One must learn to fight or go under. Since the the 1950’s the Third World and its masters have waged war against the West and all of its institutions.
I think the best thing to do is to pray for the eventual breakup of the country, and the preservation of some form of a smaller constitutional republic to emerge from it.
America is irretrievably broken. It can’t survive intact anymore.
Put your trust in God. Teach your children to ride, shoot, and tell the truth. Help the develop some pre-electricity skills as well.
Teach your kids and grandkids right from wrong, how to be moral and ethical, and how to survive in the face of evil.
And pray that someday the pendulum swings back from the edge of insanity.
When our votes don’t work (and they don’t) there is but one option.
Not a pleasant one, but one which is necessary.
We have to be God’s remnant no matter what happens to our once beloved country.
Oh. And keep your children away from public schools. They will do their very best to undo everything you are trying to do.
Politically? Nothing. There is no hope. Even when America was a great and prosperous nation, it was wise then - and even moreso now- to remember that our hope is not in any man-made organization (Nation). Our hope is in Christ alone. And if God is truly merciful and loving (and He is) then he will correct the evilness that is America and punish the wicked.
But until then, I've got a far greater guarantee of a land that will never see decay.
/sermon over.
I was feeling much the way you describe a few years ago.
I quit following the news, especially politics for a couple of years.
I spent that time reconnecting to all the things I had pushed to the back burner.
I’ve mostly divested myself from all the outside noise now.
It really worked for me.
Similar and understandable thoughts were being voiced during the Carter administration. It is remarkable how things can turn around. With this narcissistic community organizing lying inept anti-Semitic racist in charge, things look dark. Americans are resilient. I’m not a Pollyanna, but look at the fine people around still going. Just imagine.......
Good question for Easter-time. Remembering how Jesus suffered may help console you in your suffering. Keep in mind the advance of the gay-agenda is not much compared to being thrown to the lions.
Christians were persecuted for hundreds of years and, in fact, are still persecuted by muslims outside of the U.S..
Putting aside political advice or calls to arms, as a family activity over Easter, maybe you could find some good books on Church history and try to relate it to today w/your family.
Early Christians took some consolation in the Book of Revelations as well, but might be too esoteric of a study for kids.
You’ve got lots of good information already; teach your children well, etc. I would add in not to get too upset with them if they do something foolish [that’s more directed to me than anyone else].
The most important thing we can do is return to God. Not just on Sundays, but every day. Not just for ten minutes here or there, but for large chunks of time. How much time does one spend on Free Republic or other haunts online? Spend half of it in church instead. Offer to keep the doors open so others might come in too and pray. If Jesus sees enough people begging Him, He will help us out. But we must never lose hope in Him. And sometimes that can happen, but don’t let it. Pray.... fast.... repent....
God has never needed a majority here, an earnest core of believers is all he has ever needed.
To the degree this country is saved, and save-able, it is family by family. You are doing the right thing; lead your family. Look up, let God lead you, and lead your family.
We are beyond politics. A storm is coming. Make sure your family knows where to turn as their world unravels and turns on them. You will be the stabilizing influence not only for them but for the people around you in your corner of the globe.
Remember Winston Churchill : We will fight on the beaches, in the fields, etc. = Get involved at your local or regional level.
Talk with the local school boards, town councils , county commissioners, fire department Board of Directors, etc. & managers. Then support good people or run yourself locally.
Same for state and federal offices; catching the politicians & their staff when they are the most open = running for office, looking for money, volunteers, etc.
Dialog...three words.
Lock and load.
What are we going to do? What will organize us?
I don’t know, but it will likely take both a top down and a bottom up effort.
There’s a very strong anti-government or fear of government component within our younger generations.
This needs to be exploited.
Rand Paul is the only one that is actively on this issue and I think that Cruz can borrow certain aspects that will resonate among the middle.
I’m perfectly happy to have Paul getting the zombies to begin to think for themselves while Cruz puts the final nail in them.
Either way it won’t make much of a difference.
Objectively, there is virtually nothing that can be done.
We can only hope to stall their progress.
But stall their progress to what end?
Submission?
or
Conflict?
Second, gays are not the enemy. They are people with a mental defect who are trying to emulate the rest of us with their marriages and adoptions because they want to be just like you.
Third, it is not our place to judge them. Leave that up to God. Bake them a damn cake if they want one. You're not supporting the gay lifestyle, you're supporting the right to celebrate an event with a cake.
In their way they are trying to carry on the traditions of family that we all believe in and that is the most important thing.
Remember the words of Adm. James Stockdale on his years checked-in at the Hanoi Hilton:
“This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”
“Live Free or Die.”
Get behind Cruz....he will lead us out of this fire.
Anyone willing to surrender to these communist bastards up should have never been in the fight. They should shut up, hide and stay the hell out of the way.
Go Cruz Go.......
Zechariah 1:3 Return to me....
