I believe a lot of idolization of this republic has died. The icon has feet that are now visibly of clay.
And that, we should all hope, will serve to remind people that their hope never should have been in an earthly country.
Once people have started to look for their hope directly in a supernatural Lord in spite of natural circumstances, I believe they will (as even I) be pleasantly surprised. God always was ready to be the octane in our gas, as it were, but we never took it seriously enough as long as things were nice on earth and we did not have to fight prolonged battles against the devil. This has changed.
To love freedom of religion and our country and be concerned for our families is part of the spiritual war against Satan and his minion politicians and scum judges both in America and abroad. Blood flowing from Christian veins and even pagan veins for murder because of religious belief is not acceptable to Christians who love God and Christ like myself and like our forefathers who fled such evil in their country to begin America.
Scum of America, do not tread on me!
Of course Daniel 2:33 refers to "feet part of iron and part of clay". It seems that this is too complicated for the popular understanding, as evidenced by the epithet, "feet of clay". I guess it all comes out in the wash.
