America
We
live in an America
today where many people are ignorant, uneducated, and confused. As we have seen
in history, prosperity often leads to pride. This is where America
is now, or perhaps it is already on the downfall. America
is over fifteen trillion dollars in debt.[i] We have
political leaders who, for the most part, desire to destroy the principles that
our forefathers fought for[ii].
The American family is falling apart. Immorality[iii],
violence, pornography, vulgarity, and plain wickedness are not only accepted in
society, but promoted everywhere you look. The principles of the Constitution
have been forgotten. Our ancestors gave everything they had for America ,
and everything they did and fought for has been forgotten. Will their deeds go
to waste? Or have they already?

What would the founders, such as
George Washington, say if they saw
America today?

Throughout
American history, we have witnessed many stages of time when America
seemed doomed to destruction. America
had no business going to war against the most powerful military force in the
world, not to mention beating them, but they did. There was no reason for the United
States to stay united during the Civil War,
but it did. How did America
do it? For some reason, in every circumstance of despair that America
went through, heroes stepped up and turned it in the right direction. Heroes
like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and countless
others appeared at the right time to do what needed to be done in order for
this nation to survive. In today’s “American Crisis”, virtuous, strong heroes
are needed more than ever to keep this nation going.
After
America
miraculously became independent from Great
Britain , this nation was falling apart. The
regulations that were established in America
were weak[iv],
the nation was struggling financially, and many of the colonists still wanted a
king. In the midst of all this turmoil, heroes arose. They came together to Philadelphia ,
Pennsylvania United States of America .
One of the most difficult things that have ever been done in world history was
creating the supreme law of the land for this nation, but it was accomplished. The
principles in that document are the key to America ’s
success, and today, America
does not know or care. The principles are already laid down. All we have to do
is follow them.
How
are we supposed to fill this seemingly bottomless hole that we dug ourselves
into? There is only one way to fill this hole: speck of dirt by speck of dirt.
We need to start with ourselves. Learn for yourself the principles of the
Constitution of the United States
so that you can be in a position to teach others. Move to your families. Teach
them all you can. Have faith in God, and teach morality and cleanliness. A
government system that is as perfect as ours cannot be operated by an immoral
and wicked people. Educate as many people as you can. Teach your community
these principles. Do the best that you can do. If you can get at least one
person to change, that makes all the difference in the world.
So
the question is: when will America
end? That is for us to decide. Hopefully, America
will live on and never end, but only our choices can affect what happens. If America
did end, it would end because of us neglecting the principles that our
forefathers fought for. You decide: will America
die? Will America
end? Or will America
live on?
“America
will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”—Abraham Lincoln
