As an American, I fear for our children's and grandchildren's future: There are significant institutional failures that do not bode well for America's short- or long-term safety.
American Thinker ^ | 06/27/2022 | Steve Daly

The last thing any nation wants to see is the decline of its safety (think: an empire losing strength as barbarians are set to storm the gates). In our case, the signs of decay are there for anyone to see. But of course, there are none so blind as those who will not see.

Here are four examples of troubling trends:

Leadership: With Biden, America has a chief executive who must resort to cue cards to know how to enter a room, sit down, and give preapproved and scripted answers to reporters' questions while acting as if his answers sprang spontaneously from some depth of understanding.  He is also a shallow president who seems to relish his power and doesn't shy from insulting and alienating half the country with pugilistic threats.

The scary part to me is that the president of the Russian Federation, Putin, can present an in-depth and even professorial speech to the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum Plenary that expresses in fine detail his government's position on the changing world economics and the war in Ukraine.  Whether his assertions are valid or not, the message follows a certain logical progression.

The difference the two leaders show in intellectual capacity is scary.


Fascistic protesters.  The New Testament states that a house divided cannot stand.  Is America that house?

A second Civil War may already be underway and we don't realize it yet.  After all, Marxist extremists identifying as Antifa are physically assaulting Americans who participate in pro-America demonstrations.  In the cases of Portland's Aaron Danielson and Denver's Lee Keltner, Trump-supporters are getting murdered, and Lee Keltner's killer walked away.

How ironic that the so-called antifascist group Antifa is acting very much like how the Nazi Brownshirts in Germany did in the 1930s.

Found out recently I will be a grandfather soon. I worry everyday about the future of this country. In the past I always had hope for the future no matter how bad things were. Now it feels like we’ve past a point of no return.

It’s not about just right vs. left. Now it’s about patriots vs. those who hate this country. If we can’t even agree on the most basic level that we love our country, I don’t know how we climb out of this without massive upheaval.
Civil war once seemed like a ridiculous notion for a country such as ours. Now the only reason it seems unlikely is due to logistics.

This article mentions lots of bad things but leaves out the most important: a stolen landslide election. If politicans know they can’t be voted out they can enrich themselves at our expense in ways that a typical criminal can only dream about.

One of the foremost constitutional theorists of the founding generation, John Adams, observed, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”1 He wasn’t the only Founding Father to hold this view. Indeed, James Madison wrote that our Constitution requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.”

Excellent observation.
It really makes one wonder: How and where can one go to just live on the margins? There have to be lots of people yearning for that type of option.
Suburbs used to do this, to a degree.

Indeed there are. Every day brings news of another of our institutions incompetence and corruption.

I can honestly say that I've always voted in the interest of my country, my children and grandchildren....and I can honestly say that I'm very big on my legacy and hope to leave some nice change for the children when I get the boot out of here.....

if there be trouble, let it be in my time, so my children and grandchildren will not be hurt by it.....

this...

look almost NOBODY wants drag queen pedos in schools or libraries, we don't want special priviledges for trannies or gays and we don't want rainbow flags ...

but politico must know that they are immune to the wants and needs of the citizens....they shove it in our face.

The obvious choice for going Galt is Alaska . But only if you are young. Old guys like me will make our last stand right where we are.

This country will barely survive Biden’s reign, he’s done more damage in such a short time than I ever thought possible.

Congratulations!!!

There's your bundle of hope and joy right there.

The sunshine thieves are out in force from all directions. They know they only have a short time left. Hang tight.

Without putting a stop to Congress this year and returning the presidency to Trump or someone with Trump-like values in 2024, the USA as we know it is finished. Anyone with integrative thinking skills can see that the path we are on leads to radical change and collapse. With election fraud, a dishonest median, and corrupt deep state already rampant it may already be too late. But people have a tremendous capacity for tolerance, like the frog in the pot of hot water.
