The Great Unraveling

Kipling:
Now it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Aryan
brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles and he weareth the
Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of
the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: “A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the
East.”

It is certainly no WORSE than I expected. I actually watched his acceptance speech and upon a little reflection realized that he had just announced to the world exactly how hideous a president he would be but only a very few who heard him understood what they had heard. He committed himself to do things which could only be done by almighty God and it seemed that the attitude of everyone was, “Well, they all promise things they don’t really mean to do.” When I replied that not all promise things that can not possibly be done by mortal man but would only be within the capability of a diety I was met with a disinterested look. No writer of fiction could ever have come up with a president as bizarre as this but he is no more bazaar now than when he was running for office, it is just that people are looking through a different lens now. I took him at his word from the start and he actually told anyone who listened and paid attention that his goal was to destroy this country.

I really wish I could say that you are overly pessimistic. I also wish I could fly like an Eagle.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

An anti-U.S., anti-Israel Marxist who likes to use the term “progressive” as camouflage, was overheard chuckling loudly and ironically during the 2008 presidential campaign season as he declared after being questioned on who his choice for president was, “ I am an Obama Democrat.” That person and the rest of the crowd who put Obama on the map and into power were licking their chops at the possibility of this ruthless force actually taking over the reins of power. Those in Obama’s camp and also anyone who was paying any sort of attention to even what was shared by the mainstream media had to understand that Obama’s background, mentors, friends, and boosters were absolutely horrendous people with evil backgrounds and predatory designs on the free world, Precious few who didn’t see that for themselves would consider the possibility that from this man’s mouth”hope and change” meant nothing and everything.
