How to Conquer America

I used to enjoy reading Cal Thomas back when I read Townhall.com. His most recent column, however...
A preacher might develop a good sermon on how nations fare when they mock God.
No less a theological thinker than Abraham Lincoln concluded that our Civil War might have been God's judgment for America's tolerance of slavery. If that were so, why should "the Almighty," as Lincoln frequently referred to God, stay His hand in the face of our celebration of same-sex marriage?
As Thomas might say, "A preacher might develop a good sermon on how Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Sweden fared after they mocked God by legalizing same-sex marriage."
Being a reasonable person, I have to at least laud Thomas for a consistent set of beliefs. In addition to same sex marriage, he also opposes "the birth control pill (sex without biological consequences), 'no-fault divorce' (nullifying 'until death us do part'), cohabitation, easily available pornography, and a tolerance for just about anything except those who deem something intolerable." Luckily, this is not a winning election platform, and I doubt it ever will be.

Edit: I forgot to include the funniest quote:
Most great powers unravel from within before invading armies (or in America's case, terrorists) conquer them.
 Terrorists will conquer America, but only after America has already unraveled from within?
