WHEN A NATION LOSES ITS SOUL

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IDEOLOGY TRUMPS INTELLIGENCE?  YOU GET ASININE STATEMENTS LIKE: "IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE DEFINITION OF 'IS' IS".  OR "WE MUST PASS THE BILL SO WE CAN SEE WHAT'S IN THE BILL". OR "THE VIDEOS ARE THE WORK OF EXTREMISTS"....... I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON BUT MOST GET THE POINT AND SINCE I AM A SENIOR AMERICAN, I MIGHT PASS BEFORE I COULD FINISH THE POST.  WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NATION LOSES ITS SOUL?    RARELY AM I AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AND NEVER AM I SURPRISED AT THE SPINELESS, STUPID, LOW LIFE, BACKSTABBING, MORONIC THINGS THAT OUR POLTICICAL PROSTITUTES WHO MASQUARADE AS STATESMEN AND STATESWOMEN DO.  I MUST SAY THAT THE CURRENT SITUATION INVOLVING THE NAZI STYLED INSTITUTIONALIZED HARVESTING OF UNBORNED BABY PARTS FOR SALE NOT ONLY TAKES AWAY MY WORDS, BUT MY VERY BREATH.  HOW CAN WE AS CIVILIZED GOD FEARING PEOPLE TOLERATE THIS GENICIDE?  WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NATION LOSES ITS SOUL?  THE FOLLOWING QUOTE ANSWERS THIS QUESTION AND IT COMES FROM AN EYE WITNESS WHOSE CHURCH WAS NEXT TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS IN GERMANY
IN THE LATE 1930s:
     'We heard stories of what was happening to the Jews, but we tried to distance ourselves
      from it, because we felt, what could anyone do to stop it?  Each Sunday morning, we would
      hear the train whistle blowing in the distance, then the wheels coming over the tracks.  We
      became disturbed when we heard cries coming from the train as it passed by.  We realized
      that it was carrying Jews like cattle in the cars!  Week after week the whistle would blow.
      We dreaded to hear the sounds of those wheels because we knew that we would hear the
      cries of the Jews en route to a death camp.  Their screams tormented us.  We knew the
      time the train was coming and when we heard the whistle blow we began singing hymns.
      By the time the train came past our church, we were singing at the top of our voices.  If
      we heard the screams, we sang more loudly and soon we heard them no more. 
      Years have passed and no one talks about it now, but I still hear that train whistle
      in my sleep'  (from How Do You Kill 11 Million People by Andy Andrews)


AS A NATION, WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES........ ARE WE SINGING? AND IF SO...
HOW LOUDLY??
