U.S.A. In Turmoil
By
Roger Behra
The word turmoil means a state of confusion and trouble, and millions of Americans feel that is the present state of affairs in the U.S.A. Their gut feelings are very correct. Many Americans also feel that the light at the end of the tunnel is very dim, indeed, and there are several factors to consider that feeds this very pessimistic outlook in America.
It all begins with the Obama administration and his Washington super liberals. They have America in debt to the tune of billions that last for one or more generations. Their stimulus program cost billions and did little help for the very bad economy. The mid-year election hopes to change things in Washington, and it has to start soon.
It has to start with the very high unemployment situation that is the highest since the depression if the 1930’s. The Washington health care plan that they passed is a bad one. Home ownership has collapsed for millions. Banks are afraid to make loans to home buyers and to start new small businesses. Terrorism on American soil is a constant worry. The financial support of wars on foreign soil is a great drain on America’s finances because of her involvement. America’s ideals and goals are greatly unmatched by reality. And to top all of this off is the relative thinking and actions that faith in God, religious living, good moral principles, and proper execution of government are far down on the list of great importance.
Thirty-three percent of Americans think that efficient government executions of functions are more important than faith in God and good morality. Only sixteen percent said that God is important in governmental affairs. Nearly fifty percent think that God has no role in improving the American culture. That is at the root of the great decline in America’s culture. It was not always that way.
Once upon a time in the distant past, America was made up of God obeying, church going, moral, honest, and hard-working, and charitable Americans that made America orderly and successful and a great international leader. Americans of years ago knew that God and Godly living and His blessing were needed and so important. And then the counterculture people arrived and changed everything. Now, when fifty percent of Americans feel that God is not important and eighty-four percent feel morality is not important, we have America in turmoil. It is not a coincidence. It is an absolute parallel of events. And the very dim light at the end of the tunnel indicates the turmoil in America’s culture will continue, and that America will never be a great nation internationally ever again. It is good-bye time for America’s once upon a time greatness. It is so very sad, indeed.
