[dropcap]T[/dropcap]his column is about the intersection of faith and politics. I first wrote most of these thoughts five years ago, but have been reluctant to publish them, because they are sure to offend everybody.

America has given itself over to unbridled greed, and called it “prosperity.” We have slaughtered millions of innocent babes in the name of sexual freedom and women’s equality.

But if you want to stand against the greed, you have to be okay with the slaughter.
