As one who loves America -- not only because I am American, but even more so because I know (not believe, know) that the American experiment in forming a decent society has been the most successful in history -- I write the following words in sadness: With few exceptions, every aspect of American life is in decline.
"Decay" is the word.
The Decline of the Family: Nearly half (48 percent) of American children are born to a mother who is not married. Forty-three percent of American children live without a father in the home. About 50 percent of Americans over 18 are married, compared to 72 percent in 1960. Americans are having so few children that the fertility rate fell to a record low 62.9 births per 1,000 women in 2013. And in an increasing number of states, there are now more deaths than births.
The Decline of Education: Compared to nearly all of American history, the average American school teaches much less about important subjects such as American history, English grammar, literature, music and art. Instead, schools are teaching much more about "social justice," environmentalism and sex.

“At almost every challenge, the bastions of tradition run up a white flag. It's almost as if they've been neutralized, neutered even, as though there were nothing left on the inside. Could it be the emptiness, reluctance to stand on and defend the tradition and its institutions, a shaky hold on principle, a failure to draw conclusions and make judgments, are the real legacy of the 'American Century'? If so, who really won all of those wars?”

Such a shame. This country is being remoulded into something I no longer
recognize.

Nor I. As I've mentioned before, if someone at my military school had forecast what is actually happening today, they would have thought the person loony.
Here is one on IQ's already dropping. What do they hope to gain from this?

I am going to say, all the so-called leaders are all in this destruction of each of their
countries. Do they like it? No They are following orders.
Thanks. The average IQ worldwide is only about 88 today? Seems awfully low.
DeleteI am confused on the Red China issue. First we allowed all their junk into our
ReplyDeletecountry. American's resent this. Then a Red China flag is allowed to fly next to our
flag and I know it was done in DC too. Then we remove the Marines from the retired
Naval station, Long Beach, and allow Red China's Cosco to move in to the station.
But, at the same time, they are drumming up war against Red China or Red China
against us. Does this make sense. Sending a mixed message.

Indeed it does, but being programed from DC, we know that it is devious.
