Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson made a statement we have been declaring for some time during his speech at 2014 Republican Leadership Conference, “If we don’t turn to God at a pretty rapid clip,” he said, “we’re going to lose the United States of America.”
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin made a surprise appearance, helping introduce Phil Robertson, patriarch of cable television’s “Duck Dynasty.” Robertson has become a cultural icon for many conservative because of his outspoken Christian faith and commentary on sexuality, including opposition to same-sex marriage.
He mostly stayed clear of partisan politics. He blasted separation of church and state and called abortion a “blight” on society. He drew applause and shouts of “Amen” in calling for a national Christian revival and describing himself as a “Christocrat.”
The annual event has grown into an opportunity for rising GOP stars to address some of the most conservative rank-and-file party faithful who influence the presidential nomination process.
“We need to save this country in 2016,” Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus told the opening session of the 2014 Republican Leadership Conference on Thursday.
The fact is that our nation’s problems go beyond politics and party platforms. America is losing the very freedom and liberty that allowed her to become the nation we all know and love. The source of liberty is the Lord. Unless “We the People” return to the Lord, it matters very little who controls congress or the presidency. We can elect republicans to every office of the house and the senate. We can elect republicans to every governors’ office in the land and still loose our liberty and freedom. Why? Unless we turn to the Lord, we will loose the United States of America.
