5 Things To Remember Before You Say, 'Screw It, I'm Done With America'
Townhall.com ^ | July 20, 2014 | Doug Giles

Posted on 07/20/2014 5:43:36 AM PDT by Kaslin

Have you ever looked at all the schlock we’re currently mired in thanks to BHO’s “fundamental transformation” of America and thought, or actually said, “Screw it. I’m done. I officially don’t give a crap anymore.” I have. And I prize myself as being somewhat of a scrappy-faith-filled dude. I hate to admit it, but sometimes I get sick and tired of being sick and tired.

As a 51-year-old, I remember the good old days when we had at least quasi-legit leaders who gave a nominal flip about the continuation and betterment of this grand experiment called America. I recall how their affinity for our sacred principles afforded us a pretty good life, in relative peace, where we could pursue happiness while being left the heck alone. But now, with our current crapmeisters at the helm … eh, not so much as each side of the aisle seems pretty determined to destroy us, to the lining of their own pockets and power.

After I have these little pouting sessions of pathetic wussiness, I realize two things: 1). I’m being a hamster; and 2). Historically, that’s pretty much the crumble of the cookie, in that things usually turned repugnant before they turned around. Indeed, in the very formation of our blessed union we tend to forget King George’s oppressive hell spawned a defiant and free rebel nation; and that didn’t happen with ease or overnight.

For example, take the biblical narrative of the rise of King David and the renewal Israel had under his governance. I love bringing the Bible into this because the left so hates the Scripture. Please note that, before Israel’s heyday via David, they had hell to pay because of the damage done by lousy leaders.

Here’s a brief breakdown of what preceded that epic, Davidic transformation of morphing from being the Philistine’s redheaded step-child to being a free people under God:

1. Things got bad … real bad. Saul’s corrupt leadership, that was spawned by Israel’s decadent desires, effectively drove their country into the gutter and allowed their enemies an upper/oppressive hand. Sound familiar? And it got bad, folks. I’m talking real bad, as Israel became a cartoon of what she was originally intended to be. In this dilapidated state of Philistinian dominance, including Israel’s corruption and cowardice, arose a new leader named David. What appeared to be “the end” for Israel was actually only the beginning of a new day. Chew on that for a while.

2. New leaders emerged. For ancient Israel to extricate themselves from the slough of despond they were in, it demanded that new, principled leaders replace the sucky ones. Everything rises and falls on leadership. If things truly blow then it’s time to blow out the bosses. Oh, and by the way, transformational leadership will not be what you’re used to. David came out of left field. No one expected him to be chosen. No one thought he could fell the foul toad called Goliath, and those who did want to give him a shot tried to arm him with all the crap they had that didn’t work. The leaders we need will not be who we’d expect or pick. They will be unorthodox.

3. Motives for leading changed. David wasn’t trying to be a king. He didn’t have as a five-year plan that one day fair maidens would sing his praises and feed him grapes. He wasn’t trying to be a conservative star. He wasn’t trying to make a career out of this event. David’s motives were God and country. He wasn’t attempting to be the next Big Shiznah or the most popular slingshot artist in Israel. He just wanted to slay giants and save a nation.

4. Enemies were called out. David’s rise to power when Israel was nothing but a craven quail entailed the verbal scathing of the enemies of Israel. Check out how he vocally dealt with Goliath’s threats prior to his taking care of business. David wasn’t sweet or politically correct about what he thought about those who were Israel’s oppressive enemies.

5. Supernatural strength was fetched. David built himself up in God. If some dork thinks he’s going to change America because he’s fit and glib or she’s got freshly dyed blonde hair and new, fake boobs, they’re gonna get their butt handed to them by demonic forces that currently rule this roost. Youth and zeal are no match for age and treachery unless God be on your side. Yep, the new leaders who were the agents of godly change sought God for supernatural wisdom and strength; and they prayed in no uncertain way that God would waylay the enemies of truth, righteousness and justice.

So, little kiddies … we need to cheer up. You and I can’t curl up in the fetal position and wet our big diaper since things seem bad right now, because that’s exactly what the enemies of our nation would like us to do, namely … check out. Give up. Lose heart. Instead, we must realize the historical pattern of things usually gets real frickin’ bad before it gets better.

Kaslin, I know a family that vacationed in Africa for three weeks with their two daughters. They enjoyed the beautiful sights, the animals and the game preserve they stayed at, but the sights of the local people nearly traumatized their 15 year old daughter.

Bone crushing poverty, dressed in rags, begging for a few pennies, children beaten for daring to approach tourists was an everyday occurrence. When they returned home they had to restrain her from giving away all her possessions because she believed she had too much when others didn't have enough to survive.....

it is the things we can’t talk about. After WWII you can’t mention genes. Genes matter more than anything else. Genes determine life.

You don't believe in G-d, do you? Or Adam and Eve, for that matter?

You sound like a Darwinian biological determinist. Perhaps you'd like to bring back Darwinian eugenics?

and since this is a religious thread I can say this without getting laughed at- mass immigration is an old Satanic play. it works really well. In Israel, the northern half was taken and the Assyrians flooded it with their own people. The half breed Jews/Assyrians became the Samaritans and the Jews afterward didn’t even want to look them in the eye. When there are genes Satan fears, he tries to wipe them out. Africa no threat. Mexico/Central America no threat. America threat level high because if remaining genes. Satan only has a little while before he has to seize control of the entire planet. We’re being wiped out before then. Mohahhmed Azabeddean, Paco Sanchez, Tiberius Jamal IV will bow to keep getting their checks and not to upset the system.

So Europeans are the "holy people" and "Satan" is trying to wipe them out?

You're not "Philip Freneau" come back under a new name, are you?

Actually you bring up a wonderful topic. Adam and Eve. Yes, they existed and God, since then, hasn’t created any more humans. We’ve just been shuffling around those same genes for thousands of years. Once they’re diluted, that’s it. As for God, He is judging this country. We are on fire. We have been measured and our time is up. You haven’t noticed that?

No, Europeans aren’t the chosen, but we are intelligent and resourceful and rebellious. We need to be ridiculed, shamed and bred out of existence before the Antichrist can start his nonsense without fear of opposition.

I agree that America is under judgment.

◾Genesis 17:1-6 | God promised that Abraham would be a father of many nations, not just one.

◾Genesis 22:16-18 | God promised that those nations descended from Abraham would possess the gates (access points vital for trade, commerce and military purposes) of their enemies.

◾Genesis 26:3-5 | God promised that the populations of those nations would multiply to become as numerous “as the stars of heaven.”

◾Genesis 27:26-29 | God promised that those nations would become wealthy and would rule over other nations.

◾Genesis 28:13-14 | God promised that those nations would spread in all directions worldwide.

◾Genesis 35:10-11 | God promised specifically that these descendants would become “a nation and a company of nations.”

The USA and the Old British empire fit this criteria. IMHO we are Biblical Israel. The tiny nation in the middle east is Biblical Judah. Apply this theory to Bible prophesy and decide if this idea has merit. Hosea 5 is a good choice for a start.

Comments are welcome.

And just how have those same human genes we've been shuffling around for over 5000 years been "diluted?" Are you saying that non-Europeans are the result of bestiality?

It seems common among evangelicals to think of America as if it were the nation of Israel. I don’t think so, the Old Testament nation of Israel was a theocracy, the founding fathers of America, most of them deist Freemasons, saw to it that this country would be a kind of hunanism and NOT a Christian version of Old Testament theocracy.

The US of A is not the kingdom of God, though there are many in this country who are of that kingdom. Our hope is Christ and the gospel of the kingdom, Matt. 24:14.

I can only wish it were true.

It is not about saying “screw it”, it is about passing the tipping point where most voters are slackers and parasites to some extent, voting themselves largesse from the public treasury.

We now have a radical Marxist Muslim installing socialism in our institutions and most of the nation is fine with this or likes it.

We have lost the entire generation under 40 years old, certainly under 30 years old, who are buying into all the leftist dogma after decades of brainwashing in the government schools. They buy PC and bleeding heart nanny state assistance and global warming and screw the rich, etc.

Not universally, but we are beyond the tipping point of no return. There is no going back. It is just a question of how rapidly America declines and falls. How rapidly our economy is destroyed. Our morals are certainly taking a rapid plunge.

40% of all children are bustards born out of wedlock. We are being flooded with illegals. 45 million on food stamps.

I will continue to pray for a halt to our race toward socialism and decline, but I don’t see any mechanism to save this nation from its fall.

God didn’t abandon us. We abandoned him. At one time even if we didn’t deserve God’s Grace, we were at least worthy of it. Not any more. Not even close.

Apologize to your children for losing America on our watch and keep praying. That is all that’s left. The GOPe is nearly as damaging as the Commie leftist puke Democrats.

I'd have never guessed that from what you've been posting. You've been making the whole religious struggle out to be purely racial and nothing else.

but we are intelligent and resourceful and rebellious. We need to be ridiculed, shamed and bred out of existence before the Antichrist can start his nonsense without fear of opposition.

So the only thing standing between "Satan" and the world is the existence of ethnic Europeans? That's nothing but Euro-Israelism. I'm sorry, but if you believe this then you do believe Europeans are the chosen people.

This whole thread (which belongs in the religion forum, not news) stinks of henotheism.

Are you sure you're not "Philip Freneau?"

Our revolution was largely preemptive, a revolt against what we saw on the horizon.

As opposed to then, most Americans today accept an increasingly despotic government. There is little time.

Do you honestly believe that the millions of Dreamers® that are flooding to America are going to stand up to future injustice? Just keep hanging on to that as you disappear. At least your last words as the DHS stomps you to death can be that you were a good person. I say again- genes matter. We breed animals for their genetic traits, and talk about inheritance of intelligence, but not among humans- no, with us it’s different. We are the last threat. With the US taken out, hell will reign.

At last the thing that's been implied throughout this entire thread has come out of the closet: Anglo/Euro-Israelism. America is the "chosen nation" and is governed by a "national 'gxd.'"

This "we are Israel" line has been trotted out by the Ethiopians, the Armenians, the Irish, and every other historically chrstian nation. It's nothing but nationalist supersessionism, plain and simple. Plus the implication is that the real Israel (the Jews) aren't Israel at all, but imposters of some kind. This is dangerous ground.

There is much unpleasantness that lies ahead, no matter what any person or persons do or don’t do.

The soft and the weak (physically and morallly) will perish on an industrial scale. Many of the strong and moral will also perish.

The only thing yet undecided is what happens after that; do we recover or do we (meaning the whole human race) descend into a millennium of darkness?

The Jews are the chosen, and some day soon, they are going to be magnificent. But in the period where they must learn, we are taking up the slack, sharing their tents and making a mess of things but it is our purpose to hold back the darkness for a little while. We are the sons of Japheth.

Things are not going to be horrid forever. In fact, in times like these we should look up. But just be prepared that the US will vanish.
