Times and things change... democracy is temporary. Christ is forever.
“We are entering darker days than even the Founding of the United States had to endure.”
I think that what causes the downfall of most Republics is that the young people fail to learn from history and a revolt, violent or nonviolent, against the Republic consumes them.
These thoughts used to bother me so, but the Bible tells me how this ends. Come quickly Lord Jesus!

Is this your Opus?
Is the fainting couch nearby?
If this country cannot wipe out and destroy Democrat election fraud, then I may have to agree with you.
Just finished my Gospel reading this morning Luke 11:17 HE said “any kingdom filled with civil war is doomed; so is a home filled with argument and strife”
There have been too many revivals in this country for me to be that pessimistic. When we’re up against it, freedom always prevails. I agree that we’re on a downward slide on a macro scale, but it will take many decades before we go the way of Rome. That is because we still have a foundation of freedom, plus two good oceans to protect us. I disagree that this was the “most important election of our lifetime”. Bottom line, I’d rather be us than them.
We Had a Good Run,
Try not to be Bitter.
**United States of America (U.S.A.) has population of over 326 million which is ranking 3rd most populous country in the world after China and India. USA is also Word’s 3rd largest country with size of 9.834 million km²**
So 325,500,000 people are going about their daily lives; working, taking care of families and getting along with neighbors and strangers.
The 500K folks you read about in the news or hear about on TV are just a tiny group of criminals or power obsessed jerks.
Relax and live your life in Christ.

In 2011 we moved in, and in 2013 bought the adjacent 20 acres which gave us two streams.
Only about 10% of the reason for doing this was for “SHTF”. It’s now 50%. And it would be 80% except we love it here so much that that is half the reason we’re still here.
But anyone familiar with human nature and history knows this road has just about reached its end. It will not be pretty.
It may not be the young fail to learn. It may be a case of the ones with the knowledge failing to teach.
OPUS!?!
.
Suicide Watch perhaps.
The western part of the Roman empire didn't die out until four hundred years later. The eastern part took another 1000 years to bite the dust.
I believe we are on the beginning of a long decline that may take centuries to unfold. It's sad, because it looked like things were on the up-and-up through the 50's. Some would even say things kept improving, at least technologically and in some ways culturally into 2000.
I think we're now talking about "Peak US". And no amount of flag waving or talk of taking back the country is going to stop this. The country has been taken and taken in by our liberal culture.
So I don't think there's going to be some dramatic apocalypse type moment in our lifetimes. Things are just going to get more restrictive, more annoying, more cumbersome, more unspeakable, more licentious, more illiterate, etc.
“I think that what causes the downfall of most Republics is that the young people fail to learn from history and a revolt, violent or nonviolent, against the Republic consumes them.”
Hard to learn from history when the left who monopolizes the education system won’t teach history or re-writes history.
Tell your doc you need a refill of your prescription.
Are you serious. What has this forum become??? You are all a bunch of cowards that would rather roll over and die then fight for our children’s future. Are you really going to let a minor setback stop you from doing what we need to do? I guess I was mistaken in thinking Freepers were strong men and women who would fight for whats right regardless of the outcome...I guess I was mistaken.
The rest of you can go cry in your soup and hold your head down...Id rather die on my feet than live on my knees. Now is the time to take a stand...Trump cant do it without us. We need be bolder and more resilient than ever before. Quit whining, start thinking positive. We are on the side of good we will win but only if you quit acting like defeatist and snowflakes.
The crisis in America is in my opinion due to the Church’s refusal to preach/teach the inerrant Word of God. Prophecy News Watch had an article on Saturday stating that the Sanhedrin is wanting the newly elected mayor of Jerusalem to begin the building of the Third Temple. And did you notice we now have “Generation Z”? I believe we are right up against the 7th Week of Daniel (7 years). Everyone needs to be “ready” . . .God is in control of everything including our next breath. http://www.patburt.com
