Too true. They all seem to compromise to the ‘inth’ degree.
They are convinced by those there having the power of appointments to committees, etc., and if they do not play the game, they do not get any recognition, they do want to get re-elected so they bend. Corruption results.

God help America.

The fact that America does not appear in the Bible, book of “Revelations”, seems to suggest either America’s fall as a power or our being taken over by another power;(Islam) for instance.

We have turned aside from Christianity and are essentially persecuted for being Christians now. This has been on the rise for many years. So people do not realize it has not been like this ... before Madeline Ohara.

The Day America Spurned God
“But as for my enemies who did not want me for their king,
bring them here and execute them in my presence.”
Luke 19:27

_____________

In June of 1963, the Supreme Court upheld the argument of the atheist Madelyn Murray O’Hare and promulgated an edict with ramifications so widespread it insured that God would be evicted from public society across the entire spectrum of the American governmental system. From that day to this, not only has prayer been outlawed, God’s very name has been declared anathama to the United States Constitution, and forbidden to be mentioned in any federal, state, county, city or municipal context.

Further decrees have revealed the depths of the ouster that initial edict has fostered. Not just prayer is forbidden in the public forum. Display of the cross is forbidden. The Ten Commandments are forbidden. The Bible is forbidden. Nativity plays are forbidden. Even the mere mention of the names “God” or “Jesus” in schools are forbidden. More than that, anything even suggestive of those names is forbidden.

No question about it, Pharaoh’s heart has changed (Exod.14:4).

The government’s legal decision hit like an earthquake when it was first delivered! Up to that moment, most people considered the United States government tantamount to a church. The morality echoed by both was virtually identical. It was that perceived union which inspired the public’s reverence for its political system in the first place. Just as it is today, almost every person in the country at the time of the Court decision was Christian. Displays of the Ten Commandments, the parables, Gospel quotations and Christian exhortations were everywhere. There were prayers in public schools, in public forums, vitually all government affairs and congress. Public grammar schools conducted nativity plays. The morality of the society was Judeo-Christian. Forgiveness was an essential principle in the land. Factors other than money drove the national mind. Businesses closed their doors on Good Friday. God and Jesus were ubiquitous in almost every aspect of American society.

Suddenly all that was gone. All of it purged from the American scene in one sudden ruling.
