There is a forum (has a lot of followers) out there that I have followed for quite some time know. The website was just entertainment to me, it delt with conspiracies, weather disasters, current affairs, earthquakes and such things. It’s funny but breaking news on all sorts of issues (still is in a way) seemed to pop up on there before fox news or CNN. In the last 2 years every time I go into that forum all I see is anti-American hate.
***Up until the last sentence I thought it was Free Republic you were talking about.

what happened?

50 or more years of 24 x 7 media propaganda declaring how evil, corrupt, selfish and mean the United States was while attacks were waged on every foundational institution.

education.
community.
religion.
family.

each was attacked and torn apart until only a shadow remained. now efforts to impart the death blow are under way.

financial.
defense.

the left is winning in their efforts to crater that which they hate. capitalism and freedom. even supposed ‘republican’ congressmen could care less about the founding documents, national defense, national spending, or the national debt. anyone trying to bring events to their attention is met with scorn and silent ridicule. you might as well talk to a wall.

the only thing that would change our situation takes years to have any impact. education. unfortunately, the education the people have received has left them so ill equipped to recognize the problem, let alone able to defend against it, there is little chance of recovering.

an inspirational leader could rally the troops and bring people around, those that still remember what it means to be American. unfortunately, the corruption is so dark and deep, any such leaders are fearful for not only their lives, but the lives of their family... which gives them pause. i’ve never heard of a time in America when a person that wasn’t a declared candidate would have their family attacked... and our leaders don’t care about such personal attacks as they covert their own arse. similar treatment is metered out even to today’s town cryers... media personalities trying to wake people up. that’s how dark and deep the rot has set.

to be honest, i fear America is no longer my country

This is the ultimate end of the welfare state. When people get used to sucking at the gov teat, gov gets bigger and bigger and people are less and less able to fend for themselves and we end up like Greece.

We must demolish not only Obamacare but also Medicare, Medicaid and the biggest demon: Social Security. Folks of my generation must right off the money paid into that as losses.

Small gov, low taxes and people learning to fend for themselves -- of course we must help the poor, but it should be personal charity, not gubmint. The Churches need to step back into their role

The leftist radical hippies of the 60’s took over gov’t, schools and the press.

That’s what happened.

Bread and Circuses, over Informed, Intelligent Citizenship and Civic Duty.

Engineered by the Elites.

Leading to internal social decay.

That's what I would chalk it up to.

And it was planned from years back. Cultural erosion. It did not happen over night. If Obama is reelected, it will be fast tracked more quickly than anyone can imagine. I would not put it past him to construct camps and declare martial law, closing churches, suspending the US Constitution, and rounding the enemies of the state up.

Quick answer; Satan the Prince of this World

His tools? Cultural destruction by the religion of Satan, Communism from the Bible written by Karl Marx.

Their plan;

The churches seemed to be totally on board with handing over charity to the gummint. After all it freed up the cash they needed to build giant palaces of worship.

Here’s a few reasons America failed.

When we didn’t beat people for burning the symbol of our national pride we only encouraged others to do so.

When our schools and universities hired radicals to teach our children that it was “cool” to kill their parents, God, and just laws were optional.

Feel free to add more.

Liberals? Democraps? Assorted Leftists? Illegal, socialist-leaning, aliens? Public employee unions? Lawyers? Educators?
Media types?

I don’t know who could’ve been responsible.

Here is part of what's happening:

Communist Goals

However, all is not lost. I truly believe this Country was and is blessed by God. Look at our history starting with the American Revolution. We overcame what should have been insurmountable forces to gain our independence.

We again faced great challenges in the War of 1812 and once again prevailed. Washington, DC was actually burned by British forces during that conflict.

Fast forward to December 7, 1941. Most our Pacific Fleet destroyed. Yet a mere 6 months later at Midway we turned things around, and eventually went on to victory.

Now our Country is facing another great challenge. With Gods help we will again prevail. We just need to roll up our sleeves, band together and get to work. Despair, surrender and complacency are not options.

A large part of the reason, America rebounded from Pearl Harbor was America was an industrial powerhouse, with the world’s greated manufacturing base.

Now it’s in China.

And a lot of “conservatives” are just hunky dory with that.

It’s blindingly stupid.

In 1858 Mr.Lincoln gave a political speech built around Biblical Truth A House,or Nation divided against itself cannot stand. As President Mr.Lincoln said “We have been blessed with the bounties of Heaven -—but we have forgotten God.”IMO when I was entrusted to the public school system America became beguiled unable to stand sound doctrine we began to heap to ourselves teachers-having itching ears we began to follow fables and were turned from God to believe the Lie.
The Court already divorced from the people instituted policy much like it did in Lincolns Day intended to remedy the agitation between the Christians and the infidel.
And while we slept the enemy has crept into camp.Opening the door wide to this Islamic incursion.Though they are not the only shark circling the bait.

Marxist termites have eaten away the foundations of our country through the ceaseless infiltration of schools, churches, print and broadcast media, entertainment. Too many people have lost their morality and the spirituality that it was built on. They don’t know their right hand from their left. For the lack of knowledge, they will perish. Blind leading the blind, stumbling into the ditch.
