The fault is in a gluttonous and idolatrous humanity.
"Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom their is no salvation," says Psalm 146:3 (ESV).
The ballot box is not going to resolve the morality problem of Americans, nor will it bring revival. And if you think a party platform or a political position that comes through lips means anything, guess again. There are just as many sinful positions, according to Biblical standards, in the Republican platform as there is in that of the Democrats. This is a fallen world, and when we place our trust in the political system, it will fail.
The question I have, looking at the way things are, is "Where is the church?" Where are the people of God? If you want to solve the abortion issue, and end abortion on demand, then get off your moral high horse and start winning young women to Christ, discipling them so that they won't get pregnant out of wedlock, and so that they are willing to step forward and care for those who have made mistakes. Stop arguing about eternal security, and convincing yourself that your church is the only right church and start winning people to Jesus. The church is the only body capable of bringing about change, and if it moves forward in the power of God, it can't be stopped.
But it is more comfortable to retreat, and to backbite and criticize other Christians for not doing church the way you do.
I'll stop here.

Forgotten, too, was the systematic weeding out of every conservative presidental candidate, until the most liberal of all the major candidates was left on top of the Republican ticket. Yes, systematic, as the liberal media and the Washington establishment focused on them, one at a time, during the primaries. As each achieved growing conservative support, they went down in flames.
Regardless of statements of protest to the contrary, anyone who went to the polls and voted for Obama as POTUS endorsed abortion, homosexuality, and everything else that's turning this nation away from God.
Lady Eagle summed it up.

But they could have done the "nuclear option" like they did for obamacare! -

And, you support a party that is pro-death and pro-misery for the living.
I am against abortion and I am pro-life for the living. -

Crabby,
You're forgetting what your elders taught you about fighting with a drunk and/or madman. -
