I read in American Minute by Bill Federer where a congressman who helped ratify the United States constitution, Fisher Ames, way back in 1789 said that our republic was like, “a raft that would never sink, but then your feet are always in the water.” He also said, “A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction.” He then elaborated on the dangers to American liberty.
One of his primary concerns was the decline of morality in America. Fisher Ames warned that democracy without morals would eventually reduce the nation to the basest of human passions, swallowing freedom. He was particularly worried about debased sexual immorality.
He is not alone, Oxford anthropologist J.D. Unwin, in his book Sex and Culture, confirmed that after studying 80 civilizations that spanned over 5,000 years, that monogamous heterosexual marriage precedes cultural advancement, and sexual promiscuity always precedes civilizational decline.
Uh oh the United States seems to be in trouble here. In fact isn’t that what the entire hoopla about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s replacement is about? Abortion…Aren’t most abortions the result of sexual promiscuity?
Another concern for Fisher Ames was children having no reverence for either of their parents, rebelling at the least touch of authority and determined they will have no one over them. Interestingly Plato had the same concerns. He referred to this as the “glorious beginnings of tyranny. I must admit I was a child of rebellion in the 1960’s and I see many of today’s young men and women have continued that dark path and many have become almost sociopathic and are numb to violence and even death and have no thoughts about Jesus Christ or doing what is right and loving one another.
Personally I believe the largest contributor to the decline of our nation is illegal drug consumption. It accounts for most of the crime in the country and has brought tragic misery in some form to most every family in the nation. It fuels the fire of our decline. It is straight out of hell and is one if not THE most effective weapons in Satan’s arsenal.
And who could ignore those whose lust for power at all cost burns like fire in their hearts and the lengths they go to destroy our nation. Powerful elitists with money, media, and deep state connections to rig the system to attain and stay in power. Their goal is to control the nation and find ways for anarchy to find a way to slither into private homes and indoctrinate the masses.
Those who challenge them are discriminated against; employees fired; businesses sued; attorneys disbarred; domestic violence used to intimidate them; churches demonized; hospitals forced to provide sex change services; and retaliation against doctors who expose the health risks of licentious lifestyles and misinformation concerning things such as Covid 19.
Those of us who hold biblical views are experiencing a loss of freedom of religion, speech, gun ownership, and more on a daily basis. It is an ironic twist to see those who have come “out of the closet” be so determined to shove others into the closet!
We must fight for our freedom and we do have a leader, who like him or not, is very effective at waging war against those who would destroy our great country.
President Donald Trump addressed much of the problems outlined in this post in South Dakota, July 3, 2020: “Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our Founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities . . .
One of their political weapons is ‘Cancel Culture’ — driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees.
This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and our values, and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance.
If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished.
It’s not going to happen to us. Make no mistake: this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution.”
Think about it! Do you want to live free or live under a communist/socialist regime where every aspect of your life is controlled by those whose values are not your own? Vote Donald Trump and do what you can to help get him elected and avoid the election being stolen.
George Washington wrote in his undelivered draft of his Inaugural Address, April 30, 1789: “No mound of parchment can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition . . . aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals.” Freedom begins and ends with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
