We were once a Christian nation. Let’s not forget it.

Realistically, does it make sense that a child raised for nearly two decades in a home by parents who espouse conservative beliefs would turn into a liberal or Leftist?

No–there’s no good reason for this to happen, providing that the parents were good examples who actually lived the values they constantly spoke about.

Yes, it makes absolute sense. Just consider the parable of the prodigal son.

People are bad by nature. They have to be taught to be rightgeous. It does not always stick, especially in a debauched society.

Sending youngsters to leftist indoctrination centers to be "educated" does not help.

I find that taking a break from the outrage machine that passes for news today greatly helps my mental health. That includes even articles on FR. I just take Sundays off to focus on my family.

I thought I noticed a collective sigh of relief from much of the “conservative” movement when the steal was sealed. They couldn’t sell their outrage so easily in a climate of success and prosperity.

“Because we have not mastered ourselves, we tend to lash out in judgment at those who are more wrong on the issues than we are. This is not the way to win over those who can be won over.”

Well, it’s more like being sympathetic to people who don’t know they are wrong than it is about lashing out in judgment. Any more than lashing out in judgment at an errant child.

Everybody is a victim now. White men complain as much as black women did 30 years ago. We have simply become more like the people we told should stop complaining. It doesn’t mean we are not unfairly treated. It means someone needs to act like an adult in a world where more and more refuse to grow up.
