QUICK LINKS
Liberal Secularists Are Asking ...
At least 80 wealthy liberals have pledged $1 million or more a piece to fund a network of think tanks and advocacy groups to lift them out of the miry clay of defeat and set their feet on more solid ground.
According to the Washington Post, they're calling their new organization, The Democracy Alliance.
George Soros, the billionaire who was the largest donor to the liberal causes last year, has become so discouraged that he has quit giving to the America Coming Together organization, the organization that he founded.
I guess we didn't come together as he had anticipated.
The new "Alliance" chairman said regarding the last Presidential election, "It wasn't only the failure to win, it was the question, 'What does it take to win?'"
The liberal secularists believe it takes money to win; and they have raised more than $80 million.
I agree. It takes money.
They also believe, according to The Washington Post, "To be effective in the 21st century in promoting your beliefs, it is necessary to have a financially secure institutional infrastructure that has the capacity to promote consistently and coherently, a set of ideas, policies and messages."
THERE-IN MAY LIE THEIR PROBLEM.
Liberal, so-called progressive secularists, lack continuity in their actual beliefs.
For example, they believe the Constitution is a "living, evolving" document that means something different than what the Founding Fathers actually wrote. It means different things to different people at different times. They portray the Bible and morality in the same relative way.
Their ideas, policies and messages, therefore, are always politically based, because their core beliefs are not rooted in "values," but in winning. The end justifies the means. Their beliefs are shaped by the most recent polls. The result is that their beliefs are constantly shifting and inconsistent.
In striking contrast, conservatives and people of faith believe in universal, natural law. We deeply believe that there is a God who created us and gave us inalienable rights, which government protects, but does not grant. We believe the Ten Commandments are the basis for His moral order. And Christians believe that God further revealed Himself in the form of Jesus Christ, His Son, "God who became flesh and dwelt among us."
Yes, the liberals are asking, "What does it take to win?"
Our Founding Fathers have given them the answer.
"The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty."
Thomas Jefferson
"The Bible is the rock on which our republic rests."
Andrew Jackson
"Hold fast to the Bible as your sheet anchor of your liberties; write its precepts on your heart and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for the progress made and to this we must look as our guide in the future."
Ulysses S. Grant
It's great to be on the "right" side.
