The Basic Reason for America’s Constitutional Crisis

February 22, 2012 | From theTrumpet.com

The government is operating under a flawed understanding about human nature.

 

Crucial question: Do you think human nature is fundamentally good—or evil?

The difference between these two opposing views forms the heart of a crisis in the United States right now.

The common liberal view of human nature is that it is fundamentally good and should be given room to flourish. The biblical and realist view is that it is fundamentally evil and must be conscientiously governed.

Well, Mr. Hilliker, I just read the related article attached at the end of this — and thought about what was written more than a decade ago and how it is like a blue-print of the chaos that has ensued ever since. It is an accurate prediction of the following years up to now and a prophecy, as is this article, of the immediate future — and that is not good. It may be just a little premature on my part, but I personally envision this coming election to be most violent to both extremes. If not, then immediately after. The anger in the heartland is palpable. Already, families are split. One of the best investments on Wall Street is Smith and Wesson. Go into any sports store and see which counter most people are frequenting (it isn’t the fishing section). Anarchy is at the door. I do hope the readership will read that attached article and think about the clear fact of the date it was written and the events since that date.
