I never say never unless I'm absolutely 💯 forced to admit that I can't see a solution.
So far, and I do Thank 😊 Our Mighty Heavenly Father for continuing 🙏 to keep me optimistic.
I do acknowledge that it will take much work from many people and that the number of people who are willing to acknowledge MUCH LESS WORK to reverse this trend are dwindling.
History is an excellent teacher....our first step... take back the education system and ensure that it educates rather than indoctrinates. Reedify the institution of marriage and family and leave parenting to parents.
Some may say extolling the virtues of the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Founders is propaganda. They're wrong. There is no deception involved. Our founding documents along with the values contained therein are not hidden. They are the foundations of this republic and we must require adherence to them if we are to keep it. There is a difference between requiring adherence in exchange for citizenship and requiring adherence or being executed--the latter being the result of every socialist-Marxist-communist progression that has ever occurred throughout history.
I believe the other cultural practice that become exponentially magnified and in vogue is to lionize any person for whom one votes and is elected to office. It's bad enough that most such elected representatives drink their own bathwater; must we join them in the libation? Those persons running for office are, in the end, just people like the rest of us. They have made a decision to run and to make the sacrifices associated with attaining office. Their sacrifices are made very public while the rest of us must make other sacrifices attendant with/to our life's work choices without such fanfare and for the most part in obscurity. Nevertheless they are no less important to those who rely on us.
Good ideas often have few supporters. Yet they can sometimes prevail. The American revolution, for instance, was never supported by a majority of colonists.
Ana, great points. I appreciate your realism mixed with optimism. I think there’s a strong case that if we understand and move toward sound money, the rest will fall into place. Sound money is the one economic mechanism missing from this otherwise strong article. Interestingly, I also believe there’s a strong case that the only hope starts with Christians more deeply studying the Bible. Indeed, there is a Biblical mandate for sound money, but sadly, most Christians don’t heed the mandate, if they even know it exists. The story must be told. As I said in other comments, and as this article states, it’s all about “story.” The founders and the Bible already told the story of the necessity of sound money. Christians just need to learn the story, and tell it over and over and over,
So true!
Except for the fact that it was written for a moral society.
Sadly 😥 we've lost that component!
Do you feel there is no way to bring back a better sense of morality here?
