What comes next after the United States?
American Thinker ^ | June 15, 2019 | Eric Utter

Posted on 06/15/2019 9:05:40 AM PDT by ProtectOurFreedom

As Washington was the "one indispensable man," the U.S. is the one indispensable nation. The less its leaders and its citizens believe that, the more it is proven to be true, as the world situation deteriorates. Yet many Americans are experiencing a crisis of faith, deeper and more sinister than the "malaise" with which Jimmy Carter said we were afflicted in the late 1970s.

Truth be told, the United States has been in the midst of a "Cold Culture War" for several decades. That war is essentially over. The progressives won. In 1993, Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) coined the phrase "defining deviancy down" to describe the redefining of deviancy to exempt conduct previously stigmatized and brand behavior previously considered abnormal and abhorrent as normal and mainstream. (He was vehemently against this practice). Can anyone imagine a Democrat saying such a thing today? Shortly thereafter came the "trickle-down immorality" of the Clinton years. In more recent times, marriage has been redefined, with homosexuality approved and celebrated and the LGBTQIIA+ community holding public "PRIDE!" parades all over the fruited plain, and men who claim to be women have won the "right" to excrete or compete in any bathroom, locker room, or venue their transgendered hearts desire.

The Left never gives in, never tires, never wavers, always presses on. The Ten Commandments are banned from public spaces. Conservatives are prevented from speaking on college campuses or shouted down if they are "allowed" to speak. Those wearing "MAGA" hats are the targets of bullying and violence. Statues of Civil War figures and former presidents are removed as statues of Baphomet are unveiled. Christianity is boldly mocked in movies, on television, and by "entertainers" and academics. Anti-Semitism is on the rise.

Mr. Utter has written an excellent essay cataloging where we are today in the United States. None of this is new to us, but it is especially distressing to see it all laid out clearly in one article. As we all know, it is not a pretty picture and makes most of us extremely sad.

The author does not, however, address the cornerstone question "What comes next after the United States?" He simply concludes "Sadly, Dr. Franklin, it does not appear that we will be able to keep the republic you and your contemporaries bequeathed to us after all. Thanks for trying."

We have raised two or three extremely "tolerant" generations that accept anything. It's doubtful that that toothpaste is going back into the tube.

So Mr. Utter is surrendering. Not the spirit of FR at all.

"What comes next after the United States?"

2,000+ years of dark age.

Great empires fall, and are replaced by other great empires, or by Dark Ages of isolation, insecurity and relative poverty.

Basically true for eons. Change is part of the process whether
for the good or the bad. Just think thru this part of the world
as we know it and and the changes since 1492.

Unfortunately it is part of our fallen human nature to resort to name calling and shouting down those whose positions on morality cannot be defeated in polite conversation. We are called by Christ to be patient and kind. This was never an easy teaching.

We need to make sure we don’t have to find out.

Stand and fight.

They want The West to be diluted down to 100% mongrels who are violent and chaotic —that’s why it’s so important for the borders of Thinking Countries to stay open.

This chaos will act as a motivator for a small, well-educated, dispersed group of people to all move to their one bolt hole by birthright, which will then become much larger.

Then that enlarged elite country of riches and education will rule over all others, which toil and thrash around in their diverse chaos, unable to find anything in common with one another, united only in ignorance and political impotence.

The outside mongrel people of this frightening New Order will have the same function as pack animals, which exist only to serve these elite, collectivist overlords who control all public information.

After Trump comes a personal test for us all. After years of observing Republicans, I think most will submit to tyranny.

The post-American era will be defined by a period where only "the law of the jungle" applies.

Yes, but God gave us mental and physical abilities to take care of ourselves, not sit with our hands folded, expecting God to do everything for us.

“God helps those who help themselves.”

What comes next after the United States?

“...then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.”

Most true patriotic Americans are getting to be too old to fight what’s coming and the big part of the young Americans are more globalistic and not very patriotic to one nation...
