Serious questions;
1.) Do you believe that we are a conservative country in the same way we were when Reagan was elected to office?
I ask this in light of the fact that after 43 years of Roe Wade, and an uncountable number of murdered children, nothing has substantially changed - even with the notorious revelations from Planned Barrenhood ...
I ask this in light of the fact that, following the demonically possessed jurists of SCOTUS gave us both Obamacare and sodomite “marriage,” neither the people nor their representatives rose up in armed rebellion - as they rightly should have; or, at the very least, committed themselves to a national tax strike and work stoppage ...
I ask this for reason that, in spite of those two demonic happenings and the ongoing assault on our liberties - which is being perpetrated by Marxist thugs and their PC enablers - yet the American people have not risen up against these fascist traitors with hell’s fury ...
Add to this the fraudulent banking bailouts, the destruction of our currency, the mathematically irreversible accumulation of debt, etc, etc ...
2.) Within the zeitgeist that clearly defines our post-Christian culture (and I don’t know how any could deny that to be true), do you honestly believe that a man such as Senator Ted Cruz has even a fair chance at winning the presidency (assuming he wins the GOP nomination)?
My point is this: The one sure sign that God is totally disgusted and pissed with his people is when he allows them to fall into the hands of corrupt and evil leaders - both in the ecclesiastical and secular realm ... To be totally honest - in that we get the leaders we deserve - I would not be surprise that we will find ourselves under the boot heel of direct communism - via Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders ... In truth, I believe we have been living under such for a very long time now ... Moreover, if I should be so bold as to completely reveal my thoughts on the matter, the very fact that individuals such as Clinton and Sanders hold any position of power is the most damning verdict against our culture.
I don't think we were conservative then, and I think we are more depraved and obviously in greater peril now, for all the reasons you cite.

I struggle with the idea that we are "post-Christian" because I'm not sure we were ever "Christian". We are certainly more culturally depraved and less virtuous than we were. Regarding Cruz's election chance, I don't think in those terms. "Chance" is a subjective and speculative quantification of our uncertainty. I am certain that God is orchestrating every note of history.
I completely agree that we that we get the leaders we deserve and that we may very well find ourselves under the boot heel of direct communism.
Proverbs 16:33
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.
Proverbs 21:31
The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.
And regarding the spirit of the times, the Spirit of the Lord is greater.
1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
