Learning From History: A Reluctant Global Citizen

We have learned from history that socialism sucks the life out of a nation. We've experienced this soul "sucking" this past week when the President basically acknowledged that he had no choice but to reopen the government. The socialists won a great victory. America as we know it is on its last legs. Some will tell me that there is hope. America can pull itself out of the morass and stand on its own. I want to believe that.

The 2016 election had given me some hope that we wouldn't be sucked in completely with the one world government currently being secretly formed. I don't know now if it is even possible to save the United States of America as a separate, sovereign nation. The global community is just too strong and unwilling to let us go. You hear it everywhere. There is no America, no real United States anymore. There is only the global community that sucks the lifeblood out of individuals.

No, it's not like Hitler's Germany. Some would like to suggest that it is. The left especially seems to want to paint our current status as a nation as backward. They are pushing hard to indoctrinate young people to embrace the new world order. Young people are vulnerable and highly teachable to this doctrine of global unity.

I am a reluctant global citizen. I didn't ask to be assigned to struggle to find meaningful work while trying to maintain my moral core. I didn't want to have to compete with a global workforce to find work. I am not comfortable with having to defend my faith against those who would use it as a battering ram. I weep when I see those that are barely getting by because there are just too many of us to support.

I admit that I'm not looking forward to the future of this country as it succumbs to the strong forces that are threatening to dissolve it. Yes, I know that God is in control. Yet I also know that this country has abandoned God. We are being foolish if we think that God won't take his hand away from us. God is a just God. He will, however, make a way for his people. I have to believe that or wallow in despair. He has been with me through this dark tunnel and he will guide me home.
