Tribune guest column lamented that U.S. "has probably more homosexuals among its leadership than any other nation"

In an April 24 online commentary decrying "the state of our nation," frequent Greeley Tribune guest columnist R.P. Adamson claimed that "the United States has probably (sic) more homosexuals among its leadership than any other nation." After posing the question of whether there are "any positives in the state of our nation," Adamson cited as one "the growth in Evangelical/Pentecostal congregations and the corollary interest in a literal six-day supernatural creation." Adamson -- whom the Tribune identified as a Greeley native who "is in the drywall business" -- also asserted, "The United States' once lofty scientific establishment has degenerated into a deceitful and greedy political abomination."

As Colorado Media Matters has noted, in previous Tribune guest columns Adamson has compared liberalism to Nazism and warned that "our traitorous, conspiratorial leadership has succeeded in furthering its ultimate objective of world government."

From R.P. Adamson's guest column "State of our nation? Bad, and getting worse," published online April 24 by the Greeley Tribune:

Let's consider the state of our nation: The United States now holds the world record for the number of people incarcerated. It is the world's most indebted nation. It is among the world's most illiterate nations. The United States might well be the only nation that refuses to secure its borders.

As a population, and in cruel irony to the tens of billions of dollars annually spent, the United States is one of the poorest educated among the world's nations. The leadership in the United States is so corrupt that it is without peer. Lady Justice took a holiday from these parts a few decades ago and hasn't been seen or heard from since. All levels of government have long since become a kind of cancer that has annihilated the basic economic, moral and political fabric of a once healthy republic.

U.S. institutions, once the best in the world, have become so corrupt that they are now madhouses -- very dangerous madhouses. The typical U.S. citizen is for all intents a kind of brain-dead zombie. Intelligent, well-informed discussion in these United States is no longer practiced. It has been replaced with banal, meaningless rhetoric. The United States' once lofty scientific establishment has degenerated into a deceitful and greedy political abomination.

The United States most likely leads the world in the number of annual abortions. Although it is impossible to know for certain, the United States has probably more homosexuals among its leadership than any other nation. Our nation's deeply flawed and stressed financial system is undergoing a magnitude-9 earthquake. And as a role model? Well, any nation with a modicum of common sense should never, ever consider emulating a nation that has abandoned its Christian foundation of life, decency and peace for warmongering, empire-building, death and destruction.

I'm accused of being a negative sort, full of doom and gloom. OK, are there any positives in the state of our nation? Yes, there are a few: home schooling for one; the growth in Evangelical/Pentecostal congregations and the corollary interest in a literal six-day supernatural creation for another; the slow but steady increase in the number of U.S. citizens who understand the "big picture"; the revival, if you will, of citizen interest in the U.S. Constitution; the growing awareness that there is "something" terribly wrong with not only all levels of U.S. government and leadership, but the overall path this nation is sliding down.
