That’s a great post right there.

It reminds me of a story about “The Last White Farmer in Zimbabwe”, and how there are still whites remaining in South Zimbabwe, uh.. I mean South Africa. When your house is on fire you might stay and try to put the fire out. But if the house is collapsing, and burning rafters are falling on your head, get out.

Great post...but you can not restore a corpse....

We are a dead body...but filled with parasites that only make us look alive

Can these bones live?

Matthew 24:26-28

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning [Heb: Barack] cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

William of Barsoom, you bring me to tears..I know there are many out there like you who just do not have the ability to express our situation as you do..

Most ignorant voters truly are a product of our government run brain washing factories called "Public Education." However, there are others who have learned that they can secure a free ride through life if they vote for democrats. I know of some of these voters and have watched more than one up close..If they are female they got pregnant in high school (the one I describe was the age of 15 when she started having kids)..She had access to birth control but chose not to use it..She wanted to become pregnant. They live with a parent who takes care of the child while they get pregnant with another and then another..The government supports the girl with all kinds of programs, including a new computer which struggling siblings in college cannot afford. Having babies was a lottery for this girl and if her tax-payer benefits got low, she would just steal from her mother by running up credit card debt on the mother's card, the largest amount was $36,000. The mother, a school teacher, is now taking care of three children. The girl (a drug user herself) has gone through man after man, with only the drug user and pusher hanging around for a time. Finally, she gets a job but is fired for some kind of misbehavior. This is a brief example of many of the ignorant female voters who are key in the drive to destroy America. This kind of person does not care about losing jobs..They just go on government welfare which can bring in more than work..Now, they know they can win elections to continue the plunder of the worker population by voting a democratic ticket. It is disgusting and it will not stand. Those disturbed by what is going on are at least half the country at present, but are made to believe that they have no power..I have read that only a committed 3% can change a nation if they so desire. Surely, there are 3% who will join you in saving this great country. If not, then I guess we deserve to lose. The problem is that people do not realize what they have until it is gone forever.

The useful idiots are always aggressively on the move while denial of what is happening seems to be the mindset of too many good people. Something like 10% of us are relied upon to face our problems and do something about them. 90% always assume that someone else will do the hard stuff, make the sacrifice.

...”What we need is a national religious reawakening. Every minister should be preaching this from the pulpit.”...

Everyone should read the book I am currently reading upon the recommendation of someone who read it and immediately bought copies to give to his family members and friends.
COSTLY GRACE is the book and the author is Jon Walker..It is a comtemporary view of Bonhoeffer’s “The cost of discipleship.” I promise you this book will address all of the concerns posted here today..In this nation, we have practiced “cheap grace” for too long. It is time to understand the “costly grace” we are called to and to begin living like we should, as Christians. The government is not our god....

“I have heard Chile is very nice.”

Agree. It ranked in the top 5 for us.
