America’s founding principles and its Constitution are powerless to save such a depraved and fallen populace. That’s what John Adams meant when he said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” When “progressives” started sneering and laughing at “Beaver Cleaver white bread 1950s America”, and declaring that “we must not go backward to such times”, the die of our demise was cast. Ladle on top of the ensuing “progressive” self-worship and moral degradation a large serving of outright hatred for America and exalting instead of primitive, tribal subcultures and everything got infinitely worse.
This is most certainly the time that the Bible speaks of when it predicts the rise of a people who “believing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” We’re awash in arrogant “educated” idiots who believe truly insane things, such as that men can become women and vice-versa. They care only about themselves and that selfishness has blinded them to truth and morality.
The only way out of this sorry state is a complete rejection of modern “thinking” and “morals” and a return to truth, logic, common sense, and real morality. But that would take admission that today’s culture is wrong in every way, acknowledgement and repentance for sin, and a national 180 back toward humility and submission to God. Some of us have always been there, and if (when) things get bad enough a few more will join us, but the rest are sadly unlikely to ever admit the depth of their error and depravity. Their pride is more important to them than anything else, and they’ll destroy our country in its name.
Agreed and well stated.
We also used to have a single unifying American culture …
I don’t have a clue what this “single unifying American culture” is, and I seriously doubt we ever really had one — at least after the early 1790s.
Hear Hear. Well Said.
Your unvarnished summary of where we are as a nation - is spot on! Sadly, I can think of only one example in scripture where an evil people and government repented. That would be the story of Jonah and the Ninevites.
Christians - continue to do this for our nation and our posterity:
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
I don’t see civilizations historically, that are on their way out, change direction.
They all fail in time.
What I do remember is after 9-11 when for a brief period churches filled and Congress sang “God bless America” while standing on the steps. Why? Fear. Once everything was explained and we went back to business as usual that stopped.
Disaster makes people feel out of control, and then many look to a higher power for help.
There is a poster by a history profs office door at Auburn University that pokes fun at that Beaver Cleaver style America. It uses the term “standard sexuality” as a pejorative for describing the ‘50s . Up and down that hallway in Thatch Hall are Leftist posters.
Very, very well put. I think yours is one of the best responses I’ve ever read in a Freep posting...insightful, well reasoned, and well written. You should have your own blog.
