There is always room for change that is good. But change that is destructive and illegal is wrong I don't care who brings it about.
There are some factors that are set in stone not because we have always done it that way, but because of common sense.
Same sex marriage was, is, and will always be a perversion that leads to disaster on many fronts. Just because a small percentage of the population believes it is right doesn't make it right.
Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.
America has lost its sense of value of human life. We have become a country who uses a******n for birth control to the point of 56 million plus babies have been murdered; yet we will do everything in our power to spend millions to save a snail darter.
We make a big issue of welfare instead of workfare. I am for helping any and every person who cannot help themselves. We are bound morally and spiritually to help the least of these. But there is a very clear spiritual teaching that says those who won't work shouldn't eat. This is not mean, it is logical and justified.
To develop not only one generation but to keep on generation after generation developing people who are totally dependent on the government or anyone for that matter is a crime to humanity.
I know I am ranting on and on, but anyone in their right mind must out of true honesty admit we are on a very dangerous road in our nation. In Luke 21, Jesus said that there will come a time when there is distress among nations with perplexity.
If you explore what these words mean in the original language. it means that Jesus uis saying there will be a time when there is so much confusion and chaos in the world among nations that there will be no answers, no way to figure a way out of the problems that have been created. How are we ever going to pay off a 17 trillion plus national debt.. How are we going to produce an big enough population to reproduce ourselves if we keep k*****g babies at the rate we presently k**l them. How are we going to reproduce ourselves if same sex marriage becomes the norm?
How are we going to defend ourselves if we keep reducing our armed forces and at the same time giving money to countries that h**e us and even vow our destruction?
How are going to develop the work ethic in young people or anyone for that matter if there are no jobs that pay equal or more than welfare? Where is the incentive, where is the motivation?
The Left accuse the Right of being the 1 per-center's, there are just as many rich on the Left as there are on the Right.
The time has come to stop this slide into disaster. We are quickly reaching the point of no return, no way out. We truly are a country that is filled with distress with perplexity.
There is one thing for certain, not only the face... (

To add to your post for some more perspective...
15 'Signs of the Times' Indicating JudgmentThe Bible warns us about saying "everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation" (1 Pet. 3:4) when judgment is at hand. We know that God is "patient not wanting anyone to perish" (v.9), but there comes a time when the gavel falls!
After Hurricane Katrina, a former resident of Louisiana told of growing up hearing warnings of levies breaking but folks simply tuned it out when nothing happened. This describes America today.
If you fell asleep like a Rip Van Winkle for 30 years and awoke today, imagine how shocked you would be at what happened to America.
1. Divorce: Increased from 4% to 51% in one generation.
2. Cohabitation: 65% of "altar-bound" singles live together, a euphemism for lifestyle fornication.
3. A******n: 57 million unborn babies aborted, some with taxpayer funding and now part of socialized medicine.
4. Marijuana: Being legalized in several states.
5. Euthanasia and Infanticide: Being legalized under camouf**ge names.
6. Pornography: Rampant, graphic, just a "click away" on hand-held devices.
7. Homosexuality, lesbian and t*********r lifestyles: Promoted even by our president along with gay marriage and homosexual ordinations.
8. Movies and music: Standards almost nonexistent with graphic nudity, profanity and blasphemy commonplace.
9. Out-of-wedlock births: 1st time in U.S history more than 50%.
10. Sexually t***smitted diseases: Over 110 million in our population infected.
11. Economic insanity: $18 trillion national debt; millions unemployed deriving benefits; $60 billion in annual Medicare fraud and waste.
12. I*****l i*********n: Over 11 million and politicians pushing open borders and amnesty.
13. Political leaders: Corruption, incompetence and deception at all levels.
14. Radical Islam and terrorism: Exploding in regions of the world with an increasingly vulnerable America dismantling militarily and docile politicians calling it a "peaceful religion."
15. Should we add illiteracy... crime... catastrophic fatherlessness... human trafficking... adultery... profane comedians...an ignorant and low information populace? How about the ongoing erosion of our religious freedoms and secularism taking over society? And last but not least, how about a Laodicean, apostate church compromising and lacking the courage to address the defining issues of our day with clarity and conviction while defining success in terms of happy sermons, attendance, offerings, number of staff, programs and square footage?
