Like many viral emails, I opened this message with great curiosity: what could be said about America in 2014?

Here is the cursory list, shameful and heartbreaking. And we can indeed chalk this up to Progressives (the name chosen by early 20th century Communists in America as a “more palatable” moniker).

The “state” has rushed in, à la Johnson’s (not so) Great Society, and ruthlessly replaced families, private charities and local churches as society’s safety net. The results are abysmal, and America’s soul and culture has been diminished.

Here then, is the sad State of the Union in 2014. (note, not ALL of the changes are for the worse…see #1, #2 and #4)

1. Our phones – Wireless

Trending: Howard Stern PROVES He’s a Brain-Dead Moron

2. Cooking – Fireless

3. Food – Fatless

4. Tires – Tubeless

5. Youth – Jobless

6. Leaders – Shameless

7. Relationships – Meaningless

8. Attitudes – Careless

9. Babies – Fatherless

Or even worse…

10. Babies – Lifeless

11. Feelings – Heartless

12. Education – Valueless

13. Children – Mannerless

14. Country – Godless

May God help America, nothing short of a national renewal or revival may cure what ails this nation.
