^^ All solid statements Hoot.

Unfortunately what we're seeing is our own reflection in history's mirror. And that reflection is directly correlative to the deteriorated state of our culture. To wit by way of comparison the forces driving the left, from the lowliest 'useful idiot rioters' all the way up to their congressional sponsors, much more resemble the thrill which drives arsonists and vandals to do their dirty work, than any remote likeness to the noble personal sacrifices of our founding fathers. 

The cause of Christianity and therefore conservatism can be furthered at the ballot box this time around to be sure. But it is the people's predilection for liberalism that has the US on the ropes. Ultimately only a return to the Church can restore this nation's sense of right and wrong. At that point once again as in times past, politicians won't need to vie for votes through promises of favors to the people. The people's hearts will be enlightened and therefore not for sale. And let me be clear, this isn't a war between Democrats and Republicans at all. It is rather this nation's struggle pursuant to having turned her back on the Godly tenets of the Church. Thus in maters of election law and every other law, in place of the clearly defined statutes that created the order which once characterized American life, now exists the daily barrage of lies and arguments which nobody can win. Hopeless gridlock. The restoration of America's sanity is inexorably linked to the condition of her heart.
