"Moreover, the moral perspective that goes with this prevailing ideological view is all too often that of people who see themselves as being on the side of the angels against the forces of evil..." Sadly the exact opposite is true, the angels they represent are the ones that rebelled against God and are leading them into destruction, taking our nation with them. May the consequences fall hardest on their own heads.

There is a veil over the eyes of the lost in this country, those ruling and those that vote for them. They refuse to see God and follow his precepts and their punishment is coming upon them. And since they're now a majority they're taking America down with them. A wise man sees the coming storm and prepares for it. The trial of the Philly abortion doctor highlights how the streets of America run red with blood of the innocent which will not go unpunished. And those like Obama that take the Lord's name in vain by uttering the words "god bless you" at a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood will not go unpunished either. "The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord", and may I add the fear of His justice finding you which is an...

Taxes are a greater evil even. Studies show that conservatives give more money to charities that have a positive impact on our world, and higher taxes take away from what money is left to be given to charity. Big government liberals want government to be that charity, but all government does is squander our money while creating a class of dependents who are capable of working and supporting themselves. They taunt love for others, but they show they have no love as they're happy to waste lives for their own selfish ambition and power. Why else do they dumb down our school system to guarantee more dependents while stifling economic development. Even a government worker with genuine love to help is stifled by the bureaucracy they create.

The bottom line is those illegals are votes so the left can hold power. They pretty much have a lock on the vote along with what they can do fraudulently. There aren't enough good men and women left to stop this perversion of our country. Frankly, perhaps its time that America get taken down. The streets have run red with the blood of the innocent highlighted by the trial of abortion doctor in Philadelphia, and immoral men run the country stealing money while immorality in our society flourishes. Did God ignore His chosen people Israel when they did the same, or did he rise up conquerors to take them off into slavery as their just punishment? A wise man would prepare an exit strategy.

Individuals still have choice, and many are led astray by things that happened to them in life or as a result of compounded bad choices.. Was your sister molested when young? That seems to be a big one the fallen angels use to ruin human lives as I had an aunt in my own family that fell victim. However, one particular example doesn't take away from the point Dr. Sowell was making about environment and hard work. In this life there really is no substitute to hard work whether in school or in your career. Many people that don't succeed are that way because they didn't put in the work and/or didn't have parents who required them to put in the early educational work. But its never too late unless you're content to live off others stolen income.

I used a gun to defend myself when my front door was kicked in at 4:30am. Luckily for the would be intruders the sound of me racking a round was enough to send them running and they didn't enter the door or I would have shot them. I also used my gun to persuade a large elk to stop walking up the trail towards me on the lost coast of California. When he walked up within 25 ft of me eating along the trail with his big rack I thought it best to fire a round safely into the ground with the hope the sound would run him off. It was successful as he ran up the hill and shook his head. As our society becomes more immoral and the respect for life decreases, we citizens desperately need our guns to defend ourselves from two and four legged animals.

Great column, as scripture is the most important source of knowledge for man because it gives the rules for this creation as given by the Creator. The beginning of knowledge is fear of the Lord, because God will repay people for their sin unless they repent and take Him up on His offer of substitutionary atonement and follow Him. Trying to twist scripture and mislead people into living a sinful lifestyle in wilful disobedience will not only destroy them but those responsible. As Jesus, God among us said, "whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

The point is clear and Romans 1 makes it more abundantly clear. God made nature of which homosexuality is an abomination by itself when you look at the specifics of the act, and spiritually homosexuality is wrong because its human beings succumbing to unnatural lust. Trying to twist scripture and mislead people will get you into more trouble than just being homosexual, and it won't ease your God given conscience that is telling you its wrong. Of course as Romans 1 lets you know there is time when you will sear your conscience and open yourself up to far worse sin. And the wages of sin is death.

I give up as if you get anyone elected to office trying to do the right thing and telling the truth, both parties try to destroy them. You have all these miscreants chasing title and power who in the end are the most pathetic people in the nation walking around acting like they're some kind of celebrity. Moreover, we have a wicked media system that promotes their own delusional agenda to mislead the population that is becoming more and more clueless. All we can do is prepare an exit strategy to one of the countries higher on the list of economic freedom than the United States before we end up like Cypress. The one positive is that God will repay these miscreants for what they've done and for all the lives they've harmed.

The problem isn't the career politicians, but the voters that re-elect these miscreants. The numbers don't lie, and just a little time looking at the debt numbers, that our country doesn't pass a budget, and we spend well above what we take in should be enough for any reasonable person to not pick our current leaders that were re-elected. But we have too many people voting that are delusional about their own lives not to mention how the country is being run. But rest assured time is running out and the wise will leave before before the house of cards crumbles down on those responsible. Every man's sin will find him because God will make it so, unless of course you take Him up on His offer of Grace and repent.
