The American Dream Has Ended.
I found the substance of this article worth reading and I am sharing it to everyone who is interested to read and perhaps give an opinion about it.Note: I am not here to offend anyone, we all believe in something, with or without religion. This is not a favored write because of the religious affiliation of the speaker, rather, I find the truth to be powerful relative to the events happening specially in the USA today. A friend of mine sent it to me and I thought it is a very timely article to ponder on.

FRANKLIN GRAHAM’S STATEMENT AT 1ST BAPTIST CHURCH JACKSONVILLE
Time is like a river Get your head out of the sand
Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the
flow that has passed will never pass again.
Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville,
Florida a few weeks back when he said America will not come back. He wrote:
The American Dream ended (on November 6th, 2012 ) in Ohio . The second
term of Barack Obama will be the final nail in the coffin for the legacy
of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled
and developed the greatest Republic in the history of mankind.
A coalition of Blacks, Latinos, Feminists, Gays , Government Workers,
Union Members, Environmental Extremists, The Media, Hollywood ,
uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically unemployed,
illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers" have ended Norman Rockwell 's
America . The Cocker Spaniel is off the front porch... The Pit Bull is in
the back yard. The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul
Alinsky 's "Rules for Radicals" and Chicago shyster, David Axelrod , along
with international Socialist George Soros will be pulling the strings on
their beige puppet to bring us Act 2 of the New World Order.
Our side ran two candidates who couldn't even win their own home states,
and Chris Christie helped Obama over the top with a glowing "post Sandy "
tribute that elevated the "Commander-in-Chief" to Mother Teresa status.
(Aside: with the way the polls were run, he didn't need any help!) People
like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will never again
comment on or concern myself with the afore mentioned coalition which has
surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot
being fired.
You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts
of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the
rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take Zealots, not
moderates & shy not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and
restore our beloved country to its former status.
Those who come after us will have to risk their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has
timidly frittered away

And excuse my dumbness in your subject but I would kindly like to interject a Question if okay this sounds like a baby of crazy people who wrote that letter the world as we know it is changing people are dieing in the ocean just to flee from there home country's and kids dead bodies are being washed up upon shores the world is changing in a biblelic way this is my opinion it might not match what's written but I ain't got Brian's like you kitten
So white Christian males are losing their strong hold in society?...OMG...lol...too funny...women know your limits...and anyone else who is not white and male...lol...
According to the info in the link below the information is
Incorrectly Attributed.
Perhaps!
But would I be right in my assumption that for many it never even started,
and if so are they themselves solely to blame,
Given that the premiss for the dream is to get to the top while using others
I think there is a lot of truth in this blog! I have seen many, many changes in our country! Some good....some bad! I think our current president, Obama, is by far the worse president we have had! Will be glad to see him leave office! Maybe then, things will change for the better! JMHO
By the way, SNOPES isn't the most reliable source for checking out information! I have found truthorfiction.com to be much more reliable!
"Summary of eRumor:
A viral email claims that Franklin Graham spoke at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, and said that America will not come back.
The Truth:
This one is true.
Franklin Graham, the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, delivered the remarks at the Jacksonville Pastors’ Conference in January of 2015:
“America has changed, and it’s not coming back unless the church takes a stand. There are storms that are coming. We find ourselves in these storms, and many times we as church run, and we run to the wrong place. You see, Jesus is in the boat. All we have to do is call him. Call his name. But the secularist and the humanists, you mention the name of Christ, and they jump all over you.”
Also included in the forwarded email is an essay that went viral shortly after President Obama was re-elected in 2012. Both the essay and Franklin Graham’s speech talk generally about secularism, but they are otherwise unrelated.
The essay said that the re-election was the “final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males” that settled the country.
The essay doesn’t list an author, but most versions say that an unnamed Marine veteran wrote it. We can’t verify that claim at this time."
There is an important distinction to note here:
Franklin Graham is only responsible for the quoted remarks attributed to him which are stated above.
His reference to America has changed and is not coming back also states a condition for it to come back, i.e., unless the church takes a stand.

This is very misleading and dishonest.
Rolf
the man in the video?....is he the AntiChrist???
Reminds me of a certain politician...make America great again nonsense...

For me, change is inevitable. Nothing remains the same. Good and bad will always fight head on against each other until of course as promise there is no more bad.
In the meantime we have choices. We have our inherent values to protect. Bottom line, those who use harm to survive at our expense is wrong. There is room for all of us, we must not injure, harm and or kill anyone for whatever reason.
Thank you.
