Is the American culture on the verge of collapse? Some say yes. What forces are likely to be responsible for such a calamity? Could it be the government and its willful contempt for the widely shared conceptions of right and wrong which once held this nation together? Might it be an external force that has become too powerful thanks to the growing supply of active American traitors in positions of authority? And either way, will enough dedicated Americans remain to pick up the pieces?
Our colleges are teaching mindless chair-warmers that capitalism is bad and socialism is good. Schoolchildren throughout the country are being taught the pillars of Islam, are forced to accept the “truth” of the shahada and even being told to wear a hijab so as to not offend Muslim students.
The homosexual community, about .6% of the population, has worked with federal lawmakers, bureaucrats and judges to force Christians and others to accept as normal the deviant and perverse. Of course, Obama’s decree that transgenders may use the bathroom of their choice will not affect his own very privileged children.
We are being forced by political elites to do what the most generous of their campaign donors believe to be appropriate.
Judeo-Christian ethics and respect for one another have always existed as the hallmarks of decency in this nation. But when a population is taught that benchmarks of morality accepted for centuries have become irrelevant, even false, that nation will begin to fail. Moral relativism was responsible for the downfall of civilizations in the past and it is poised to bring about the...

We have allowed the cesspool cover to remain off when we should have put a cap on it pronto
The perverts took over schools, entertainment, and the Democratic party. Then America elected a pervert to the highest office twice. Normal people lost.
Every destructive issue degrading or attacking the US can laid at the feet of the dems. Next comes diversity and % of US inhabitants on the dole.
The propaganda behind all this comes from the big three; MSM, Academia and Hollywood.
We Freepers have tough row to hoe.
Is it? No.
Will it go back without massive chaos and some very unfortunate events taking place? Sadly no. That point will 100% pass without Trump though. Even then there will be a civil war of some sort. Maybe localized and brief, but it will happen.
Stockpile water and food.
I did not attend church today. My pastor went public on Facebook with a screed opposing North Carolina’s Hb2 law. Increasingly the life of our local church is dominated by affluent “feel good” liberals who pay lip service to the Bible while professing outrage at every social justice issue pushed by the Obama administration and the media.
I’ve concluded this mainline protestant church (United Methodist) has been completely co-opted and is just another propaganda tool for the secular progressive state. It is sad since my family has been involved in the life of the church since Frances Asbury preached in the backwoods settlements of North Carolina in the late 1700’s. Despite a long history it is now time for me to leave since my soul seeks a house of God and not a temple dedicated to worship of the secular state.
Restoring American culture will require a fundamental religious awakening and return to the rules of social discourse mandated in the scripture. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer Americans are comfortable in the presence of God, much less seek nourishment and comfort in the scripture. In addition, for those who still seek God’s message in churches, too many pulpits are occupied by false prophets who tell the people they can live in sin and still receive God’s blessing.
The incessant “progressive” leftist promoted debate about gay marriage isn’t about gay marriage.
The incessant “progressive” leftist promoted debate about homosexuality isn’t about homosexuality.
The incessant “progressive” leftist promoted debate about teen sexuality isn’t about teen sex.
The incessant “progressive” leftist promoted debate about promiscuity and marital infidelity isn’t about promiscuity.
The incessant “progressive” leftist promoted debate about no-fault divorce isn’t about divorce.
The NEW “progressive” leftist promoted debate about transgender bathrooms isn’t about transgender bathrooms.
And the NEW “progressive” leftist promoted debate about adult-child sexuality isn’t about pederasty or pedophilia.
The Utopian “progressive” left seeks to replace God with man (or SOME VERY “SPECIAL” MEN!), and God’s universe with one of man’s design.
The “progressive” left seeks to abolish God’s creation of sex, gender, and sexuality.
In another area, the “progressive” left seeks to convince us that man alone controls the universe. When the left claims that man causes climate change and man causes earthquakes (by fracking, water injection, etc.), the “progressive” left is seeking to eliminate God.
“Progressive” leftists believe, or claim to believe, that a junta of wise men – made so by birth to the “right” parents or educated in the “right” universities – can perfect the world. Think utopia or heaven on earth.
To achieve their goal, the “progressive” left must destroy God in the minds of the men they seek to rule.
Ironically, it was the agnostic, humanist, Darwinist commentator H.L.Mencken who summarized the goal of the “progressive” left in these 16 words:
“The urge to save humanity is most often a false front for the urge to rule.”
Taking their cue from George Orwell, they call themselves “progressives”, hoping that the uninformed and ignorant among us would be fooled by this gaggle of Utopian fools who seek to drag us to another of the command societies that have always failed.
Do you remember back to the 2008 “election” when the arch “progressive” Obama declared that he would “transform America”? At the time I and many others asked to what would we wish to “transform” – in other words “PROGRESS” – a nation based on these words?
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
After nearly 8 years of a “progressive” leftist in the White House, we have our answer: We have been transformed BACKWARD (regressed) from the truths of the Declaration and a “Creator” honoring people to a nation of soon to be slaves ruled by elitist Utopians who, by virtue of their “superiority”, know far better how we should live our lives than we do.
The vernacular for that is TOTALITARIANISM!
There is no room for a “Creator” in such a system.
There is also NO ROOM FOR “..LIFE, LIBERTY OR ...HAPPINESS”.
(Fairness dictates that I confess that the idea for the lamentable litany at the top of this piece was shamelessly “stolen” – with his permission – from fellow Freeper mbarker12474.)
Response: America has surrendered to the depraved.
Comment: There are no longer any moral standards and even the law is starting to show signs of breaking down.
Underway already.
It already has! Just take a look at DC!
America has already succumbed.
When faggot-marriage was imposed onto the country with so little pushback, it showed me once and for all that the nation has fully embraced evil and depravity. It was the final symbolic demarcation point. Ever since then, the preservation of the republic has frankly become of little interest to me.
The only thing approaching a rebuke is Russia. Anyway, Obama denies it was his idea to push the bathroom issue.
Obama says he’s not to blame for transgender bathroom issue - Washington Times
And instead some world leaders and the pope are praising him on his stance on global warming, Palestine, other political issues.
This slide began with the repeal of the anti-Communist laws of the 1950’s.
The slide continued with the First Amendment legal battle by the ACLU in favor of pornography.
Then came the arguments that ‘religion’ has no place in governmental establishments.
Then came the argument that those speaking ‘religion’ on the street corners are violating the ears and brains of those passing-by, and must be shut up.
Then came the argument that ‘the churches’ are a finanacial organization, and need to be licensed, i.e., ‘503-504’, to retain their charitable status.
Then came the examination of said churches, to see that they are not breaking politicking laws from the pulpit.
In the meantime, came those that espouse Socialist/Communist ideologies; that espouse the idea that ‘everything is First Amendment with nothing taboo’; the movement to disallow ‘religion’ being something worth holding onto, or that ‘your’ religion has no meaning or value in ‘their’ eyes and mind; that ‘your country’ is worthless, and just a piece of ground on this revovling planet - no more, no less, and ‘your love of country’ is an invalid and antique idea and of no more value, than the how the ant beholds his anthill.
Look to the history of ancient Israel- when their kings allowed idolatry, wickedness followed. Usually, God was patient, warning the nation again and again. But God was not mocked for long.
America is entering a time of judgement. We’re seeing our republic suffer because we have allowed the murder of millions of unborn children. We export pornography and evil movies with America-hating actors that many people worship.
Going to church during the holidays is not enough: we must repent as individuals. We must repent as a nation. We must ask Christ Jesus, to give us new hearts, and turn from doing wrong. He will give us a new direction, and help us to live renewed lives. God, thru Christ The Redeemer, will heal our inner pain, and bring each of us peace.
We must pray for our nation to be healed, and turn back to Godly principles.
If we fail to welcome the precepts of God back into our nation, we’ll probably suffer terrible military defeats soon, and maybe economic collapse, or something even worse...
But we CAN turn all this around. Are WE, each of us, willing to do what must be done?
