5 Things To Remember Before You Say, 'Screw It, I'm Done With America'

[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.

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.

I'd actually recently re-read the part of the Bible the author refers to above --- exactly correct. We cannot and MUST NOT allow our political and moral enemies (that IS what they are!) define the words and terms of the debate. We must speak the TRUTH in POWER and LOVE.

Excellent article, raised my own spirits this morning. Thanks for posting.

Hey, this is now a negative, cynicism thread

Take that silly Bible wisdom and go elsewhere

The smart negative people are here to keep us wise. They know so much about how this is going to turn out

“Personally, I will never be done with America. It’s my country. I fought for it. I shed blood for it. I’ve identified the bodies of fallen patriots who gave everything for it. I will not give up until it is rid of every commie, socialist, progressive and terrorist who would destroy it.”

Pick me for your team, Please! I am SO downhearted these days...

[zzwhale]

posting here is fine... but
get on your reps to IMPEACH
that will ultimately work
he is deperately trying to tip the scales which right now are 53% vs 47%..... using illegals which he will make citizens right before the elecitons.
Calling and writing can work...put the pressure ON...

[delapaz]

I for one would long to live in king George’s “oppressive hell”

Yeah the one where he pretty much left everyone alone and we paid a 1-2% tax.

Thanks for posting, but I think Doug misapplied the lessons here.

“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.”

And that is my motive. God first with My Country a close second.

I believe you meant this to be sarcastic humor (well played, BTW) ..... don't you think though that if they really knew how this was all going to turn out they'd be singing a different tune?

Believe me when I tell you that I'm going to have a hard enough time standing before the Lord and being me. I'll be the first to say I'm the worst sinner here on FR.

But "them?" Our political and moral enemies? Their arrogance is astounding. I surely wouldn't want to be in their shoes on judgement day. Pity them, but hey -- they certainly had opportunity to know the Lord and chose evil over him anyway. Really, pity them.

Personally, I will never be done with America. It’s my country. I fought for it. I shed blood for it. I’ve identified the bodies of fallen patriots who gave everything for it. I will not give up until it is rid of every commie, socialist, progressive and terrorist who would destroy it.

You sir, have my utmost gratitude, respect and thanks. I've not been where you've been, but I'll happily join your side when the day comes.

I am an American. I was born here, of parents that
can go back, before The Civil War.

I am not a descendent of money, but of hard work, and sacrifice.
My great uncle was a master locksmith at Yale
Locks. My uncle worked at American Cyanamid.
My great uncle fought at Chateau-Thiery. My uncle
came ashore at Anzio. My mother became the family
caretaker of her four siblings, when her mother was run over, while crossing the street, for a soda from the
station across the street.

My father was a member of the U.S. Army
engineering team that surveyed the ALCAN
Highway, before WW2. He was a merchant
marine, on the oil route to Russia, during
WW2. He was an USAF Reservist, till brought
to active duty in 1956, and stayed active till
1968. He became disabled from an accident,
while fueling Bomarc missiles.

I served in the USAF, in SouthEast Asia, and
during The Cold War. I was involved with the
USNavy Phalanx gun system, and StandardArm
missile system, DoD manufacturing oversight
of fighter aircraft, and various office ventures
till I retired.

This nation is my home. Unlike half the
buzzards we see today, i have other country
to pack up, and go home.

Amidst a sea of Socialist one-hand dreams,
and Communist midnight confessions, mixed
with a minority of confused sexual identities
at war with their mothers, I am still clinging
to a hope of redemption, rejuvenation, and
re-direction, to what America has always
been and stood for, before this sitting
president, occupied The People’s House.

YEA! That's what I'm tawkin bout. Thank you for your service and thank you for this post.

I feel exactly the same way. As long as I have a beating heart, I will maintain the fight to ensure America and our freedoms remain intact for the next generation.

Excellent Kaslin, This is what we need to hear.

"David came out of left field. No one expected him to be chosen." God chose David because David was seeking God with all his heart and made him King because many Israelis were seeking God for deliverance. Likewise we should be seeking God for our nation.........and as our only hope.

AMEN! My eyes and my hope are in Jesus!

I don’t have enough money to go somewhere else.

‘The numbers are just against us. Civil War is doubtful since 80% are freeloaders who hate America and are just here for the free Doritos. Good luck getting Juan Gomez or Denetrius Washiington III to rebel.’

In WWII only 10% of those in uniform actually fought in combat. If I am not mistaken and I may be, during the Revolutionary War roughly a third of the population supported the Revolution and only 10% fought.

Since we would be fighting an army paid to fight, how many do you think are willing to die for a job? Since genetics, meaning color is so important to you, 60% of Americans say they are white, that is of a population of 300 million that means 180 million are white if 10% fight and the rest stay home and watch tv, that means an army of 18 million to fight for God and country not a paycheck. Maybe China has an army that size but I know that the US doesn’t. In other words we have them surrounded.

I will say that they have a much larger army of trolls.

[equalator]

genetics are more than color. Ralph Waldo Emerson said "the race is the place." China is China because of the Chinese. Paris was Paris and America was America before it was usurped. The things that would be needed to cleanse this country would be horrific, and too much for the remaining effeminates. A group of men would need to become monsters and I don't see the indoctrinated willing to do that. They are willing to give up their fortunes or their sacred honor. They just want to dowload their porn, watch Dancing with the Stars and drink their Diet Coke

Shouldn’t this be in the religion forum?
