The article fails to mention the huge success of the 100 year long communist project to destroy the USA and make everybody “equal.”

Here’s a question that popped to mind while reading this. All the statistical trends cited are bad news, and their cause is usually attributed to the evils of Communist ideology and Communist dictators. Yet if that explanation is accurate, those countries that are governed by Communist dictators should be plagued with the same social, economic, and cultural evils we are now experiencing here. So the question is, are they? Now before anyone gets apoplectic, I’m not asking this question as an opening salvo in defense of any form of Leftist ideology!

Only 38% of Americans now say patriotism is "very important," compared to 70% in 1998. Thirty-nine percent say religion is "very important," compared to 62% in 1998. And 30% say having children is "very important" compared to 59% in 1998.

Those three leaders (Clinton, Bush, Obama) murdered this country, the citizens are not committing suicide. And now the feeble puppet eats ice cream while Obama executes the final transformation!

And women who bemoan “Maybe I should have given some of those guys a break. They weren’t so bad.

Don't blame it all on the women.

A Nation Committing Suicide

Historian Arnold Toynbee observed "an autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide."

Ezekiel 37:11. Then he said to me, son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off:

Yeah, well history's gonna change. ~ Marty McFly

The Jewish people have always managed to see beyond the difficulties -- even tragedies -- of the moment towards a better future, one in which the "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:9). Thus, Rabbi Akiva could laugh (see Makkot 24b) when seeing foxes running on the Temple Mount, confident that whatever the level of destruction today, the rebuilding in the future would be that much greater. Despite the long and, at times, bitter exile, the Jewish people have been true to this teaching, having never forgotten Jerusalem, never ceased mourning for her, knowing that the Jewish people would merit seeing the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The Jewish people learned to be a patient people, full of faith that a mournful today would give way to a joyous tomorrow

I would suggest, however, that our Sages were not necessarily talking about a distant future. Rather, they were instructing us subtly -- as is often their way -- as to how to achieve the rejoicing here and now. The path to the rebuilding of Zion is through properly mourning for it.

“We are now in such a moral decline, God will need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah if HE doesn’t punish America”!!

It’s happening and will intensify every day. We won’t recognize America by the end of 2025, imo.

No, marxist communists are murdering it.

So are the "Patriotic" "Conservative" "Capitalists" who sent our manufacturing, technology, and money to the Chicoms for the promise of saving $.10 on communist made paint brushes.

Very well said….and your opinion is mine also. Gay marriage, boys in girls restrooms, men in woman’s sports, trans XYZ’s in every government office….how the mighty US has fallen…With Biblical consequences….Biden’s Ukie war , war, war, war, no cries for Peace. “Blessed are the Peacemakers…”

Well, cursed are the Warmakers….as we are starting to see in our country.

Carry on war cheerleaders, your road leads to our destruction. Prepare accordingly…….

Open borders turned America from a nation into an economic zone full of people who don’t care about its history or culture.

Marriage and birth rates fall in bad economic times and when there is great social upheaval. Look at Russia, which has had a declining population since the Soviet Union fell. If there is no way to make a living people, reasonably, don’t have kids. I recently read that for the first time ever China had gone through a ninety-day period with zero births. The upheaval in the US is economic, political and the LGBT craziness. It’s like the people leading us are insane. Who would invest in a child only to have some cult cause them to cut their genitals off? Yes, that might still be a wonderful person, but if your goal was to send your genes down the timeline, you’ve made the investment and failed.

Can’t have a New World Order with a sovereign America.

You are witnessing the destruction of the United States of America.

Especially since 2008.

If patriotism is not important to you, then you are not an American.

Kindly unass yourself from this country.

The “sexual revolution” (Pill, abortion, divorce/remarriage, fornication, homosexuality, etc.) was long underway when Obama was a kid. Who ushered that in?

Obama was perhaps a consequence of that?
