It is an ironic dichotomy that in the land of plenty, we are burdened with an abundance of poverty. I’m not speaking of financial poverty, especially to the degree to which so many are subjected in other parts of the world. I’m speaking of the lack of genuine, spiritual, faith-based morality, upon which our extraordinarily blessed republic was founded. I am speaking of the lack of honesty, the lack of genuine compassion, and the purposeful stealing of hope, that has been the American Dream. How have we sunk to such depths in a country that was established upon Judeo-Christian principles?
