It is a clash of world-views. Those who believe in the Creator God of the Bible, the immutable standards of His moral law, and a Judgment Day to come are on one side. On the other side are all the rest: those foolish ideologues I described as well as the demonically inspired socialists who really do want to destroy America. This whole thing began way back in the Garden of Eden, when Satan the Serpent told Adam and Eve, “You shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” That is the modern Democrat. He can’t accept the true Creator God, so he lives as if he were his own god, doing everything according to his own knowledge of good and evil. Since Satan the master deceiver is behind it, most Democrats don’t even realize that their knowledge of good and evil is twisted, contrary to what is true and right.

Democrats are “liberal,” which used to mean merely generous and now means generous with other people’s money. Many of them actually think they are helping people by taking from the rich and giving to the poor. They feel that the primary purpose of government is the “redistribution of wealth,” as if the economy were a limited pie and it is their job to make sure everyone gets an equal slice, or as if they can make the poor richer by making the rich poorer. They want to enforce equality of outcomes regardless of one’s individual efforts, abilities, or life choices. They really do not understand Satan’s goals here, which are to enslave everyone in poverty and tyranny, bring torment and despair, and ultimately destroy the nation and all its people – and doubly so because he knows that America was founded on Biblical principles and Satan is filled with hate for God and His Holy Bible.

Well, I am a conservative. Conservatives don’t want to redistribute the wealth, they want to grow the pie. We want a system of equal opportunities, so that everyone who wants to work hard and avoids self-destructive life choices can get rich - the richer the better. We want a system that rewards good character - integrity, hard work, loyalty, and kindness - and that penalizes bad character - lies, laziness, cheating, and stealing. It’s called the free market place, as defined by our founding fathers in our Constitution. We want our government to do what we hired it to do and stop moving the goal posts in the middle of the game. Most of all we want the freedom to live according to our conscience and the unchanging standards of God’s moral law, without our government insisting that everything holy and right is now prohibited in public and everything evil and unjust is now a legally protected “freedom of expression” or “right to privacy” and thus supported by our tax dollars.

I like America the way it was in World War II, the “greatest generation,” when America and a few allies rid the world of the most evil empire in modern history. We were the powerhouse of the world then, with unbounded energy, enthusiasm, patriotism, and faith in God that our cause was just. We were willing to fight and die to preserve liberty and prosperity for generations to come. And, in case you’ve forgotten, we were all proud of being a Christian nation back then! We valued Christian moral principles like integrity, hard work, moral fidelity, and clean living. Back then, “a man‘s word was his bond,” and politicians who lied to us or behaved immorally were voted out of office. We were generous – with our own time and money! We were glad to teach the Bible in public schools, post the Ten Commandments on the wall, encourage public prayers of repentance for our national sins, and implore God’s blessings upon our nation. We were a shining light on a hill, giving people all over the world hope that someday, they too may come to America and achieve the American dream. But if America’s light goes out, if America’s greatness is lost, tell me, where can they go?
