No number of years of "conservative" rule from Washington is going to make even the slightest bit of difference. That is because the problem is not at its core who the rulers du jour in Washington are.

The core of the problem is that the foundational check on the powers of the Federal Government in our system is, or at least was, the Sovereignty of the States in domestic affairs. The Constitutional separation of powers between the departments of the Federal Government were never intended to restrict its powers in the absence of pre-eminent States. And, naturally they do not accomplish this goal.

So rally around the latest national party offering. Get out the vote for the "real conservative" inthe race. But don't expect anything to change until a majority of the voting citizens again understand how the system was constructed.

Well, you're starting to point to our core issues which are spiritual. I'll share an earlier post about our origins and what I think it really takes in the long run to heal our country and recover and maintain our freedoms:

America is a Christian nation and the freedoms we have come from Christian values and principles. Take Christianity away from America and soon Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness will also be gone (as we see being phased out now).

People get confused about the free exercise of religion and Congress not establishing religion. This confusion is encouraged by the liberals who love confusion and have used the Jeffersonian metaphor to trump the U.S. Constitution itself, because the liberals HATE the Constitution and HATE your freedom.

The establishment of religion is Congress ("the state") interfering with religion. The church may want the state to establish a church or not, it doesn't matter. Congress is constitutionally prohibited from doing so. Period. However, the free exercise of religion should be in every nook in cranny inside and outside Washington D.C. and everywhere else. The monuments in that great city testify against the lies about Christianity in government. Our country grew up and thrived with Christian practice all over the government. And the Constitution prohibits any interference with the free exercise of religion anywhere, as long as it is a peaceful exercise.

The Christian church, God’s people, has the means of helping and healing nations. Revelation 22:2 presents a symbolic picture of the benefits of God's people, the Church, in government when it shows that the leaves of the tree of life, symbolically found in God's people, the Bride, the Church, heal the nations.

Well, that is true. A debauched people will not send many modern day Madisons, Wilsons, Randolphs to Congress and La Casa Blanca.

As long as the citizens and illegals and the dead send Weiners, Wasserman-Shutlzs, and Sheila Jackson Lees, there is little hope for a renewal.
