The Accelerated Moral Decline of Our Country
As I continue to watch the nightly talk news TV shows such as CNN or Fox News, as well as listen to talk radio driving in my car, it is increasingly depressing seeing the rapid direction our country is quickly taking. Everyday, I just ponder…”What in the world are people thinking”. Billy Currington’s country song has it right, “God is great…and people are crazy”. If you don’t believe me, just manage or lead people in any capacity and you will quickly come to the same conclusion. We all know that our country has been on a moral decline for decades; however in the past year things seem to have hit a new accelerated pace with the decisions coming from leadership. What should I or you expect when our leadership has made appointments such as Kevin Jennings, Safe School Czar, who’s past as a school teacher is anything but “safe” for our children. Or the celebrating of the 60th anniversary by the Empire State Building as it illuminated in red and yellow to celebrate China’s 1949 communist revolution…only one of the bloody Communist uprising in our world’s history. Or how much of Europe and the Hollywood community portray Roman Polanski as a wayward genius who has fallen victim to American bigotry; instead of the rapist he is.
Worst president in history?
(The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor. I can not take credit for this blog, but I had to post it for more people to read)
Liberals claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history.
Let’s clear up one point: President Bush didn’t start the war on terror.
Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.
Let’s look at the worst president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II.
> Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
> From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost,
> an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us.
> From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost,
> an average of 18,333 per year.
