Pfft, I know you Texans are watching Sex and the City re-runs and tuning into those Kardashians.
osan, your points are well put and taken with me. I agree, we don't truly realize what we have. I'm currently reading "Live not by Lies" by Rod Dreher that discusses people's reflections living in the old Soviet Bloc that now live in the U.S.
In the first chapter, the author said one of his interviewees said it was critically important Americans be taught about Communism because everything happening today is what happened as the commies took over in their countries (ostracizing, division, etc.). He noted another interviewee said, and I'm going by memory here, "Americans can't be taught at this stage, it's too late. They need to experience communism to realize its horrors."
When I see what's going on in the U.S. today, it's very clear we have oligarchs sowing division down to the masses; the ignorant masses feuding with one another; half of the ignorant masses have fallen for communist policies of redistribution, etc. and now we are changing our language, changing our genders, etc. and are being taught its all normal, despite it all going against simple biology and nature.
Communism is a tool of evil in this world. And I can't help but think that the decline of genuine Christian believers in this country directly coincides with the advances of atheist communism in this country. To the irreligious on that last point, I understand that may come off as eye rolling to you, but it's just my personal take as I myself step back into Christianity.
