‘Every single year, Americans take the day off
on July 4th and they celebrate everything that is good about America.
We tend to be very proud of our achievements and we generally are not shy about
talking about them. For example, today CNN is running a piece entitled
"100 great things about
America". And you know what? There are a lot of great
things about this country. I am not afraid to say that I love America.
In many ways it has been a great light for the rest of the world since it was
founded. However, things have changed. The United States
has greatly fallen from where it once was. The truth is that America is
rotting and decaying in thousands of different ways. We need to repent
and go back to doing the things that once made this country great. The
road that we are currently on is a path that leads to national suicide.
So to be honest now is not really the time for happy celebrations.
Rather, now is the time for weeping, mourning and deep reflection. We
need to turn from our profligate ways and we need to return to the fundamental
principles that the early Americans understood so well. As a nation we
need to look into the mirror and understand just how bad our decline has
been. We are a complete and total mess, and it is time to admit that.
The
following are 70 reasons to mourn for America....
1. Most
Americans know much more about Kim Kardashian than

ashes of someone's dead grandfather and then spilled his ashes all over the

West sneakers, but most of those same young people cannot even tell you how

serious economic, political and moral problems facing this nation.
5. A recent
survey found that 61 percent of all Americans believe that
