Clinton corruption, Obama lawlessness reflect the degree
Posted: Aug 26, 2016
Politicians like these have always existed; they come as no surprise. They should have been chased off the public stage by outraged citizens with arrest warrants in hand. Instead, they are not only tolerated but enjoy a substantial measure of public support, despite the grave damage they have done to this nation in ways that number a dozen or more. The fault, dear US, is not in our stars; it is in ourselves. Politicians haven't changed; they've always done whatever they could get away with. The only practical check on their behavior in a democratic society is the electorate, and it seems that we HAVE changed. ;
C. S. Lewis would have had a field day puncturing our modern - folly. It all started when they took God out of
[ In Reply To ..]school and broke up the family, which is the foundation for society.
It was replaced with science as a god.
Not science. - Self.
[ In Reply To ..]Self in the traditional sense of my wants, my needs, my wishes, my convenience and my possessions, but also self in the social sense:
My group.
My tribe.
My race.
My party.
I would say fatherlessness has contributed to our fall, too. - It's responsible for a host of
[ In Reply To ..]problems from criminal behavior to poverty. Fatherlessness is weakening the nation.
Speaks volumes about a country that hates Christianity and - the God of the Bible, but loves a culture
[ In Reply To ..]of death like Islam and a phony like Karl Marx and Marxism.
People who want no restraints on their free will no matter how depraved it gets will surely have calamity and destruction in their not-to-distant future. Europe is showing us the “way forward” and we are too eager to get there before them.
I would say we also have a death of culture (the other way around). - Listen to music today.
[ In Reply To ..]Watch the majority of movies with perversion and obscenity as the predominant characteristics.
We live in a society/culture that puts less emphasis on history and more on the now, immediate gratification. It's the subculture that has killed true culture.
It's not just the US, it's Europe and Australia, basically all - Western cultures. China
[ In Reply To ..]is threatening Australia now. They bought up a bunch of land after the mining went bust (squandered on social programs). China also controls many ports around the area. So do the Aussies side with the US or China?
85% of killing in the world has its link to Islam, but we still keeping importing them en masse in Europe and the US.
Iran allowed a Russia to operate from one of its air bases, the first time since the 1979 Iranian Revolution they've allowed a foreign power to do this. Russian forces were permitted to use an air base to conduct bombing raids on targets in Syria.
We just keep getting dumber toward our enemies.
I was listening to the radio and this subject was being discussed, - albeit in a different context.
[ In Reply To ..]It was about a book called the Fate of Empires by Dr. John Glubb. He was able to draw similarities of past world powers and things that happen every generation. He was also able to identify several epochs leading to the rise, climax and eventual decline of historical empires.
The Age of Pioneers. This period is marked by the protagonist generation preparing the foundations of the new empire. This pioneering generation are considered as hardworking, daring innovative and ambitious. This generation were also the underdogs who were never considered by the then pre-existing world power as relevant in the scheme of affairs. The pioneering American immigrants were looked down upon by the British, the Arabs were relegated as backward by the Persians and Romans until the advent of a unifying religion in the form of Islam.
The Age of Conquest. According to Glubb, Conquest may or may not be Military in definition alone. The Islamic Caliphate grew by Military conquest so also was the case of the Mongols. The Roman conquest was a combination of both Military and high level diplomacy borrowed from the Greek model. The British Empire relied on commerce alongside Military expeditions while that of the United States was a conquest of a whole continent by a few brave and hardy immigrants.
The Age of Commerce. Closely following the Age of Conquest is that of Commerce. The advantages of a large extensive land mass territory opens up any new Nation to natural resources locate there within and also allows for a large economic bloc. The splinter societies and realms that existed prior to the expansion of the Roman Empire were open to a larger market with little or no trade barriers. The Roman empire stretching from Syria to Britain was much an economic bloc.
The Age of Intellect. With a booming economy , competition is natural to follow and as such technological innovations and development begin to take shape. This is age also sees more technology transfer to the Military thereby consolidating power for the central administrative body of the Empire.
The Age of Affluence. This age marks the period of an improved standard of living for citizens within the realm of the Empire. Unfortunately, this leads to a widening gap between the rich and the poor. An elitist society then emerges within the Empire which so happens to control vast resources of the empire.
The Age of Decadence. The last and final stage of all Empires is marked by a lowering of moral virtues and principles usually championed by the super affluent group and the middle-class. Their show of wealth and conspicuous consumption lifestyles will natural lead to an uprising by the poorer sections of society to revolt. It is pertinent to state that most Empires are destroyed from within. A sort of implosion occurs usually instigated by the less privileged members of that society.
The last stage of the empire are usually marked by the following social upheavals:
Society moral standards are greatly lowered. A large and undisciplined Army. Glorification of celebrities. Economic meltdown brought about by a devaluation of the currency.
The hallmarks of the above were seen in the declining phase of the Roman Empire.
The last days of Rome also saw economic meltdown since the - ruling elites spent so
[ In Reply To ..]much of the Empire's resources investing in public infrastructure. The Roman denarii was originally based on silver but with years of inflation the coins were reduced to mere silver coated copper coins which had the silver wear out within days of minting.
Then they decided to let in "immigrants" like the Visigoths and "barbarian" tribes who eventually sacked Rome. Sound familiar?
"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it - cannot survive treason from within.
[ In Reply To ..]An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
Marcus Cicero
Some things never change.
Thumbs down to Cicero??? - Why?

Even actual Bible quotes on the Faith Board gets thumbs down. - So don't feel bad.
