Where is it all going?

I have been doing some research lately to try to determine what liberalism is and where it seeks to lead us as a nation if we don't put a stop to it. In doing this I seek to "know thine enemy" and yes, I do believe those that peddle liberalism are the enemy, especially to the American way of life. First, what is liberalism? Merriam-Webster online defines liberalism as "a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties" At the heart of this definition are three concepts that, as applied to society, are particularly harmful. 1. Progress, as it is utilized under liberalism, is the concept of progressing society toward an "ideal" usually away from the perceived unenlightened and stifling religious influence. On it's surface there appears to be tremendous freedom in progressivism and America is all about freedom right? The type of freedom that is envisioned in progressivism is more than we bargain for in a moral society and usually serves as an indicator of our turning away from God as a nation. 2. Another element of the definition of liberalism that is problematic is the "essential goodness of the human race." Who defines what is good and what is bad? We know from above that the liberal definition of goodness downplays the role of God and religion and therefore does not tend to rely on the moral influence of the bible to define goodness. This leaves the definition of what is good and bad to the fancies of the mind of man. Man is sinful and must work to be good through the application of the teachings of Christ. 3. The autonomy of the individual is a foreign concept to a Christian nation. Individuals are not autonomous but are subject to the influence of God and his will for this world. Even those that don't believe in the role of God in the world are subject to his will. The continued movement of this nation toward liberalism represents a turning away from God toward the leaning unto man's own understanding and this turning away will spell the demise of this great nation if we don't turn it around!
