Thank you, Joanie...I responded at the site and am pinging this to my list.
Your article is right on the money...thank you for sharing. God help us, as a people, to re-enthrone the fundamental moral principles that are the foundation and bedrock for this Republic. All else will hinge ultimately on the larger majority of us doing just that and voting accordingly.
I have shared it on Face Book as well.
As always, God’s speed to you and yours.
AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY
http://www.jeffhead.com/crossroads.htm
We who read GOD's Word are shown time and time again what happens in nations where morality is abandoned. When the nations seek GOD wise leaders are given. Wise doesn't mean perfect but the nation heals and prospers. I would rather trust a man to lead this nation who is willing to face these issues and bring them out in the open than one who for political reasons pretends they simply don't matter.
Until hearts change and our nation founded on GOD's Laws and Biblical Principle repents there will be no healing. In the news our nation is headed to the moral decline of Sodom and Gomorrah. GOD has judged nations for less wrongs than what our nation is embracing today.
We've had righteous leaders offered too us many elections even in the post Reagan years who were sounding this alarm and rejected them. Time after time political expedience has came before right and wrong before GOD. The results of which we live under today. GOD judges all nations and our nation as a whole has forgotten that fact. I'm old enough to remember as a kid when we had men in a space capsule bound for the moon and an onboard explosion damaged the capsule. Experts didn't really know if the men on board would make it back home due too issues like having enough oxygen. That is about the last time I can actually remember the nation as a whole praying and the media not mocking it nor ones in the street protesting prayer. That may have happened but I don't remember them getting any coverage if they did. A miracle happened no doubt.
The 9/11 attacks should have been a wake up call too the fact certain enemies want both Jews and Christians dead and were allowed too attack our nation. Instead of national prayer and calling to repent we get told they are a religion of peace? Instead of call for repentance we are given a call for more tolerance toward evil? They are a people GOD is using to judge us. Wake up USA before it's too late. Return to GOD, repent, as GOD is faithful & merciful to forgive. He will heal our nation. There is no other solution too this. None.
We've reached the point in this country where the rule of law is often just a matter of convenience among much of our 'leadership'. The Constitution, and the laws that are founded on it, are often obeyed, or not, depending on the agenda that disobeying them would serve.
Not only is this administration making an art form out of end-running the Constitution, and not only is congress passing all kinds of laws that don't pass constitutional muster, but our 'leadership' in D.C. is condoning – even encouraging -- lawbreaking by the average American, if it suits their purposes.
A glaring example of what happens virtually every day in decisions made by this administration and its agencies is Eric Holder’s dropping of the charges made against the Black Panthers for the gross voter intimidation they committed in Philly back in '08.
How many of our leftist 'leaders', the president included, have spoken out in favor of Occupy as a patriotic group that is simply exercising its first amendment rights -- knowing full well that the list of crimes, including rapes, assaults, looting, and desecration, committed by some of this group's members is an abomination afflicting, at one time or another, virtually every city in the country?
The left's stranglehold on the decision-making process, the mainstream media, the education system, and the minds of the many uninformed among us, is something they will not give up without a fight, and the safety and security of the country as a whole be damned.
If we believe the election of a republican ticket in November will go a long way toward heralding a new era of constitutional government, we need to consider the fact that many on the left will be supporting , both overtly and covertly, any means to undermine that government, even before it assumes office in January of 2013. Franklin’s warning that we have 'a republic, if we can keep it' will be sorely tested in November. I believe we will lose our republic for good if Obama is re-elected. And, if he is not, the outrage that will ensue from the left will be unprecedented, and the results of, and responses to, that outrage will define nothing less than whether or not America will survive as a representative republic.
May God continue to bless you and yours during these troubling times ...

There was a time, even 20 years ago, I naively believed our inspired Constitution would protect us. HAR! It's just a piece of paper that can do NOTHING on its own. Without caretakers and defenders it's intricate and, dare I say, fragile foundation can and will be crushed by the incessant, perennial evil that resides in our midst. Problem is, evil doesn't stroll the Amecican landscape with a big sign announcing itself. As always, the work of satan and his minions is cloaked in insidiously titillating language and seemingly altruistic deeds.
Oh well, I believe there is little to gain by preaching to the choir. For America to rise from the abyss, freedom loving Americans will have to actually DO something. I submit TEA Partiers made a huge difference in our last election cycle but can we maintain the foucs and sustain the energy necessary to make a difference over the long haul? Is the sentiment still alive and quietly growing? AND, will it be enough? We'll see. I pray that still waters run deep.
God's best to all...
