Welcome!
Regretfully (and respectfully to dear Dewey), I am going to have to join the chorus of naysayers. I don't hold out any false hope for these United States.
I have felt that way for a number of years. In the picture above, 40 years ago, I basically felt the same way. Even later in a book, McNamara admitted to planned defeat. That has been the plan all along, to become less and less. It is only then, all countries could or can, merge into the new world order. You might call me one of those conspiracy theorists. In more private circles, the illuminati and freemasons, the eagle really represents a Phoenix (that was the original intent. In mythology, of course, the Phoenix in the end, crashes and burns).
The Statue of Liberty was given to us by Illuminist French Freemasons in 1876. "Towering above the shimmering but polluted waters, she holds in her outreached arm and hand a torch of fire and light. A gift of the Masonic Order, the modern inheritors of the Illuminati heritage, the Statue of Liberty was sculptured by Frederic Bartholdi, a member of the Masonic Lodge of Alsace-Lorraine in Paris, France. The statue is significant to the secret societies plotting the New World order." [Texe Marrs, Dark Majesty: The Secret Brotherhood and the Magic of a Thousand Points of Light , p. 212]
In other words, this was Francis Bacon's "New Atlantis." Early on, bad seeds were sown in with the good. The "good" was only inasmuch as we stuck to our Christian principles. However, the words written by Katherine Bates, "and crown thy good with brotherhood" was always an impossibility. The arrogance of this statement epitomized our downfall. We were never good, only God is; furthermore, brotherhood is not possible except within the body of Christ. Our "goodness" has come home to roost and is manifested in what we see now: a drug culture, a death culture (abortion), homosexuality, occultism, all forms of idol worship. And now after years of desiring to divide the land of Israel, it is rapidly coming to a head with a vengeance.
Patriotism is good up to a point. But America is no longer beautiful. We are no longer a constitutional republic. Fascism is government controlling industry and we have arrived. It is never wise to put an earthly nation on a pedestal.
Here are two items to take note of:
* the oil gushing under the gulf
* the spread of depleted uranium via our munitions
An event of great import also is the pope going to Jerusalem. Even more so if this pope dies. The next one will most likely--as per St. Malachy's vision-- declare the world religions as one via this secret plan called "the New Jerusalem Covenant Project."
Albert Pike's demonic vision of three world wars seems to be not far off. This will most likely include--besides the obvious (the middle east)--the Korean peninsula, China, and major terrorist attacks within the U.S..
I believe we are past the point of no return. It is extremely unlikely (with all due respect as a few have suggested) nations all over the world will suddenly repent and turn to Christ. Instead, they will be ripe to believe the lie of world unity via the false prophet and antichrist.
My final closing opinion is. . .we do well to value our citizenship less here (wherever that might be), and more as citizens of heaven.
The burning question, of course, remains: when, Lord (secondly, how much will we see).
Thank you for your input, CJ. I have always valued your well thought out opinions

Hi Mollie, no you don't stand alone in the gap, I am
there, as well the folks who prayed on the Capital
steps this saturday just past, anybody see part of it?

"America, America my family bled and died for you ;
no other nation have I loved like you.
Lord thy will be done on earth;
as it is in heaven."
Mollie--I thought about this subject for weeks before I finally posted. I have concluded that you and me, our views, are not so different. Probably. Mine are a synthesis of several: Texas Sue's "America & Rise of World Government"; Angelheart's "I AM SORRY BUT I DO NOT SEE AMERICA RESTORED AT ALL". I shared her anger (righteous indignation); Melissa's "Where Did We Go Wrong?"; and yours: "I Started Crying."
I understand it's a sensitive subject because Americans are fiercely patriotic (except for a time when I was young) and underneath it all, so am I.
It's a bittersweet love/hate sort of thing. It used to be the Star Spangled Banner used to bring tears to my eyes for the common reason; now it's more for the unborn aborted, and our treatment of Israel, just for starters. I believe we have much in common.
Did you deliver mail in the Bitteroot Mountains? I'm a retired postal worker. Yes, I still believe in praying for our country and even its leaders. There are few who I admire but I like Ron Paul, Sarah Palin,
and Davy Crockett (he was before my time ). Yes, like Davy Crockett at the Alamo (now I wouldn't blame Texas if they seceded from the union) I stand in the gap w/ you. (We can pray.) The big question is, if we are here: if it came to it, should we go down fighting or go peacefully to the concentration camp?
I had a brother in Vietnam, an uncle in Korea ...my mom has a picture of a relative in the civil war.
If you didn't know, the picture was me at 20 in Vietnam in Can Tho: 1970. (Perhaps I thought it added to the burden of my right to speak. Perhaps I am wrong.) I might add they hated us in those days when we returned (I'll never forget the stewardess giving me a hard time and the Viet Cong flag flying on Mission Street. Incidentally, I much believe in praying for our enemies.)
But I agree with you Molly, and Gary Steadman and J.R. Church, who said yesterday to pray for America.
Yes, I will stand in the gap w/ you.
(Incidentally, I also believe in the right to bear arms--Davy Crockett would agree and most folks from Weippe 
]--that may be on the chopping block next.)
God bless, Molly, and may your burden be light (and may you be painfree). Peace, Dewey.

Now you'll know who to look for after the rapture. We'll be young again. Thanks for kind words and encouragement. Also, thank you too, Mtn. Mollie. I had meant to say, and am adding it now--my other brother got shot at in Dominican Republic, another little skirmish about '62 or so… Many people have forgotten it. And I didn't want to either. As was the government of S. Vietnam, the Dominican government was extremely corrupt (and murderous). It's too bad we have to get involved with these wars. “Beware of foreign entanglements.†I’m not sure if George Washington really said that but it sounds like good advice. But the speech went like this:
"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop."
I’m not sure about the commercial relations sometimes either.
I won’t get into the politics of the present wars except to say that the same rule of thumb should apply. And before we were spreading Agent Orange, now it is dangerous depleted uranium.
Bob, whenever I meet a veteran, I always like to shake their hand and tell them Thank You - so since I can't physically shake your hand, this will have to do, and may I say:
THANK YOU so very much for your service to our country!
Maybe Today-thanks. I appreciate that. Wasn't looking for or expecting any praise.
Mollie-you have so many good and wise things to say. Looks like an interesting book.
Diane-thanks for the handshake. Now I'm almost feeling embarassed. (We'll let the handshake include all the others.)
Mollie-I'm sorry but there was a misunderstanding. My brother is fine. I said "he got shot at"--not shot.
That's just my strange usage of the English language
.
Here's a patriotic song I think you might all enjoy.
It's off the album called "America," 1972. Wanted to find the song
"America" itself, but this will have to do
