We have a nation full of people who think they're entitled to a whole bunch of goodies for free. A lot of people think we should have borders wide open to drugs, crime and the dregs of society. We have city, state and national leaders who believe they don't have to obey our laws if they don't want to. There are even people who believe that if they don't like the way an election turns out, they should have the right to overthrow the will of the people.
I can go on and on about what is wrong with the country, but I've come to the conclusion that they are just symptoms of the far bigger and more fundamental issue: we've forgotten or moral, ethical and religious values.
The strength of our nation always relied on those strong values as being the guidelines and the bedrock foundations of everything we set about doing in this country. Now, it's almost as if they have evaporated among a significant portion of our society. Even our churches have changed their rules and teachings to be more lenient and tolerant of abhorrent behaviors; it's as if they feel they can override the Word of God at their own will and discretion.
It seems to me that we need to come to grips with the fact that if we are going to survive, we're going to have to change our ways and get back to our roots.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
