We Are The Evil Empire

There was a time where the United States of America stood for freedom, justice, Godly morals, love thy neighbor, and that which was good in man.  It really was not that long ago.  It was in my lifetime.  When I look at the country now, I don’t know who we have become.  We are unrecognizable now from the moral super power we once were.  Not only are we unrecognizable; but we are living a delusion, thinking we still are the moral super power.

IN my lifetime, we used to believe that every child had the right to live.  That changed in 1971 and now we have slaughtered over 50,000,000 people on the alters of liberalism.  How can we speak to others of human rights when we do not even value the lives of our own humans?  The souls of the murdered scream for vengeance.

In my lifetime, we used to value ourselves and our bodies.  Sex was viewed as a sacred thing given only in love to a partner of the opposite sex in a lifelong bond.  Now we live in a society of sexual deviants that only cares about self-gratification in the moment.  We have devalued the bond between two people of the opposite sex that we feel it is ok to have intercourse with anyone, without consequence or responsibility.  Entire industries have sprung up to serve the self-serving instant gratification seeking spoiled brats, including the murder factories mentioned above. 

In my lifetime, you could not even show a belly button on the screen.  Today it is almost impossible to find a movie without a pornographic sex scene between unmarried people.  The themes of movies were once good vs evil where the good triumphed in the end compared to today’s films of special effects and gore where you can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys and you are never quite sure which one won.  How can we speak of being a moral people when our pop icons are barely more than porn stars who have flashed their private areas to millions to gawk at?

In my lifetime, sex between two people of the same sex was considered a perversion and a mental illness.  Today, not only is it considered normal, but we are redefining our social institutions to accommodate this perversion of nature.  Now that this is normalized, we have people who want to have sex with little children wanting to be recognized and accepted into society as normal as well.

In my lifetime, Foods could be mostly trusted to be what they were naturally.  The beef, chicken, fruits and vegetables were closely related to the exact same things we had eaten naturally since our beginnings.  Today we have these scientifically produced monster foods that are destroying the very environment we need to survive in and may even be killing us off slowly.  In a sick need for greed we are putting our entire existence on this planet in jeopardy just to create a few more bucks into a corporations coffers.

Doesn’t it seem a little odd that today, in the country we once considered the evil empire just 30 years ago, Russia, Bibles are allowed and taught in their schools, and sex is at least recognized as only normal between a man and woman?  And that this evil empire considers what we are doing to our food supply so dangerous to the existence of people on this planet that they are saying war may result from our tampering with the food chain?  Maybe Russia is not the evil empire any more.  I think we have taken up that role, and most don’t even see it.
