can we endure as a nation divided ? Haven't we been doing so ?
A crisis will bring us back as one.
I disagree. What is the standard for the nation we are? Is it what we are now, or is it what our founders envisioned us to be? Yes we have been enduring, but the decay is clearly evident. We have fallen into the division quicksand so far we have lost our focus on who we are, what we stand for, and where we are going. Our core values and vision have been fogged over by greed, false promises, and blind belief on what our government should be. We vote for those that offer us goodies at the expense of others. We use government to save us all the while ruin us. Instead of letting people fail and learn from it, we encourage our government to be invasive rather than streamlined. The I got mine or I'm getting mine mentality, with no regard for at whose expense is dooming us. We have removed God, and the Holy Bible from the public arena, where once He, and His word was the very foundation that America was built on.
By allowing free market corrections, we would have no one but ourselves to blame, when things go wrong or fail, but when we accept governments solutions we always have the other guys government to blame. We no longer take personal responsibility for our failures. We always look to blame others or the other guys government.
Democrats, Republicans, doesn't matter, they all promise the unconstitutional moon, to we the stupid people, and we are swallowing it. But hey, as long as we are getting our free goodies, and making the other half do what we want, who cares? This idea has led us to trillions in debt, with no end of the debt ever subsiding. There was a sound reason government rescue programs, welfare, and entitlements were not written into the Constitution.
We have secret meetings between past presidents and this president with Vincent Fox, Caldron, and Canadian officials scheming an open border policy to form the North American Union. When I was a kid we had one language, English, Now its whatever one feels it should be. As we come more divided the North American Union will become more appealing to citizens. Immigrants have been pouring into this country for years now aiding in crippling our economy, and nothing is done about it. Hey, who cares as long as the goodies keep rolling in at the expense of someone else.
We are no longer the shining beacon of freedom and liberty that bought immigrants to our shores in search of a better life. We are becoming just another slumping, socialist, divided, mess on par with Europe.
Yes we have survived so far, but has America really survived? What kind of crises will make us one? Terrorists bombing us, or flying planes into our buildings. For awhile some will fly their flags, while others will say good for us. Will a government bankruptcy unite us? The ending of welfare and government goodies is not going to be a uniting happening. To be truthful about it the real America is over, but we can still call it America, no matter the amount of tyranny, cultural decay, or if our Constitution is completely discarded.
