All issues are ’social issues’

Just as many Americans don’t understand the left-right political spectrum extends from totalitarian government control on the left to anarchy on the right, there’s much confusion over the phony divide between "economic issues" and "social issues."...

There's only a divide if we create one.

And if we create one – or allow our enemies to create one – then America will return to business as usual, and the great awakening we have seen in the last 18 months will have been just a momentary blip on history's radar screen.

This is a time for unity among pro-life activists, pro-family activists, "conservative" activists and libertarians. There are two principles that unite most of these people – whether they know it or not:

• Overwhelmingly they believe we are accountable to a sovereign God who grants us unalienable rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

• Overwhelmingly they believe the Constitution strictly limits the power of the federal government and uniquely recognizes and protects those unalienable rights.

This is where the focus needs to be between all of the freedom-oriented groups now battling to take America back from those who would transform it to be more like all the other nations of the world – those that long ago turned from God and those that don't have a 223-year-old Constitution that removed shackles from the people and placed them on the government.
