The American Drum

Go East, young man? Californians look for the exit.

I saw this article and it was amazed to see that the TOP TWO (2) progressive states of the country are not so ideal to live in any longer. Very sad (especially considering that one was were I was raised and still considered my home). But. what was the key to their downfalls? How could such prominent states be so unappealing? How could the two (2) states that were considered the arenas of change not appeal to a culture trying to climb out of the arcane ways of doing things?

"years of rising taxes, dead-end schools, unchecked illegal immigration and clogged traffic have robbed the Golden State of its allure"

Interesting.

This is what the majority of American people selected as the vehicle for change.
This will be the drum roll for all the "progressive states" that believed the traditional ways did not work anymore. We've long left behind the mantra of "God, country, and family." We have abandoned the moral principles that made this country a great economic power in the world. Why? Why? Why?
"Idolatry leads to immorality!"

When we idolize things and people, we dethrone God. And when a nation dethrones God, their demise is soon to come. Every great nation's demise can found in their ability to forsake their Creator by worshipping themselves and an ideology that is so self-absorbed, there is no room for God and anything good.

So, should this news be shocking? No, not really. Be prepared, the drummer is not done playing his beat.

  1. I'm sure you have heard of Sodom and Gomorrah(probably spelled incorrectly). I guess the saying "ignore history and it will repeat itself" is not far from wrong.

Attention to those who have nothing to offer other than mindless drill or just want to harass me: DROP DEAD!

To the others whom I have enjoyed over the years, don't waste you breath on those morons. We have better things to do like contributing to society in a positive way.
