\u201cA DEFICIT OF COMMON SENSE,\u201d OR SOMETHING MUCH WORSE? WHAT’S AT THE ROOT OF WHAT’S WRONG IN AMERICA?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s forfeiture of common sense began in the 1960\u2019s. Until just recently an almost full-scale forfeiture of common sense seemed inevitable in light of how easily and quickly Woke-craziness was dominating every level of our society. Men openly dressed up as women were seated on President Biden\u2019s cabinet and holding office elsewhere in his administration. Top ranking military officers who were biological men wore teased-up hair, dresses and heavy make up as they minced before our sailors and soldiers saluting and being saluted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson, whose very consideration as a candidate brought the nation\u2019s highest court to a new low, when asked if there is any difference between a man and a woman, refused to answer on the grounds of being confused by the question. Parents permitted elementary school through high school aged children to undergo permanent, irreversible, \u201cgender transition surgeries,\u201d that have led, only a few years later, to across-the-board regret by practically all of these children and the suicides of a great many of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s greatest abominations have taken place primarily, almost exclusively, whenever and wherever Democrats have held political power, and it is vital that Americans acknowledge and address this appropriately at the ballot box. Surely it is significant that, of the following all but one of these abominations occurred under Democrat presidencies and when Democrats were in the majority in Congress (Richard Nixon was President in 1973, but Democrats controlled Congress).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Prayer outlawed in public schools [Engel v. Vitale, 1962]\u2014John F. Kennedy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 The Bible removed from classrooms [Abington School District v. Schempp, 1963]\u2014Lyndon Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 The killing of unborn babies\u2014abortion legalized [Roe v. Wade, 1973]\u2014Richard Nixon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Display of The Ten Commandments prohibited in schools and courthouses [Stone v. Graham, 1980]\u2014Jimmy Carter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Same-sex marriage legalized [Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015]\u2014Barach Obama<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u201cSpecial rights\u2019 for transgender and other sodomites granted under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [Bostock v. Clayton County, 2020].\u2014Barach Obama<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the collapse of common sense in America, and the dismantling of America by Democrats is merely the fruit of something much deeper and darker than Democrat policies or woke ideology. The root of America\u2019s problem is sin that has been allowed to morph into wickedness; wickedness which has been allowed to metastasize into evil; and evil that is now manifesting itself in the form of things which are an abomination to God such as sodomy, transgenderism and cross dressing (Lev. 18:22; Deut. 22:5; 1 Thess. 5:22).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christians have their place and duty in America\u2019s political arena. But it must be kept uppermost in mind that our nation\u2019s great problems are spiritual in nature and can only be dealt with in ways that are spiritual by those who are equipped spiritually to deal with them. This means that churches must judge themselves unsparingly, and Christians must individually do the same thing (1 Pet. 4:17; 2 Cor. 13:5; Matt. 5:3-16; 1 Pet. 1:16; 2:9; Eph. 6:10-18).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
