No need for any comments. This says it all.
Men, like nations, think they're eternal. What man in his 20s or 30s doesn't believe, at least subconsciously, that he'll live forever? In the springtime of youth, an endless summer beckons As you pass 70, it's harder to hide from reality.
Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever. But, forever was about 500 years, give or take.
France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now the land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of the Muslim ummah.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the sun never set on the British empire; now Albion exists in a perpetual twilight. Its 95-year-old sovereign is a fitting symbol for a nation is terminal decline.
In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world. Business schools taught Japanese management techniques. Today, its birth rate is so low and its population aging so rapidly that an industry has sprung up to remove the remains of elderly Japanese who die alone.
I was born in 1942, almost at the midpoint of the 20th century the American century. America's prestige and influence were never greater. Thanks to the Greatest Generation, we won a World War fought throughout most of Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. We reduced Germany to rubble and put the rising sun to bed. It set the stage for almost half a century of unprecedented prosperity.
We stopped the spread of c*******m in Europe and Asia and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and now C***D. We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA the blueprint of life.
But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has moved from a relatively free economy to socialism which has worked so well NO WHERE in the world.
We've gone from a republican government guided by a constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less freedom with each passing year. As a signpost to the coming reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere. We've traded the American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.
The pathetic creature in the White House is an empty vessel filled by his handlers. At the G-7 Summit, Dr. Jill had to lead him like a child. In 1961, when we were young and vigorous, our leader was too. Now a feeble nation is technically led by the oldest man to ever serve in the presidency.
We can't defend our borders, our history (including monuments to past greatness), or our streets. Our cities have become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents, mendicants, and misplaced charity. Homeless veterans camp in the streets while i*****l a***ns are put up in hotels.
The president of the United States can't even quote the beginning of the Declaration of Independence (You know The Thing) correctly. Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that 5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates soar and we blame the 2nd. Amendment and slash police budgets.
Our culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they're women. People who fight r****m by seeking to convince members of one race that they're inherently evil, and others that they are perpetual victims. A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she fantasizes about unloading a revolver into the head of any white person.
We slaughter the unborn in the name of freedom, while our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our national debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend that we will repay it one day. It's a $28-trillion monument to our improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our entertainment is sadistic, nihilistic, and as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is the noise that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.
Patriotism is called an i**********n, treason celebrated, and perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less respect than a man in a dress. We're asking soldiers to fight for a nation our leaders no longer believe in.
How meekly most of us submitted to F***i-ism (the regime of face masks, lockdowns, and hand sanitizers) shows the impending death of the American spirit.
How do Nations slip from greatness to obscurity?
Fighting endless wars they can't or won't win Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to repay Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation to be inundated by an alien horde Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule Allowing indoctrination of the young Moving from a republican form of government to an oligarchy Losing national identity Indulging indolence Abandoning faith and family the bulwarks of social order.
In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced, indicating an advanced stage of the disease.
Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an obligation to those who sacrificed so much to give us what we had? I'm surrounded by ghosts urging me on the Union soldiers who held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the battered bastards of Bastogne, those who served in the cold hell of Korea, the guys who went to the jungles of Southeast Asia and came home to be reviled or neglected. Yes, America is not well.
This is the nation that took in my immigrant grandparents, whose uniform my father and most of my uncles wore in the Second World War. I don't want to imagine a world without America, even though it becomes increasingly likely.
During Britain's darkest hour, when its professional army was trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed imminent, Churchill reminded his countrymen, Nations that go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely are finished.
The same might be said of causes. If we let America slip through our fingers if we lose without a fight, what will posterity say of us?
While the prognosis is far from good, only God knows if America's day in the sun is over.
It sure looks bad to me! I feel sick now.

Although you say there's no need for comments, I want to make one: This is an alarming and realistic summary of what is going on right now in America. Mark Levin told his viewers that those among them who are organizers need to get going with organizing groups - as large as possible in their neighborhoods - to start meeting and developing plans for when government tries to take over their towns and cities. And he said they should start "yesterday". He said we are headed towards a dictatorship that has taken serious form in only FIVE months! Imagine what they will do in five more months, and five more after that....etc....

Amen to that! Prayer never hurt anyone, and has helped many. Good idea!

Scary and sad. Seeing our country disintegrate right before our eyes makes my heart break.
There's a man in our neighborhood who has already invited a handful of us for a meeting at his house about this. We are prepared to contribute as much time as necessary to getting ready. He wants us to start by getting very familiar with the constitution. To know the laws that the founders made that have worked for our country for 243 years. And to know when they are being broken by those who are running our towns, cities and country. "Be prepared" is a good motto to follow right now. 😐
Now they want to come to your door and ask if you are v******ted, will they also ask to see your gun(s)? Or "we want your Bible"?
JUST ASKING.
This why history is important to learn so as to not do the same thing again. Instead this country is trying to rewrite history by tearing down statutes and ignoring the past.

It set the stage for almost half a century of unprecedented prosperity.
We stopped the spread of c*******m in Europe and Asia and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and now C***D. We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA the blueprint of life.
But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has moved from a relatively free economy to socialism which has worked so well NO WHERE in the world.
We've gone from a republican government guided by a constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less freedom with each passing year. As a signpost to the coming reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere. We've traded the American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.
The pathetic creature in the White House is an empty vessel filled by his handlers. At the G-7 Summit, Dr. Jill had to lead him like a child. In 1961, when we were young and vigorous, our leader was too. Now a feeble nation is technically led by the oldest man to ever serve in the presidency.
We can't defend our borders, our history (including monuments to past greatness), or our streets. Our cities have become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents, mendicants, and misplaced charity. Homeless veterans camp in the streets while i*****l a***ns are put up in hotels.
The president of the United States can't even quote the beginning of the Declaration of Independence (You know The Thing) correctly. Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that 5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates soar and we blame the 2nd. Amendment and slash police budgets.
Our culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they're women. People who fight r****m by seeking to convince members of one race that they're inherently evil, and others that they are perpetual victims. A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she fantasizes about unloading a revolver into the head of any white person.
We slaughter the unborn in the name of freedom, while our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our national debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend that we will repay it one day. It's a $28-trillion monument to our improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our entertainment is sadistic, nihilistic, and as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is the noise that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.
Patriotism is called an i**********n, treason celebrated, and perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less respect than a man in a dress. We're asking soldiers to fight for a nation our leaders no longer believe in.
How meekly most of us submitted to F***i-ism (the regime of face masks, lockdowns, and hand sanitizers) shows the impending death of the American spirit.
How do Nations slip from greatness to obscurity?
Fighting endless wars they can't or won't win Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to repay Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation to be inundated by an alien horde Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule Allowing indoctrination of the young Moving from a republican form of government to an oligarchy Losing national identity Indulging indolence Abandoning faith and family the bulwarks of social order.
In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced, indicating an advanced stage of the disease.
Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an obligation to those who sacrificed so much to give us what we had? I'm surrounded by ghosts urging me on the Union soldiers who held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the battered bastards of Bastogne, those who served in the cold hell of Korea, the guys who went to the jungles of Southeast Asia and came home to be reviled or neglected. Yes, America is not well.
This is the nation that took in my immigrant grandparents, whose uniform my father and most of my uncles wore in the Second World War. I don't want to imagine a world without America, even though it becomes increasingly likely.
During Britain's darkest hour, when its professional army was trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed imminent, Churchill reminded his countrymen, Nations that go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely are finished.
The same might be said of causes. If we let America slip through our fingers if we lose without a fight, what will posterity say of us?
While the prognosis is far from good, only God knows if America's day in the sun is over.
It sure looks bad to me! I feel sick now.
No need for any comments. This says it all. br b... (

This is where you missed it: "We stopped the spread of c*******m in Europe and Asia and fought international terrorism."
We did NOT stop the spread of c*******m. Hitler was trying to stop c*******m when he invaded Russia. Karl Marx was the creator of c*******m.Moses Mordecai Marx Levi, alias Karl Marx, was a Jew, a Satanist, and a member of the “League of the Just,” which was a branch of the Illuminati. [2011] Solving the Mystery of Babylon the Great by Edward Hendrie
Jewish s*********t rabbi, Harry Waton, confessed that
not only is C*******m Jewish, but that it is simply a mechanism for Jewish world d******n and the subjugation of all non-Jews — a fulfillment of the megalomaniacal messianic vision of the Torah and the Talmud. In his 1939 book, “A Program for The Jews and An Answer To All Anti-Semites: A Program for Humanity”, the r****t rabbi wrote:
“It is not an accident that Judaism gave birth to Marxism, and it is not an accident that the Jews readily took up Marxism; all this was in perfect accord with the progress of Judaism and the Jews. The Jews should realize that Jehovah no longer dwells in heaven, but he dwells in us right here on earth; we must no longer look up to Jehovah as above us and outside of us, but we must see him right within us,” (p. 148) “Since the Jews are the highest and most cultured people on earth, the Jews have a right to subordinate to themselves the rest of mankind and to be the masters over the whole earth. Now, indeed, this is the historic destiny of the Jews,” (p. 99) “Judaism is c*******m, internationalism, the universal brotherhood of man, the emancipation of the working class and the human society. It is with these spiritual weapons that the Jews will conquer the world and the human race.” (p. 100) [pdf 2012 Feb] The Jew World Order Unmasked
http://whale.to/c/karl_marx.htmlAnd the reason we didn't stop c*******m is because we were averted from seeing the t***h by our own government!!! (Or, at least we THOUGHT it was our government.) (Not all Jews are of the same mind and opinion, and I thank God for them!)
