Morality: America In Crisis
by Jean-Philippe Gibson
The agony of America’s pain permeates through the still of the air. The eyes of Americans reflect back the same nostalgic cold stare. We all ask ourselves the same question. How could our great nation which has amassed unparallel prestige, wealth, and power find itself in such an abysmal abyss? Maybe words aren’t adequate enough to describe our fall from being the world’s biggest creditor nation to our current standing as the biggest debtor nation in world history. Somewhere along the way “Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness” got lost in the mythical land of Chimerica and replaced with the liberal progressive lie that you can have it all at no cost.
These days King George III is in Washington, D.C. levying taxes with the illusion of representation. The American people say nay on an issue and the U.S. Congress says yea. The American people say yea on an issue and the U.S. Congress says nay. It is almost as if the U.S. Congress has forgotten the part of the constitution that reads:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a
more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
provide for the common defence, promote the general
Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the
United States of America.”
It is almost as if “We the People” don’t matter anymore. Our elected officials have forgotten that they are elected officials elected to represent and execute our wishes while in Washington, D.C.
We have foreclosed on our homes and mortgaged our children’s future to the Chinese. As I write, the U.S. National debt is $13 trillion and rising by the second. According to the Congressional Budget Office, there are 28 million Americans on food stamps.
We have immense problems. I would venture to say that the very infrastructure of our nation is under siege. We are spending billions fighting two wars simultaneously, facing an inflationary depression, cutting education costs, nobody has a job, and an insane messianic regime in Tehran is on the brink of developing nuclear weapons. We find ourselves at the epicenter of the perfect storm. We must hold on to the ideal, that hope based upon hope is within our reach. We must remember that there is indeed hope beyond despair.
Tonight I implore every American to pray. Pray that we find the inner resolve to overcome as we have as a people so many times in history before. Liberal progressives has sought to take God out of the public square, but try as they might, we are still one nation under God.
Just like Martin Luther King Jr., I have a dream today. I have a dream that my beloved Americans unite to defeat the dark forces of moral relativism, islamofascism, Cloward & Piven, and Madalyn Murray O'Hair.
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
