Obama Is Not In Control of America
Vanity | 06/27/12 | Steve F.

Posted on 06/28/2012 3:14:25 PM PDT by stefeb

I just got home from work, and learned of the Supreme Court's ruling. For a moment I was dumbfounded, but was able to gather some scattered thoughts...

The Supreme Court is no longer supreme. There a four liberals on the bench, and four conservatives, and then there's Roberts, who is, well that's anyone's guess. However, today Justice Roberts has upheld a clearly unconstitional law by calling it a tax. Incredible!

Now, the federal government, can force anyone to buy the government's brand of health insurance. Or, stated another way, the government can now penalize, a once free citizen if they opt out of the, rule by fiat healthcare system. Penalize, force, in this case clearly interchangeable words.

I thought this was America, you know, the coutnry where an individual is able create his or her own destiny. America, at least the one I knew as a child, would never force it's citizens to do anything. Period.

Yes, there are laws, but penalizing people who choose to opt out of the nightmare that is Obamacare, is something out of a, "How To Be A Dictator", handbook.

We are still a country of the brave, and I would gladly give my life for my country, but, I fear we are no longer free.

So, what can we do? I know it seems hopeless, and my thoughts may seem over simplistic, but one thing we must remember is that God is in control. He knows it all. He's aware of all the secret meetings, all the laundered money, all the dishonesty of an Attorney General who should be behind bars.

Obama and his crew of malcontents, may fool some of the people, but Obama will never, ever, pull the wool over God's eyes. We are all created by God. He has given us inaleiable rights, and He is the only one that can revoke those rights.

We have spineless RINO's in congress, who are more concerned about their future than America's. The democrats, do not care one bit about the constitution, their focus being on control.

The answer?...Yes, we must vote Obama out of office, and the democrats in the senate and house, but in addition to, and beyond that, we must fall to our knees and pray to the Lord of Lords, the One who created all that is, and the One whose very spirit was imbibed in our founding fathers.

He is our only hope. While we are praying, we must be politically active, and seek His guidance, so that freedom is restored to every American.

I'm not throwing up my hands, I'm falling on my knees. With God, there is always a way, and I believe He will answer the prayers of American's longing to return America to the glorious state He intended it to be.

***Justice Roberts has upheld a clearly unconstitional law by calling it a tax.***

I had a bad feeling when Obama passed off his Obamacare program as a non tax, but then hired thousands of new IRS agents.

The nation of our forefathers deserved God’s Grace. The current USA does not deserve God’s Grace. There is your difference right there. Keep praying. It is all we have left. But don’t be surprised if we find God to decided that this new Sodom USA is not worthy of saving.

Obama rules! Now he will be empowered to cancel the election for some reason and rule by decree. “Emergency Powers” . There is nothing that will stop him now. Pardon all illegal aliens. Grant citizen ship and membership in Democratic Party to all. Next its reparations for slavery, and 100% tax on the “Rich” (anyone who earns $200,000 a year). Free Food is next and free circuses. Can you see I am bitter. BUT, we must press forward! Punish the Democrats and vote the OUT of Power!

God never turns His back. It is we who turn ours.

You make excellent points.

We could also argue that American liberty ended with the Civil War and the coercion of the South in the North’s priorities.

Or even with the Whisky Rebellion put down by George Washington.

I won’t get into a discussion of all that; it’s clear enough that the nation has passed a major landmark in the long and lamentable history of government power grabs.

I’m sure the Founding Fathers are reeling in their graves at the subversion of their noble intentions.

A major landmark indeed.

It’s clear that the biggest threat to the freedom and prosperity of the productive American Citizenry emanates from the Federal Government in Washington DC.

Universal Suffrage must end, and the Capital rotated amongst the States.

There are only THREE conservatives. There there is Souter, er, Roberts, and Kennedy. There are four Liberals.

No one “deserves” God’s Grace, now or in the past, that’s the nature of Grace. I do believe, however, consequences are germane to God’s Divine plan and fear we are in for some serious consequences, which some of us don’t deserve.

John Roberts is gay and he didn’t want to be outed.

"Thoughts: The Revolutionary War was fought because of tax issues. We changed the government. This time we can do it by our vote. Time for all to knock on some doors, donate funds. get the vote out."

The first American Revolution was preceded by The Great Awakening, which unified the nation and gave a common morality. Today there's The Great Blindness, where most men are for themselves, many are ignorant, few have morals, and fewer believe, fear, and worship the living God.

We are living under the curse of Deuteronomy 28:43 "The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low." or as the Amplified Version reads " The transient (stranger) among you shall mount up higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower."

I would like to add this to my earlier post...

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” Samuel Adams, 1776

“The nation of our forefathers deserved God’s Grace.”

The nation of our forefathers RECEIVED God’s Grace. Grace is always unmerited favor.
