The Decline of America

It is humorous  to contemplate why America is in decline, because it isn't caused by the Government, it is caused by the people.  We the people are the problem, we choose who represents us in the primaries and elections.  We should make them uphold and respect the law as it was and as it is written when this great country was formed.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

How many people have read this document the constitution?  It is the manual or instructions that shows us how to operate the government.  Sadly, we all want to take the short cuts and trust someone else to tell us how it works.  I guess we want the book, "The Constitution for Dummies."  We will buy this book and never read it and our government will not change.

Today, we want to blame everyone but ourselves for the circumstances that have put our country where it is economically, politically and morally.  We no longer want to work, we only expect that we are owed.  Look at our country as a whole and and you will have your answer.

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel       them to the separation.

What is sad to me is that we need to recognize what the Laws of Nature and Nature's God are, and when we as a country fail to do that we will fail just as the Roman Empire did.  Sadly the similarities are the same for this great country and that of the Roman Empire.  When the moral course of the country is lost and that compass no longer functions we begin the decline.

The people define the course of America, and the people can correct that course only if the choose to do it.  If the real Americans don't speak nothing will change.

If we don't read the manual, understand our rights, understand that the government is subservient to the people, and that the Constitution must be upheld,  we will only be led down the path of failure.
