Sadly it seems for the first time in the history of the USA, the majority have opted for decline.

I won't give up even if I am the last person who believes in Americanism but every day I wake up to a weaker and weaker America and I wonder what happened to all the man and women of courage?

We live in a society where victimhood is honored and courage is derided.

Our leaders are thoroughly corrupt and the principles that made the USA great are under constant attack.

Since each day we get just a little bit worse, each day is the most pathetic day in the history of the USA.

I don't know how others will choose.

As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord, we will fight for liberty and we will resist decline even when those all around us continue slouching toward Gomorrah.

When we permitted the lawyers and bankers to run the country, we surrendered our freedom and money. Where the movie "Idiocracy" is funny, it is not likely to happen that way. Instead, America will be come so dumb as to welcome invaders and call them liberators and we will wave out American flags as our social experiment in liberty and democracy ends miserably. Let's stop this decline before this happens for the sake of our children.

Great post from one to zero. I might read about this in a book called "How to destroy a Nation".

Once great nation crippled by the words of our nations leader President Barrack Hussain Obama.

To the rest of the world... I am very determined to do my part to be exceptional in everything that I do.
I will not go quietly into that dark night.

Mr. President Obama exceptionalism is not something the government provides, It is the people of a great nation that provide exceptional behaviors and altitudes.

AND by being exceptional we win out over the mediocrity that progressivism declares fair. Progressive thought is not a new way of thinking it is a regressive dehumanizing half baked mental disorder.

For a country of choice, we all seem to be making the wrong choices lately. Moral confidence is declining the most and it is a sad thing to watch. I see it all around me and fear for my children as the wrong choices can lead to a life of destruction, but the immoral choices seem to be what is popular these days in lieu of good moral judgement, so they (my children) will surely be ostracized for taking the moral path. I pray that they are strong enough to withstand the abuse that will come their way for taking the higher road and the moral road. We all have to start thinking in terms of morals or our country is doomed!

I have days also when I wonder and worry. Where is this country going? Can this be turned around? What about my children? I too place my faith in the Lord.
I pray and give it up to God. His will be done.
I also know that...‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing’ I have met alot of good men and women on this website. When I am feeling down I always find a comment on SodaHead that lifts me up. I found that joining the Heritage Foundation and the local Republican Party gives me some feeling that I still have some control my destiny.
It is mentally exhausting to have to defend your principles to people that seem immovable. Maybe you need to take a few days off, No SodaHead. Take a drive, go to a movie, make a special plan with the family. After all you are fighting this battle for them.

Don't give up, we are here for you, as you have been here for us.

We can go down with a whimper or with a fight. I choose the "fight" part for myself. I do not fear death and there some thing sin this World that it is honorable to die for. and to live for too. I have many brothers in a distant land who were cheated and they are being cheated today by Marxists in the Democrat Party. So, I stand against the serging tide that will sweep me a way maybe. It's all Ok. I choose to not live in decline. It is better to die a hero than to whimper it all down to a few miserable breaths and have some on snuff me out of those.

Great post art as usual and I stand with you beside you and in front of you. We have not lost yet. But time is growing short. We need to stay alert. Those of us that have children or grand children need to be watchful of what is being taught in our schools for this is were the Libs start with young minds we need to teach the young ourselves this rich history of this great country. We need to insure that they understand what our forefathers did in 1775. We also have got to stay on congress and remind them just who they work for and that they can and will be replaced if we have to.

And may god bless this country for it is still the country that holds up the torch of freedom that the rest of the world enviers for this is why they dislike us because we have something that they would love to have. It is call FREEDOM>
