Country is in a bad predicament

The following are some things I hate to see happening in our country:

I hate seeing the power of the Constitution being eroded by Supreme Court decisions and by executive order.

I hate seeing our republic traded for a democracy and the loss of individual freedoms that go with it.

I hate seeing our youth as well as older generations ignorant of the Biblical principles that are the foundation of our country.

I hate seeing these foundations destroyed by removing the Bible and Ten Commandments from our schools, and from our public buildings.

I hate seeing our country sold out to unregenerate men who talk peace and hold office in that satanic-dominated organization called the United Nations. Their history shows who is in charge.

I hate seeing our military serve under UN control.

I hate seeing our economy eroded with fiat money backed only by the printing press.

I hate seeing American jobs leaving the country because of extreme environmental laws.

I hate paying the price (passed on to consumer) of tort laws. Lawsuits are a blight on America.

I hate seeing a private corporation (the Federal Reserve), who creates debt with the stroke of a pen, control my nation and enslave my grandchildren.

I hate seeing the abusive IRS collecting funds for that same private corporation.

I hate seeing our military depleted. Why was Star Wars scrapped? It appears America is being offered to our enemies just as our fleet was offered at Pearl Harbor.

I hate seeing the killing field of America, called abortion. The most dangerous place in America is in the womb.

Finally, I hate myself for not doing more to stop the destruction of my country.

Will you please do better?
