Democrats Are Fooling Themselves About Tax Reform’s Unpopularity
According to political analysts, 2018 Democrats will use the just-passed tax reform as a way to argue that the Republican Party is the party of the plutocracy, which is another way of saying that Democrats are going to use the same argument they’ve been using for the past three decades with varying degrees of success. A number of liberals have claimed that the passage of “unpopular” tax reform is historically analogous to the passage of Obamacare, which triggered the loss of hundreds of Democrat seats and, perhaps, control of the presidency.

From Tent to Glory
In the beginning was a garden. And in that garden were two people and their God. God had created the man and woman in His image and set them above the rest of Creation. But Adam and Eve sinned and thereby severed their personal, direct relationship with their Creator. God cannot tolerate sin. All of human history is about God working to have a relationship with us again, where we can walk together.
