BTW...Don’t think for a second I am afraid to pick up my sword too....for I will be first in line to do so when it is right to do so.
Pretty much what the article is trying to say is that grassroots christian and political organizations cannot compete with what they accomplished in the past and perhaps putting much energy into these things will sap strength from other areas where energy should be applied. The culture needs to be re-Christianized and that starts with the family and the typical “family” is in sad shape.
Afterall, and I dont expect a 20 something or 30 something conservative to understand this. But a snowball of human secularism, mans turning away from God, has been rolling downhill at us for 50 years, and it is only picking up more speed, and accumulating more victories. In other words, a door that was intending to swing full open, was only being stopped by an innefectual door stop(Christianity and Republican Party) and for those with eyes to see that ineffectual doorstop has already failed and looks pretty sad and hopeless.
A door intending to swing full open, is 90% there.
We have lost the culture war.
What we are waiting for is an unexpected event, a “black swan” event, an enabling event, whereby this present order gets overturned. Worldwide economic collapse works very well in this scenario, but it wont be pretty.
