I don’t know.
I am feeling increasingly separated from the current culture. It seems like every single day, something new comes along that makes me feel as if our country (and the world) has gone mad.
The military has always been a touchstone for me, growing up a brat as I did, and serving myself, then I see an open Marxist serving in the Army, with the apparent assent of everyone up and down the chain of command. I see a man, being treated by the military as a woman, who should have been shot for treason, shooting off his mouth to the press. I see an Army Major, on his personal Facebook page openly insulting the Commander in Chief while in his official role enthusiastically stuck his finger in the eye of the CIC regarding Transsexuals in the military. I see a Navy where ships cannot even simply sail from point A to point B without a collision or grounding, and leadership failures at all levels. I see an FBI and CIA populated by open and vocal liberals, engaging in activities to favor one candidate over another. I see cities and localities openly and publicly flouting federal immigration laws with no penalty. I see a mentally ill homosexual man who has been put in charge of children, thankfully fired, but only because he couldn’t control himself and was captured on tape screaming obscenities at a student. I see girls being encouraged at all levels to be as coarse and violent as men, and men being discouraged from embracing masculinity and encouraged to be feminine. I see very young children being subjected to surgery and hormones because they have been “diagnosed” with “gender dysphoria”. I see colleges that are offering safe spaces complete with stuffed animals because they can’t stand the stress of hearing someone utter words they disagree with. I see high schools that have students with such a high rate of illegitimate birth that they have special programs...and they CELEBRATE it.
I am living my life working hard, and attempting to remain positive and cheerful, but I do have the feeling there is a fundamental ground shift under my feet in my lifetime, that bad things are happening at an accelerated rate.
I was just cheering up from the Moore catastrophe and you had to go and remind me how F'd up things are.
Okay, I'll take another two days of misery. Then back to the fight.
The (mostly) Happy Warrior
Am with you. Easy to get very discouraged about the way things are going. I believe the only solution is a genuine, widespread spiritual renewal based on faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Without that, things may not go well.
