The left has worked and worked hard to erode these principles in our universities, our churches and our television screens. Rather than griping every time Trump zigs left when he should've zagged right, let's start to make the positive arguments for liberty we will need voters to understand come 2020 and beyond.Read more here.
This is a good moment politically. Good things may come of it. But don't confuse political victories with victories of principle. America's public, its youth, and its friends have been schooled in ignorance of conservative basics for 60 years. That ignorance didn't go away on election day. We should begin the hard work of ending it now.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
