What happened to old glory?

The United States of America's national flag used to mean something. I was even referred to as "OLD GLORY" by the nation, for the great national pride that Americans once had for their country and what it stood for. It was a flag that was the symbol of freedom to the rest of the world, as it marked one of the very few FREE nations left in the world. But that freedom was not cheap. It cost the blood of many a citizen in many different wars who bought and purchased our freedom.

But in the day in which we live today, there is a great apathy toward the American flag, and even American citizens don't love your as much as their forefathers did. Why is this?

The answer is because of the modern world-wide push for "globalism," national pride is giving way to international unity. And because communism, global governance, and socialistic practices are taught to students in our American universities, the U.S. flag has lost it's meaning to so many of the newer generations of Americans. They not only disrespect the flag, but often times they despise it and what it stands for. Why is this?

First, let's look at what the flag stands for. (This will show us what they are actually standing against).

The flag, as you know, has three colors: Red, White, and Blue. These colors signified different things. RED reprenents the blood that was shed for this nation and for the freedoms that the citizens enjoy. WHITE signifes purity, as the U.S. used to pride itself on being a Christian nation, which believed in and practiced the ideals and teachings of the scriptures. BLUE is the color of heaven, and most Americans looked at the United States as a little bit of "heaven on earth," as it was one of the richest and most powerful nations the world has ever seen, and one could work hard and get ahead. They could actually have the freedom to pursue "happiness." In other words they could live their lives as they wished, do what they wanted, and ENJOY the fruits of their labors.

But what happened??? Does old glory really stand for these things today? Do people look at the flag and think that still? Does that banner really stand for what it used to?

Sadly, Americans of today are very disconnected from their national heritage. And because of the utter apostasy of these last days, the wide-spread political corruption, and the rampant degeneration of most of American's morals, old glory does not represent what America used to be.

America is no longer a nation of freedom. It used to be a nation of LIBERTY, bought with the blood of its citizens. But those liberties are quickly eroding away. We no longer live in a nation of pure liberty, rather of much governmental control. And a Washington continues it's policies, we lose more and more liberty.

Take the Health Care Bill for example, in which the gv'ment forces people to buy health care insurance whether they want it or not. How are we free when things are FORCED upon us?

Take the national debt too. At date, the U.S. government is over 15 TRILLION dollars in debt (NOTE: There's not even that much money in the whole world economy!!!) And who does the gv'ment claim owes that money? The American citizen! That means if you divide the debt by every American citizen, each one is liable fo 174,000 dollars plus! How does this make us free? We aren't free. We are born into debt!

It's just ridiculous!

America is no longer a nation of PURITY. It used to be the most moral country in the world. But with the onset of German Rationalism, Modern Scholarship, new age Bibles, evolution, and more, Americans quickly became a nation of unbelievers. They then became a nation of degenerate sinners, who fornicate, masturbate, adulterate, smoke, get drunk, lie, steal, cheat, etc. (And that's just the politicians!) The worst part is they don't even feel bad about it!

America is no longer a piece of HEAVEN on earth. For America has became a devestated nation. Storms, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, and other natural disasters have destroyed many lives. Politician's misuse of American funds have ruined the economy, and jobs are few and far between. Welfare has taken away many people's desire to work, and they have become completely dependent rather than self-sufficient. Crime is more rampant than ever as murder and theft are on the rise.

In short, our country is not the best place in the world to live. It's more like HELL, than heaven.

So, whatever happened to old glory? Well, she still flies on many a government building, school, business, and private dwelling place. But how sad she must be, as what she's supposed to represent has been trampled upon by her citizens and her leaders. How she must cry to see that what her colors boldly shine forth no longer can be found in the land.

Freedom is less and less, purity can scarcely be found, and your own little piece of heaven in this country is getting harder and harder to find.

God Help Us!
