Isolated this isn't that big of a deal and I can see why people brush it off and this is gonna sound a little alarmist but it really is a bigger picture issue.
-Can't play anthems at games anymore
-Biggest newspaper in the country says America was founded in 1619
-Kids can't wear shirts to school with an American flag on it in a lot of places because it may offend others
-Statues of historical figures must come down
At some point, are we still a country? Shared values, history, appreciation for where we are? Well, if not what are we?
Basically just a bunch of people who check their smart phones to see how the latest gov't handout talks are going and what piece of the pie we'll get out of it and what piece of the pie we'll contribute to it. Doesn't sound very sustainable.
Bingo.
We're heading for the scrap heap of history.
There won't be a violent revolution. This isn't the North vs the South. It's neighbor to neighbor. 55 Main St against 53 Main St.
We are a spoiled society. There is a pragmatist / producing party and an ideological / taker party. In any sane collective of people the producers have the biggest voice. Take the family unit. Dad and mom speak for the kids.
But when LBJ created the Great Society by expanding the welfare state, the rails started to get corrupted. The train is now off the track because the rails have rotted away.
People who know nothing are lumped with people who contribute nothing to dilute the pool of thinkers and producers.
The politicians of the time should have made a deal that if the government is your source of income you trade in your vote until you are completely off the government teat. Problem solved. The producers rule and take care of the "less fortunate" until the needy get back to productivity.
But they didn't and we are now doomed until we lose the dollar as the world's currency. Then we all fall off the cliff together. And China becomes the new world king.
Very astute posts.
Culturally, America is unraveling at the seams. There is no magic bullet or leader that can stop this trainwreck.
Andrew Breitbart always said, "politics is downstream from culture", which is true.
But it goes even deeper than that.
Culture is downstream from the spirit world, which is even more profound, aka all that Judeo-Christian "religion crap" the Marxist left wants to abolish everywhere.
The founding fathers came from the age of enlightenment. There's no spinning this - what we're entering now is another dark ages, outright Satanic (how appropriate the creepy the NFL halftime show was in-your-face Satanism)..
An Orwellian world where up is down and down is up...
Seriously... this NOT an Onion headline:
‘Chestfeeding’: Hospitals Tell Midwives To Change Language To Accommodate Trans Community
What happened?
The Bible says Lucifer is in charge of this world, but that if we repent humbly ask God for wisdom and guidance, the devil will flee from us - and our country.
In a nutshell, this is what is happening. Too many people, too many corrupt institutions rebelling against God and our founding principles, like narcissistic prepubescent children who didn't get enough candy.
Wisdom,
true wisdom, is not knowledge, but the ability to discern or judge what is true, what is right, what is wrong, what is just, what is...common sense.
We don't have common sense anymore, we have political correctness...like I said, dark ages.
People can't even imagine the self-inflicted HELL that awaits us...
