Very, very good! Watching America, that is, America as the USA die is very painful, but God has his plans. After this demonic age, peace will return to the world. And there’s no doubt in my mind that a new America, a Christian Kingdom, will be reborn on the blood of her martyrs and her patriots.
An excellent essay. I’ve had this feeling for a long, long, time. The USA has become the ancient Canaanites, who sacrificed their children to Molech.
And once a society does that, destruction isn’t far behind.
I call it Obamacide.
bttt
Remember, 2012, Obama is to use a familar phraise of “March Madness”, “one and DONE”.
I like that!

“The America of my time line is a laboratory example of what can happen to democracies, what has eventually happened to all perfect democracies throughout all histories. A perfect democracy, a ‘warm body’ democracy in which every adult may vote and all votes count equally, has no internal feedback for self-correction. It depends solely on the wisdom and self-restraint of citizens… which is opposed by the folly and lack of self-restraint of other citizens. What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it… which for the majority translates as ‘Bread and Circuses.’
‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome.”
— Robert A. Heinlein
Yes, and aren’t we very much like Sodom and Gomorrah?
YES!
And at the same time, seeing the end is nigh, the “Elites”, the wealthy, well educated and influential.......start bailing out. And that’s another sign of the decline from within. It explains a lot. It explains why, each election cycle, the quality of the candidates deteriorates. It explains how it has come to pass that the Fed and it’s Banks have taken over the operation of the economy without challenge. It explains how Obama can make war in Libya without consulting Congress and finally, it explains why no one in Congress will challenge Obama on this unconstitutional usurpation of authority. And against this back-drop of abandonment, one can see that the higher “organs” of gov’t appear to be playing out a script rather than operating independently as would the institutions of a sovereign nation.
"The Roman Republic fell, not because of the ambition of Caesar or Augustus, but because it had already long ceased to be in any real sense a republic at all. When the sturdy Roman plebeian, who lived by his own labor, who voted without reward according to his own convictions, and who with his fellows formed in war the terrible Roman legion, had been changed into an idle creature who craved nothing in life save the gratification of a thirst for vapid excitement, who was fed by the state, and who directly or indirectly sold his vote to the highest bidder, then the end of the Republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing.”
Teddy Roosevelt on the Fall of the Republic
Good read. However, I do want to state that SOME kids really need some of these meds to function, and to be successful in their endeavors. My son was having a terrible time in high school maintaining his grades and focus on school. At 17, we finally put him on a dose of ADD medication — it enabled him to graduate and to move forward with his life. And he’s far from a drug addict — has enrolled in community college and is progressing well now, and is taking no medication at this point.
One might need to ask WHY our kids need these meds? Is there something in the environment that has changed their brains? I have this son and one w/ mild autism ...something definitely effected my sons. I have an older daughter who never needed meds and who was a high achiever in school and still is in the work world.
However I do agree than many of our young people are under the grip of a philosophy that is pure evil. The homosexual lobby just has their claws into them. Don’t EVEN try to be among a group of young people anymore and say anything derogatory about homosexuals or the lifestyle ..they’ll rip you to shreds. They are absolutely indoctrinated.
It’s almost impossible to get motivated to become productive and creative member of society. Why bother when nearly everyone is in the country is a piece of trash? Of course, there are still people worth helping (mainly children and the “great generation”) but you can’t really help them anyway. No matter what you do the leftist vermin will still find a way to destroy most of them.
It is so very easy to do evil and so very hard to do good. That’s why the vermin win the battle so easily! We have to work 1000X as hard!
I get up in the morning to pay the bills and that’s it. If I accidentally stumble upon someone who is worth helping than I’ll help them. The rest are to be treated as less than human. They are even less than feral animals. They are a deadly virus known as leftist vermin. Not only will I refuse to treat them with respect and dignity, I will treat them with savage brutality. No words will be spoken.
I’m 26 and I don’t have a single friend my age. My generation is the most disgusting and worthless generation in the entire history of humanity. Even the ones who seem to be nice and decent people are usually harboring hidden corruption. I would estimate that only 20-30% of young adults are actual human beings.
If the boomers don’t fully run this country to the ground, the 20 somethings will crush it utterly.
I fear for my two baby nephews who will never know anything other than misery, poverty, chaos, and horror. Worse yet there is nothing I can do to protect them.
Soothesayer, I know what you mean. I have worked w/ a lot of young people as a nurse — (I started the profession later in life). I am just generally very wary of them after sitting and listening in on their conversations. Many that i know well are very liberal, are very open about gays homosexuality, abortion, etc. Several of the nurses I’d worked with had already had MULTIPLE abortions — they take it so casually — like it’s no big deal. A couple claim to be lesbians ...and the way I see it ..they are just into experimentation with it. NONE seem to have any serious plans to marry ever, or settle down. It’s just not done ...they’re too busy partying, traveling, wasting time, etc.
All of that said, I have a 23 year old daughter who is a fantastic young gal — very successful so far. Howver, she lives in NYC, indpendently, has a boyfriend, and I have very little control over her life at this point. I worry about her — she’s a bit too casual w/ the boyfriend at times ...but overall, she’s a great person.I don’t think you can always generalize ....however, on the whole, what I’ve seen so far I’m just not that impressed with younger people today. I’m 47 and in “my day” most kids were pretty ambtious - at least the ones I knew. Today they seem to lack ambition and caring about their fellow man.
Anyway, don’t give up hope ..if you’re friends w/ older people so be it. I do feel there are great young folks out there ... you just have to dig a bit deeper.
You could say its Obamacide, but all of this has been developing for a very long time. I believe the 60’s ushered in most of this rot — it’s just been fermenting and accelerating. This election was a symptom of it all ...
Sometimes I see hope ...the love of my family, seeing a newborn child, spending time w/ children, younger kids, etc. But the most hope we have is in Christ — that is how it’s always been.
Things have become so awful that I made the decision to never have a family. Even though there would have been nothing I’d love better than to watch my kids grow up, that just isn’t an option. I cannot allow them to live in a communist hellhole and risk their corruption and destruction. Adoption would be a second choice if only the system didn’t regard them as state property to be taken away at the slightest sign that I’m not brainwashing them into the ways of the world. The vermin generation have taken all my dreams away. Now I am merely trying to get done with life until the gift of death arrives.
I’m also starting a career in health-care and very afraid of overhearing those types of conversations you mentioned. I simply cannot work with people who believe their patients and even their own children are disposable sacks of meat. Not only that, but I lack the willpower to “suck up” to enemies of humanity. It’s going to be a BIG problem.
Oh, Soothsayer ...if you find someone - I’d advise you to have a family. I just might advise you to go live in a farm and become self sufficient w/ that family ...I just would reject the “system” we’re in now and make up my own, live off the land, etc.
I know it must be hard on a person your age ...you might want to become a bit more oblivious to it, so as not to torture yourself too much over it. It’s sort of always been bad, though — that’s why you MAKE a life of your own ...as a comfort and a defense against all of it.
