Rowina, I agree. Many people talk about how horrible the US is. It is true that there is deceit and treachery up to the highest offices of the government; however, I also believe that there is a SILENT MAJORITY many of whom are righteous, god-fearing people (who need to get off their "jackasses"  in THIS country and vote the communist out of office!) and I also believe that there are many nations out there who are much worse than the US ever thought about being - nations where prostitution is legal and prostitutes advertise their "wares" in store front windows; nations where drugs of all manner have been legalized and where porn is totally legal; nations that are raging against Israel and threatening to destroy her; nations where the godless leaders have their entire population enshrouded in a prison of inability to worship as they please and speak their own mind; nations where leaders have murdered millions of their own citizens to silence them forever, and nations that FORCE WOMEN to have abortions! However, I am not giving the U.S. a free pass, far from it, because to whom much is given, much is required (and many of the aforementioned sins are growing in the U.S.)  I believe our early (or later demise) will rest in large part on the next LEADER who is chosen over this country and how that LEADER treats Israel! God deals with nations on HOW THEY TREAT ISRAEL. This is why I am convinced that another 4 years of B.O. (if the rapture is delayed) we are history! I also believe that if he gets another 4 years, you will be seeing FORCED abortions in this country! Another thing, in God's eyes SIN is SIN. Without the redeeming blood of Jesus, it does not matter what country you are in - you are headed for the lake of fire!
