Me | May 23, 2021 | Vanity

Posted on 05/23/2021 5:48:09 PM PDT by frnewsjunkie

The United States.. is it the greatest nation? What made us the most and the best? Who do we thank?

Why have we become a place where many would like to call home.

Are we going to keep our freedoms?

Christian preachers, who are operating in bad faith and making millions of dollars has a lot to do with it. Also, the self-sufficient mindset of carnal man is also a pet of it. Most people aren’t able to connect a deep Christian faith with why America is prosperous, so they think it isn’t needed.

United States of America; land of the solid stool.

We’ve pushed God out, and total depravity has taken His place.

We wonder how the Holocaust could have happened? But what about abortion? We’ve murdered far more than Hitler did. Do you think God doesn’t see? We are UNDER GOD’S JUDGEMENT. Expect things to get MUCH worse, including humiliating military defeats.

I don’t think repentance will come, until America is truly broken...

There are many reasons and it’s important to understand that the is an overwhelming reality despite many setbacks and cruel political ironies like Biden and Pelosi:

In 2019 more than 50 million migrants came to the US. That is exponentially more than any other nation in the world. The data comes from the UN. The migration draw of the US is and has been so much greater than any of the other 192 nations in the world. As a component of analysis, 42 million people in this hemisphere alone would leave their homes to come here immediately if they could. No nation can compare to that draw and it annihilates all pretenses of critical theory.

The US is the largest economy in the world. Our low interest rates provide essentially a zero interest credit card from which we can borrow infinitely. Naysayers have pretended since the 1989s that the credit card will soon come due and the Japanese, Chinese, saudis or Russians will come and collect. False. They will never “collect” because they desperately need our treasury notes to shore up the flood of statist lies that animate their intimate civic lives predicated openly upon social servitude.

The first amendment burns as a beacon against ideological authoritarianism. Though we falter the idea of free religion and free speech incinerates the social netting offered by other nations. The dream of individuals is illuminated by first amendment freedoms that British monarchs still find: Bonkers.

Our military power is exponential. We have 20 aircraft carriers. More than the entire world. We spend annually more than the top five nations combined.

This is our century. Chinas demographic implosion is imminent and just like japan in the 90s they will pass into the past in the 2040s.

During WWII America came together..

Does it take a war to recall thank you?
To remember we are one nation, under God
..with liberty and justice to all...
The justice system has been broken to smithereens....

Obama opened the pit... and all hill is loose.

Went to hell with the first George Bush....D.C. raised taxes so high the average working person worked for nothing....So D.C. started importing cheaper goods from Asia so there money went further....

But then jobs declined as U.S. corporations moved everything over seas...

Now China makes everything.....

***... McCain and Romney intentionally threw the election so Obama could win.***

My thoughts exactly.

My thoughts on something a high school teacher in 1960 told us..
He said that most small towns have two grocery stores, two hardware stores, two dime stores, two of other stores, so they can claim there is NO monopoly in that town.
Then they have private “under the table” handshakes to not undercut each other and keep their prices high.

In the last few decades I believe the Republicans and Democrats have done the same thing, to share power and not undercut each other. Republicans have the Presidency for a few terms, then the Democrats. The President has already been chosen by them before hand and the election is just a formality.
Why else would a party run a strong candidate and the opposite party always run a weak candidate.

In the 2016 election Hillary was deemed the President and all polls showed she would win. The magazines were already printed of her winning so there was no need to cheat.

Then the voters spoke and Trump won throwing all their power sharing plans into a cocked hat. They could not let that happen again!
The 2020 election was rigged so the Democrats got their candidate elected to be President by fraud.

He will be just a figurehead President as others will make decisions for him.

What else can be shown by both parties for their hatred of Trump?

***Are we going the way of Rome?***

ROME had legions on the Rhine River for centuries, to prevent invasion. When those legions disappeared Rome was overrun.

Where are OUR Legions on the Southern Border?

Freedom, liberty, constitution, most good for the greatest number of humans, military, 1st amendment all are just by-products of why the USA is/was a great nation. The reason is that God decided to use it and caused it to be founded on Christian principles by a people generally desiring to serve God.
But with a large portion of this nation having turned their backs to God, God has given it up to their desires.

The fighting going on this week in Israel goes back to biblical time.. the son who was chosen and the other son who by force wants to be the chosen son.

If they can only kill all Jess and take the land ...as if they can overrule God..

And there are people in our congress who have no knowledge of this history and consider Israel the aggressor.. because they are stronger. Yes.. but hardly the one causing this.

So much fighting...wars.. for that little piece of land.

Where it began and where it will end.

The US is the greatest nation imho because of the Bill of Rights. Any thing that diminishes those Amendments diminishes America. That’s why it’s constantly under attack by the totalitarians.

Congress has voted for an investigation of jan 6.

Riots all summer.. burned businesses and cities.. lives destroyed.. our history torn down...

I heard someone on AV say IF there was a backlash on Jan 6.. the people had enough and all of government had sided with the enemy.. they let the riots go on for months.. then try to pin the fed up conservatives for Jan 6.

No, 50 million immigrants didn’t come to the US in 2019. That is 1/7 of the population of the country. If you believe that, you are a moron.

Actually

You are wrong. Here is the 2020 data:

https://www.un.org/en/desa/international-migration-2020-highlights

“The report found that two thirds of all international migrants live in just 20 countries. The United States of America remained the largest destination, hosting 51 million international migrants in 2020, equal to 18 per cent of the world’s total. Germany hosted the second largest number of migrants worldwide, at around 16 million, followed by Saudi Arabia (13 million), the Russian Federation (12 million) and the United Kingdom (9 million).“
