Rep. Roy: ‘We’re engaged in a level of pitched battle for the soul of the nation’

WASHINGTON — On Thursday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined The Liberty Café podcast to discuss the political, moral, and spiritual imperative to protect the Christian values that have shaped our free society today while the radical left veers towards an increasingly hostile, secularized culture and tyrannical government.

Some key quotes from Congressman Roy are below and full footage of the appearance can be found at the link here:

• As leaders, the role of faith and how we carry out our decision making you cannot divorce from who you are, the faith you have, the commandments you're under from The Lord, and you can't divorce that from your actions as a leader.
  
• As Christians, we should be looking out for the least among these, I just don't buy the leftist trope that it's socialism that's the answer or that somehow that's the Christian answer. I believe it is being good stewards in our role of leaders to free up people to be able to go help each other through charity and through our labors and through the capitalistic system to be able to produce opportunity and prosperity for as many as possible.
  
• The forgotten men and women that President Trump I think fought for so well- our job as leaders is to make sure that they're not being rolled over by the system.
  
• One of the fundamental corruptions of our great American system right now is the continued advancement, the exponential advancement, of crony capitalism in our system.
  
• More people in this world over the history of mankind, from its very beginnings from the garden of Eden until today, have been harmed by authoritarian tyrants who are seeking to control our lives and try to control our thoughts and look into what we're saying, why we're saying it, and then tell us how we're to live our lives, than by any other means of power or any activity in the history of man.
  
• We're engaged in a level of pitched-battle for the soul of the nation and for the future of the Republic.
  
• Are we going to stand up and preserve and protect these great values that have made lives so much better and richer across this world because of our faith in The Lord and preserving and protecting our freedom?
