Star Parker, a conservative Republican commentator in D.C., opines: "The only weapon against a false prophet is hard, unvarnished truth.
We have indeed become a government-dependent nation. And we have indeed become a nation in which the sanctity of family and the sanctity of life are widely disregarded.
The growth of government dependency, the displacement of personal responsibility for government responsibility and the unraveling of the American family all have moved in lockstep.
And our moral bankruptcy and fiscal bankruptcy are occurring together. The fiscal viability of entitlement programs is driven by the assumption that those who work can pay for those who are retired. But as life spans increase while we produce fewer children, as result of self-centered lifestyles and abortion, our moral bankruptcy produces our fiscal bankruptcy."
Ms. Parker continues her commentary: "Democrats want to play with words and spin while the country is drowning. They are selling the status quo by appealing to natural human fears of change.
Entitlement programs as we have known them must change. Moral relativism mistakenly called freedom must be labeled for what it is.
Republicans need to embrace, not run from, the truth and tell it to the American people. This is a time for truth, not word games."
