NEVER SAID BETTER.

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida in January, 2015, when he said America will not come back.

He wrote:

The American dream ended on November 6th, 2012 in Ohio. The second term of Barack Obama has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind. A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically
unemployed, illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers" have ended Norman Rockwell's America.

You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status. People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired. The cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard, the American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the strings on their beige puppet have brought us Act 2 of the New World Order. The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told. Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness.

I happen to agree with him. My response:

Our Republic WAS working, more or less fine. It had solved some problems and identified others it was working on. Then, something happened. 

Eisenhower happened. His inability to control the Dulles brothers contributed mightily to today's horrors.

Before him, Truman put us into Vietnam. Ike approved the killing of foreign leaders, from the urgings of Allen Dulles, a slope we never managed to climb back up. After Dallas, well, Big Business took over. Nixon opened China, and American businesses started fleeing to 3rd world countries paying.50 a day vs. our $2.00 an hour. That has only gotten worse and cannot be brought back.

In the 1980s, with deregulation, Wall St. went nuts with greed, and leveraged buyouts of companies left and right, then released all the employees and sold the assets. In the 90s and since, corporate competition was stomped out using consolidation methods. Today, we have exactly one passenger train company in the country; four airlines carry 80% of our air traffic, and our largest retailer doesn't even have a store. Big box stores that dominate operate on the designed-obsolescence theory, requiring us to keep buying Chinese crap. Major U.S. corporations have inverted themselves to foreign countries to dodge our taxes, yet continue to avail themselves of our freedoms, defenses, utilities, and labor, without contributing their share to our communities. 

 Most of our problems stem from one: Congress, that is totally bought and paid for by Big Business; and two: from a dumbed down electorate that could care less about learning about issues and candidates and finds it far easier to just keep voting the same people back in office. As a result, the state of IL is tottering on the cliff of bankruptcy and I am sure there are other states close. CA comes to mind.

Racial harmony has all but disappeared. Minority opinions hold sway in our courts. One person doesn't like the Pledge, the Anthem, the Ten Commandments, the Flag, a Christmas display, and suddenly the overwhelming majority is left standing there wondering what the hell happened to their country. Thomas Jefferson felt a revolution every now and then would be necessary. Well, we are in one now, run by Soros, and Alinsky disciples, and their ilk, and their money, and their blind youthful followers who can barely read. It matters not, who wins in Nov, and perhaps that is the biggest crime of all.
