Star Parker on Andrew Breitbart and the Collapse of America

I love to read Star Parker's insightful columns about what's happening in the U.S. Her column about Andrew Breitbart expands to examine the impact of the breakdown of moral values in the U.S. and the collapse of the country. And then she explains why the left hates Breitbart so much:

The left hates Breitbart for his effectiveness in getting out the truth.

Well, the truth is that moral collapse precedes economic collapse, and anyone with eyes can see that we are on the brink of economic collapse. In view of the unsettled world situation, the collapse of the economy in other countries and unstable governments like Iran on the brink of nuclear capability, I think we are also facing the likelihood of a third world war. I was discussing this yesterday with my brother, a college science professor. Things look pretty grim as the video below discusses.

Having said all that, the answer is not terror, but prayer. Padre Pio put it well, "Pray, hope, and don't worry." The Church Militant has the best "weapons" - the Eucharist, Confession, the rosary, other prayers and devotions, and a commitment to evangelize with the truth.

So pray, hope, don't worry, use the sacraments, and spread the truth.

The Train Wreck is Coming

If we don't control our national debt, get ready to take the imminent crash position.

What the Debt Limit Battle Is All About

"The Obama Democrats have raised [federal spending] to 24 or 25 percent [of the gross domestic product]. And the president's budget projects that that percentage will stay the same or increase far into the future.

"In the process, the national debt as a percentage of gross domestic product has increased from a manageable 40 percent in 2008 to 62 percent this year and an estimated 72 percent in 2012. And it's headed to the 90 percent level that economists Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart have identified as the danger point, when governments face fiscal collapse."
