When we are controlled by politics based on getting free stuff, we cannot think with good sense.
When we think with the mind of Christ we can make sense without regard to who likes it. Freedom in this country is much more than just doing what we like, but should be the freedom to act the way we believe is right without persecution for it. The freedom to do and believe righteousness comes with it responsibility, however, if we don't understand Biblical responsibility we cannot act correctly, we are at the mercy of cultural attitudes and personal feelings, neither of which offer us much.
"Wrong" tends to get the greece because it is "squeaky", making the most noise. Sadly those who yell the loudest tend to get what they want and even make others believe them. After all, if someone is yelling that loudly they must be right, or so the non-thinking person surmises.
Politics in our country will never be right, because those who strive for the positions in the govenrment are bent on personal power, compromising God's principles to placate the media and non-thinking voters. Yes, even the conservatives are doing this.
I am thankful for young men who understand "good sense", let's not call it common because it is no longer the "moral majority", good sense is not common as it used to be "back in the day", at least more so than now, in previous generations.
