Why Is The United States The Greatest Nation
Me | May 23, 2021 | Vanity

Posted on 05/23/2021 5:48:09 PM PDT by frnewsjunkie

The United States.. is it the greatest nation? What made us the most and the best? Who do we thank?

Why have we become a place where many would like to call home.

Are we going to keep our freedoms?

Was. And it was the greatest country, because the Founders gave America the best possible country on this side of eternity.

Now that America seems to be firmly in the hands of the communists, I fear for its future.

Why presume it’s firmly there?

If God put it there to wake us up and teach us a lesson, He can wrest it back out just as easily.

I wouldn’t call the RINO years “doing OK” either. A lot of faith was being destroyed in those years.

Liberty. That was what made it best. Its been a long downhill descent since then. I still believe Article V is the best way back up.

What you say is true, but it requires repentance on the part of Americans. See repentance.

However, I only know that time is short and America is supposed to be the Second Beast of Revelations, in league with the First beast. I’m uncertain if America can come back and I grieve fjrbthat.

But, maybe it isn’t time yet.

One thing that is disturbing is that both McCain and Romney intentionally threw the election so Obama could win.

People forget that by the time of the second election, Obama was one of the most unpopular presidents ever, vying with Jimmy Carter for number 1. I thought nobody could lose to him. But Romney pulled it off.

Because it has done the most good for the greatest number of humans in the history of the world.

Liberals are people who would go to their own family reunion and bash it while praising other families.

The US Constitution is a God inspired document. We were founded on principles to ensure equality and freedom. As long as God is our beacon and Whom we look up to, we are the greatest nation. But liberals and Democrats are dragging us to Hell with abortion, Affirmative Action, corrupt politicians and corrupt elections. With BLM burning and looting with impunity and cops told to “stand down” and legal protests at the Capital are met with unjust and heavy handed treatment, then we are no longer the greatest nation on earth but a mediocre one.

Are we going the way of Rome? If so I don’t think anything can be done about it.

We are the only country ever founded on the principle that people have God-given rights that precede and override anything that any temporal government wishes to do.

That is what makes us the best country ever seen on the face of the Earth. That, and that alone.

Answer. Our Constitution.
It is the First and Only governing document in the History of Mankind that acknowledges the Sovereignty of the people. Of each individual.
That the USA is a government OF, BY, and FOR the PEOPLE. And, it established firm boundaries that the government must operate within and established a Bill of Rights for the People that the government CANNOT Infringe upon.
Leftists (democrats) and Communists (democrats), despise our Constitution because in serves as an impediment to their desire for a Centralized government power from Ruling Over We the People. To control us and dictate to us what we can and cannot do, or think, or believe.
It is Our Constitution that keeps us a free people. Totalitarians for well over 150 years have been trying to undermine our Constitution relentlessly. And, over time they have succeeded in weakening it tremendously but, they have not yet done away with it. Though that is their goal.

“I thought nobody could lose to him. But Romney pulled it off.”

You don’t really doubt that it was election fraud that put the Nairobi Kid in office, do you?

We’re only still the best only because the rest of the west is going to shyte at an equal or faster rate than us, not because we’re making any strides forward. Poland perhaps is the only outlier.

The future of America is in the hands of American patriots.

We whom know, are tasked with teaching the young.

Our nation was founded on the principle of "posterity"

The Founders knew, or expected, they would not live to see the fruition of their efforts, but they strove anyway.

THAT IS WHAT IS MISSING TODAY.

We are in a ME social structure and it does not include YOU .... not you now .... and not you later.

Just me, now.

asexual kids don't make babies, and if they do, those precious souls are lost on a social mish mash of I think I thinks.

The correction is scriptural teaching.

The first "social" structures to be built in American towns were a school and and a church.

They pretty much had the food, liquor, hardware store stuff down to exist and now babies were growing and needed more than just corn/cattle fed rations and 12 hour days ... they needed an education and just about everybody had, and knew SOMETHING about the Bible and morality and sin, and spiritual laws, but not as a formal structural base.


Today we have government indoctrination centers and few gospel preaching/teaching churches.

The easiest and fastest thing to do is get folks to go to good gospel preaching churches.

If we can't do that, no legislation nor 2nd amendment retaliation will accomplish much

My own opinion... our country was formed by men who heard from God when writing the Constitution..

I believe God used this nation to be a centerpiece for other countries who would have tried for complete power over all. We have been the deterent.

We have fought wars, and did not take land.. we helped nations and fed nations.

We also have been a Christian nation until Obama said to the world, we are not.

I use past tense.. because it’s all going downhill.. and the left know how to do that better than anyone.

The words of a dispensationist, which has only been happening in the last 100 years. Why? Because the pentecostal/charismatics have been a fringe. If not a fringe, then why with aiiavem praying ‘no obama’, and ‘no biden’, did it not happen?
P.S. its been reported 1/3 of millenials don’t care and want no part of organized religion.
Who’s fault is that?

So many churches are using world ways to build a congregation. No absolutes... just wide open ‘whatever.

Music .. rock music.. acceptance of any lifestyle... no preaching that might sting..
Just go along...

Absent? The Holy Spirit.
