The Messiah Road Map

In his recently released book, “Preserving Democracy,” Elgin Hushback Jr. has identified the many problems that arise in a growing republic form of government and has offered many excellent examples to simplistically explain complex problems and developements. Elgin recognizes that the United States is on a dangerous road to socialism unless something is done to stop the runaway spending and secularization of our society. I liked that Elgin was not all gloom and doom–he offers hope that we as a nation will get back to our roots where God’s laws will rule our nation again. Several statements caught my eye: (1) Too little power and government cannot act effectively; too much power and government suppresses liberty, (2) The more government does for people, the more people will be dependent on government, (3) The most dangerous problem with planning (socialism–my insert) for democracy is that planning by its very nature requires government control, (4) In many aspects, the supreme court , not the constitution, is already the supreme authority as they control what the constitution means. I would have liked to have seen Elgin elaborate more on how to bring our nation back under the original intentions our founding fathers had in keeping our nation under God’s laws without creating a state religion. Is the secularization of our society behind the tendency of juries to award compensation based on sympathies and emotions or is it judges who are intimidating and steering these juries based on their own agendas and biases or both?
