Other responses in the Fox survey signal growing unease. Only 39% of Americans are extremely proud of America and growing numbers believe we are not the best country in the world to live in.
It is heartbreaking to see this evidence that Americans are unsure about the value of our country and so many lack confidence in its future. America has created more opportunities and more freedom for more people than any nation in the world. At the same time, we understand the growing anxiety.
The American family is in precipitous decline. Birth rates have plummeted. Newborns are increasingly likely to be raised in homes without fathers. Fewer Americans attend church and read the Bible. Corruption is growing in virtually every area of American life. Drug use, alcoholism, and youth suicide are epidemic. Our educational establishment teaches anti-American history, while our students fall further and further behind in math, reading, and science. The list goes on and on.
America's best days can still be ahead, but only if we stop our mad embrace of moral relativism and embrace the Judeo-Christian teachings that are the foundation of our country. That is what JDFI is committed to accomplishing with your help. Together, with God's blessings, we can make America a "shining city on a hill" again.
