Saving America (Evolution)

This book provides an important look at the well-being of the United States of America. It is broken into five parts: a brief history of the frameworks and foundations of our constitutional republic, an analysis of the major changes that occurred in the last fifty years, a look at where the United States of America is now, recommendations for saving America, and a look at what awaits us in the future of our nation.
So, what is an accurate picture of America today? In the history of the world, only two nations have been founded entirely upon a monotheistic religion: Israel and the USA. In examining the history of both nations, many parallels are evident; both were settled by those freed from a land of slavery and oppression, both were founded on a set of ideals based upon the rule of law rather than the rule of men (or kings), and both were greatly blessed and soon grew incredibly prosperous.
However, after achieving prosperity, both nations became deeply divided between the pagans (or seculars) and those who held to the faith and principles of their founders, especially in the USA. After becoming divided, America lost its place of prominence and is now mocked and ridiculed from within and by all her neighbors.
Why must we fight? Why must we win, beyond the need to maintain the trust delivered to us? We have no place left to go.
In past times, there were places in the wilderness to flee to. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Remember those words inscribed on our Statue of Liberty? We came here for many reasons, among which were the many forms of freedom: freedom to work for yourself and your family, not the government; freedom of religion; freedom of expression; freedom from want; etc. Now, there is no undiscovered place on Earth left to go.
We as a nation are being pushed toward one of three ultimate endgames: the imposition of a socialist nation, a conservative reversal of the nation at the ballot box, or another civil war.
Per the 2024 election, our nation has been given a chance to reverse the socialist movement by electing a conservative populist president with a mandate in Congress. The challenge comes from the fact that socialism has had one hundred years to establish itself in our nation. How much can be done in four or eight years to reverse this movement? My fear is that the Trump presidency is being set up by the globalists to usher in a long-overdue economic meltdown that the liberals can then blame on Trump and the Republican Party. The Democrats would then be able to pursue the socialist goal again. The fight to regain our constitutional republic will be difficult, but hope springs eternal.
There is also a fourth endgame that could come into play if the socialists maintain control of our country. Liberal socialists, per multiculturalism, open borders, and basic naivety are enabling the Islamification of our country. Europe is lost, but our nation is still savable.
"There is a dark cloud looming on the horizon of America. I do not pretend to be able to see beyond the looming dark cloud. I do know that a field of battle is before us. Our young people may not want to die on fields drenched red with blood, but they must battle in the classroom, in the lecture halls, at the ballot box, on Wall Street, in mass media, in the newsrooms, in the hospitals, and in the churches. They must battle at home and abroad and we must help them. We must battle not just for the finances of this nation, but for its soul.
What shall be our future? We are coming, potentially, to a crossroad in our nation’s history: either socialism, capitalism, or civil war. It may be that we shall end our forefathers’ experiment of a constitutional democracy based on a strong religious foundation.
Only time and the American people can tell.
