I think extremists lead us to get bogged down in non-essentials. If Bruce Jenner comes to the conclusion he was supposed to have been a woman, the nation is not threatened. But while we are yelling at each other about who can pee where, our infrastructure continues to deteriorate, other nations are implementing high speed rail, etc. Extremism has yanked the process away from "roll up the sleeves" pragmatism into a world where symbolic acts of solidarity with the extremists matter more than solving problems via the art of politics.

There we have it folks. Start off with a shred of truth and come to a completely irrational conclusion in defense of liberalism. I believe one is being extreme, when they (libs) lie their heads off to make those various defenses. Even going to the extent of dragging the intentions of the founders into it. But as Seger mentioned, there is an even greater trespass associated with all this, that is the good versus evil. And that is in distorting the truths of God's Word in order to justify things like sloth and homosexuality. Government cannot regulate such things and not remain uncorrupted for having so done. It's one thing to allow policy like DADT, which though not endorsing such behavior, does not take a position of support of same, but it is quite another question to make law in support of it.

So, we have even gone to the incredible length of using man's law to overrule God's law. The federal government has thusly become the supreme arbiter and definer, even to the point of usurping the rightful role and the authority of the Church, to regulate and administer rights in contravention of God's Word. Government cannot treat the sexually deviant as a protected class. But, the genie is out and as I have said this election will say a lot about how much longer the US has left.

One man put it like this, "We're going down the drain. The only question is are we in that outer vortex moving slowly enough so as to possibly escape it's immediate pull for a while? Or are we already partially down the drain with no hope at all?" To my way of thinking, if 'the people' reject Hillary and liberalism this time, maybe we're in the outer part of the vortex and we can maybe escape for a season, to survive and do the Lord's work a while longer.
