Please enlighten all of us.
Modern Americans educate themselves so poorly as to the full circle of action and its reaction measuring history against current events. People too often cite an event or quote an individual without realizing the full circumstances that allowed for the said event to take place.
Today people look back to our founding fathers and find inspiration. Indeed there is much there to be found. Yet in all of today's quarrels all we can hear is the noise of upcoming elections and who will stand for what. While short term minds will scream this is the way and lead the masses into a victory for the "right" people forget to find a true measurement of value and posterity.
The entire value system of the American society has been eroded from the ground up. People no longer recognize the truth behind the inception of the American mind and system. God itself has been erased from history and from the lives of the American people. Yet to take away the "Great Awakening" from the history of the Revolution would in of itself never allowed the Revolution to take place. A British historian in the early 1800s noted that Americans would still be living under British rule if it had not been for those pesky preachers.
It was noted that without a Christian backbone that the American colonies would have exchanged one tyrant for another. Without a moral basis that is greater than man to measure a nation there can be no foundation upon which to build. Today we expect elections to simply fix our problems by simply putting in the "other" party. Stupidity abounds for time after time we have done this after our history had been erased and our constitution been made null and void and for nearly 100 years nothing has changed for the better but instead for the "progress of mankind".
Yet no one recognizes the futility and unbelievable stupidity which abounds. Each time around "the best of the worst" is elected with no real effect but to further enslave the next generation. Today we sit with a Marxist government that Germany itelsf would be envious of and yet we still proclaim Liberty. All the while most Americans cannot even truly define Liberty.
Without a refounding of God within our culture, our home and our lives we will do nothing but once again replace one tyrant with another. We no longer will be subject to choice but rather a subject to their whims. A State that is not founded upon principle and morality is founded upon nothing at all but the whims of mankind. If mankind is any measurement for the benefit of a nation for thousands of years I truly pity our children for they will be the ones which truly suffer in the times to come.
