Today, we have no school prayer, God is missing from virtually all public sponsored events, and it’s legal to kill an unborn child. The disrespect of authority is so significant that we hate each other when it’s not our leader in power. We lowered standards to improve performance and raise self worth, and we stopped celebrating achievements. We have been taught that America is bad.

We’ve never been perfect, but we never stopped trying to improve. We fought for what’s right, including two world wars. True, Americans don’t like what we’ve become. What people don’t understand is America is the only real option left to save the world in spite of all our problems.

If you’re wondering why people are reaching for weapons and choosing fists to settle problems, it’s because we hate and fear instead of love. We clench our teeth and hands in place of reaching to help one another. We’re frenzied by social media and the news. We’ve been lied to. We are good. We’re making bad choices.

The shackles are on the way as communism is on the march. We’ve had a silent coup.
