America is in a societal meltdown : Comments

By Chuck Baldwin, published 20/7/2010

Contrary to what one hears from the PC crowd today, unity - not diversity - is the key to America's greatness.

Hi Grant

it's as simple as this. When the connection to the Almighty is broken or disregarded, we get Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Linsday Lohan and uncountable others from the male side... we have Gordon Ghekko's and their ilk.. Goldman Sachs etc.. Bernie Madoff's...Gore and company

People do very unrestrained things when they feel no eternal moral restraint.

Keep watching for an event on 28/8 and see what happens.

(Glenn)Beck is booming, (Alex)Jones is Jousting, Orielly stops the spin, the Tea Party movement is growing..(Michelle) Malkin is melting, and even (Jon) Stewart is seeing the light.

We have the Bold Fresh tour (Orielly/Beck) and the American Revival tour (Beck) all sellouts, packouts but hopefully not burnouts.

Obama knows the game is up... you can only say contradictory things to various diverse audiences so many times before you become a laughing stock (if it was actually funny) it's desparate times for the Democrats in general and Obama in particular.

Rhetoric cannot solve problems.

Interesting times for sure.

Chuck Baldwin,

Take your script to the river and soak it well, than shake out of it the pretenses of morality and the stench of religion and look at what is left of it.

What goes for American Revolution was only the consolidation and preservation of power away from Kings of England.

How that power had come to be, had nothing to do with morality or religion. To know better, ask the original habitants of that continent.

Therefore, the American Constitution was not a defining contract between a Sovereign and “archbishop, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justiciaries, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and…bailiffs and liege subjects” (the king’s people), but a contract among violent usurpers of aborigine’s land.

In both cases a Constitution, any Constitution is incompatible with Democracy, any form of Democracy.

Democracy is one form of human association in which the ultimate judges in a dispute between the need of an individual and that of the community is resolved in a Court where the judges are a council of citizen.

Rhetoric cannot solve problems, that's for sure, whether it is rhetoric for or against one's position.

The Paris Hiltons, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohans and uncountable others from either side... are an abomination, that's for sure.

People do very unrestrained things when they feel no *internal* moral restraint - when they are do not learn to take personal responsibility for their own behaviour, often as a result of expecting some external "force".

"And that is what is absolutely wrong with our country today: America is in a complete moral, societal, and cultural meltdown."

So unilaterally declaring war on another nation halfway around the world is not a problem?

Spending huge amounts of money you haven't got isn't a problem?

Propping up rotten investments with billions of dollars in taxpayers' funds isn't a problem?

It's just the moral meltdown!!

[Cue woo-woo music and dramatic scenes shot in red-light strip clubs.]

Don't know about circling the wagons, or the idea that religion is the glue binding American society together. Sounds pretty dubius to me.

But certainly many of the States share the author's view that the federal government has long since ceased pretending to keep within the narrow limits set by the Constitution, and that most federal government legislation and executive action are therefore actually illegal.

The states are now relying on the tenth amendment to nullify federal legislation that violates the Constitution.

These Acts make it illegal for the State to spend its own money enforcing unfunded federal mandates, such as the war against drugs.

Some of them even make it a crime for federal agents to try to enforce such laws in the nullifying State, thus setting up a 'gundown at sundown' type scenario between Wyatt Earp-like county sheriffs and Dick-Tracy-like federal agents.
