How does a nation fall?

How does a nation fall?  Occasionally, it falls from enemies without, who blatantly attack and overpower the weaker nation.  So how does a nation, that has demonstrated its military superiority to every foe heretofore gathered against it, fall?  It falls from enemies within.

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."  How many "good men" have sat idly by for decades now while the enemies of our Judeo-Christian heritage have slowly and insidiously infiltrated all levels of our society, lulling many to sleep with cleverly constructed catch-phrases like "hope and change?" 

Too often we forget that the most deadly evil is that which is least obvious. Satan masquerades as an angel of light, not as someone in a bad Halloween costume with red tights, horns, tail and a pitchfork.  But why?  Because the evil that is obvious is more easily avoided and guarded against. 

Satan is a fool, but that does not mean that he is without strategy.  He will not hit us where we are strongest; he will slip in at the weakest point of our defenses, lull us to sleep, and then stab us in the back.  Americans are, by and large, a compassionate people.  This is a source of strength, when coupled with biblical truth and values. 

But compassion without a compass is deadly.

When we allow the heartstrings of our compassion to be played by a vernacular virtuoso, we lose sight of the truth that gave birth to our compassion in the first place.  Driven by emotions, we make irrational decisions.  Because emotions, by their very nature, are not rational.  There is nothing wrong with emotions, per se.  They are great companions on the road trip of our lives.  But when emotions overpower the brain and take control of the bus, bad things happen, because emotions only exist in the "Now;" they do not plan for the future.

There are many in this Administration who are very calculated in their efforts to play the heartstrings of our citizens, to keep them so focused on the "Now," that they pay no attention to the coming bondage into which they are selling themselves. 

It is the duty and calling of all who love Truth to stand as watchmen on the walls and sound the alarm long and loud, in hopes of waking our citizens up before the takeover is complete.
