Is The Sun Setting on America?

 

 

Twilight is Here

"A nation of lost sheep will beget a government of wolves." 

America has been led astray by wolves in sheep's clothing, and the Pied Piper of "equity and tolerance."

Men, like nations, think they're eternal.  What man in his 20s doesn't believe he'll live forever? In the springtime of youth, endless summers beckon. As you pass 70, it's harder to hide from reality.    

Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century contemplating an empire stretching from Britain to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever... Forever was about 500 years. France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now the land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of the Muslim ummah.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the sun never set on the British empire; now with the passing of its 96-year-old sovereign, Great Britain is a symbol of a nation in decline. In the 80s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world. Business schools taught Japanese management techniques. Today, its birth rate is so low and the population aging so rapidly an entire industry has sprung up to remove the remains of elderly Japanese who die alone.

Mid-20th century America's prestige and influence were never greater. We saved Europe twice in the 20th century, once from World War I, and then, thanks to the 'Greatest Generation, we won World War II. We reduced Germany to rubble and put the rising sun to bed. Then in an unprecedented humanitarian and economic gesture, used our resources, skills, and technology to rebuild nineteen nations of Europe and the entire nation of Japan.   It set the stage for half a century of unprecedented prosperity and growth.

We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and began the exploration of space. We conquered Polio and COVID. We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA.

But where is the glory that once was Rome, England, and France? America today finds itself moving from a relatively free economy to socialism - which has worked so well NOWHERE in the world. Why?

We've gone from a Republic government guided by a Constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less freedom with each passing year. Like a signpost to the coming reign of terror, cancel culture is everywhere. We've traded the American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.

Suddenly, we won’t defend our borders, our history (including monuments to greatness), or our streets. Our cities have become anarchist playgrounds. Crime is rampant.  Drugs like fentanyl, another gift from China, killed over 100,000 young Americans last year. Homeless veterans camp in the streets while illegal aliens are put up in elegant hotels, and given food, healthcare, and cell phones. Over the last two years since Biden took office, over 5.0 million illegal immigrants have entered the U.S. without our consent, with another 500,000 to 600,000 more unaccounted for. A nation without borders is not a nation. The U.S. taxpayer is paying the bill for all of these illegal immigrants.

A President who can't quote the beginning of the Declaration of Independence correctly. Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that 5th graders could pass a generation ago. Murders, rapes, burglaries, and car theft rates soar and our President and a complicit media blame the 2nd Amendment and then slash police budgets.

We spend vast amounts of taxpayer money… $369 billion on "climate change." As if the government can control the climate. It can’t even control telemarketing calls. And in a period of inflation, the President thinks hiring 87,000 IRS Agents is a good way to curb costs!

Our culture is certifiably insane. Men pretend they're women, women pretend they‘re men... and demand we pretend with them. And let us not forget those non-binary or genderqueer people who identify not solely male or female‍. God help us! What will we tolerate next? 

People fight racism by seeking to convince members of one race they're inherently evil, and others they are perpetual victims. 

School psychologists, teachers, and doctors encourage students to have gender transformation surgeries and undergo gender hormone therapy without parental consent. Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath….”First, do no harm”?

America has allowed the slaughter of the unborn in the name of a “woman’s right to choose” without mention of the life killed in the womb. Our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our national debt is so high we can no longer pretend we will repay it. It's a $31 trillion monument to our refusal to confront reality.  

Our 'entertainment' is sadistic, nihilistic, and as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is noise that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.

Patriotism is called insurrection, treason celebrated, and perversion sanctified. Our military and police in uniform get less respect than a man in a dress. We're asking soldiers to fight for a nation in which our leaders no longer believe. And if the best and brightest we recruited to serve in uniform refuse to be injected with the experimental COVID vaccine, they are dismissed from military service and denied their retirement benefits.

How meekly most Americans submitted to Fauci-ism (the regime of face masks, lockdowns, and hand sanitizers). The question posed is… does all of this portend the impending death of the American spirit?  

America was once a great nation made up of great people. Now it’s slipping. How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?

Fighting endless wars they can't or won't win

Accumulating debt far beyond the ability to repay

Refusing to guard their borders

Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule

Indoctrination rather than education ("correct pronouns" and drag queen shows are more important)

Moving from a Republic form of government to socialism

Indulging laziness

Abandoning faith and family - the bulwarks of social order

In America, these symptoms are pronounced, indicating an advanced stage of disease. We will never get our country back on track. America is past the point of no return. America has forgotten and forsaken the God who blessed America above all nations. Our destiny is sealed.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" ~ Isaiah 5:20

"Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!” ~ Mark 6:11

What will rise from the ashes? As it is written: “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our LORD and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” ~ Revelation 11:15
