Why America is Crumbling

A disturbing poll by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reveals that traditional American values and ideas, such as patriotism and religion, are in sharp decline. It’s frightening to consider what the potential long-term effects of this decline may prove to be.

Much of the WSJ poll deals with how Americans view the economic state of our nation, which is not surprisingly negative, and if they believe their children will have a better life, and most also answer no.

But when asked about values, such as patriotism, religion, and even having a family, the numbers have declined drastically, especially among younger generations. And meanwhile, we’re watching violent crime continue to rise on our streets, social unrest, and a greater sense of hopelessness, and unhappiness, certainly among those polled. It’s hard not to see a correlation. And honestly, I can see why there’s a lack of patriotism, whether you’re a liberal or a conservative. The institutions that are supposed to work for us feel like they’re working against us – all of us. Maybe we’re just taking it out on each other.

It’s encouraging that Americans who have lived or have parents who lived under a truly oppressive government system can see how good we have it in this country, but it’s heartbreaking that so many of us whose families have been here for generations have turned so cold.

Today’s full Sekulow broadcast includes more analysis of this WSJ poll and how we can see these results unfolding around us every day through tragedy after tragedy, and we ask what it’s going to take to rescue America’s soul.
