I have lived under totalitarian Communism, so I prize freedom as much as anyone and have long fought for freedom of conscience and speech.
From Os Guinness
American democracy in the past has always been known for its large middle class and its relatively few very wealthy people and very few very poor people, but that is gone to today and the middle class is shrinking.
I'm obviously not an advocate of Christian America or a simplistic view of America as 'a city on a hill.'
As I understand the American Founders, the most brilliant and daring idea they had was that it's possible to create a free society that could stay free forever.
There are lots of people depending on the government who are good, honest citizens who have worked all their lives.
The American 'unum' has been lost since the Sixties. If this continues, there will soon be no unifying American identity and vision to balance the 'pluribus,' and the days of the Republic will be numbered.
