I am sad for America. I guess I am also sad for myself, that I guessed wrong.

America has turned into dueling political dumpster fires. The left is currently losing its head more than the right. I can't fault Donald Trump for desiring a mid 20th century version of America. The problem is that we don't have the soul support for it. The left is so used to being where it is, that moving it is like moving a battleship -- it won't happen overnight. A faith revolution could help, but that has to be at the evangelistic level without politics.

God is angry at the left, chiefly. That's where the greatest sin is. However God is also angry at the right for thinking it can "heal our wound lightly." Christian principles flounder unanchored when faith isn't operating. We might joke around here with ideas like hanging all the lefties. But this is not possible nor would any modern Christian group want it.

I guess this is a soft opus. I'm not asking to never ever be here again, but only that it be as God wills. I think we all need to embrace humility as idealism will only burn us. And with that, sincerity. I dabbled in the Stormy Daniels threads only to find I couldn't stand before God -- that stuff is not conducive to the mind that God wants. There is no clean end by which to pick up a poop.

Please pray for America both left and right. Until a putative rapture we are all going to have to deal with one another.

Every once in a while we need to unplug. Turn off the TV, the news, the Internet, even Free Republic. Take a break. Get your mind back in the game. The true game that you’ve been speaking of here that is God’s will.

Take care my friend.

You are letting the media beat you down. I think it is better that we pray for revival (the non political aspect) and for the breakthrough that we feel so close to having. There is a rason why they are so agitate. We are getting close (i hope)

I don’t think it’s in God’s nature to ‘get angry’. That’s human business, and he leaves it to us to figure things out.

Take a cookie....you’ll feel right as rain.

Let not your heart be troubled. The animating contest for freedom as Sam Adams called it is happening right now. And the good guys are starting to win.

It’s hard to know what the future holds. History is full of surprises.

Most of the clinically insane occupy high profile jobs in the media. The left’s numbers are large but concentrated in a few geographic areas, and their leadership and power brokers are a lot more radical than most of their rank and file.

I think we’re already starting to see a political realignment that they hadn’t banked on. It was evident even in Hussein’s remarks today. He’s just as crazy as the biggest radicals among them, but even he sees they’re out over their skiis and is trying to bring them back in (at least rhetorically - the only way they win).

I don’t see that happening, however. Their base got a taste of socialism and they want more. They’re alienating more and more voters with their incendiary rhetoric and insane ideas. It ain’t over yet.

Sometimes you have to step back and view the overall map. We are doing quite well. Things are happening behind the scenes that will make many Demo’s hair curl and limit their ability to appeal to their base. It is a good thing.

Jeff Sessions is on the job.

He is just waiting for Q’s secret, secret message hidden in a dump
before he pounces like a rabbit.

I’m not sad. When there are unusually great problems, it’s time for unusually great efforts. For example, the media problem,...

Look at the blurb written by Drudge for an AP piece. Those are his words, not in the headline or content.

“TRUMP IN THE DOG HOUSE!” linked to an AP piece.

As Nunes said, all of the big money media mouthpieces are working for the left and its corruption. No true American is going to be a part of that.

Here’s one solution. *Stop following news linkers.* Each of you, bookmark a list of good news sites on your own. Modify the list of bookmarks to improve it as you go. There’s no reason for us to be mentally lazy and stupid. There’s no reason for us to be feeding advertising/hit revenues to the domestic enemy.

my dear brother. i’m sorry you’re sad. there’s a reason. God’s way is not trivial. it’s a trial. but He is with you, waiting for you always, ready to lead. take the lesson and “let the dead bury the dead.” your life in “Moab” is over, look to your future in Jesus Christ. that’s where you’ll find your joy. may God bless and keep you where ever you sojourn.

You are looking at this from a wrong perspective.

The Liberal Party has been in control basically since Reagan.

The President is up to the task. The work is required and the left is going to continue to explode.

Fallout will continue. 27% of this nation is that stupid, squeaky wheel that we are subject to. They are CPUSA.

Chin up and keep going.

There have been way way darker times, this stuff is shallow compared to many of them.

But even that doesn't matter ... The World is always the World. Not good, not bad, but if you're attached to it ... very very dramatic and heavy.

You're suffering is not coming from the World, it's coming from your relationship to it. You believe it's more real than Heaven. Very big mistake! Don't flip the illusion with the reality. Hint: The World is the illusion, not the other way around.

The Happy Warrior is not happy because he's stronger than the World or because he's mastered it. In a way it's just the opposite. He doesn't bow before it, but he accepts it for what it is, and changes his relationship to it, bringing his relationship in line with the truth, the actual reality. The World is fallen, and it will never be other than that.

Wanting it to be other than fallen, that is, other than it simply is, is caused by delusion (mistaking what you are for your thinking, which is just your tool,) and causes depression or at best a temporal buzz of false pride and a short time inhabiting fake heaven.

Sometimes taking time away is a temporary bandaid way to detach from one's own attachment to, hypnosis by, the World. But when one returns with renewed energy and a clear mind, heart and thinking, the effort should be spent on spotting the illusion and practicing being in the World without being of it, rather than ignorantly and futiley trying to change the reality that the World is fallen and always will be, if one is to find a peace that's not temporal and relies on conditions both within, without, and at the border of oneself.

Have a good break! I hope you come back having accepted the world as it is, beautiful in all its ugliness, and ready to fight the silly lefties, who are oddly also part of heaven, even though they'll never know it, with sincerity and joy and an occasional passing tear rather than the heavy seriousness that characterizes a very good man confused because he doesn't see Heaven where it doesn't and never will exist and yet existed all along.

Stop misinterpreting the World!

We are all in need of some soul searching. This saga, with no end in sight, is burning me up as well. I think time spent in the Word is the healing balm we all need.

This mess is starting to get to me too. Praying that God will do something about it soon. A lot of liberal, leftist folks are trying to start a bloody conflict and don’t even realize it, it appears.

While we enjoy vast differences, I appreciate your viewpoint, but you’ve obviously gotten yourself pulled into the falsehood of the media. There’s a real world out there with real, godly people living out their lives in accordance to God’s will. The crazies and the reprobates who inhabit the news are Satan’s agents.

Taking a break isn’t bad, but despair is never godly. Christ doesn’t save countries; he saves individuals. God is in control, and He shall never be thwarted. Look to the future with hope for it is certain.
