WHY I AM AFRAID THE U.S WILL NEVER BE AS PROSPEROUS AND FREE AS IT ONCE WAS..
We all know things are not great right now, at least not what they once were in this country. I always through the past....what 6-8 yrs....thought we would eventually change course, and get back to being a great prosperous and free nation. I am starting to doubt that, and I will tell you why.

When a country is under tyranny the people want to be free more than anything. They want freedom more than they want foodstamps. They want freedom more than they want government housing. Hell they are willing to die for that freedom.

In America, we have been spoiled. Too spoiled. We have a young generation who wants things given to them. They think the oppsoite of those countries I mentioned. They would rather give up their freedom to get something for free. They would rather give up freedoms to receive free housing, ebt, and student loan forgiveness. They would rather give up freedoms so they can have free healthcare.

I don't think the people pushing for these things realize what the people living under tyranny realize. That when you slowly give up freedoms for handouts...and slowly let the government into every aspect of your lives....you slip into tyranny. I don't think the Libs realize what their policies lead to. And if they do, they are just marxists who should be sent on the first row boat to Cuba.

So, now, either we start weaning people off government dependance, or the Libs will get their way. And if that happens, our children and their children will grow up not knowing freedom. Until it gets to the point where they are willing to die to get that freedom.

The United States days are numbered.
When we went down the road to the Welfare State,
we sealed our fate.
We will die a horrible death, and soon.
We went from the biggest creditor nation the
world had ever seen, to the biggest bum nation
in history.
Why do you think they shut down the shuttle program?
We're so far in debt, we'll never get out. Ever.
We wont end like a drunken bum in the gutter.
We will end with nuclear bombs detonating all over
America from coast to coast.
We deserve destruction, and we will get it.

You can take that to the bank,
if you're dumb enough
to take anything to the bank.

Sure...which is why America has been the most free and prosperous society in history....well until the past 40 some odd years.

We were faaaar more conservative back in the day, when we were actually prosperous.

You are a great example of what I am talking about. You pretend to know, but you know little or nothing of history or the consequences of your actions, or liberal policy.

Re: WHY I AM AFRAID THE U.S WILL NEVER BE AS PROSPEROUS AND FREE AS IT ONCE WAS..
I’ve been trying to think of some way to encourage you, to look back at other times when our country had fallen on hard times and came roaring back. We have had great ups like our founding and terrible downs like the era of Wilson and FDR. There was the roaring 1920’s followed by the “Brother Can You Spare a Dime” pop song 1930’s. The Golden age of America was the 1950’s when the best cars in the world were made out of America steel and the worst kind of trouble at school on a normal day was getting busted for chewing gum in class. During the malaise of the Carter 1970’s it seemed our torch was going out. Japan, the nation we had nuked only 30 years prior was selling us their cars because in the 70’s American cars weren’t worth their weight in salvage value. Inflation and unemployment were so high they created a new economic measure called the “Misery Index” just to keep track of how bad bad was. Then, just a few years later Ronald Reagan showed us in the 1980’s just why America is the world’s most resilient and potent nation. We went back to space, defeated the Soviet Union, and brought the world into the computer age. We were free and unlimited in our potential for achievement in the 1980’s. Contrary to the 1930’s, one of the pop songs in the 80’s was “My Future’s So Bright, I’ve Got to Wear Shades”.

I wish all that historical evidence could lift my own spirits right about now. But, looking back up at that last paragraph there was something that really never changed much in America throughout all our economic ups and downs of the past. Back then, even during the horribly wrong government tyranny of the days of FDR and the mind-numbing incompetence of Jimmy Carter, America use to be a moral and upright nation. There will always be bad guys somewhere, but on the whole, America use to at least aspire to be a morally upright nation. Not so anymore. America has forsaken God and the blessings and protections of His divine providence have been removed. I believe that our nation is on its own now. Without God’s providence, we are no different than any other desperate, greedy, devolving nation on the planet.

John Adams told us who our constitution was written for. He said, “The Constitution for the United States was written for a moral and upright people and is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other.”

Benjamin Franklin is credited with describing our current economic situation. He said, “When the people discover that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic”.

So, this is where we are. We have lost our moral core and have accepted the insanity that we can simply vote ourselves money. Come quickly Lord. We’re done.

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

When they say that America has lost its moral compass, they are referring to the lies that they tell the rest of the country. Lying is the compass that is being lost and the above statement is one of those lies.

Do your selves a big huge favor speak plainly and stop lying.
Say you cant support a Black Man as the President.
Say you cant function until the Black Man is no longer the President.
Say you cant stand Black People.
Say Black People are beneath you.
Say that Black People dont have rights in America
Say that you wished Black People were still Slaves
Say its all about Black People.
Say you aint going to do a fucking thing until that N#gg is out of office. Just dont fucking lie about it.

Re: WHY I AM AFRAID THE U.S WILL NEVER BE AS PROSPEROUS AND FREE AS IT ONCE WAS..
Cant wait to see the reaction when a Woman, Hispanic, Asian American is elected President. Hope I m around when we elect the first Muslim American President.

This country belongs to all of us Americans not just a few psychotic racist fruitcakes out there attempting a coup and trying to start a fricking civil war.

Re: WHY I AM AFRAID THE U.S WILL NEVER BE AS PROSPEROUS AND FREE AS IT ONCE WAS..
I’ve been trying to think of some way to encourage you, to look back at other times when our country had fallen on hard times and came roaring back. We have had great ups like our founding and terrible downs like the era of Wilson and FDR. There was the roaring 1920’s followed by the “Brother Can You Spare a Dime” pop song 1930’s. The Golden age of America was the 1950’s when the best cars in the world were made out of America steel and the worst kind of trouble at school on a normal day was getting busted for chewing gum in class. During the malaise of the Carter 1970’s it seemed our torch was going out. Japan, the nation we had nuked only 30 years prior was selling us their cars because in the 70’s American cars weren’t worth their weight in salvage value. Inflation and unemployment were so high they created a new economic measure called the “Misery Index” just to keep track of how bad bad was. Then, just a few years later Ronald Reagan showed us in the 1980’s just why America is the world’s most resilient and potent nation. We went back to space, defeated the Soviet Union, and brought the world into the computer age. We were free and unlimited in our potential for achievement in the 1980’s. Contrary to the 1930’s, one of the pop songs in the 80’s was “My Future’s So Bright, I’ve Got to Wear Shades”.

I wish all that historical evidence could lift my own spirits right about now. But, looking back up at that last paragraph there was something that really never changed much in America throughout all our economic ups and downs of the past. Back then, even during the horribly wrong government tyranny of the days of FDR and the mind-numbing incompetence of Jimmy Carter, America use to be a moral and upright nation. There will always be bad guys somewhere, but on the whole, America use to at least aspire to be a morally upright nation. Not so anymore. America has forsaken God and the blessings and protections of His divine providence have been removed. I believe that our nation is on its own now. Without God’s providence, we are no different than any other desperate, greedy, devolving nation on the planet.

John Adams told us who our constitution was written for. He said, “The Constitution for the United States was written for a moral and upright people and is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other.”

Benjamin Franklin is credited with describing our current economic situation. He said, “When the people discover that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic”.

So, this is where we are. We have lost our moral core and have accepted the insanity that we can simply vote ourselves money. Come quickly Lord. We’re done.

Democrats have been OUTFORCING America's best jobs since the 70's, yet you keep voting for them.

You elected a Racist, America-Hating, Affirmative Action Token that sold Cocaine to kids in college, to run the largest economy the world has ever known.

EXACTLY WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN???

When they say that America has lost its moral compass, they are referring to the lies that they tell the rest of the country. Lying is the compass that is being lost and the above statement is one of those lies.

Do your selves a big huge favor speak plainly and stop lying.
Say you cant support a Black Man as the President.
Say you cant function until the Black Man is no longer the President.
Say you cant stand Black People.
Say Black People are beneath you.
Say that Black People dont have rights in America
Say that you wished Black People were still Slaves
Say its all about Black People.
Say you aint going to do a fucking thing until that N#gg is out of office. Just dont fucking lie about it.

Liberty, property rights, my fucking fat white liberal white ass.

See, right here is why Obama will not be re elected. People are tired of these liberal accusations. Tired of being called names because we point out the flaws of your messiah.

You and your type, are the reason no one listens to Libtards anymore. Why all the liberal media is losing viewers almost asw fast as Obama is losing votes.

unfortunately if enough feel this way, it's easier for tptb to keep America down. They're just gonna look at the polls and give you what you expect. The only thing that's really hard to get away is the surprise, so they don't do that too often...

Re: WHY I AM AFRAID THE U.S WILL NEVER BE AS PROSPEROUS AND FREE AS IT ONCE WAS..
We all know things are not great right now, at least not what they once were in this country. I always through the past....what 6-8 yrs....thought we would eventually change course, and get back to being a great prosperous and free nation. I am starting to doubt that, and I will tell you why.

When a country is under tyranny the people want to be free more than anything. They want freedom more than they want foodstamps. They want freedom more than they want government housing. Hell they are willing to die for that freedom.

In America, we have been spoiled. Too spoiled. We have a young generation who wants things given to them. They think the oppsoite of those countries I mentioned. They would rather give up their freedom to get something for free. They would rather give up freedoms to receive free housing, ebt, and student loan forgiveness. They would rather give up freedoms so they can have free healthcare.

I don't think the people pushing for these things realize what the people living under tyranny realize. That when you slowly give up freedoms for handouts...and slowly let the government into every aspect of your lives....you slip into tyranny. I don't think the Libs realize what their policies lead to. And if they do, they are just marxists who should be sent on the first row boat to Cuba.

So, now, either we start weaning people off government dependance, or the Libs will get their way. And if that happens, our children and their children will grow up not knowing freedom. Until it gets to the point where they are willing to die to get that freedom.
 Quoting: Evan03


Dead on balls accurate, but there are people willing to stand with you. Those who led our country to freedom in the first place were by no means the majority, they were the minority by a long shot. They led a tax revolt against tyranny, and were willing to die for that cause. Their punishment most assuredly would have been death, hence the famous phrase "Give me Liberty, or Give Me Death".

Know this, you are not alone, you are not the only one, and judging by ammo sells won't be alone.
