I admitted as much some years ago in a well publicized essay entitled, \u201c<em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mark1marti2.wordpress.com\/2014\/08\/23\/mark-dankof-on-why-were-finished\/\">Why We\u2019re Finished<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015, after the infamous&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Obergefell_v._Hodges\"><em>Obergefell<\/em>&nbsp;Supreme Court decision<\/a>&nbsp;legalized same-sex \u201cmarriage\u201d, I told&nbsp;<em>Press TV Iran<\/em>&nbsp;the truth about who had played a pivotally disproportionate role in bringing about this latest advance of Cultural Marxism in the United States, as had also been the case in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roe_v._Wade\"><em>Roe v.

The only difference is that he hailed the development as a new dawning in America, and I didn\u2019t.&nbsp; Thus, I was in the crosshairs of the usual suspects.&nbsp;Not one of my Christian colleagues in the United States came to my public defense.&nbsp;I was on my own and I knew it, just as I have been for years in these circles for discussing 9-11, Empire foreign and military policy, and the abortion and LGBTQ issues, among many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing in the last 4 years has changed the equation.&nbsp;I said as much in an essay titled, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/russia-insider.com\/en\/politics\/lutheran-pastor-explains-russia-beacon-promise-christian-future\/ri24069\"><strong><em>Russia is a Beacon of Promise for a Christian Future<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u201d for&nbsp;<em>Russian Faith<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Russia&nbsp;Insider<\/em>&nbsp;readers.&nbsp;The thousands of hits on those sites revealed I had struck either a chord, or a raw nerve, depending on the perspective of the reader.

I\u2019m still not sure whether the people in that lecture hall in upstate Wisconsin really had the foggiest notion of what I was trying to say to them.&nbsp;But Father Joseph Gleason knows of what I speak, and so do most of his readers at&nbsp;<em>Russian Faith<\/em>.

Joseph to higher ground.&nbsp;<em>Get out of Dodge while you can.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I truly believe God has raised up this man at a most critical hour of world history.
