Nation?s welfare once meant more

To the editor:

This is a game of skillful liars at a very high level. They covet the prize set before them. They don?t understand and mostly do not care about all that?s involved. The idea is to win the coveted prize and then see what hardships come with it.

My mind takes me back to when the welfare of the nation meant more than welfare for the nation. When having a moral standard meant the golden rule was in place and was a normal lifestyle. Who today do you think knows the golden rule, where to find it, and what it means? In this fast approaching election, can you see and do you hear the guidance that is needed for this great nation? Everything is in a rapid decline with prices soaring, can mere men get a handle on that without doing what our forefathers did?

It was God that guided the men that guided this nation and it became a great nation. And now God is not welcome in most of our everyday lives, so we do not have his wisdom to guide us. Think about these words and realize that we are not in a win-win situation any longer.
