Nation Is Headed For A Moral Collapse
by Pete Ketcham
Today as we all focus on the current national political battles, the morals of our nation are plunging at an accelerating rate never before seen. The senseless mass shootings, killing born alive babies, drugs, drug cartels, brutal MS13 Gang slayings, homeless in the streets, the southern border invasion, the perverted LGBT agenda, and on it goes, getting worse by the week.
See What is the “Gay Agenda” in America?
In a previous article/editorial titled Conservatives Should Be Facing Reality, I had concluded that we as conservatives were negligent in the battle to bring our nation back to it’s former Christian bases of morality by our inability to retake control (we had it once) of our education system. Today we continue to lose the war, not only in the education arena, but in all the moral social arenas.
Trump believes he can win the MAGA battle (which should stand for “Make America Good Again”), but the harsh reality is, this nation is headed for a moral collapse that could destroy it despite all his political efforts.
Many conservative politicians (Trump included) think they can bring this nation back to it’s founding principles by improving the economy, strengthening the military, closing the border, improving foreign trade, etc., all of which are good things to do, but none of which will do one thing to stop the destructive moral plunge of this nation.
CONCLUSION
There is presently no individual, group of people, entity, or counter-force that I know of that is able to stop this national plunge to destruction, let alone reverse it.
If we bring God into the equation (which He already is) there is the possibility He could provide a miracle to give us a victory in this national battle to return to our constitutional Christian foundation, just as he did for George Washington in winning the Revolutionary War, but as we all know, what God will do is impossible to predict.
In light of future circumstances, it would seem that we all have no choice but to carry on the “good fight” according to the talent and resources we individually posses, and pray for the miracle we are going to need in order to win this crucial war of good vs evil.

“Nation Is Headed For A Moral Collapse”
The profitable monopoly which ended the federation in 1789, by design, heads for moral collapse, and this is not news.
June 17, 1788
George Mason:
“Mr. Chairman, this is a fatal section, which has created more dangers than any other. The first clause allows the importation of slaves for twenty years. Under the royal government, this evil was looked upon as a great oppression, and many attempts were made to prevent it; but the interest of the African merchants prevented its prohibition. No sooner did the revolution take place, than it was thought of. It was one of the great causes of our separation from Great Britain. Its exclusion has been a principal object of this state, and most of the states in the Union. The augmentation of slaves weakens the states; and such a trade is diabolical in itself, and disgraceful to mankind; yet, by this Constitution, it is continued for twenty years. As much as I value a union of all the states, I would not admit the Southern States into the Union unless they agree to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness, and not strength, to the Union.”
New Constitution Creates A National Government; Will Not Abate Foreign Influence; Dangers Of Civil War And Despotism
Maryland Gazette and Baltimore Advertiser, March 7, 1788
“Whether national government will be productive of internal peace, is too uncertain to admit of decided opinion. I only hazard a conjecture when I say, that our state disputes, in a confederacy, would be disputes of levity and passion, which would subside before injury. The people being free, government having no right to them, but they to government, they would separate and divide as interest or inclination prompted – as they do at this day, and always have done, in Switzerland. In a national government, unless cautiously and fortunately administered, the disputes will be the deep-rooted differences of interest, where part of the empire must be injured by the operation of general law; and then should the sword of government be once drawn (which Heaven avert) I fear it will not be sheathed, until we have waded through that series of desolation, which France, Spain, and the other great kingdoms of the world have suffered, in order to bring so many separate States into uniformity, of government and law; in which event the legislative power can only be entrusted to one man (as it is with them) who can have no local attachments, partial interests, or private views to gratify.
That a national government will prevent the influence or danger of foreign intrigue, or secure us from invasion, is in my judgment directly the reverse of the truth. The only foreign, or at least evil foreign influence, must be obtained through corruption. Where the government is lodged in the body of the people, as in Switzerland, they can never be corrupted; for no prince, or people, can have resources enough to corrupt the majority of a nation; and if they could, the play is not worth the candle. The facility of corruption is increased in proportion as power tends by representation or delegation, to a concentration in the hands of a few. . . .
As to any nation attacking a number of confederated independent republics . . . it is not to be expected, more especially as the wealth of the empire is there universally diffused, and will not be collected into any one overgrown, luxurious and effeminate capital to become a lure to the enterprizing ambitious.”
People sold out each other to a despotic legal fiction, giving up security, safety, freedom, and liberty, for counterfeits. The law of the land was, and still is, the common law. The common law affords everyone their vote of nullification as a matter of demonstrable fact, in each trial by jury processed duly according to the common laws of free people.
The road to moral collapse began in 1789, and that road included (so far) at least one internal war of aggression for the profit of a few at the expense of everyone including the perpetrators. There was nothing civil about the so-called (predictable) Civil War.
Richard Henry Lee (6th President of the United States of America)
October 16, 1787
“It cannot be denied, with truth, that this new Constitution is, in its first principles, highly and dangerously oligarchic; and it is a point agreed, that a government of the few is, of all governments, the worst.”
A Disquisition on Government
John C. Calhoun, (Published Posthumously) 1851
“But the difference in their operation, in this respect, would not end here. Its effects would be as great in a moral, as I have attempted to show they would be in a political point of view. Indeed, public and private morals are so nearly allied, that it would be difficult for it to be otherwise. That which corrupts and debases the community, politically, must also corrupt and debase it morally. The same cause, which, in governments of the numerical majority, gives to party attachments and antipathies such force, as to place party triumph and ascendency above the safety and prosperity of the community, will just as certainly give them sufficient force to overpower all regard for truth, justice, sincerity, and moral obligations of every description. It is, accordingly, found that in the violent strifes between parties for the high and glittering prize of governmental honors and emoluments—falsehood, injustice, fraud, artifice, slander, and breach of faith, are freely resorted to, as legitimate weapons—followed by all their corrupting and debasing influences.”
Followers of the lies that bind people into subsidized slavery are not – as a rule – taught the truth about those lies.
Garrison’s Constitution
The Covenant with Death and How It Was Made
By Paul Finkelman
“The abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison thought the U.S. Constitution was the result of a terrible bargain between freedom and slavery. Calling the Constitution a “covenant with death” and “an agreement with Hell,” he refused to participate in American electoral politics because to do so meant supporting “the pro-slavery, war sanctioning Constitution of the United States.” Instead, under the slogan “No Union with Slaveholders,” the Garrisonians repeatedly argued for a dissolution of the Union.
“Part of Garrison’s opposition to continuing the Union stemmed from a desire to avoid the corruption that came from participating in a government created by the proslavery Constitution. But this position was also at least theoretically pragmatic. The Garrisonians were convinced that the legal protection of slavery in the Constitution made political activity futile, while support for the Constitution merely strengthened the stranglehold slavery had on America. In 1845 Wendell Phillips pointed out that in the years since the adoption of the Constitution, Americans had witnessed “the slaves trebling in numbers—slaveholders monopolizing the offices and dictating the policy of the Government-prostituting the strength and influence of the Nation to the support of slavery here and elsewhere—trampling on the rights of the free States, and making the courts of the country their tools.” Phillips argued that this experience proved “that it is impossible for free and slave States to unite on any terms, without all becoming partners in the guilt and responsible for the sin of slavery.”
