I wish I could be more optimistic but America is going down. The impotent republicans and Obama are destroying our country and it may happen in our lifetime.
Having missed out on being born during the depression or the WWII era, I would have to say that the greatest strength I’ve seen in my lifetime has been President Ronald Reagan. The greatest weakness, our current culture.
Unless our culture changes, I see our future as CS Lewis so aptly put it, “We will not end with a bang but with a whimper.”
