He’s not wrong. Personally, I see the country as having crossed the line, and that in its current form the country is beyond saving. And though I too would like to see the country spared and healed, when the murder of innocent babies is condoned, when homosexuality is legalized, when slavery still exists (all condoned and made possible by the Demoratic Party), then I honestly see no hope of that happening.

We need to restore REAL FREEDOM. Low taxes, no welfare, no public spending on healthcare or education. No minimum wages or government-mandated work rules. A tiny government. Few regulations and fewer rules related to zoning or building codes.

Of course, if we’re going to return to freedom, we have to understand what that means. Unbridled opportunity also means unbridled risks. Some people WILL be left behind. America will have to be once again no place for the slothful or the stupid. Those traits will have consequences.

The great economist Tyler Cowen talks of “recreating a Mexico-like or
Brazil-like environment” in some places. That means allowing the creation of shanty towns with little or no plumbing or access to clean water as we now define it. That’s where the “poor” will really feel the weight of their bad choices. The existence of that kind of poverty will be a powerful motivator for most Americans — who will rise to the challenge of avoiding it. In short: The wages of sin really will be death. But prosperity will have no upper limit.

I agree 100%. If God chooses, He will intervene. But I strongly feel the USA is currently being judged. It’s just a matter of time. God is raising up other nations and the rot within us is weakening us as well. The Old Testament gives many examples.
