America In Decline--More Evidence

We have written several postings to Conservative Musings regarding the decline we see in this country. It is getting worse and in the following post by Bob Livingston, he details incidents which show us as a country losing our way.  Where will it end and when, it still unclear, however, as President Obama stokes the fires of class envy, the anti-gunners try to remove guns from society and morals decline faster than a roller coaster, we believe the time is sooner rather than later.  Could it occur within the next five years, possibly? It definitely will in 20.

The US has seen its best days and our time as a leader of the free world is fading fast. We must repent from our evil ways and find our spiritual center otherwise, all will be lost. Take another look at our posting on December 19--"America's Decline Defined" http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4248793610847150213#editor/target=post;postID=7154073757341897643;onPublishedMenu=template;onClosedMenu=template;postNum=10;src=postname  . We think that you will find it speaks to our feelings about this country and the reasons for the decline.

For most of our life, we have been positive about the country and its possibilities, however, we have lost that energy, that emotion as we see life getting worse with each passing day. It may seem like the good 'ole USA, but it is not.

More Evidence Of Impending Societal Collapse

Manners, common decency and respect for others are lost American traits.

Interactions turn nasty at the drop of a hat. Name-calling and the violence now pass for discussion. Young children are resorting to theft.

I recently wrote about some of the signs of societal collapse here. Here are some more, taken from recent headlines:

A Pennsylvania man became irate after the replacement hamburger he requested contained a slice of cheese. The replacement was necessary because the first one he ordered at the drive-thru also contained a slice of cheese. He parked his car, entered the restaurant and demanded and received a refund. He then cursed the staff, knocked over a trash can and threw a children’s high chair across a room filled with diners. When he realized that a restaurant worker had followed him outside to get his license plate number, the man grabbed the female worker, put her in a headlock and smashed the phone she was carrying. He then threatened to fight another employee before leaving.

A 65-year-old priest waiting on a bus was attacked with pepper spray and robbed of $125 at a bus stop in Philadelphia in broad daylight.

A college student riding a Chicago Transit Authority train was attacked by a man who put asock filled with feces in her face and hair and on her clothes. The victim said she did not know the attacker and he uttered no words and did not demand her valuables. “I don’t know why he did it,” she said.

A diner at a Denny’s restaurant in San Antonia, Texas, became irate at being made to wait on his bill, so he set fire to the restaurant’s Christmas tree and left the restaurant. The flames caused $150,000 in damage to the business.

An 8-year-old girl was caught on a surveillance camera stealing a package off her neighbor’s porch in Clermont, Fla. Police investigating a spate of missing packages from the neighborhood believe the girl is responsible for all or most of them. Some of the stolen packages were found at a nearby abandoned house.

In Wentzville, Mo., barbershop patrons were discussing the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. One patron said the incident “makes me want to murder the suspect.” For unknown reasons, another patron took that as a threat against him. He retrieved a gun from his car and fired three times at the other patron.

In South Union Township, Pa., two women tussled over a shopping cart at the Wal-Mart Supercenter. When one of the women abandoned the cart and grabbed another, the other woman “still engraged” then “ran down” the first woman with the cart, pushed it onto her back and began punching her in the face.

On a single afternoon in Chicago, a city in the State with the Nation’s most restrictive gun laws, a series of eight shootings left at least 10 people wounded, including four teenagers.

We live in a Nation in which God has been removed from schools, prayers are banned from public places and babies are slaughtered by the thousands on a daily basis. Unemployment remains high and inflation is sapping the wealth of the elderly and savers. Politicians squabble over whether they are going to screw us out of a lot of money or a lot more while ginning up class envy and promoting hatred of one group over another simply on the basis of wealth.

We have become an entertainment-centric, me-first society that has gone from slouching toward Gomorrah to a full-on sprint. We are on the brink of societal collapse.
