Almost nothing is more important than deeply rooted general Christian goodness in a nation's population!
Proverbs 14:34: Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.
In India not many years ago there were some rapes of women occurring on public buses. A few. It made the news. (It was a scandal even there in India, so I am not saying they are a nation of bad people.) That meant that the men in that place and time within the large nation of India, who were the involved wicked rapists, felt safe in committing a rape in so public a place as a city bus, and it meant that they thought that no one else on the bus would become outraged and intervene, and in fact they got away with doing it, so that meant that they were right in their calculations of what their local society would tolerate! Were there no fathers and no husbands or brothers on that bus?
If that were an American bus, if a rape attempt had occurred on an an American bus, and it had been mostly full of off duty undercover policemen, I am sure that would not have happened. If the rapists had begun to try to commit their rape on some poor woman, the bus full of undercover policemen would have made them very sorry indeed, I think. If it had been full of American NFL football players I feel sure also. If it had been full of American MMA fighters I likewise feel it would not have been tolerated. If the bus would have been full of farmers or cowboys or lumberjacks or construction workers I feel the same. Or truckers or carpenters. But you know what? I think that if the American bus was full of American female MMA fighters the same would have happened...they would have tore up those rapists. I believe that even a bus full of women attending a Mary Kay convention would have decided they weren't going to sit by and watch that, and they would have done something. They may not have intervened as forcefully and with as much certitude as the bus full of undercover off duty policemen, but I think they would have plucked up their courage and done something. Maybe I am even underestimating them; maybe they would have intervened with the force and fury of outraged savages! But my claim is that our Judeo-Christian training about what is right and what constitutes wrong would have driven us, even if we were fearful and not really cut from heroic cloth, to take action lest we live in shame the rest of our life for having stood by idle. Not all deterring public responses look so very pretty. They might be sort of halting and weak at first. But they can get the job done. They can make it so that no matter where in America you decide to commit a high profile public crime, you better count on there being resistance. Hopefully it is strong resolute action packed resistance. But maybe it will be 'not so impressive looking' resistance. At any rate, criminals tend to not commit crimes where they are highly unlikely to get away with it. And a national populace, a responsible citizenry that knows that it is their job to stand up and be counted when it's time to fight crime and oppose evil, is a huge deterrence.
Where does this idea come from, in a regular work-a-day sort of person, that they need to stand up and be the one that tries to put a stop to badness if they happen upon it, or if it occurs near them by chance? It must be instilled early, deeply, and by many. You can choose to teach your young to avoid all conflicts, to stay out of other people's problems, to look to their own safety first and foremost. But you shouldn't. The courage to oppose wrong doing must be taught by parents first and foremost, and by siblings and relatives, and by fellow children and their parents, and by television and radio and the internet and book themes and plots, and by schools and churches. If all of those sources teach that you don't look for trouble, you don't cause trouble, but you take a stand against wrongness and you intercede for those being mistreated and you stop those committing crimes if it happens around you, then there is basically nowhere in that nation where it is a smart idea to commit crimes. And in consequence, you ought to have a pretty good nation and society to live your life in. A Christian nation and a Christian society. The Good Samaritan crossed the road to make things right, and he righted things as best he was able at his own expense. Jesus shared these concepts.
There is no guarantee that a crime or a horrible offense will take place in the presence of a band of heroic action figures. Most crimes take place in secret, or in the vicinity and presence of ordinary people. And so, it is the ordinary person that must, on the average, be someone who will stand up and try to prevent wrongness if they can. Criminals fear to commit crimes in the vicinity of people they estimate will try to put a stop to their criminal efforts. We all know that there are more attempts to rob convenience stores in bad neighborhoods than to rob known police watering holes where police might typically get together to have a drink after their shift. Evil hides from proactive, firmly determined goodness. Criminals don't like to do their work where crime doesn't pay.
We have found out that top Democrats have a lot of crooks within their ranks. Apparently they look around at their peers and think, "This is a group whose average level of honesty and goodness is so very low, I ought to be able to set up a fraud ring. And on the average my Democrat peers are so dishonest that they will either take part or at least keep their mouth shut." It is honestly rare to find a large group in America that is that dishonest. We are a Christian nation and you can't set up a graft and corruption scheme, a crime strategy for systematic theft of US taxes, in a group of actual Christians. Their consciences would rebel, they know what their family and more importantly their Lord would think. It is simply deeply distilled within the Christian faith that you can't be a professional criminal.
Our way back is pretty simple. It is a heavy lift, but it is pretty straight forward. The Democrat Party is too crooked to be fixed and that just has to be openly admitted. They have the group morals of the Indian men on the rape bus. And the Republican Party must be cleaned up extensively; many of them are dirty on a nearly Democrat scale. Many politicians and NGO leaders must lose their positions. Many people simply have to go to jail. There is no other fix if we want to keep 'traditional America'. There has to be a big crime purge and a general dismantling of the crime infrastructure. The Trump team seems to be doing many good things in that area. It is one thing to uncover crime, but another to judicially try and to then jail criminals on a huge national scale so that a fear of committing crimes is actually instilled in our legislators and government officials. Are we a big enough nation, a resolute enough nation, to do what would have to be done? Or is it too late for America? I think we could purge out our government and try to make a much cleaner start. The enemies of such a process would be Democrat law makers, the corruptions among the liberals. and white well educated liberal women. White well educated liberal women are numerous, insane on several important topics, effortlessly triggered by government Corrupticons who have long and thoroughly studied how to manipulate them, and they can essentially only be edified by themselves and by other white, well educated liberal women. They can only choose to adjust their thinking through thoughts and statements arising from within their own group, in other words. So I think we need national Christian prayer for white, well educated liberal women. They have the right to vote, and they are a linchpin, a crucial under-girding, of most of Satan's political plans in the US. They can reliably be whipped into screaming out their support for things they actually have the intelligence to identify as bad and negative things, because a good satisfying group scream is a monumentally exciting moment for them, and very fulfilling. The pleasure of participating in a really good one over-rides nearly all other considerations.
The big enemy is corruption and crookedness in the American election process. That ABSOLUTELY must be fixed. But once it is fixed, we can still be voted down 'Satan's path for all of mankind' by white, well educated liberal women consistently voting for the wickeder path each election cycle. We have to get them talking among themselves about the importance of national decency and the necessity of Christian fundamentals in our society even if they themselves may decide not to be Christian believers. Whether they are Christian or not, they do not want to be passengers on the bad bus in India. They should remember that a rising tide lifts all boats...including their boats! They need to take a good look at where our mutually enjoyed national blessings spring from: they spring from the Holy Father and from those who try to please the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Even should it be the case that our well educated liberal white women are only along for the ride when it comes to our Christian heritage, they really must be implored to consider how very much of our national success comes from us trying to imitate and please Jesus, and how much of their own personal well being depends on it, or at least derives from it, also. White, liberal, well educated women are great beneficiaries of our Christian heritage, as we Americans all are. Encouragingly, I have heard some of them with high platforms begin to acknowledge that as a truth.
Why identify white, liberal, well educated women as a genuine danger to the fundamentals our American Republic relies upon? It came out last year as a statistic that when there is a marriage in which the wife has a bachelors degree or above, if there is a divorce in that marriage it is that highly educated woman who files for it nine times out of ten. Terrifying. That statistic made me very depressed. And as for the white liberal part, I have been watching 'Karens' on videos for a few years now, and they are so often educated white women, frequently with purple, orange, blue or green hair, acting out in rationally untethered ways against things that inflame their passions. Then there are the feminist rallies and the things said on the signs they carry and the things they scream. I have just come to realize that feminism is a powerful destroyer but a very poor builder.
Philosophy is for after the cows are milked.
Liberal philosophies are not always poorly intended, but when the loudest voices espousing them do not understand the importance of maintaining the relied upon, necessary and healthy fundamentals which the general welfare of their own nation relies upon for its security...liberals can do genuine long lasting harm to their own nation.
