Is America being chastised by God?

I am probably more opinionated than Bill O’Reilly; I guess that means I am a crotchety old fuddy duddy; or I may have something worth while to say. So then here goes:
America was a new nation; conceived in liberty and dedicated; to the
Proposition that most people were created equal; until the nineteen sixties; when we started realizing that others were also equal recipients of Salvation which Jesus Christ gave us; if we would only take it cause it is free; when Americans started understanding who the people were; that helped free the others; whether white, black, yellow, or red etc.
During our war ‘tween the states people died to set others free. Not many think of that in this gimme “everything time”.
I was too young but I remember reading the old history books (which taught true history) in the early nineteen forty’s and fifties (which today’s teachers are trying to indoctrinate today’s children with) “that socialist” stuff that is all lies; which is why today, American History (as a subject) is being forgotten and young people have no idea about reality.
Let’s take a walk down the “American History” lane.
Our nation (see the movie FIRST LANDING” at your local library on DVD and at "THE WALLBUILDERS.ORG) was first “claimed” by the Preacher at Jamestown in Virginia as the first “British settlers”; these men claimed it for Jesus Christ; before it was fought over by the Patriots and British in the third quarter of the sixteenth century; (on that basis) on the Rock of Jesus Christ I make the claim that we are a Christian nation.
We had a war with the British over this North American Continent and slavery was not being practiced. Slavery was introduced by the Muslims centuries before this (click on Muslims in History) and the slaves were white as well as other colors (so it didn’t start in America) it started in what we call the Middle East; as a colony of “the crown”, which we were until we decided to revolt, using taxes as our reason for revolution in the seventeen seventies; we created an army.
I think that is when George Washington came into the picture.
His Mother had been praying George would not get involved at that time; she followed him right up to his joining, then she begged him not to go; he relented as a good son would because of her praying for him. She said God had something else for him (mothers have that “sixth sense” :) There were so many coincidences involved with America; it is …uncanny.
Then we had that “war between the states” when hundreds of thousands of our people were slaughtered because God hates slavery; I think Pres Lincoln stated that as the reason for that war. (Then somewhere along the way) Americans were became influenced by people of wealth, like the Hearst’s and the “Maine”; (remember the Maine) that was another war.
Then we were involved in a “just” war; as WWI started.
Again; had another war a war “to end all wars” as America saved the world from tyranny and dictatorship.
We then rebuilt Europe, and as much of the west as communism would allow (Macarthur was correct) while millions were persecuted and murdered by that communism; there and in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and everywhere else..

Then America was listening to outside influences; the United Nations; where others were making our choices instead of listening to God like our founders told us to.
We became involved in North Korea, where the UN told America what to do; and we still may have some POW’s there; then the French handed us Viet Nam; more possible POW’s.
As the song says; “When will we ever learn”?
May God bring us back to Himself; and shape us back into the people we once were; the people who love Him; may God watch over America and each of our Military personnel on the day we revere in remembrance.

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
THEN
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

It reads like a chick publishing bit.

I don't dig Moslems that don't let their hotties wear thong bikinis, and I am a fan of women without birkas . .. not because I love saggy fat rolls or evidence of life after bearing children. . . it is because they are people. Their skin should get some sun!

We as a nation were mostly a morally good nation, but we are becoming that Deuteronomy type... we are morally almost bankrupt; we call on God to bless us; yet why should He?
What have we as a nation done to deserve that blessing?
We were the greatest nation on earth; now we're covered in false flags and conspiracies and corruption.
We have little love for our neighbor, we look out for ourselves only.
We have that "who cares" attitude; and few care.

JI was there in 1946 when I started school in kindergarten.
I was learning instead of being indoctrinated; like the youth of today.

Don't kid yourself. I started kindergarten 10 years later. We were both in school during the Cold War/"Commie Peril" years. And the history we both studied was highly sanitized and slanted towards a particular viewpoint.

Uh huh. Sure. The grass is greener on the other side of your childhood. Of course it was.

Given how conspiracy-laden this idea is, it's not only less green on your own side but it's also recording your telephone conversations and having it off with your wife.

Just me, see says it didn't happen that way; but he fails to show how he/she thinks it did.

And the year before you started kindergarten, we incinerated 200,000 civilians in Japan.

Not exactly sure what makes you think we were ever a "morally good" nation.

We as a nation were mostly a morally good nation,

Back before the bad days of civil rights?

but we are becoming that Deuteronomy type... we are morally almost bankrupt;

You are? From what I can tell there has never been so much liberty, equality, peace, prosperity and health as now all at one time.

What is it you object to? Can you answer that without reference to naughty sex and non-Christians?

we call on God to bless us; yet why should He?
What have we as a nation done to deserve that blessing?

I thought the point of Christianity was that blessing is unearned, and out of the grace of God? ;)

We were the greatest nation on earth; now we're covered in false flags and conspiracies and corruption.

The greatest in what sense?

We have little love for our neighbor, we look out for ourselves only.
We have that "who cares" attitude; and few care.

Greed is good, haven't you heard. :thumbsup:

Indoctrinated in what way?
