founding

Wow, excellent essay and so challenging! It infuriates when I think that so much of what the left does to destroy America was allowed by nice, tolerant Christians who declined to call out the insanity and immorality. In my family I'm the only defender of the Founding Fathers; "they did their work 230 years ago, plus many owned slaves, so it's outdated plus they were white supremacists and you must be, too." When I ask them to give me the names of who did it better, they've got nothing. I'm anticipating God's judgment, but it's hard to live through this garbage. Try talking about the Bible to a leftist, and it's "my God isn't so cruel and judgmental, just loving and forgiving; you're reading a very old, inaccurate translation." It's hard to be optimistic about the future of America given the unbridgeable chasms between left and right.

Unless the pendulum swings wildly, abruptly and seriously to the right, our founding principals regained, and morality as defined by Christianity accepted and honored by the majority, America, the republic, is dead.

Some kind of earth shattering, catastrophic event is in America's future. I don't know what, and maybe it won't be in my lifetime, but unfortunately I feel certain it will happen.
