Where has America the great gone?

 

America differs from a lot of countries today in that we still afford people the opportunity to better themselves. Where has the America that George Washington and James Madison, dreamed of. A land where people would be free to express their beliefs and where people could worship an almighty God and not fear ridicule and persecution. Have we gone that far away.

“We are called the nation of inventors. And we are. We could still claim that title and wear its loftiest honors if we had stopped with the first thing we invented, which was human liberty.”

Mark Twain.

From that beginning that we live in a country that does not believe in God any more. Why has America become the world police force? Why can we as a collective people not mind our own business? In the past few weeks the president has gotten involved with the situation in Israel. I ask why. it is none of our business You know the Monroe doctrine was originally meant to tell the European countries that they can no longer colonize the Latin America because the United States would view that as interfering with the U.S. and we would stop it.I think that the doctrine meant much more. to me it meant that the united States was not a world police force and we don't get involved with others unless it affects us. And i have one more thing to say. Does the people that run our country think that if they deny God that he will go away. I was listening to a television show and one of the hosts said that it does not matter if President Obama is Muslim. Well i beg to differ it makes all the difference. You see when we start letting people that don’t believe in God run our country then we have lost the dream that Washington and Madison and Monroe had for us. I personaly think that if they were to come back today then they would be ashamed to find how we have turned out. you know one of the people that i love to read, actually one of my favorite authors is C.S. Lewis, and i find that most of the time what he says could not be more right.

“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.”   C.S. Lewis.

When will America realize that. I don't know but i will pray for the day when they do.
