The U.S. Election is a Referendum on Civilization
The American Thinker ^ | November 6, 2012 | Daren Jonescu

Posted on 11/06/2012 1:52:52 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

That the election of November 6, 2012, has the potential to be a definitive moment in American history is now almost a truism. This conception may sound overblown to the ignorant and disengaged, but in fact it is a great understatement. As America is the only nation left in which freedom is still on the ballot, this definitive U.S. election means even more, in truth, than most voters may realize. It is a referendum on the survival of modern civilization.

......if the rest of the world were allowed to vote, Barack Obama would win in a Saddam-like landslide.

Throughout what is left of the civilized world, Obama's superiority to Mitt Romney, and in general Democrats' superiority to Republicans, is the default assumption, regarded as beyond question. .....one who dares to admit thinking the United States of America a very agreeable proposition is regarded as either an infidel or a dope.

These two presuppositions -- that the Democrats are the good guys, and that America is essentially a bad thing -- should always be understood as a pair. Together, they reveal exactly what the modern Democratic Party and the American media have spent decades trying to hide from their fellow citizens -- namely, that to prefer the Democrats is to dislike America......

....A man is hanging from a cliff, with only his fingers still gripping solid rock. The prevailing impetus is all downward, but the man continues to dangle in one place as long as that grip holds out. If he lets go, however, his fall will be short and decisive.

Modern civilization is that man. America is his final, desperate grip. On November 6, 2012, that man will either be left alone to continue his brave, heartbreaking struggle for another day, or a boot will come down on his fingers.....

>>God save America from the leftist scum.

By allowing leftist policy to metastasize through all branches of the federal government for generations, a large portion of the population -- including, sadly, many who see themselves as conservatives -- have unwittingly forsaken most of what America, as a philosophical idea, stands for.

Our only salvation is if we the people shock and awe our Congress critters and new President into action to save our republic.

The real work of We The Conservatives must begin tomorrow. We must begin unrelenting pressure on Congress to reverse the damage done by Obama and 80 years of Leftism. First to go is Obamacare. Next, regulations with the force of law.

Four years in the Obamination should wake up all true Americans.
The problem is that the dark side runs the media and education.
Reviving America is going to take a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.

...Egypt is in real trouble .....and so are we if Obama is re-elected.

We are also in real trouble if Obama is not re-elected.

The difference is that if Obama is not re-elected, there is a possibility of recovery, someday, probably many years down the road.

Let’s save it for the Obamanoids.

Just as there are Europeans who like Obama, there are plenty who are praying that Romney is elected.

There are governments (seats of power and cities filled with bureaucrats) and then there are reasoning people who want to get out from under the same yoke they see Obama placing on Americans.

MY people...
 
 
 
 
Not the Liberals;
 
Not the ungodly;
 
Not the one's caught up in false religions;
 
Not ANY of these; but MY people: called by MY name...
 

Let THEM repent and forsake their wicked ways.
 
THEN I will hear from heaven and heal their land.
 
Are we up to the challenge?

Four years in the Obamination should wake up all true Americans.

And, hopefully, four years with Mitt should wake up all true Christians as well!

History proves your point:

When Israel had a righteous leader who followed GOD; it did well - but when they had one who followed a false god; they suffered.

It is a referendum on civilization tis true.

And while I'm voting for Mitt I'm not happy about it. I was kinda hoping for a true conservative but none of them cleared the primary hurdle.

So I console myself with this song of traditional family values and faith Happy Voting !

Elsie, we have had very few truly Christian presidents. Better to have a moral Mormon than an immoral or posing Christian.

Then there are OTHER songs...




(click)
Praise to the Man!
 
 
 
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assasins,
Plead unto heav'n while the earth lauds his fame.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.


Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.


Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know 'Brother Joseph' again.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

Elsie, we have had very few truly Christian presidents.

Some might ask: "What does it take to be 'christian'?"




 

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”


1 John 3:21-24

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.


(Believing in a FALSE 'christ' does not count...)
