Unbeknownst to many Americans, there have been forces at work in our country and our culture to destroy the values and traditions of America that many of us grew up enjoying.

Abraham Lincoln warned us in 1838 that internal division was the only true threat to the nation: “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.”

The socialist/communist influence we see rising up in America is more plainly seen now than ever. Everyone should look up and read the Communist goals for America that were introduced to Congress in 1963.

These are but a few of the 45 goals:
Gain control of schools, promote socialism and Communist propaganda.

Infiltrate the press and gain control of policymaking positions.

Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures.

Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, obscenity and present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

Eliminate prayer or any religious expression in schools on the grounds that it violates the “separation of church and state,” which, by the way, is not in the Constitution.

Discredit the family as an institution, encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents.

These are but a few of their goals that have taken hold in our culture.

Children nowadays probably have never heard of these quotes from our Founding Fathers:

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.” -George Washington, first American president

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams, second American president

We are living in perilous times. People need to return to the values that made our country great and our republic last for 250 years.

God have mercy on America!
