. It will come when the American People take stock and via their states, stand against the feds.
The “political savior” thing is a symptom of our #1 problem: trusting in man instead of God. This problem, in turn, is the source of our #1 political problem: a $4 trillion federal government, $3 trillion of which is unconstitutional and illegal.
The political fix must be preceded by a spiritual fix. We’re in God’s hands.
