The America We Knew Does Not Exist

The decision of the Supreme Court this week gave us a shock and dismay almost beyond the ability to express it.

My husband is a former state representative, he and I worked 20 years in our fight against abortion and the proliferation of pornography. We cared deeply about our country while doing what we could to thwart the tide of filth, murder and immorality, in the hopes that those in the seats of power would come to their senses or be replaced by those who understood the value of these things.


We flew the American flag on our house for years in support of a country that afforded us the freedoms we have and provided jobs along with every other blessing that we had. We were grateful to God for our blessing of living in America, even with all the warts and flaws we thought we could somehow make a difference.

As my husband and I were out for a drive this afternoon, he boldly stated to me that he would never fly the American flag again unless he flew it upside down. An upside down American flag is an expression of a country in distress. The upside down flag is not used very often but when it is a ship is sinking or a war has broken out, the flag has been place upside down as a warning and to express grief.

We no longer have a flag, but if we did we would fly it upside down, our country is in deep distress as if it has been taken over by a dictatorial regime. As one communist leader once said "we will take down America without firing a shot."

I wonder now, do the American people have any idea that we are no longer America, with a government that rules over the people, instead of the people ruling over the nation?

We are living in a time of dire distress, it is time for believers to pray for souls to become born again before Christ returns.
