I grew up with a sense that America was the greatest place to be and that Americans came together, no matter what, over sports, the flag/ the defense of country, and above all the respect for and reverence of God. In today’s America, there is nothing so sure. I can only best describe the contrast between the America of then and now is STUNNING!
When was the last time that you can remember a Presidential candidate running on shinning a light on the pressing a social or cultural issue such as the restoration of Biblical principles amongst the youth and the public schools since him? Or the absence of morality in the culture? Or just the reverence for American capitalism versus Socialism/Communism?.
As I look around at today’s America I see less and less of the America that I grew up in. I hear less and less of the language spoken by Americans than I did when I was growing up.
How is it that Socialism is spreading in America today? The short answer, because many of them know not of what they speak. The government schools do not teach the difference between the social-economic systems of the world – capitalism, socialism, and communism. If you were born in America during or post the Ronald Reagan presidency you have not heard the virtues of American capitalism boldly spoken by the president of the United States unapologetically.
