I agree. I was talking to my kids about the state of our country and it was pointed out that I sounded like a defeatist. They are correct. I am realistic, and in reality, we have lost, we have been defeated, and it’s as much an inside job as anything else.
On another note we discussed the worst job one could ever have, for me, it’s the man or men who are tasked to lay their chains upon me, which is bound to happen. There are those who will put aside morality and freedom to follow orders, and I will be forced to choose that hill for my last battle.
Very, very sad to watch your country die in front of your eyes.
Yes, I agree it's pretty much over. We're not necessarily at the same point as Rome in 476 A.D., but we are definitely in the late decline and fall stage.
