The real “Wedge” issue is Capitalism vs Socialism/Communism. That is the real dilemma. Biden is a babbling husk puppet under control of the radical left. If Biden gets elected that is the end of the USA.

The Democrats/Marxists have a plan for America: First, we must accept “the new normal” and wear masks until their “medical experts” say we can remove them (clue: not any time soon). We must continue to isolate from supportive people, and be reeducated by media/swamp/experts. We must not engage in rational independent thought, especially conservative or Christian beliefs. We must surrender our guns; we must become hopeless, helpless and submissive. Then we must be individually tracked by cell phone technology in a national database for any viral infection, or any succeeding pathogen, no matter how benign. Finally, we must be shackled by our Democrat overlords who have “experts” and “science” on their side to mock our “Christian backwardness” and then alternatively promise to make us perpetually equal via “social justice.”
The political tactics of Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, Maduro, Saddam Hussein, Castro, Kim reign supreme in the Democrat Party. Beware of anyone who promises equality without responsibility, or safety without self-determination.

Missing one: life vs death. The left party believes that one should be “free” to murder the unborn, even the once-born, and to eliminate the terminally ill with or without consent. Human life is THE issue. The right, meaning correct, party, must vigorously defend the life of these marginalized humans, and acknowledge that every human being, made in the image and likeness of God, has dignity and the right to life.

Where to begin, so much to address so little space or time. For any of you who watch NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC news, etc., please stop. FOX has several very good stations and programs along with FOX Nation. OAN (One American News) is excellent. I have questioned the views of a few of the FOX hosts and contributors from time to time. Not so on OAN. FOX tries a bit over the top sometimes to be “fair and balanced”. I think they often shoot themselves in the foot by allowing some of these liberals to spew out their garbage. Typically OAN minimizes the “equal and balanced” thing and keeps on the straight and narrow. One really great show is on OAN at 8 pm, The Daily Ledger with Graham Ledger. Oh, by the way, I used to watch The Five on FOX at 5 pm faithfully but FOX refused to get rid of Juan Williams (watch him and see why). I switched to Lou Dobbs on the FOX Business nework. I miss The Five but I got tired of muting Juan Williams or fast forwarding through his rants. When you want to identify something counterfeit, study the real item. If you want fair and balanced you might as well watch NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC news, etc. That’s how to become a liberal.

The big issue was the economy, the democraps wanted it to crash and for the people to be dependent on the government. The people said f that open the economy back up and let’s get this back to normal and stop all the fear mongering. The fake news kept pushing that this virus was going to kill millions and the flu actually killed more than this virus did, but they were inflating the numbers by counting every single death that happened as a coronavirus related death. Instead of saying this person died of a heart attack, this person died of old age and so on.

The stark contrast between Republicans and Democrats has widened over this generation (~30 years). It appears that democrats have adopted a preference toward globalization over nationalism and I cannot consciously support loosing our hard-earned identity. These current democrats threaten most of our liberties and threaten our security. Their demands of open borders, weak representation, gun control, free trade (that actually isn’t free for America), defunding police, promoting racial tensions, and overall big-government control has created this rift in our country. It is my opinion that foreign influence is behind these democratic goals in an effort to dismantle America. The foreign donations and bribes are at our highest levels and exhibited by the corrupt Justice system under the Obama years and also the Biden -Ukraine deal recently exposed. This corruption involving dismantling Americas check & balance form of government has been under attack for some time as suggested. Overwhelming conservative and Nationalism support is imperative if we are to preserve our Nation.

Honestly, every single issue is one that will be decisive and divisive at the same time in my opinion. The drive to entirely change the identity of our great country is very far along and is extremely dangerous. The steps from removing our history, to replacing it, opening borders, eliminating law and order, creating chaos, and having a state run media, are all leading to Marxism, then communism!! The liberals must be stopped! A major civil war is brewing in America and the silent majority can no longer afford to be silent!

It is SIN, plain and simple. It bad to see that only 6% of American adults hold on to a biblical world view. Only 51% have a traditional view of God. Used to be 73% in1991. Secular humanism is now the religion. It all started in the 60’s. God is now an afterthought. The church is also to blame to as most sermons are basically psychologically feel good stuff. There is no talk of heaven, hell, satan, sin, and most of all repentance. Which the last thing I just said is not happening. In all this, there is a lot of going back to God, but, no repentance. This is also God bringing all things to a close. He is about to bring true justification upon the world.
