How to tear down a country

If you were making a TV show called “How to tear down a country” how would you do it. Would you start a war? Would you change the government? What is the best way to bring a country to its knees? In Greece it was greed. In Troy it was passive innocence from a Trojan horse. I suppose Hitler crushed his own country with grand illusions of grandeur. It would be exciting television, but in real life would it be that cool?

In Russia, the berlin wall fell in 1989. Ironically that is the same year my kid was born and Taylor Swift. That was a crazy year. Russia never fell and the experts thought they might. In 1945 Germany fell for the second time in that century, yet they are still standing today. I think it must be hard to topple a country. Rome fell, but if you look around us, did they? It’s all about perspective.

I feel that the North American countries are falling. They are imploding from within. Oh, this is not a coupe or a revolution. This is coming in the form of social change. Someone convinced the politicians that changing the way we think is the best way to bring down a country. Why on earth would a leader cut his or her own throat? It’s because greed is powerful and it blinds the best of them with brilliant popularity and power. If you think it’s going to make you great then who cares about the fallout.

Canada and the United States are indeed falling. We are focused on social change while ignoring the looming debt. We are encouraging freedom for a sexual revolution. We are encouraging freedom for foreign ideology. What our fore-fathers stood for is being voted down one thought at a time. Guns were invited to protect the land. Today there is a battle over murder and ideology. Who has the right to assist suicide and pull a trigger. Prostitutes are free but underneath the fabric of feminism and freedom for women is eroding quickly.

What does God have to say about countries? God said in Proverbs 25:28 “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” There are more thoughts on where our hearts look. Throughout the Bible there is a theme on where our hearts look. David looked to Bathsheba and King Saul looked to his own glory. In each of these cases, eventually the kingdom fell from their control. Focus has always brought a country down.

The reason America has the two candidates it has for president these days is because of the focus. Both of them are talking to your heart for guidance. In Canada we are in a terrible place. We want freedom for death, drugs, and sex. I can’t think of the last time a government official talked about the economy or safety of children and women. Those topics are so far removed from the news. There is a thought that if you talk about the peoples desires then the real issues look small. What it really comes down to is that the leaders have no direction or answers. Yet, if they give us our desires then who cares about the tough choices.

I feel that the Trojan horse came in so easily because the people wanted peace so bad that it blinded them. The hard way to live life is not fun. The easy road is always better right? I feel there is a correlation today between respect and our desires. The current population does not respect their parents or fore-fathers. They do not believe with all their hearts that the ways of the past were healthy. Freedom todays means something totally different than it did just 50 years ago. Brick by brick our desires are removing the hindrances of the past. How easy is it to change us these days?

How is it possible to rewrite the National Anthem by a political party within its first year in power? That seems impossible, yet it took mere days to do it. Doctors swore an oath to heal, yet within days they are ordered to help people die. Who talks about the safety of a country anymore, yet thousands of foreign people with foreign ideology are welcomed in our wall less boarders. Our children are encouraged to think sex first. I suspect the Trojan horse is here in the form of our desire to look and feel good. The horse is called politically correct and were about to fall in the middle of the night. You don’t believe me, well that’s what the people of Troy thought too.
