The enemy seems to freely roam through our country, the enemy's forces, the principalities, the powers, the demons, the unsaved humans who do their bidding seem to have free reign in the United States, but they're never safe

I'm always trying to understand our position in history. And it seems to me right now, our position in history is a moment that I remember from the Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King.
