Larry Schweikart and Dave Doughery return with the second volume of their conservative history covering the period from the end of the Second world War in 1946 through the Age of Entitlement in 2012. Once again they hammer home the tragic reality that the US has flushed the four primary pillars of our former exceptionalism down the toilet. "The pillars of property rights and the Christian religion were also under unrelenting attack..." (pg. 582)
Just a few examples should suffice. In 1960 the Democrats stole the Presidential election from Richard Nixon with massive vote fraud because he was more concerned about the effect on the country of a prolonged electoral fight than for his own desires, integrity sadly lacking in 2000.
The Great Society programs initiated by LBJ in 1965 where the Federal government took over from families, private charities, local and state governments the "mandate" of helping the poor has been a colossal failure, waste of trillions, and destruction of millions of families. Yet the government continues to demand ever more money from its more economically productive citizens.
The total absurdity, irrationality, and destructiveness of these and all other liberal, leftist, statist policies can be traced to the one whom Jesus said came to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10) There is no other reasonable explanation than deception on a grand scale. The Bible says "The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." ( 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
The team of Schweikart and Doughery merely document the process.
