Why our country is such a mess...
maybe the same reason the Republican Party is the way it is: they have no vision--no understanding of the principles which founded this country, no understanding of the evil that is assaulting us, and where it will lead if we don't stop it (and so far we're not), no understanding of how to stop the evil, no ability to individually stand against the tide, a really bad case of group-think, no understanding of the Bible or how to apply Biblical principles to current situations, a severe ignorance of current events from anything but the perspective of mainstream media (including pseudo-conservative sources like Fox news) and liberal media, they are controlled by people who are liars, and who are using them to achieve and maintain their power, and maybe because they are seeking power themselves, instead of seeking truth (as defined by the Bible), and liberty.
