Letter: Wake up to protect civilization

By Joseph Massie, Vancouver
Published: January 26, 2016, 6:00am

Here’s how great nations fall apart and destroy themselves and all from within. They just do it to themselves. Sometimes it takes a couple hundred years, or as the great Roman Empire, it took a couple thousand.

The great British historian Arnold Toynbee explained it all in his book “A Study of History.” He simply states that of the 21 civilizations throughout world history, 19 fell through atheism, alcoholism, drugs, materialism, homosexuality, pornography, liberal socialism, welfare mentality, uncontrolled immigration, promulgation of the “Big Lie” by big government, cheating and stealing and decline in morals. “Remember we threw God out.”

We, as a nation, do have a Constitution; “by the people, for the people and of the people” is not supposed to disappear. But it will, if we don’t fight to keep it.

We have a serious problem of getting lazy and fat, and when you are fat, you cannot fight. It doesn’t look good. Better wake up and die right. It’s later than you think.
