A Divide America
By
Roger Behra
The national election of 2008, November 4, in America is now history. And the graphic conclusion is this: America is quite evenly divided between conservative and liberal. The conservatives are Republicans and the liberals are Democrat. In a nation made up of over 200,000,000 people, evenly divided means there are millions of liberal out there. And when the electronic and print media lean very far to the left (liberal side), it is very difficult to have a unified population. The direction leans very much in the direction of the liberals. And now that the American people have a new President, the liberal lean is going to be very far to the left, indeed. As a senator President Obama always voted very far to the left.
A conservative is one who favors the established order of society and not liking change, especially change away from the good moral, and wholesome way of living. Conservatism is the belief that the established order of society should be kept as possible and that change should take place slowly and only to improve society. Conservatism embraces all the elements that are culturally good and very beneficial to all. God is very important. All the established moral and social laws are important. A strong family life that practices good morality, hard work, honesty, and the four areas of human development (mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical) are the foundation of success in every person’s life. Conservatism believes in very strong core values.
A liberal is one who readily accepts change, especially in religious, political, and social ideas, and favors a wide variety of self-expression. Liberalism is the belief that a person can reject God, that laws can be ignored or made up as one goes along in life, that family life is much more fluid and does not have set discipline, that immorality is a so what accepted way of daily life, and that anyone can make changes in their life no matter what to suite individual thinking and ideas. A liberal has no real core values.
The last really conservative generation came to age in 1945. The next generation (1946-1963) was brought up conservative, but they gave it up when the counter-culture movement began in 1964. At that time the rapidly accepted liberal society and the slow decline in American culture began to what we have today. The American culture and society of today (2008) is in full bloom headed very much in the wrong direction. And all the thanks go to the Baby Boomers who started it all. They were clueless then and are clueless still, after 40 some years. And their offspring are clueless carrying on what they originated in 1964.
So, what is the present shape of the American culture today? It is absolutely not good. Presently, they have given the American people a very bad economy, very high unemployment, high job losses to China, very high rent and home costs, many, many taxes and fees, caused high gasoline prices, high food prices, a high divorce rate (1 out of 2 marriages), same-sex marriages, widespread immorality, a dysfunctional school system full of major discipline problems, anything goes type of personal appearance (tattoos galore and cleavage with half-bare breasts and jeans so tight on females no imagination needed), over-crowded prisons, a high murder rate, low church attendance, and a national debt so high that China practically owns America. And the greediness and impolite behavior of Americans defies the imagination. The self-glorification of millions of Americans runs rampant everywhere. The American culture is in a very undesirable condition.
None of the above mentioned in the preceding paragraph existed prior to the counter-culture movement that started in the mid-sixties. The Baby-Boomers and their offspring gave it all to the American culture. Now the American culture is very economically troubled and spiritually and morally bankrupt. The Americans who really care feel betrayed. They (conservatives) feel betrayed by the Baby-Boomers and their liberal offspring. And to make matters worse, they helped elect a new president who leans very far to the left with socialistic thinking and plans. President Obama is ready to compliment the clueless liberal congress already in position in Washington. The stage is set now for America to head in the direction of deeper division and disarray. It is more than just troubling. The American future is going to be more divided, more disarrayed, and to put it mildly, disastrous.
Now, it is time for Baby-Boomers to retire. And a large number of the clueless ones cannot retire. It’s too expensive out there in retirement land. Well? What did they expect? They were so wrapped up in their clueless liberal thinking for 40 plus years they didn’t have a clue to look down the road to see what was coming around the bend for them. Their liberalism, greed, and lack of core-values are biting them-hard.
One fact of the counter-culture movement not readily acknowledged is this. When that movement started, God was pushed aside. And to fill the void Satan moved in full force. Now, Satan is operating non-stop around the clock in America. It is clearly evident in the behavior of the age groups 10 through 64. The evidence is all around us in the schools, families, and the public sector. The results of satanic activity are reported so very often, each and every day-the violence, the corruption, and the frequent and unthinkable murders. Yes, the evidence of demonic activity, and even demonic possession, is quite apparent throughout the American culture.
