Once Upon a Time
August 28th 2008 10:03
Once upon a time, political pundits were not necessary because Christians conscientiously addressed almost every social ill and issue in our society.
Once upon a time, the church “turned the world upside down” with the mysterious and metaphysical power of the gospel, instead of political maneuvering and self-righteous name-calling.
Once upon a time, adequate and affordable health care was no issue because Christians took the time to build hospitals, orphanages, and asylums in Rome and Constantinople. What have we taken the time to build lately, aside from ignorance?
Once upon a time, Americans didn’t fall into the indolence of fascism or socialism, because Christians were thoughtful enough to promote truth, and subsequently, maintain the delicate balance between responsibility and compassion.
Once upon a time, Americans did not worship or abuse the environment; they respected the resources, beauty, and contribution of the environment, and subsequently, they harnessed the whole with wonder and wisdom.
Once upon a time, institutions like Brown, Harvard, Yale, Penn, and Princeton offered a good, liberal education, but now they’ve given in to the worst fundamentalism of all: “believe, promote, and publish the spirit of the age (i.e., the ‘politically correct’ opinions of a few), or perish.”
Once upon a time, Americans were intelligent enough to realize that “Politically Correct” is an oxymoron.
