President Ronald Reagan used to refer to the United States of America as “the shining city on a hill”. In the past 4 1/2 years, that shine has gotten tarnished.

This “Great Experiment” has been slowly turned into a Frankenstein’s Monster.

What was the very first thing that Barack Hussein Obama did when he took office? He signed an order giving American money to fund abortions all over the world. Yes, that’s right. His first priority was the taking of innocent lives.

And, it’s all gone downhill from there.

Just look at our military. Obama and his Liberal minions have treated them as if they were a bunch of lab rats to be used for the purpose of social engineering.

First, there was the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, which now allows Homosexuals to basically flaunt their sexual preference while in the service of the United States of America.

In July of 2012, several hundred members of the US Armed Forces, marched, in uniform, in Sand Diego’s Gay Pride Parade.

Also, last year, First Lady Michelle Obama announced that she was putting our servicemen and women of a restrictive diet “for their own good”. Her “diet program” for the public schools is a colossal failure, with kids not getting enough to eat. So why take away hearty meals from our military?

Because she can.

And, now, after those attacks against our Brightest and Best, the Obama Administration is basically outlawing the free expression of Christianity in our Armed Forces, labeling Evangelical Christians as radicals.

Hey, y’all. Reverend Billy Graham’s a radical!

However, this molding of our society by the Progressives doesn’t end with the military.

They have attacked the most vulnerable of us, our children.

Through the Department of Education, and programs like “anti-bullying” and Common Core, all the things, such as Christian morality and ethics, which average Americans, living in the Heartland, have always taught our children and grandchildren, are being undone by the government, in a scenario eerily reminiscent of the Soviet Union or Communist China.

Uncle Sugar is telling our kids that it is alright for heather to have two Mommies, and Bobby not to know who his Daddy is.

They are also being taught in our schools that individual achievement is secondary to the welfare of everyone around them. In other words,

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

Hey, kid. You didn’t build that.

Vladimir Lenin once said,

Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.

What happens when you give “The State” 12 years to indoctrinate your child. Or, 16 years, if they go to college?

Scary, when you think about it, huh?

But, what about us average adults?

How could they possibly indoctrinate us?

Have you heard the expression the “one-eyed monster”? Yep. Our indoctrination by the Progressives takes place through our wide-screen televisions every evening and on the weekends.

For instance, one of the most popular series on TV has been “Two and a Half Men”. The actor who has played the “Half” in the series, Angus T. Jones, is being written out, because he dared to declare, as a Christian young man, that the series was “a bunch of garbage”.

Who are they replacing him with? They are bringing in a beautiful lesbian character, a n unknown product of Charlie Sheen’s character, who, after having a psychotic meltdown in real life, was killed off in the series.

However, it’s not just sexual immortality that we are being bombarded with on a daily basis. It’s the normalization of relative morality and situational ethics, as well.

The Golden Rule’s place in American Society has been replaced by “whatever means necessary”.

Hard-working Americans are finding themselves out of their jobs, thanks to an over-taxing government, which is ignoring an oppressive, stagnant economy.

The desperation of the unemployed, and under-employed, has caused them to seek relief from Uncle Sugar, joining the already-dependent class, causing 47% of Americans to be on some form of government assistance.

This, in turn is destroying our citizens’ ambitions and turning the American Dream into a nightmare.

This past week has seen the slippery slope upon which “the shining city on a hill” has been cascading down, become slicker and steeper.

Yesterday, in 100 cities across our nation, Black Americans and their Liberal sympathizers, protested for “Justice for Trayvon”, seeking “justice for a Not Guilty verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman, a “White Hispanic” neighborhood watch member, who was jumped by a 17-year-old troubled Black kid.

Trayvon Martin, being egged on by his worthless girlfriend, broke Zimmerman’s nose with one punch, then sat on him, beating his face in, while slamming the back of it into the sidewalk. When he would not get off of Zimmerman, as he pleaded for him to, Zimmerman shot him though his heart.

It was later revealed that this high school football player was an aspiring petty criminal, who had been suspected of burglaries in the area, and suspended from school several times for carrying around a burglary tool, and pot in his backpack, had pot in his system at the time of his death.

This is someone to build a “movement” around?

Piling on, on top of everything I have written about today, is something that has been the cherry on top of a “Slippery Slope Sundae”.

Rolling Stone Magazine, a Liberal publication, which has been at the forefront of trends in music and pop culture since the 1970’s, went beyond the pale this week, by featuring a very flattering portrait on its cover of the remaining Boston Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The picture goes along with a story titled “Jahar’s World.” It presents the 19-year-old Islamic Terrorist with his long, curly hair tousled, in manner which is reminiscent of the magazine’s legendary portraits of rock ‘n’ roll icons like The Doors’ Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan.

When asked why he featured a mass murderer in such a positive light on the cover of his magazine, Senior Editor Christian Hoard tweeted,

I guess we should have drawn a d*** on Dzhokhar’s face or something?

The tweet has since been deleted and Hoard has apologized…because he had to.

As I write this post this morning, my thoughts are somewhere between a state of mourning and right indignation for what is happening to my country.

By ignoring and insulting Our Creator, through the acceptance of relative morality and situation ethics, those who govern us, and those of us who meekly accept the bankrupting of our society, are traveling down the same pathway that led to the fall of many great civilizations, such as the Roman Empire.

President Ronald Reagan once said, 

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

Galations 6:7 (ESV) tells us,

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

Those who ignore history, are doomed to repeat it.

Until He Comes,
