While almost all of human history was marked by bloodshed, the United States developed as what some take to be "a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal".[note] But no one has ever believed that the United States was beyond criticism, except the blindest breed of pseudo-patriot. In fact, the United States improves best through constructive criticism (rather than through violence). Unlike some people who have unflagging confidence in the system even as they deny the overwhelming evidence that it's crumbling, those of us who are aware that our rights are abused on a daily basis have no such confidence. Where do we go for help? To church leaders who have sold themselves into a state-controlled system reminiscent of the Soviet Union's neutered orthodoxy? To church-goers who have abandoned basic Biblical principles because they are satisfied to seek succor in the pap of hirelings? To politicians who care little about anything other than their own self-aggrandizement? To courts that compulsively strain gnats and swallow camels? Where? To whom? —— If the nation does not move forward through constructive criticism, then it will move back to the same brute depravity that marks the bulk of human history.
