What’s Wrong With America, and How Can We Fix It?
Liberty and Pride ^ | March 18, 2010 | CSD

The United States of America is undoubtedly the greatest country in the history of the world. However, it seems that many of us have abandoned the conservative principles upon which the foundations of this great country were laid.

In the midst of a depression, we have endeavored to preserve economic prosperity for our country and ourselves. Yet in doing so we have made great sacrifices to liberty. Have we forgotten that a republic cannot survive if the people do not have liberty? Have we forgotten that without liberty there is despotism, and under despotism there is no prosperity?

The end of liberalism will be a good first step. Let’s just go back to being a Republic, please. Democracy does not work.

Deport leftist radicals, illegals, Muslims, and Democrats. That’s a good start.

Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.

Answer in a nutshell. However, few will read and/or listen to what the Bible says. All that is left are the consequences.

Question is, how do you end liberalism? A practical solution would be to remove the governments grasp of our education system. They’re training armies of liberals.

In a nutshell, the public school system. My son is a Junior in high school and by the Grace of God and his Old Man’s efforts, a Conservative. The public school system is trying very hard to breed manliness out of the boys, feminizing them, discouraging competition, obfuscating the concept of a representative republic in lieu of a democracy, and generally trying to brainwash our kids into believing that this is a filthy, rotten country that is the root of all evil in the world history.

1. Get the kenyan out of the office
2. Get the marxist-muslim out of the office

repeat steps one and two until the condition clears up.

All his viewpoints are contrary to the socio-economic system and democratic infrastructure that took over 220 years to build.

You a good point. A population that actually has some strong values can carry a nation a long way. A good portion is this country is far from having any values at all.

What's wrong with this country? The socialism and tyrannical federal government. The lack of respect for people's rights. The inability of people to govern themselves.

How to fix it?

What to fix? Public education.

Statist indoctrination will put an end to Liberty in America.

Citizens who had been educated properly would never have elected such a one as B. Hussein Obama.

Years ago, a British newspaper asked a few notable writers to submit essays answering the question "What is wrong with the world?"

G.K. Chesteron's entry took the form a letter -- or rather a salutation and a signature:

Dear Sirs --

I am,
G.K. Chesterton

I seem to remember Income Taxes being ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the late 1890’s. So how did they fix the problem? They made it constitutional.

Take your kids out of the government schools. Don’t let the government molest their minds.

“Question is, how do you end liberalism?”

By returning to a Republic, liberalism will have no where to go...it has to end...it is the watered down poor cousin of Marxism that can only flourish in a weak Democracy which will always be consumed by the parasitic Marxist philosophy.
