Subversion ruining U.S.

Subversion means to undermine. When applied to the ruinous effects of this administration's policies, near useless Republican Congress, and recent Supreme Court decisions, logically, the federal government is undermining (subverting) this nation.

The media avoids acknowledging the nation’s devastated condition. Borders no longer identify our sovereignty. The administration’s spending habits are already leveled to crush our progeny. Our military is diminished to near Third World strength, and no longer bolsters our reputation in matters of foreign affairs.

The president’s decisions defy common sense on social, religious, penal, educational and foreign matters. Many people continue to be stripped of self-worth and self-reliance with the generational “poisoned candy” of dependence. Foreigners are encouraged, and helped, to violate our immigration laws.

The Supreme Court is undeniably politicized. It lost its purpose in the “Three Power Structure.” As result, it “legislated” an unnatural marriage by inventing a non-existent right; “redacted” the freedom of religion; and rewrote appeals to favor a political persuasion. The court embraces secular intentions and continually violates our Judeo-Christian based founding documents.

The role of the Republican Congress? An inert body that observes and conforms with a “Nero-like” disinterest.

We are eight years into the final phase of a failed experiment in self-governance. As we look on casually, our enemies and allies study with keen interest. Another mindless, “historic” election, could complete our demise.
