CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 14, 2024
SOME BOOKS TURNOUT TO BE PROPHETIC, THOUGH THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN INTENDED THAT WAY. THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENED WITH MY FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOOK “AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE: THE FALL OF EMPIRES, SUPERPOWERS AND THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES.”
HARPERCOLLINS/ZONDERVAN HAS JUST RELEASED A SECOND EDITION OF THE BOOK WITH A LENGTHY NEW PREFACE THAT SUMMARIZES SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE SINCE THE PANDEMIC STRUCK. UNDERSTANDABLY NO ONE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE BOOK BECAUSE OF THE CONCENTRATION ON COVID-19.
EVEN IF YOU MANAGED TO GET A COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION, YOU WILL WANT TO GET THE LATEST ONE BECAUSE IT CONFIRMS WHERE WE ARE HEADED IF THERE IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE TURNAROUND.
HISTORY CAN’T BE CHANGED BUT THE LESSONS WE LEARN FROM IT CAN AFFECT OUR FUTURE, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE LEARN FROM HISTORY.
DEBT, UNCONTROLLED IMMIGRATION AND THE LOSS OF A SHARED MORAL VALUE SYSTEM IN THIS POST MODERN WORLD WHERE EVERYONE IS HIS OR HER OWN GOD AND DECIDES RIGHT AND WRONG FOR THEMSELVES LEADS TO COLLAPSE.
YOU WILL WANT TO READ AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE BECAUSE WE CAN’T ESCAPE THE JUDGMENT OF HISTORY IF WE REFUSE TO LEARN FROM IT. THE NEW EDITION IS AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON. I’M CAL THOMAS.
