“Decades ago, Christians, conservatives and anyone against the insanity of political correctness ceded the three major megaphones of our nation to the far-left. Those megaphones being the media, entertainment, and academia.”
This is the epic failure in a nutshell. Complacency, coupled with a lack of understanding just how serious the threat was as the left infiltrated and took control of these things is the reason this country is disintegrating. The left had a long-term battle plan, conservatives did not.
Conservatives assumed sanity, reasonableness, morality and decency were so built into the bedrock of this nation that it couldn’t be undone. Conservatives went about thier lives, while the left was mounting a determined, methodical, relentless assault on the United States of America. Can this country be saved?

I beg Christians to chill out here and look to what kind of spiritual fire they are keeping going at their own churches. That’s what’s going to ignite the world, if it consents to be ignited. Beating on an unbelieving world for being unbelieving seems like beating on a dog for barking or a cat for meowing. That’s what they do.
Lets have Merry Christmases that really MEAN it because there’s something more than formality and inertia behind them, and then we have the ones that count.
The left think it’s ok for Islam here in our country to have their Allah, and call it religious freedom, but Christians must give up their Savior Jesus.
The left in our country are evil. They have sold their soul for power.
The irony here is that the myth of Santa Claus has done more to undermine the Christian influence in Christmas than anything these PC secularists have done.
Why should I believe this poll and the inferences made from it any more than the pre-election polls of 2016? Or, for that matter, the polls that were all over the place in the Alabama Senate Race?
Do not be disheartened by the poll. Ideas are not moved be the majority, but by a committed minority. That is why we have gotten to where we are today. The secular Left has been more committed and motivated than those 80% who claim to be Christian. It is time we got off our comfortable backsides and follow the command of Jesus: Go and make disciples of all nations. And yes, this does means reasserting our places in the media, entertainment, and academia.
Christmas has been primarily a merchants’ holiday as long as I can remember. The vast majority of people don’t think of Christ. We are more aware of this now, but it was not much different when I was a kid.
Keep the Mass in Christmas.
