This republic has changed dramatically in recent years -- politically, morally, and, perhaps most significantly, demographically.
Section 15 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (a precursor to The Declaration of Independence) that was adopted by the Virginia Constitutional Convention on June 12, 1776, states: “That no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”
Does that appear to be the case today?
Let’s go item by item. Clearly, many of us are not firmly adhered to justice. Those on The Left routinely take the side of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers as opposed to law enforcement … or those who have been the victims of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers.
Moreover, a two-tiered system of justice has taken hold nationally, in which members of certain groups are deliberately treated differently than others.
Moderation? There’s a cannabis dispensary on every street corner, liquor stores are open on Sundays, fentanyl kills scores of thousands annually, some states hand out free crack pipes, gambling is systemic and ubiquitous, most of us cannot stop looking at our smart phones, and many more are addicted to video games and/or porn.
Next up is frugality. O.K., I can’t even write the word with a straight face. The U.S. is nearing 40-trillion dollars in debt and spends substantial sums of money on things like an Iraqi version of Sesame Street. On an individual level, most of us are determined to get that new Apple iPhone or big screen television whether we need — or can afford — it or not.
On to virtue. See the aforementioned for starters. There is entirely too much virtue-signaling and not nearly enough actual virtue

That includes a good chunk of the republican party
Unfortunately, this takes and has taken the GOP as well—Congress and the President.

but He can turn that on a dime if we repent and invite Him into the center of our lives
The majority of the country is fine. It’s the liberal cities that’s the problem and that’s where all the news is 24/7.
Even liberal run states have large areas of normal people but the power and problems are the cities because of the populations.
Western Europe was ostensibly Christian but abandoned Christianity in the last 50 years or so. Again, God is using the descendants of Ishmael to destroy them.
Sound familiar? Dearborn, etc?
thank you for posting these
so true
What is the date on this?
Virginia. The home of this government. Ok. Not impresssed
Maybe you should listen to it. I heard it years ago
I *posted* it.
When was the last time you listened to it
What is the title of t? The date?
No. We are several nations, under a bunch of crooks, and we are already thoroughly, completely, and apparently irrevocably, divided.
Last night.
And when did it come out
Date
Came out “1 year ago” according to YouTube.
Factor in to how far gone the republic is is the fact that the Left are by nature organized and visible. I doubt they are like the proverbial iceberg. If they were the local cops in Minneapolistan wouldn’t be arresting “protesters”. They’ve been playing on this constant loud violent visibility every single day since the late sixties.
Is there a title
