Look at every nation that has rejected Christ, and its obvious what has made America great, our embracing the gospel of Christ's salvation. Of course the left and the media are always trying to ignore this, hoping we will reject Him, so we can join a world in misery, poverty, oppression, and tyranny, just where Satan would love to see us. Ain't gunna happen, because Christ will rebuke the devourer for our sake.

Great article, thanks for the post.

"People less consumed by their own sense of wonderful specialness"

What an excellent description of "Liberals" with their oh-so-good intentions and oh-so-limited horizons, busy paving The Road to you-know-where and determined to drag the intellectually and morally superior rest of us down that Road along with them!
