What has happened to America? Please show these numbers to anyone that does not believe that the United States is in decline. It is time for all of us to humble ourselves and face the reality of what has happened to our once great nation. For those of us that love America, it is heartbreaking to watch the foundations of our society rot and decay in thousands of different ways. The following are 50 facts that show how far America has fallen in this generation, but the truth is that this list could have been far, far longer…

#1 According to a survey that was just conducted, only 36 percent of all Americans can name the three branches of government.

#2 Only 25 percent of all Americans know how long U.S. Senators are elected for (6 years), and only 20 percent of all Americans know how many U.S. senators there are.

#3 Even if you include same-sex couples in the numbers, the marriage rate in the United States is at a 93 year low.

#4 For the first time ever, single Americans make up more than half the U.S. population.

#5 31.1 percent of American young adults in the 18 to 34-year-old age bracket are currently living with their parents.

I’ve been a believing Christian for a long time, but I still felt stressed and overwhelmed with daily life at times.

I also still feel a ton of guilt that someone had to suffer so much to clean up my messes because I can’t control myself. Especially when I screw up again.

The movie just helped let me look beyond all that and say it’s gonna be ok. I had read excerpts before, including the part where some people from the family were in Heaven and some weren’t. I’m gonna get the book now and read the whole thing. I’m also interested in seeing more of the art from the girl in Poland (was it Poland?....I think it was Poland)

People walking around in public in their pajama pants seems more like they’ve given up than people with tattoos.

Bingo! How many people, though, would give that answer?

Pajama pants are a bad look, especially with a belly hanging out of a t shirt.
The tats I’m speaking about are the ones that cover entire legs or necks.
Your going nowhere with that exposed to the public

I am almost afraid to know.

51st fact: Over 65 million Americans voted to put a traitor into the White House... twice.

And they're not even embarrassed that they voted for the jerk. Just yesterday I saw a car with not one but two Obama bumper stickers.
