Sounds like you're throwing up your hands in defeat Jeff.

Nope. I'm just a realist. The Lord reigns, and defeat isn't an option, but I've been active in politics for a lotta years and I've seen this coming for most of them. We aren't going to change it, but as a Christian I *will* continue to fight for what's right.

What would you pose as a solution?

The only answer - maybe - would be national repentance. It ain't gonna happen. America was founded by people who based their lives and this country upon their Christian faith - that's what undergirds the whole shebang. We have thrown that away, and the Lord is letting us go. Plus, without that basic morality, this country has no hope of functioning as a free society anyway. As John Adams said, "The Constitution is suitable for a religious and a moral people; it is unsuitable for the government of any other."

I love everything about what you said there -- especially the part about national repentence. Catholic dittos, bro.

It's just that simple, but the big-tenters have an exceedingly difficult time with it.
