No, the U.S. is Not on its Knees
American Thinker.com ^ | October 14, 2021 | J.R. Dunn

The United States is now on its knees. It has been shamed before the world. It’s in a state of collapse. It is in a relentless downward spiral, the Babylon of this era, a nation on its way to the graveyard of history.

We’re hearing this from the left, who are always going to be anti-American no matter what the situation, and also from the crybaby branch of movement conservatism, eager to be the first to run out and start shrieking about doom and damnation.

Afghanistan is no joke. It is a miserable situation, a disgrace that should not have happened, a stain upon America’s reputation, and a harbinger of worse to come. The fact that the administration has been begging the OPEC states to open up the oil faucet is not simply shameful along with being an affront to common sense. The situation on the southern border has made no one happy, and has encouraged unbalanced types to assert that the country no longer exists as such, since it no longer possesses firm borders.

But let’s back up a bit. Exactly a year ago, in point of fact. At that time the U.S. was on top of the world, respected by our friends and feared by our enemies. ISIS had been destroyed. The U.S. had, in defiance of fifty years of predictions, achieved the status of a fossil fuel exporter. Illegals had been, if not stymied, reduced to a near-trickle, and an actual border wall was being put in place.

So what happened since then? As we all know, Joe Biden happened… or (as the Arizona audit results have made clear) was made to happen. Within a matter of days after taking office, Biden, out of sheer spite, undermined all the progress the U.S. made under Donald Trump.

If this country isn’t on its knees, it’s floating face-down. I’ve never seen America so beaten down before. It doesn’t even have a sense of self anymore.

A case can be made that it doesn’t even exist.

No borders + corrupt elections = no country

“America is lying face-down in the dirt.“

Yes indeed. The parasites are have sucked nearly every last drop of blood from its host.

What this country needs is IMMEDIATE de-lousing or it’ll never get back up again.

Have we got the nerve?

“The flaw – the left-wing factor – is within. Once we remove that flaw – as occurred in 1980 with Reagan and 2016 with Trump – the country returns to default status: the U.S. as the sole superpower and the Earth’s reigning democratic republic. It is the left-wing kakocrats that are the problem. Eliminate that problem, and the picture changes completely.”

LOL this author. It’s an article of fantasy and unicorns.
