We do need to build the stable for the next two or three generations. The left has built their machine over more than a century. The right did not realize how much future orientation they would need to have every single day. Many well-disposed people simply cannot grasp why anyone would not want to be a well-disposed person. Free people do not see the need to stay organized against a threat.
And we were building on a long history of shared Judeo-Christian values. Besides FDR's heresies, the SCOTUS decision in 1948 to put the rights of atheists on the same footing as those who believe in "Nature's God" was the end of our Constitution. You can't have it both ways. Either their is a God or there isn't; no amount of believing in either direction will change that reality.
I agree, but it is a difficult thing to minister to someone who doesn’t believe (or want to believe) theologically as you or I do...
We look at a belief in a higher authority (God) as a personal belief, a free will as some may say...We knpw right from wrong in that aspect...
Where a person of a liberal/social belief in (God) as another source of “whats in it for me” aspect, as they do in EVERYTHING else they come across in their lives...And they pass that entitlement emntality down from generation to generation...
“Who is to blame for this???” They look at it that way as well...Instead of directing their efforts to picking themselves up by the bootstraps, they look to government to give them the assistance they could very well do on their own, and that perpetuates the cycle where it becomes an expected thing that when you are down the government is, and will be there to help...
And anyone that stands in the way is a racist homophobic, hate filled person who only benefits from the down-trodden of the world...Much less this country...
This country is already fractionated to a point where if we ever did correct some of the crippling entitlement attitudes of some of our citizens, I still believe eventually a split (politically, demographically, economically and socially) will happen...Maybe not now, but eventually...
Again, just my opinion...
