The 'Ring Of Fire Is Shaking Violently'



THE RING OF FIRE IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY


 





Published on May 18, 2015


The 'Ring Of Fire Is Shaking Violently' - Massive Uptick In Earthquakes And Volcano Eruptions - Earth 'Is Becoming Increasingly Unstable'



Massive uptick In earthquakes And volcano eruptions occurred between May 9, 2015 to May 15, 2015, surrounding the "Ring of Fire," which is were about 90%of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur, according to Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_...



Not only is there tremendous earthquake activity shaking the earth in these locations, but according to The Economic Collapse Blog, using information obtained from Volcano Discovery, 40 volcanoes around the globe are erupting right now, and 34 of them are along the Ring of Fire.


To give context to what this means, they explain "there were a total of 3,542 volcanic eruptions during the entire 20th century. When you divide that number by 100, that gives you an average of about 35 volcanic eruptions per year. So the number of volcanoes that are erupting right now is well above the 20th century’s average for an entire calendar year."



This escalation of activity, specifically surrounding the Ring of Fire, which has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes spanning 25,000 miles in a horseshoe shape, leads Michael Snyder from the Economic Collapse Blog to state "the Ring of Fire is shaking violently," and Earth "is becoming increasingly unstable."

un-a-lien-able rights NOT un-alien-able rights


 
 
It’s always bugged me that people pronounce it un-alien-able rights. By saying it this way, people start to subconsciously  think that it means not a foreign right or rights for illegal aliens (be them from across the border or the galaxy).

According to Webster 1828 dictionary, it is to be pronounced un-a-lien-able rights. Now this makes sense to me, not a lien abled (enabled) right.  This means that no part of the right can be transferred, sold or taken away.

So I think I will go with un-a-lien-able rights, not a lien enabled on my rights.

Americans Lose the Meaning of Fourth of July


Americans Lose the Meaning of Fourth of July




You may have heard of Mark Dice. Armed with his microphone and a video camera, Dice makes a habit of doing 'man on the street' interviews that show up just how ignorant people can be.

He's topped himself this time with a video in which he grills people in San Diego about the Fourth of July.
To say that it's embarrassing how little Americans know about the beginning of their own country doesn't even begin to express how dumb the people in this video are.


Name one of the Founding Fathers, one person is asked.
"Abraham Lincoln?" comes the response, in the form of a question like on "Jeopardy."


Another person is asked, what country did we declare our independence from?
"The South," this one replied.


Must have something to do with the Confederate battle flag.


'President' Obama's educational influence shows up when one subject is asked how many stars are on the U.S. flag -- "uh, fifty-something?"


The problems with this country go deeper than just not knowing the salient facts about the Fourth of July and Old Glory, of course.


The very principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence are not merely forgotten but actually rejected by a large part of the U.S. populace, particularly on the Left.


Politicians will give lip service to the part about all men being created equal, but that's about as far as it goes. They'll throw welfare, food stamps, free housing and free phones at the poor, but they won't take any steps to wean the recipients off the 'government' and help them stand on their own two feet. When challenged, the Left dusts off its indignation and takes a stance of moral superiority based on their willingness to spend your taxpayer money.


It's the "soft bigotry of low expectations," as President George W. Bush said. The liberal prescription for the poor and non-whites amounts to little more than a less-demanding form of plantation slavery with 'government' as master.


What the Left really hates about the Declaration, however, is the part that spells out that rights come from God, not from politicians seeking votes. The Left cannot abide acknowledging God in any aspect. And the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?


At best, that gets garbled into "I have the right to demand 'government' makes me happy." Not that anyone holding such a belief ever is happy. Forget about life and liberty. But gay marriage? They're all about that.


Then there's the whole section about people having the right to overthrow a tyrannical government. That might be OK when there's a Dubya in office, but not when it's one of their own handing out baskets of government goodies and pats on the head.


Liberals' support for the Declaration of Independence is inversely proportional to their fear of armed conservatives taking away their illicit privileges. Needless to say, the Declaration is on the outs these days.




Thanks to Howard Zinn, whose books teach that the Continental Congress was an illegal body, many liberals don't even accept the Declaration of Independence as a legal document, and they certainly don't subscribe to the notion that governments are created and given their authority by the people who compose a nation.


We've managed to create several generations of Americans who won't acknowledge God's existence as the source of rights but who nonetheless seem to believe the government rules by some ill-defined divine right.


In short, we have failed our children. There are many reasons that came about, not the least of which is the influence of socialistic operatives infiltrating our public institutions.


But on the positive side, it's never too late to learn or to teach. So if you have children or grandchildren, take some time this Fourth of July to educate them about the Declaration of Independence. Download a copy of the text if you don't have it already, and take a little time to discuss the ideas in it, as well as the colonists' list of grievances and who the Founding Fathers were.


Declare your own independence from the spirit of the Left and take a stand in your own home for liberty. If everyone started doing that, it could make a world difference.

Our 'government' Would Outlaw the Declaration of Independence Today

Our 'government' Would Outlaw the Declaration of Independence Today



Many people don’t know we celebrate Independence Day. It’s a non-work day, so that’s good enough for them.

Political independence from a controlling government over local politics was the goal.

The following is from Breitbart:

“A new poll just out from Rasmussen shows the credibility of the Supreme Court has been severely frayed among likely voters.

A telephone poll conducted after the Obamacare and gay marriage decisions shows fully 33% of likely voters believe their states should ignore decisions of the Courts. This is a 37% increase from only four months ago, when Rasmussen asked the question for the first time. Only 52% of likely voters disagreed with the proposition.”

This is good news. Given today's political climate, I'm willing to wager that the courts and Congress would consider the Declaration of Independence seditious and treasonous. People would go to jail advocating the principles outlined in the Declaration.


How do I know? The federal courts have been telling individual states that what’s written in their state constitutions and what people have voted on in special elections are null and void. Before the latest SCOTUS pro-same-sex marriage ruling Federal judges declared that Kentucky and Virginia must acknowledge marriage between people of the same sex.


Here’s Kentucky’s constitutional provision:

“Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.”


The referendum was approved by 75% of the voters and applied to everybody regardless of gender or sexual proclivities. The "consent of the governed" has spoken loudly in more than 30 states on the same-sex marriage issue.


Of course, the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision nullified every state constitution on the issue. Homosexuals and their supporters cheered the decision even though there is no word about marriage in the Constitution.


If the courts can make law out of thin air in one case, it can do it in every case.


What good are state constitutions if two or three federal judges can nullify any provision? If judges can say one provision is “unconstitutional” based on a legal fiction, what’s to say they can’t do it on other provisions?


It’s important to note that nearly every time the issue of same-sex marriage came before the people, voters rejected it, even in left-of-center California. Consider this paragraph from the Declaration:

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”


Like King George of England, these judges have by their rulings “dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people” and suspended “legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.


The Declaration couldn’t be clearer.


David Azerrad writes that that the "claim that equality mandates redefining marriage" is laughable. "The 'Laws of Nature and of Nature's God' countenance ordered liberty, and the husband-and-wife, mother-and-father family is a core institution for securing what the Constitution calls 'the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.' What's more, no one's core rights are violated if marriage is not redefined to suit their tastes." Same-sex relationships know nothing of "posterity."

As I mentioned in a previous article, the Declaration appeals to the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” as well as “the Supreme Judge of the world.” Marriage is a creation ordinance defined by God. Where are the courts getting their definition of marriage? They're pulling it out of thin air.

If the definition of marriage can be changed by a whim of law, then anything can be changed.

Douglas Wilson mentions the long-held and supported doctrine of the lesser magistrate:

“The legislature of Kentucky, or Virginia, or any other state that this is being done to, should pass a measure requiring the governor to just say no. The governor should sign it, and then inform the feds that he has instructed the clerks of every county court house in the state to refuse to issue any mirage licenses. It doesn’t matter what the federal judge says — we the people of the great state of ‘whichever one it is’ need to become insufficiently docile and compliant.”

This legal approach “has happened elsewhere, on different issues. It is happening now with Washington and Colorado saying that smoking dope is okay with them.” If enough of these states banded together, it would be nearly impossible for the Federal 'government' to do anything to a majority of states that convene to protect their sovereignty. What if the United Nations voted to impose an international income tax? Don’t you think a vast majority of American would say 'no' even if the President, Congress, and the courts went along with it?


It’s time that the states stand up for the principles that this nation was founded upon. Too much blood was shed not to.

Where are You Going, America?



Quo Vadis, America? (Where are You Going, America?)



What would the founders say if they could see our 'government' today? I don't think it would be anything good...

The Founders built for us a brilliant foundation and offered generations the opportunity to live in peace and freedom but we screwed it all up.

The Star Spangled Banner

The Star Spangled Banner and America's Christian Heritage



Back in February, I posted a video of a US soldier rocking the Star-Spangled Banner above the Muslim Call to Prayer and it was widely applauded. In 2013, Madison Rising broke on the scene with their version of the national anthem that went viral. However, what seems to be missing in most every rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner is the reference to America's spiritual heritage and to the One who established the land of the free and the home of the brave. Enter former Kansas singer, turned Christian singer/producer John Elefante.


Elephante recently sang the first verse of the national anthem and included various pictures that tie to both our history and our present with regards to our heritage. According to Elefante, he wanted to emphasize the part Christianity has played in the history of our country.



The Bible, prayer (even among soldiers and children in school), and the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ are prominently displayed throughout the video. Additionally, one can see the celebrations that often accompany our nation's celebration of freedom, something sadly many are unaware of.

Last year marked the 200th anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner and was written by Francis Scott Key following the battle of Fort McHenry. By dawn's morning light, Key saw that the American flag was, indeed, "still there."

However, while many Americans are aware of the first verse of the national anthem, sadly, many are not aware of the remaining verses, which clearly point to our Christian heritage.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


god-save-america1

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
  
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Subject: Fw: re:Record 93,626,000 Americans Not in Labor Force (July 4, 2015)


----whether you went to school or not----or, whether you understand this stuff or not----it doesn't take a genus to figure out that you can NOT have  94 million (not working) and have an unemployment rate of  5  or  6 %---------truth be told.....the real true unemployment rate is well over  20%----these repeated lies from this admin. are starting to get to me.....what gets to me more is that people believe this crap.....

that is because our gov't lied about the rates...

Found this interesting link on the Drudge Report:

Record 93,626,000 Americans Not in Labor Force; Participation Rate Declines  to 62.6%

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/ali-meyer/record-93626000-americans-not-labor-force-participation-rate-declines-626  

COMMENT BY ERASMUS OF AMERICA - I have no argument with Mexicans or other foreign races wanting to move to America as they think they can live better in America than their native country now. However, with our current vast unemployment in America that Obama is trying to hide from the American people by George Orwell 1984 style government lying propaganda and calling it the truth to gullible Americans who do not know how to research and find the truth when lied to by the Obama White House, we are not in position to support by welfare now millions of illegal immigrants already in America. And in addition to that , the ten million or more illegal immigrants that Obama wants to bring into America now while the American people are not watching. For example, among them Obama and Democratic allies they want to bring in potentially hundreds of thousands of Muslim terrorist refugee immigrants to America so America can be rocked from coast to coast with countless bombings by Muslim terrorists trying to overthrow America from within and turn it into an Islamic nation by massive violence until America collapses.

      I think that we need to return to the Eisenhower immigration policy which worked fine while national policy of America. Illegal immigrants when located were to be shipped out and returned to their native lands. Also, our American borders were seriously watched which made it very difficult for foreigners to try and smuggle themselves into Ameica as illegal immigrants. If approved for permanent residence here or issued a green card to work in America, then foreigners could come to America legally to immigrant to here. Then they were not illegal immigrants and could go through the processes until they got approved and became naturalized citizens of America. They had to learn English and the political principles that America was founded upon. If they wanted to be loyal to the founding principles of America once made an American citizen, then no problem! They became American citizens and were loyal to the same basic principles as the native Americans were. They were assimilated into American society now thinking like the rest of the American race does on important issues of common belief. If the national economy was growing and we needed more workers to help run the American economy, then we could always let in more immigrants legally to America to help solve the labor shortage now in America, and through the process become American citizens later on if they wanted to.

     The Eisenhower immigration policy was sound and good for the future of America. The Obama immigration policy in defiance of Congress, etc. is insane, unsound, and can likely end up in the destruction of America from within if not stopped before it is too late to stop the destruction of America as a nation. I have seen fine people from various nations of Europe to move here, fine Cubans, Mexicans, and others coming from Central and Latin America to move here, fine people from other nations across the world to move here, but immigration policy must be run soundly so as to help the economy and future of America, not harm the economy and future of America. There is a right and a wrong way to handle the national immigration policy. Once the Omni Law is passed, we will by national referendum see that the national immigration policy of America is restored to sound principles and not wild fanaticism of people who would destroy America by immigration policy if we allowed them to such as Obama and radicals in the Democratic Party of today.

     When alive, Gus Hall, head of the Communist Party of America, commented at their annual Communist national picnic, that the Democrats were now running on the same platforms as the Communist Party of America had, so no longer needed to run independent Communist candidates for political office. The name Liberal was the new name for Communists in America according to Gus Hall. And when the last Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev came to America after exile from Russia, he sent a private letter to Communists in America telling them to back the environmental movement in America as this movement was led by Communists  and was the front by which America was to be turned into a Communist government and nation through propaganda on "Global Warming," etc. I got a copy of his letter after it had been sent and it mentioned that the Communists controlled the EPA of the federal government in America at that time. That letter was in some conservative hands but the news media with its usual censorship on news items which discredit the liberal movement in America would not report on it nor reprint it in the news sources of America. You the American people are controlled on many issues by censorship and propaganda to keep the truth hidden from you.


     If the main news media played along with Obama's fake propaganda figures on national unemployment, then they are a propaganda rag sheet for the liberal cause in America and not that honest of a national press, etc. to you the American people.
     What is the solution to the leftist propaganda and news censorship intended to keep you the American people deceived on key national issues so they can control you by their propaganda lies and news censorship? Pass our Omni Law as national law. It is shown on our national website and full name shown on our website for it is "THE OMNIBUS CIVIL RIGHTS ACT FOR AMERICA." It gives you the American people the legal right to control Wash., D.C. by passage or rejection of proposed laws and policies by national referendum which Wash., D.C. must obey your will once you vote by national referendum. This makes government your servant instead of your intended master.
     Our national website is www.fastboomamericaneconomy.com  Our national website is fastboomameicaneconomy.com@gmail.com  Our mailing address for orders and payments not going through our website is NIFI, P.O. BOX 1465, Seneca, SC 29679 . Make check, etc. out to NIFI and tell us what the payment is for whether products on our website or a loan payment to the Omni Law Loan Program also on our website. All net money raised helps to pass the Omni Law and sooner! Pass this report around. This also helps speed up passage of the Omni Law in America.
      Since the true real unemployment is so high in America and not low unemployment as Obama and allies try to trick you into believing, here are a few encouraging words for you. I studied with six of the most brilliant economists of America and Europe and know many ways how to skyrocket free enterprise in America. I once was written up by a prestigious Who's Who organization of America and Europe as "The Einstein of American Economics." I know a lot more economic science and economic history than does Obama at the White House who only studied Communist economics and even in that, he doesn't know how to make Communist economics work in America. His only economic studies were under Communists and a key Communist in Chicago launched him into national politics as the Communist hope to take over America and make America Communist.

     Weird situation here! The Muslims also financed him and launched him into American politics to make America an Islamic nation once Obama was done with America. I suggest the hope for America's future is passage of the Omni Law and fast in America now, not Obama to "solve" the problems of America the Communist and Islamic way. An American who had lived in Kenya for years told me how Obama proudly let the word out when he was visiting relatives in Kenya that he was a Muslim also. When he got back to Chicago, he raised the money to finance a Muslim relative of his in Kenya to burn down Christian churches in Kenya and had a Muslim mob waiting at one church when burning down so they chopped down the black women and children when they were trying to flee the Christian church burning down from Islamic arson on it. Maybe around 100 Black Christians were chopped down and murdered with this massacre in Kenya having been financed by Obama who raised the money for these Muslim terrorist attacks on Black Christians and burning down of their Christian churches in Kenya. He raised close to one million dollars once he got back to Chicago to finance this savage attack on Christian churches in Kenya by his Islamic terrorist relative and Muslim mobs he led into murder of Black Christians in Kenya. Sources from Kenya reported on all this to me after it happened.
     Is Obama the leader you want to trust to shape the future of America with? I think not. Back the passage of the Omni Law by finances when you can and passing of this report to all of America which most of you reading this should be able to do. This report shows good reasons why the Omni Law should be passed in America and now.
      Yours For God And Country, Erasmus Of America (Pen Name for that American Christian Leader who thought that we should not just sit still while the enemies of Christianity plan how to mass destroy Christianity if not stopped in time and want to kill huge numbers of Christians in America and worldwide if we Christians allow this by doing nothing. We must stop these lunatics who unfortunately have heavy money backing their side and connections to high power in government at this time. I spent eleven calender years in military academies and also have a heavy background in military intelligence. I know the plans of the other side how they plan to mass kill Christians in America and throughout the world. It is time we stop them and disarm them from power!)

Lord's Prayer Drama

America - Consider what I, the Lord, has to say


"AMERICA"


July 4, 2015

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14


"America, I tell you that you have put your allegiance upon things of the past, for you have your heroes of the past.  You have those men and women who fought for your freedom, but where are they now?


Where are those that stood in the face of battle and fought against the enemy, your ancient foe?  For he still runs rampant among your streets.   That wily serpent has found his way into almost every corner of your lives.


He has found his way in the prejudice and racism that runs rampant in your land. He has found his way in the sexual perversions that have now manifested themselves.  He has found his way in the violence that strikes at the doors of many of the young and the old. 

Your shores once marked and paved the way for many of the downtrodden and the foreigner to find a new way of life and a new beginning, but now all they find is greed and dismay.

Be glad for the freedoms that you now have.  But if you would have looked to Me rather than to the patriotic acts of a few, then perhaps the disease wouldn't have spread so far.  

Brave acts of courage and vigilance once marked the ways of many of your people.  Once there was mercy and compassion shown to all but now  much of this is a thing of the past.  They are the dusty pages of an old book.  They were the pages that once were opened that were seen by all.  You could see it on the faces of the farmers and the men and women that worked the land.  You could see it on the factory workers and the teachers that filled their rooms with stories of bravery and courage.

Your stars and stripes stand for something.  They stand for something that once was.  They fly and encircle a land that was once united."

Stephen Hanson


No, America Is Not a Great Nation



No, America Is Not a Great Nation



Letter from someone looking for some positive vibes:
Dear Matt, 
I love your writing. I’ve been reading and supporting you from the beginning. Thanks for all you do! My question is more optimistic. I believe a lot of bad things are happening in the country right now but with July 4th coming up, it’s important to remember that AMERICA IS STILL GREAT! Sometimes people need that hopeful and encouraging message. I know you’re upset with the way things are going, but can you write something for July 4th reminding everyone that America is still a great nation… and the best in the world? I think we all need to hear something hopeful like that! That’s the criticism of you that I hear all the time… you need to be more hopeful! Tells us the GOOD things about America! Thanks!
Sincerely,
Mike


Mike......... Thanks for writing.


I’m sorry but I can’t give you exactly what you want, unless you want something better and truer than the sort of fraudulent “hopefulness” and “optimism” most people seek these days. They want the brand of cheap, commodified hope you get from a 30-second video where a guy finds his lost dog or whatever and at the end tries to sell you beer. They want the inspiration of a viral marketing video. They want it like funnel cake: sweet, empty and quickly digested.


I could give you that, but I won’t. I could write patronizing, pandering nonsense telling you everything is fine, this country is awesome, and the future will be bright and filled with lollipops and puppy dog farts. But what good would it do, besides win me some PR points? If you want hope, it needs to be planted firmly in truth, or else it’s like administering morphine while you die of kidney failure. It’ll make you feel better for a time, but it won’t save you.


Here’s the truth: I am not happy with this country, and you shouldn’t be, either. I am disappointed in it.  It disgraces itself. It turns from God. It kills its young. It attacks the family. Am I supposed to pretend otherwise just for the sake of being festive?


While Michelle Obama felt pride in 'her' nation for the first time recently, I am more and more developing a deep anger at it, and I think it’s time I admit that out loud. I’m a patriot but to borrow from Chesterton, a patriot who is uncritical of his country while it teeters on the edge of total destruction is like a son who doesn’t warn his mother that she’s about to fall off a cliff. In this case, however, we already fell off the cliff. We are shattered on the rocks below, and I’m truly not certain if we can be repaired.


You want me to get into the holiday spirit and remind everyone that America is still great, but I don’t know, Mike, does a great country murder a million babies every year?
Does a great country ignore its own laws and tear its Constitution to pieces?
Does a great country become among the first in human civilization to dismantle the institution of marriage in favor of legitimizing sexual perversion?
Is a great country so confused that it can’t tell the difference between male and female?
Does the nuclear family collapse in a great country?
Does a great country have historically high rates of divorce, unwed pregnancy and fatherless homes?
Do little girls get IUDs implanted in them by school officials without parental consent in a great country?
Do citizens burn down their own cities in a great country?
Is moral relativism the cultural driving force in a great country?
Are churches empty in a great country?
Do one in every five citizens favor forcing priests to perform gay weddings in a great country?
Is pornography a billion-dollar industry in a great country?
Are there 110 million cases of STDs in a great country?
Are college students unable to name the vice president but able to chug a fifth of vodka in a great country?
Is higher education overrun by feminists and nihilists in a great country?
Is apathy endemic in a great country?
Does the average person watch five hours of TV a day in a great country?
Are people threatened, fired, attacked, belittled and ripped to shreds for having differing opinions in a great country?
Do young adults ransack stores just for fun in a great country?
Do schools teach kids how to masturbate but forget to teach them how to read in a great country ?
Is “50 Shades of Grey” a best-seller in a great country?
Does Christianity decline in a great country?
Are soldiers forced to sit in classrooms and listen to lectures about “white privilege” in a great country?
Has the gay agenda so infiltrated even the military that now officers are chased out of their jobs for telling lesbians to stop french-kissing while in uniform in a great country?
Does the government hand out birth control to children in a great country?
Do illegal immigrants stream over the border at will in a great country?
Are 151 million people on the government dole in a great country?
Do a majority of Americans vote for Barack Obama twice in a great country?
Does a great country laugh at morality, reject reality and worship cross-dressers?
Do adults in a great country so lack even the most rudimentary knowledge of their own great country that they can’t even explain why their great country celebrates the Fourth of July?
Is this what happens in a great country?
If so, what’s so great about being great? Where is the optimism in that miserable greatness? Where is the hope for the future if moral bankruptcy, selfishness, confusion, stupidity, deviancy and failure are “great.


This is why I’m surprised liberals are still out burning American flags. What are they upset about? This country has been reshaped in their image. They won the culture, the government, academia, the media, even the churches. This is their America. They own it. Yet they aren’t satisfied because liberalism, like its father satan, is intent only on destruction and consumption. It will never be satiated.


You might say most of the examples I provided have to do with America’s people, not America herself. But the distinction is irrelevant because a democracy is only as great as its people. Meanwhile, our government is corrupt and feckless, and our political leaders are cowardly and self-serving. Yes, the Constitution is great, but it’s still just a set of laws. If laws are ignored, they might as well not exist. The Bill of Rights can’t make us great if we don’t follow it, just like your running shoes can’t make you fit if you don’t put them on and go for a jog.


So in what way is America great at the moment? Are we a moral beacon for the world now? Where is the rest of the world supposed to locate that shining light of moral clarity? Is it somewhere buried under the dead children and the perversion and the porn and the divorce and the drugs and the disease and the dependency and the Nanny State socialism? What about leadership in government, or education, or the home? Is American culture great in these respects?


Face it, Mike. Judge America by any measure — moral, political, economic, social, cultural — and none of it points to greatness. Not by a long shot. Not even close. Not any more. Progressivism dominates all of these spheres, and with its rise our greatness diminishes.


You might tell me that some individuals in this nation still preserve and shine that light — particularly veterans and people who serve in other capacities — but are they numerous enough to define our culture? Clearly not. They are great in spite of our society, not through it or because of it.


All that’s left, then, is the past. Because while we’ve declined rapidly, we also rose faster than any country before us. We accomplished incredible things. We stormed beaches, conquered tyrants, built cities.  We invented and pioneered and innovated. We faced down evil and defeated it. We abolished slavery. We established civil rights for all. We beat the Nazis. We extinguished communism. We earned the title of a land of opportunity.


A God-fearing land, we went to church.  We raised our families.  We worked, we loved, we prayed.


Look, I’m not idolizing the past. But it’s a matter of historical record that America was a great country, and an exceptional one. And it’s also a fact that the historical record is just that — history. We have to stop resting on the laurels of our great-grandparents and pretending that some how, because they came off the boat from wherever and persevered through the Depression, we get to mooch off their greatness for eternity. Frankly, our great-grandparents would be disgusted at our country now, and ashamed of it, and of us. Their greatness was their own. We don’t deserve it and have not earned it.


I know I might sound similar to that famous rant from the HBO show “The Newsroom” a few years back.  In that clip, Jeff Daniels goes on a tirade about the failures of America, but Daniels made his case that we aren’t “the greatest” by comparing our health and economic status to other nations. Personally, I think money has very little to do with true greatness one way or another. And in any event, I’m not worried about stacking us up against other places.


People say to me, “Yeah, things are bleak, but it’s still better than Mexico, North Korea, etc.” I’m sure it is. But greatness isn’t attained by simply staying one step above the pitiful things around you. If nobody in the room can read or write, and you manage to compose one semi-coherent sentence, that doesn’t make you Shakespeare. If you want to be Shakespeare, you have to strive for brilliance no matter how brilliant or idiotic everyone else happens to be.


“Yeah, but what about all the other countries and their problems?” OK, what’s your point? If that makes you suddenly cool with a nation that slaughters children and corrupts the institution of marriage, fine. Way to maintain high standards for the country you supposedly love. But, me, I want better for my homeland. When I love something — and I do love my country — I want it to be actually great, not just great compared to Somalia.


And what makes a nation great anyway? I’d say economic status plays some small part in it.  Liberties are important.  The way the government functions, laws, industries, military — all of these are factors. But I’ll tell you this: In the end, the nation that sends the most people to heaven is the greatest. Period.


No nation is truly great if it leads its citizens away from truth and away from God. It’s as simple as that. You find a country where most of the citizens — the culture itself, predominately — is directed toward God, toward a humble, moral life, toward truth, and you have found a great nation. I don’t care what else it has going for it. I don’t care if it the life expectancy is 27 and it doesn’t have a standing army or WiFi. If the conditions in the country are such that people are living a moral, God-centered life, it is a great country.


I’m not saying we should be a theocracy. I’m not saying the 'president’s' job is to get me to heaven. I’m just saying the purpose of life is to stand in truth, be holy and see God. A culture oriented toward that purpose is great. A culture that is not, is not.


Now I guess this is the part where I’m supposed to add the caveat, “America isn’t great, but it can be great again!” or some such slogan.


Yesterday someone on Twitter told me that America will “always” be great, no matter what happens or what we do. Others have insisted it’s divine destiny that America reclaim its greatness. But this kind of talk isn’t patriotic; it’s paganism. It paints this country like it’s literally the Kingdom of God. As if, out of all the thousands of countries that have existed since the dawn of time, ours is the first that really will last forever. This is to make Americanism into a religion. It’s idolatry. It’s foolishness, especially considering the Romans and the Greeks felt exactly the same way yet even they were evidently wrong.


We have no guarantees, nor should we seek them. The Lord, in His wisdom, might see fit to smite America from the Earth, like Sodom and Gomorrah. Can’t say I’d blame Him. Or maybe He will lead us through this dark age to true greatness. I don’t know.


Here’s what I do know, and here’s the hopeful part: Our priority has to be our families and our souls. The fate of the country or the globe has not been put entirely, or even mostly, in our individual hands. But we have profound jurisdiction over the fate of our families, the spiritual state of our children, whether our households serve the Lord, and whether we serve the Lord. That’s our hope for the future. Right there.


We can find greatness if we strive for holiness. We have to. We are entering an age where only the great Christians will spiritually survive. It’s a scary time, but if we heed the call to holiness, we can find immense joy. That’s what I want for my children, though I fear for them quite a bit these days. I can’t imagine what this country will look like in 30 or 40 years. Maybe things will have turned around, but honestly I really doubt it. So all I can do is hold them close, try to be a better father to them and a better husband to my wife, and equip them as best I can for what comes next.


I believe strongly that real persecution awaits us down the road. I think my children will face hostility and opposition and maybe even violence on a level I haven’t yet seen. We are heading into very challenging times, but if we keep our families together and our hearts with God, we’ll be OK. No matter what happens, we’ll be OK. And, by extension, if we pour ourselves into our families and into our faith, we might be able to rescue this culture and this country from the clutches of progressive annihilation. It won’t happen quickly, and I don’t know if it will happen at all, but I know there’s a chance. America is not lost completely. Not yet.


So find strength in the Lord. Love your spouse and your children like Christ loves the Church. Be a leader in your home. Be willing to sacrifice everything for your family. Be unwilling to sacrifice your soul for anything. Confront the reality of our current state and accept that you will be asked to endure a lot of pain and persecution.


Pray. Remember what America was. Remember who God is. Remember who you are and why you’re here and that you were put here in this time for a reason. And that will be your hope and mine. It’s all the hope we need. It’s not sappy, it’s not sweet, it won’t fit in a Dove commercial, but it’s real.


The greatness of America is determined by its culture, and its culture by its people, and its people by their love for God. If we can become better, more virtuous, and train our children in the ways of the Lord, maybe many years from now — perhaps when you and I are dead and buried — America will be able to call herself a great country.


Until then, we can only pray that God gives us the strength for whatever comes. And come it will. So be it.
God bless America.


Happy Independence Day, Mike
