Is America Self-Destructing?

31267438501?profile=RESIZE_400xIs it true? Abraham Lincoln warned that America would never be destroyed from the outside. If it lost its freedoms, it would be because it destroyed itself. Will Durant said the same of great civilizations: they are not conquered from without until they have first collapsed from within.

Nations change. Empires vanish. Babylon, Assyria, and the Hittites are gone. Egypt is not the land of the pharaohs. Rome is not the Republic. Britain is not the empire. A few cultures persist in new costumes; China still concentrates power at the top. That America of 1776 is changing too should surprise no one.

Sir Alexander Tytler estimated that great civilizations last, on average, about two hundred years. The United States, at least in name, is now two hundred and fifty. The change is no longer theoretical.

A recent headline captured one slice of it: Los Angeles Democrats moving to open city elections to foreigners.

“A country without a meaningful line between citizen and non-citizen is not a country; it has degenerated into a crowd or maybe even a mob.”  Steve Eichler, JD. Founder of the Patriot Command Center

The Founders never contemplated that. They assumed a people bound by law, language, and a shared moral inheritance. James Madison put the matter plainly: the future and success of America rest not in the Constitution alone, but in the laws of God upon which that Constitution was founded.

What is happening now is not ordinary evolution. It is an attempt to keep the name “America” while emptying the thing the name once described: limited government, property, individual responsibility, and a citizenry expected to govern itself.

  • Virtue is treated as optional.
  • Dependence is treated as compassion.
  • Fiscal restraint is treated as cruelty.
  • US Constitution is treated as an inconvenience.

Danger signs are growing and the red flags of democratic fatigue is setting in.  Ask yourself, do you see what is happening?

  • Replacing limited government with administrative power.
  • Switching work and ownership with patronage
  • Turning a common moral language with license is a different project.

It has one consistent aim: concentrated power for those who administer the new arrangement, and less for everyone else.

Empires disintegrate when the energy that created them disappears from those who inherit them. That energy was not merely wealth or armies. It was a people willing to live under law they did not write yesterday and a government they did not intend to become their parent.

Look at it this way: Half the country still wants that inheritance. Half does not. The second half is not hiding the goal. It wants a different regime and is content to trade heritage for a bowl of porridge, todays meal.

Self-destruction is not fate. Egypt, Rome, and Britain survived as something else. America can still choose heritage: citizenship that means something, government that is limited, and a people that remembers why those limits existed. But America can also choose the opposite and call the result progressive.

The question is not whether the country is changing. It is whether the change will include our national heritage or will it de-evolve into a twisted menagerie of confused privileges doled out by a government hierarchy.

  • It has been noted through out history, no empire last for ever when its rise to power is created in blood.

    Over 100 million tribal indains are dead to build America the Beautiful. I did visit them and even so my people did not kill un-armed men women and children after the treaty was signed, I was ashamed.....

    The Romans made use of a people and run them off of their land, or killed them. The empire of Egypt did the same.

    America is dead from within a sin that people do not understand. When I found out about the Dems flying in people and the border issue, I started the Prayer of Passage. It is a very simple prayer that can not be stopped. People see them getting sick and they are not with us anymore.

    Its simple to just ask God to look into the hearts of men, and to remove them from this world. The sin of harming a child even in war is death with no forgiveness.

    I think some do not understand what the Crown is not and what they truely are..?

    I all most smiled when this was sent to me. F the Crown. Look what they did  to their own people murders and rapes and the bitch the Queen gave her word she would put a end to this.

     Long Live the Queen, my bad, the bitch is dead.

  • Yep, because as a nation we have turned our backs on GOD and his word

    • Yes, as a nation, we have turned away from our Judeo Christian values. Jesus is the only way to salvation and the restoration of America. 

    • Judeo Christian Values was put together to bring peace between Jews and Christians.

      Was there ever a war between Jewish people and Christians?

      No, there was never a formal war between the Jewish nation or people as a collective and Christians as a collective.

      Instead of organized wars between two religious states or armies, the history between Jewish and Christian communities was marked by theological debates, social discrimination, and periodic episodes of Christian-led violence or persecutions against Jewish minorities living in Europe and the Middle East.

      After the murder of Christ, all of the followers, and the family, even women and children were hunted down a killed. Them that the could not find the Romans killed the rest. And yes it is true Mary and John went into the land that is known as Turkey.

      I do know who these Priest are that paid Judas to point out who Christ was.

      When I was young playing with my friends and they talked about Jesus, I did not know who he was, so I ask my mom and dad, and they said this is a issue to learn for myself. 30 years later I did just that.

    • 🙏🏼🙏🏼

  • Half of the country is self destructing! 

    • Yup! ....and we are the other half! 

    • We are the CAVALRY!!  Don't forget - - - 

    • Steve, this "other half" will save the whole. We also have most of the moneyed elite on our side. Most billioniares will selflessly help us swing all future elections the right way.

    • 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Pray you are right - -
