Being an American citizen used to mean something; now, not so much. We are on the decline, lacking focus and unable to answer the most important question that matters: what is an American?
By 1800, America was largely an established and cohesive nation. We had an almost industrialized process of taking people in and producing fundamentally similar people, thoroughly American, within a generation or two. This process continued for the next 160 years with laws and policies aiming to integrate immigrants into a predominantly Anglo-Saxon, Protestant identity. Laws were enacted to encourage English language learning and cultural conformity.

An English-speaking man or woman who works, marries, believes in God, has at least 2.2 children, lives in an orderly manner without the requirement for government support, saves for retirement, and centers their lives around their children, recognizing intact families as the highest contribution to society possible.
There are 125 million individuals between 18 and 49, but only 31.1 million are suitable for childbearing. The current birth rate for employed individuals living here is only 1.5 births vs. the 2.1 necessary to sustain the population without immigration.
Couple the above numbers with a significantly declining labor participation rate and the lengthened lives of our citizens, and you can quickly understand how economic calamity is virtually assured

The labor force participation rate in the U.S. has been declining over the past two decades, peaking at around 67% in the early 2000s. It has since dropped to approximately 62.5%

Uh, Earth to Allan...it’s already gone.
It doesn’t even vaguely resemble the America of 1990, much less of 1970. And prior to that...the people who fought the wars, built the joint?
They Gone
A long time ago the hundreds of years ended for false charges against someone in a foreign country resulted in the person saying “You can’t do this to me. I am an American citizen.”
Young people probably never heard of that.
Societal collapse (also known as civilizational collapse or systems collapse) is the fall of a complex human society characterized by the loss of cultural identity and of social complexity as an adaptive system, the downfall of government, and the rise of violence. Possible causes of a societal collapse include natural catastrophe, war, pestilence, famine, economic collapse, population decline or overshoot, mass migration, incompetent leaders, and sabotage by rival civilizations. A collapsed society may revert to a more primitive state, be absorbed into a stronger society, or completely disappear.
Virtually all civilizations have suffered such a fate, regardless of their size or complexity. Most never recovered, such as the Western and Eastern Roman Empires, the Maya civilization, and the Easter Island civilization. However, some of them later revived and transformed, such as China, Greece, and Egypt.

What with Taylor Swift leading the genre, I’d say it’s already lost.

Ezekiel 37:11 Then he said unto 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 cut off for our parts.
19th amendment killed America.
Women should vote in local elections, but not in Federal ones.
An American is a person who is fiercely independent and treasures individual freedom and the right to self-determinism with an unassailable belief and conviction. An American is someone who understands and lives for (and would die for) the right to 'Live Free or Die'.
Muzzie call to prayer is now allowed to broadcast on loud speakers 5 times a day in NYC.
All these things mentioned are NOT CAUSES. THEY ARE SYMPTOMS. There is 1 cause : we have pushed God and His Christ Out Of Our Nation.
When we honestly repent, and turn to a Godly path, then call upon God’s Son, Jesus Yeshua the Christ, to renew our hearts, and lead us in faith unto Him, America will start to heal.
I did not know that. Sadly, not surprising. Harbinger of bad things to come ...
Since you don’t like women voting, why is it ok for women to vote in local elections?
If you’re convinced women vote the wrong way, why is it ok for them to vote the wrong way in local elections?
Pretty easy.
Local laws affect women’s lives,
School, crime, traffic, food costs
housing et al.
Federal laws affect men the most,
we are the ones that fight wars and
have to deal with international crime
and enemies.
That’s it in a nutshell.
Amen
There are many idiot men who vote Dem too; women are NOT singularly responsible for voting for lousy pols.
You may be on the wrong forum, with your benighted attitude/way of thinking.
Amen
Legalized abortion, homosexuality, fornication and transgenderism. Secular humanism is the state religion. Destruction of marriage and family. Widespread corruption and irreversible debt. America is done, we just don’t realize it. We don’t see the judgment all around us as globalism, fraud and Islam flood in. GOD could save us, but that requires nationwide turning from sin and the humility to ask Him to save us. That’s not likely to happen. Best thing to do now is to ensure you’re right with Jesus and then help others do the same.
