Is America the greatest nation on the planet?
Before you answer that question, you might want to
check out the statistics that I have shared in this
article first. The reality is that the United States is
in a deep state of decline, and it is getting harder to
deny that fact with each passing day. Mentally,
emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially they
are a train wreck. Many that are “patriotic” attempt
to put a happy face on their growing problems, but
the truly patriotic thing to do is to admit just how
bad things have gotten so that they can start finding
solutions.
If you truly love this country, then you should know
that this nation needs a huge wake up call. they
have abandoned the values and the principles that
early Americans held so dear, and as a result the
society is a giant mess. The following are 55 things
