What is true of Americans is true of America. Our founding declaration states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”
When we stand on life, we oppose abortion and euthanasia. When we stand on liberty, we oppose human trafficking and prostitution, slavery, and unfair incarceration. When we stand on the pursuit of happiness, we oppose systemic poverty, discrimination, and racism.
It is because our post-truth culture is abandoning these foundational principles that our moral edifice is crumbling amid the culture wars lashing our nation.
