America’s Future: Childless, Godless, Unpatriotic
American Conservative ^ | August 25, 2019 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 08/26/2019 8:16:46 AM PDT by C19fan

It is the summer of our discontent, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Excerpts:

The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that — despite Americans’ overall satisfaction with the state of the U.S. economy and their own personal finances — a majority say they are angry at the nation’s political and financial establishment, anxious about its economic future, and pessimistic about the country they’re leaving for the next generation.

“Four years ago, we uncovered a deep and boiling anger across the country engulfing our political system,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, which conducted this survey in partnership with the Republican firm Public Opinion Strategies. “Four years later, with a very different political leader in place, that anger remains at the same level.”

The poll finds strong pessimism about the future of the country, even though the economy is strong. Just wait till the next recession! And look at this:

As reader Sean P., who sent me the link to the news story about the poll, said:

So to sum up: we have an angry, young, rootless generation with little love for their country, no adherence to any higher moral authority, and little interest in investing in future generations.

Yep, bright days ahead for the American republic!

Just remember it was discontented children of minor nobility and the middle class that provided the fuel for anarchist terrorism and Communism in Russia leading up to 1917.

And the biggest problem is that the good people will want nothing to do with serving in government, leaving it to the people with bad intentions.

With the current climate of laws in this country regarding marriage, alimony and child support, men shouldn’t be having families.

“Serving in government?” You mean people serving themselves at the public trough.

I would say though Boomers, the college educated ones, easily ascended the economic ladder. Millenials not so much.

The Commies long-range plans that my mother typed as an FBI typist in WWII are coming to pass: take over education & media. Brainwash a nation slowly, one class at a time.

We now have a majority of our population that are totally brainwashed with totalitarian Marxism and atheism, blindly deceived into thinking their way is the ultimate. And as kids are annually pumped out of our high schools and colleges, their numbers are increasing non-stop.

There is no way or plan that can stop this, and the collapse of our nation.

We were warned - but few heard, and even fewer listened.

Our Christian children and grandchildren will most certainly be persecuted, perhaps tortured and killed for their faith.

See Arnold Toynbee’s Cycle of Nations. It is inevitable apart from divine intervention..........

We have been TAKEN OVER by a foreign entity.

Now that entity totally controls our media, silences anyone who says otherwise.

It’s like a catepillar being gradually eaten by wasp larvae from within:

The parasites emit special enzymes that make the catepillar defend the larvae more strongly than it would otherwise defend itself.

Young people are constantly told how they’re soon to be replaced, how the earth is overheating, etc.

How can they not be dejected and hostile..?

Four years ago...let’s see who was into the 6th year of their presidency then...oh yeah.

Wait til the Big War Comes-—It will be WW III. A huge war that will hit America Hard—Internet—Gone in a blast. Electricity—Gone in a blast. Over population—gone. Illegal Aliens fleeing to Mexico. Rationing, starvation, pain, suffering. All will serve. Only industry to grow—the cemeteries. We may not win this one. Law and order will rule and criminals will hang from lamp posts and bridges. I hope am wrong.

If you don’t have families you are playing right into their hands.

Have great big families, work hard, enjoy your life. They are NOT entirely in charge.

“How can they not be dejected and hostile?”

By believing that the Lord is with them!

I read the back of the Book. We win.
