There is still hope as long as people remember that 'character' above all else defines us.
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. . . . You ask,
what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with
all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war
against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable
catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I
can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in
spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for
without victory there is no survival."
- Winston Churchill
Unfortunately I believe there are very few Americans who would express WC's words. Some have become so immersed in Political Correctness that they have become cowards and worshippers of the status quo, whatever that means to anyone as it is ever changing.
We have been exposed to the evil that is government usurpation by small degrees and some are amazed at how deeply we have sunk. Further, some are shocked at what we have allowed our political class to do to us.
Having said that I will never believe that we can't reverse this evil, but it will take mountains of help from our Creator.
