We Are In The Process Of Completely Losing America-- Michael Snyder

America is slipping away a little bit more with each day that passes!

You do know this is not the America we are trying to save, right? Save your mischaracterizations for the kiddie sites, please.

It is a great country. Take a look around overseas.

The interesting thing to me is that when you, as a U.S. citizen, actually do this, as I have, you find out how thoroughly you've been brainwashed.

="Scataphagos, post: 5167473, member: 140770"]The hour is getting very late

When I was growing up, I was taught to love America.

My father was in the U.S. Navy, our family spent six years overseas as he served at a military base in a foreign land, and every day I would say the Pledge of Allegiance at the local school for military children that I attended.
The Left created a controversy out of saying the “Pledge of Allegiance” at schools and sporting events. I wonder why... Was it because people who don’t believe anything are easier to manipulate?

It was during this period of time that Ronald Reagan was first elected president of the United States, and the things that he said about the greatness of America’s values really inspired me.

Of course no nation has ever been perfect, but at one time the United States was united by a common set of values that we were constantly striving to live up to.
A huge issue the Radical Left skillfully exploited was the failure of trusted groups to police themselves against corruption, greed, and hypocracy. Churches failure to excommunicate pedophile priests for decades undermined the credibility of religion. The fall of religion is a critical domino because without accountability to a higher authority, commitment to the needs of the community are longer more important to one’s own needs. This again, make people more easily manipulated by an outside force. Excessive executive compensation without explaination leads to many feeling our system is inherently unfair. Executives and politicians getting slaps on the wrist for serious corruption leads people to feel that we are actually not equal under the law. Why bother defending a system that does not represent us?

The preceeding are examples of failure of our previously trusted organizations and systems to police themselves and oust those who put themselves above the public interest. This resulted in ample fodder for the Radical Left to use to gain credibility with the public for their agenda. An agenda that historically been more than a step backwards for human rights and standard of living. Long term Democrat controlled inner cities? Cuba? Venezuela? Soviet Union? How about being a Muslim in modern day Communist China?

And one of the reasons why I am often so hard on America in my articles is because I want us to rediscover those values and start trying to live up to them once again.

Unfortunately, the truth is that all of the things that once made America so great are slipping away from us a little bit more with each passing day.

For example, just look at how much freedom of speech is being eroded. Once upon a time, people would gather in homes or marketplaces to exchange ideas, but now we gather on giant social media platforms to share ideas with one another.
Another issue leading to the takedown of United States is the loss of that problem solving, can do attitude. Has no else had the idea of creating their own ways of communicating with masses of like minded people? The cost of creating blogging website using Wordpress is too cheap to mention. How about the church groups organizing with other church groups, with other groups who have displayed common ideals? How about creating email newletters? United we stand, divided we fall come to mind?

The key skills the Communists are good at is organizing and effective propaganda. They are able to get enough people to at least the sidelines to allow them to gain influence.

The key to saving the United States is restoring confidence in our churches and other institutions. Credible self-policing is a fundamental step in the right direction. With the election three months away, there is not enough time to reestablish credibility, it seems.

I started a thread on corruption a couple of weeks ago entitled “I Broke my Boy”. There was no response. No response for what is probably the most important issue in tackling before voters start having confidence in our system again, Confidence in America again. Until the pervasive corruption issue is addressed, the Communists will gain power, for they are in their element.

Odds are, the entity behind Joe Biden will finish off America as envisioned by the Founders of this country if he is elected.

And during the early days of social media, speech was left relatively uncensored and it allowed interesting ideas to spread rapidly. Sadly, things are completely different now, and the level of censorship that we are witnessing is really scary.

There is a certain video that contains footage of prominent doctors talking about potential treatments for COVID-19 that has created quite a stir. I am sure that most of you know the video that I am talking about, because it started to spread rapidly on Tuesday. But then Facebook banned it, Twitter banned it, YouTube banned it and other social media platforms banned it as well. My wife tried to put up a copy of the video herself, and it was taken down immediately.

And when Donald Trump Jr. tried to share the video on Twitter, his entire account got partially suspended.

At this point, freedom of speech is essentially dead on our major social media platforms, and because they have such a dominant position in our marketplace of ideas, that means that freedom of speech has been severely crippled in our society as a whole.

Freedom of religion is being greatly eroded as well. States such as California continue to ban large church gatherings in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but meanwhile they don’t have any problem with the large groups of protesters that are gathering night after night in our major cities to riot and commit acts of violence.

If conditions are good enough for thousands upon thousands of rioters to get together and cause chaos, and if conditions are good enough for thousands upon thousands of people to go shopping at Wal-Mart, then conditions are certainly good enough for Christians to go to church.

It looks like this pandemic could be with us throughout 2021 and beyond. Would some of these blue states really try to keep churches closed for that long?

And there is also a tremendous amount of concern that many of these blue states will require people to take a COVID-19 vaccine once it is available. President Trump is trying to push vaccine development along as rapidly as possible, because he thinks that if he can announce something before November that it will help him win the election.

But rushing a potentially dangerous vaccine through development and forcibly injecting it into the arms of millions of Americans is not only incredibly foolish, it is also deeply un-American.

And the way that Republicans and Democrats in Congress are responding to this crisis is also deeply un-American.

We are supposed to have a free market capitalist system, and when I was growing up the socialists were always regarded as enemies of our Republic.

But now there are very few politicians in Washington that are not socialists.
Actually, Trump is doing a very good job at being a Socialist and Corporatocracy supporter, himself.

This week we were informed that another “stimulus bill” is on the way. This one is going to involve more direct socialist payments to the American people, but at this point hardly anyone is even bothering to point out that this is pure socialism.

Never before in American history have we done such a thing. We have been through the Civil War, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II and a whole host of other difficult times, and yet we have never passed out “free money” to everyone in the country before.
There needs to be risk in risk taking. This is how financial system destabilizing over speculation is reduced. This also tends to maximize the efficiency of resource utilization, helping to preserve our environment.

And of course we can’t afford any of this extra spending that Congress is doing. This new stimulus bill is “only” going to cost about a trillion dollars, but that is another trillion dollars that we will have to steal from future generations of Americans.

At this moment we are more than 26 trillion dollars in debt, and soon it will be 27 trillion dollars. We are systematically destroying America’s future, and our founders would be absolutely horrified at what we are doing if they could see us today.

Of course we abandoned most of the values that they held dear long ago. What was “right” in their day is now “wrong”, and what was “wrong” in their day has now become “right”.

In essence, we are literally turning into the exact opposite of what they originally intended for America to be.

If we stay on the path that we are currently on, there isn’t going to be an America.

And it deeply grieves me to say that, because I was taught to greatly love this country from a very early age.

For years, I have been trying to get people to wake up.

For years, I have been battling the insidious forces that are eating away at the foundations that this nation was built upon.

And I will continue to battle, but the hour is getting very late, and America is slipping away a little bit more with each day that passes!



My sentiments exactly... but if I'd penned it, would have contained swear words!

FWIW...

The values that set America apart, based largely on the teachings of the Bible, that include honesty, the virtues of hard work, and doing unto others as you would have them do to you are what will be necessary to have a chance to turn back the Communist attack on America’s history and way of life.

For those who are counting on Trump to do this solely by himself are sorely mistaken.

So for the readers who still believe in the America Experiment, what specifically will you do to help stem the descending blue curtin of Communism?

There are beliefs that are constructive towards a community and there are beliefs that are destructive towards a community.

Often times, immediate gratification leads to long term disappointment.

So those who are supporting the Communist agenda because it is the “thing to do” right now, are going to wake up in a country quite unlike they envisioned.

It would be nice if we could give the Communists a try and if or when it didn’t work out, we could push a “Revert” button and go back to the way things were before the Communists took over. At the point most people would be looking for that revert buttion, it wouldn’t, of course, exist. But if it did, even going back to Trump would be looking good compared to the way things would be if history is any sort of guide.

You know the pledge was written by socialist minister Francis Bellamy?

Anyway, your response is just gibberish. Get people to accept mutually exclusive / contradictory / unfounded stuff and you can get them to accept any old shit. I grew up Catholic, making logic a pretzel is core.

I always liked life in Asia, Buddhist countries are less twisted up. They are terrible liars, cartoonish when trying it. Westerners are far better.

Brainwashing kids has a cost. Knowing you are the best without foundation..

There are basically no Communists in the US. Your theories are absolute horseshit. There are plenty of socialist ideas that can and should be implemented in a capitalist society that should be tried. Things like universal health care which Canada has had since the 1970s.

Those supporting the Republican party in the US have seen repeatedly several trends that are NOT good for the long term health of your country. Huge growing wealth disparity, a massive federal debt load, and growing social unrest can all be linked directly to the actions of several recent Republican led governments.

Anybody who thinks that Communists have any meaningful presence in the US ( or Canada for that matter ) is deeply delusional. It's like the McCarthy era again which in itself was a ridiculous episode in American history.
