TO THE EDITOR:
My understanding of truth is that it is simply "the correct interpretation of reality." So, in my own life, I always try to strip away the blurring veneers created by bias, spin, and the rose colored glasses etc., so I can correctly understand life's realities and thereby make good decisions.
In applying that method to today's America, here's how I have come to interpret her present reality. We are in one more huge "pickle."
Our president is entirely clueless and careless. Our law makers are often law breakers. Our jurisprudence is in shreds. The needle is missing from our moral compass. The church is largely out to lunch. Our younger generations, as a whole, don't know their head from a hole in the ground. Our national courage now cowers before Dr. Fauci's every pronouncement. Our borders are collapsing and our dollar is quickly following suit. Our largest minority has become uninvested illegal aliens. China has the key to the safe which holds our intellectual and technological properties. And, our "worker bees" no longer do. They just stand by the mail box and wait for their government check.
So, the unveneered reality seems to be this. Our once prosperous, stable, and world leading western democracy is now on the verge of spinning completely out of control and maybe out of existence. And, how could we not, if this is the best leadership we can produce and the best citizens we can be.
My view of reality is that we are now in the throes of making either a passive or a decisive national choice. It seems either we will choose to passively double down on the devilish liberal stupidity which brought us to this place. Or, we will decisively choose to return, with heart-felt respect, to the only being in the Universe big enough to avert this now imminent American catastrophe - that being almighty God.
The root mistake which has spawned all of our national troubles is the belief that even the most minimal investment in God's druthers satisfies Him. That is, however, a profoundly flawed interpretation of reality.
