The truth is that America has been 'Initiated" to new age beliefs off Hinduism, by its leaders, quiet deceitfully through dark sentences, the last surviving bastion 0f Paganism, ever since falseness came into this world & now allowed to come out in the form of Ancient corruptive beliefs, with new flavors , from the dustbins of Time, a test for Mankind off this false prophet, clearly understood from the wide " Apostasy" taking place . God had kept it for the Final.

Yes, considering what a truly nasty federal government we now have and how I often get the feeling I'm living among a nation of swine, I certainly think of myself as a Christian first before a citizen of this once-great nation. Of course, my faith encourages I think of myself a follower of Christ first and foremost but, barring that, I wish I could feel better about my citizenship. When you hear that idiotic "Love it or leave it" command, I reply that for the last few years I've actually considered the expatriate route. There are several other nations that haven't become the fools we now are, haven't had the economic woes we have (some are doing quite well, really), have a universal healthcare system that works, have much lower infant mortality rates, have much better ratings in public education, don't have 2,3, or 5 wars going at all times, don't shove their ideology down others' throats, & don't play cop to the whole world. I can't blame the Muslims for thinking in a similar manner.
