and the Bible - God gave man free will. That free will/Right is to succeed or fail - in relationship to how, why, and what you apply to your life. Much can be said for the ‘dysfunction’ of the family - but statistic after statistic proves that an intact family produces better outcomes for all involved:We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
You dumb down one generation - and give it money (to help them get by) and the next doesn’t even get that far - we know how far THAT down the road we are since the 1930s.
Now imagine how really far down the road TO GREATNESS we would be - if the New Deal and the explosion of entitlements of the 60s - never happened.
The shame of it, is that some people seem to be blind to the destruction that entitlements cause and that our political class does not care enough to even begin to fix the mess created.
However,
78.4% of Americans identify themselves as Christian.
41% of Americans identify themselves as Conservative. (and no, that doesn’t translate into 50%+ as being liberal - only 21% in the poll identified themselves as liberal).
We The People still have a fighting chance.
