As we approach the 250th birthday of the Nation, what's your assessment for the US?

I'm sure I frequently come across as a bit of a doom and gloom person on this forum as evidenced by some of my posts but in my heart, mind and soul I'm the eternal optimist. I'm an eternal optimist because I believe in a loving, righteous and eternal Creator whose greatest gift to humanity was his Son, Jesus Christ.

The Creator's bestowment of unbridled free will for all mankind is also a gift.....and it's the unbridled free will that really separates mankind from every other creature on God's earth and it allows mankind to have a relationship with their Creator.

I felt I needed to give some insight of my spiritual being before giving my honest assessment of where the US is today and the potential future Americans are recklessly stumbling towards in the not too distant future.

Where the US is today is at the proverbial crossroad, a crossroad where a nation either finds its guts, heart and soul or where a nation loses itself to inexcusable apathy or by ignoring or refusing to respond to the forces that seek to destroy the nation the revolutionary patriots fought, bled and died for many generations ago.

Said differently, we're in a fight to preserve the only nation in the world where those who believe in God given free will, individual freedom, personal responsibility, free speech, the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, etc. can exist.

People who believe in these ^^^^ things have no place to go. The US is the last stronghold of Western civilization and it is undeniably under attack from external enemies and the enemies from within. If a significant majority of Americans fail to understand what's at stake and they decide they do not want to fight to preserve the greatest nation in the history of mankind it will eventually fall. There's no way to predict when the US finally teeters over the edge into the socialism/communism/Marxism abyss but there's no denying that event horizon is inevitable if there is not a 180 degree course correction.

Here's something all Americans need to understand. When you hear people speak about the societal benefits of socialism, communism and Marxism they either are purposefully lying or they're grossly ignorant of history. Socialism, communism and Marxism are incestuous bedfellows and nothing good comes from any of these poisonous ideologies.
