America Is in Dire Need of a Course Correction
Townhall.com ^ | February 6, 2022 | Walker Widmon

Posted on 02/06/2022 4:41:01 AM PST by Kaslin

After one year of the Biden presidency, it is clear that his administration is focused on weakening and even removing the constitutional underpinnings of America. The same underpinnings that our Founding Fathers put in place to safeguard us from human nature.

The question is— are we surprised to see where we are as a country? I’m not. When I look around at our culture, I see darkness. A culture made up of people who have little regard for biblical morality.

The prophet Isaiah warned about where we are today when he wrote, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)

We are living in a day where a major political party along with their allies in the media believe that men can become women and women can become men. This same party fosters lawlessness in American cities and ignores the laws designed to keep our borders sovereign and secure. Democrats hate everything about America and the ideals she was founded on.

To the contrary, the other party looks good on paper, but their leaders don’t know how to fight for what they believe in. Republicans are a great minority party but don’t expect much to get done once they’re in the majority. I guess you could say the same thing about Democrats. All talk and no action is how I describe the political show in Washington. It’s the most intense pillow fight on earth.

America was founded by men who understood human nature. In 1798, Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Kentucky Resolutions, “In questions of powers, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

There’s plenty of mischief going on in the District of Columbia. A specific force cited in the Constitution that can be used to prevent man from mischief is the electorate.

After seeing wickedness advance throughout American culture and in our nation’s capital I have become more convinced that our country is in desperate need of good men and women to enforce a major course correction.

This is going to have to happen in several parts of society. Course correction must take place in each home, the local church, the workplace, and city halls. Men must take control of their household and begin effectively leading their families teaching their children right from wrong— what is good and what is evil. The faithful must be engaged in their churches and support their pastors in the shepherding of the body of Christ toward obedience to Scripture. Godly men and women must be leaders in the workplace— not just leaders but moral leaders that shun evil and promote good, but leaders with integrity. Lastly, godly men and women must be engaged in the electing of moral individuals to serve in government. Taking their entire household to vote for those who know right from wrong and aren’t afraid to speak the truth.

I don’t hesitate to criticize the political class in Washington and across state capitals around the country that have often been too concerned with their political future as opposed to the future of our country. They deserve every ounce of criticism for selling our country in exchange for access by special interests and corporate elites solely focused on profit as opposed to people.

The glaring issue is that these individuals are elected by you and me. It is time that the American electorate take control of this country and put an end to the insanity. Many people are fed up with the American system of government to such an extent that they want to throw their hands up and walk away. I know people who feel this way. They’ve disengaged out of frustration and lack of tangible results. We must not fall prey to this indifference.

God commands His people to be salt and light no matter their circumstances. Disengagement is a tool of the enemy. A strategy that will surely end in defeat. Are there enough good people to enforce a major course correction and get this country on a path that embraces biblical morality? I don’t know. History is full of examples of God using average men and women to bring about radical change. If course correction is to come about in America, it will begin household by household and neighborhood by neighborhood.

Most today just know what they don’t want and won’t fight for it.


I have to restate that.

Most just know what they don’t want. I stand on that statement.

But many ARE fighting for what they don’t want. Managing for what you don’t want never takes you anywhere except to another thing you don’t want.

If you shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask, “what are you fighting for?”, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me?

The only way we can change it is to fight back at every one of their programs, such as transgender for openers.

Who will step up and do what needs to be done.

Right now - it's just pushing.
The coming SHOVE will answer the question.

meh.....already happened. The first great revolutionary overthrow that occurred peacefully was in 1990 and resulted in the dissolution of the USSR

The second started at 10:00pm 11/03 in the USA and was completed 01/20/21. Ashly Babbitt was the only casualty. The primary weapon- as admittedly planned months in advance by Biden - was electoral and voter fraud.

So far it’s all working out pretty well for the people fronting his “presidency/dictatorship”

I’m not so sure Biden was in on the planning. Even in 2020 he wasn’t very sharp. This is a conspiracy by several states, they control the voting process, the DNC, and RNC. It takes high level government officials to coordinate the use of Dominion and ballot fraud to pull this off.

AZ, WI, MI, PA, and GA are in cahoots in this evil deed. As far as Mike Pense, he’s just incompetent. He could halted this sham by refusing to certify but didn’t.

...A Course Correction

We were in the midst of a great one until the ChiCom bioweapon attack and the fraudulent election. Energy independent, moderate fuel prices, as close to full employment as possible, entrepreneurism encouraged and rewarded, some of the harm done over the prior 8 years ameliorated.

I'm pretty sure it was done FOR him, not BY him.

There was something SO FISHY about that book that one old gal wrote about him supposedly raping her. I always thought that if there was really anything on him, anything at all, like that and it was real, he would have had the book thrown at him a long time ago. It’s all BS. I’m sure he’s behaved inappropriately with women a bunch of times, but it’s reasonable to think he hasn’t done anything majorly wrong (that he hasn’t paid for.)

Trump’s mean tweets simply gave credence to the old saying “Truth hurts”.

There’s no doubt that Trump is an acquired taste for some. I have family members who truly hated his delivery but voted for him anyway. ...then when the march was on to impeach him they hated him calling they were sorry they voted for the SOB.......now Biden’s ruined everything they think Trump was better for the nation.
