In the past you, or one of your predecessors, said that other faith groups can be mentioned in a Caucus as long as was of historical nature and not a doctrinal issue.
I believe this article does just that. If I am wrong please remove the caucus status.
Calvin founded capitalism?
If capitalism is supposed to be something above and beyond ordinary market freedom, I’d be really interested in what that extra dimension is. It sounds so much like giving glory to dollars rather than the Deity. I’m not sure even Calvin would go for that.
Being a Democrat mouthpiece, the New Republic just couldn't resist equating past expansion of liberties to religion, racism and classism.
For those of us with Calvinist settler roots, this is the truth of America which a determined group of newcomers have worked hard for the past century or so to extinguish.
America is the expression of the Reformation and the Englightenment, buttressed by the political evolution of Britain especially.
We are now far away from that, and just in the last 50 years as the determined assault on our basic beliefs and culture came to fruition.
At some point, those of us who remember the old America need to ask: are we bound by the attitudes and initiatives of the newcomers? Those who came to disestablish our egalitarian and morally driven nation?
We are told repeatedly that we should extend tolerance to all because that is our creed too. Maybe so, but when the legal and social aspects of our creed are simply snuffed out by their votes, their judicial decrees, their cultural and legal norms....are we still in our nation?
Are we powerless to re-establish that success which attracted them here, only to undermine it?
This is the ascendant question for the Americans...whether our land and nation is still ours...or simply vanished. And do we simply shrug and live with that?
