This excellent article gets to the core of the problems in the United States. The problems are a result of departure of America from their Creator. We cannot expect America to be blessed if we deserve a curse. The leadership that is running and ruining America today is just the results of the fact that most Americans have departure from the things of God. Unless America returns to God worse things certainly lie in our future.<\/p>\n

America Is Going Through A Revolution<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The United States of America has never known a time of discord, turbulence, upheaval and distrust as it is experiencing in the year 2009. The federal elections of November 2008 occurred in the midst of an impending economic disaster, brought into the office of the president a relatively unknown man and seemingly empowered a revolutionary movement that is bent upon using the economic turmoil to redefine and reshape the national government and culture. Members of the new administration forewarned the nation of the revolutionary changes: Americans, said President Obama, should “discover great opportunity in the midst of great crisis.” Rahm Emanuel, President Obama’s chief of staff stated: “Never allow a crisis to go to waste,”. The new secretary of state, Hillary Clinton concurred: “Never waste a good crisis.” Finally, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said: “Capitalism will be different.” The shock waves from the changes generated in the first two months of the new presidency, and the anticipated trauma of more to come, has created schisms within the culture that are finding new alliances and destroying many investment and retirement programs by a stock market that does not like such uncertainty. Over the past century, the United States has had a relatively slow reshaping of the government and its processes from that which was conceived in the eighteenth century. However, the new regime has seemingly cast aside all concerns about contending with the creeping modification of the traditional role of the federal government as they are proceeding to radically bring into being their vision of what many believe to be a form of socialism, much like European models, if not Communism.<\/p>\n

While one can write volumes about the founding fathers, their goals for the new nation, the meaning of the Constitution and existing law, it is all irrelevant. Those currently in power are determined to exercise their long-awaited opportunity to bring about a governmental transformation that will forever change the traditional balance of power between the federal, state, local and individual governments. At the same time, these changes will totally alter the balance of freedom within the nation.<\/p>\n

Freedom can neither be destroyed nor created, but it can be shifted as to whether it is individually or centrally controlled. The historical model for freedom in the United States has been that the individuals maintained a dominant control of the freedom over their lives and the various governmental units a minimal control. What is frightening most people today is that the balance will be drastically torn away from the individual and bestowed upon the federal government. The crux of the issue at hand is the model to be used for governing the United States and what impact that will have upon the citizens.<\/p>\n
