Discouraged? Remember: Truth Always Prevails
By Tom McAllister
As we endure the political circus and charade of impeachment proceedings, does this reflect a great nation? The Book of Proverbs personifies wisdom as a woman calling out in the streets offering counsel. Is anybody in D.C. listening? How did we get to this contemptible place?
In 2008, presidential candidate Obama promised to fundamentally transform America. Well, "mission accomplished." Perhaps I give the former president too much credit, as he didn't build that, but his philosophy and policies directed our culture onto a path such that now everything has become political. It's infected our education, science, businesses, and even health care system. Like attending a movie in 3-D, everyone uses a political lens in which to view the world. Sadly, it is to the destruction of us all. Politics is a zero-sum game of winners and losers — us versus them. If politics is our governing mindset and prevailing worldview, then we will never have unity. A divided house falls.
Previously, U.S. politics was subservient to America's two mottos: In God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum. We are a nation under God and out of the many, we are one people. This was the unifying thought and the pivot point from which the political pendulum swung. The approach to a solution was progressive, conservative, or some triangulated version of the two, but there was always an overriding unity of honoring God and a common love and attitude of self-sacrifice for country — the JFK mantra of ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country.
