All you have said is obvious to our citizens. Awareness seems to be dawning upon a few, but even they do not know which direction to go.
Proverbs 29:18 says something to the effect that "Where there is no vision..." and then the translations diverge.
The KJV says that "the people perish". My RSV says that "the people cast off restraint".
Scholarly examinations aside, both may be true, at least in the American experience of recent decades.
There is now no vision, thus even those who understand that danger is near are unable to correct it.
God help us all if a man with wicked vision arises. All conditions being equal this day, such a scenario is very possible and even likely.
Biblical foundations for human living and governance have been thrown off even by main stream protestant churches. If the church throws God's Word in the gutter, how long will we stand? The Gallup Poll states that protestant decline accelerates every year. Accelerates!
Nationalism is the greatest danger to American liberty. The level of unchecked militarism in this country is such that it blinds everyone. I have seen flags and uniformed gunmen parading through the sanctuary of God's house during worship services. God is not Lord even of our worship when nationalism intrudes.
This coming veterans day will see demonstrations of nationalistic support of the military unrivaled even by 4th of July celebrations of the past. Why do we celebrate and congratuate those who have murdered and destroyed in the name of American foreign policy?
Why do we NOT celebrate those who nurture, build and protect?
Veterans, of which I am one, are often called to stand to their feet IN CHURCH to be recognized. I know you've seen it. This cheap form of entertainment is universal in America. When was the last time you saw ANYONE call teachers, doctors, nurses, carpenters*, or farmers to their feet for recognition of their sacrifice and contribution to society?
Why are the builders and creators among us NOT recognized, but the destroyers and murders are?
America is lost and going the way of nations who have been judged of God in past years.
(*) You all know that Our Lord was once a carpenter by trade. I wonder if anyone would care to recognize His carpentry work in church these days. Instead they'd prefer to recognize Pilate for his efforts to combat terrorism, or perhaps the soldiers that nailed Jesus to the cross.
We have fallen down and can't get up.
