It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.

It'll take more than that.

Civil disobedience? Pssh. Civil WAR.

Dear Franklin:

If it was just about white guilt, the Liberal politicians would sell everything they own and give the money to the poor.

Instead, the Liberal politicians grab our money, give a pittance to the poor, and keep the rest for themselves.

It’s not white guilt.

It’s Democrat thieves.

Very precise statement of where we stand, isn’t it? Over sixty years, the strong and noble people who built this great land and Republic gave it up without a shot fired and almost zero argument against those stealing it. The battle is over.

"The Cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard, the American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the strings on their beige puppet and have brought us Act 2 of the New World Order. The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told...I'm eighty years old - sad as it is to say, I'm glad I won't be around to see what's coming in twenty years - I've talked with others who feel the same......

It will take an Act of GOD to save America.

These words were not delivered at the Jacksonville Pastors’ Conference in January 2015 by Franklin Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. This item had already been circulating anonymously for more than two years prior to that event, attributed to no particular individual or publication.

Franklin Graham did not say this

Hmmm.

Just taking that statement one remark at a time has it’s significance. His description of “The Forever Needy” is what stands out to me. It’s true. When you bring that up, you are accused of ‘Poverty Shaming’.
We have a right to limit immigration to those with the skills and abilities to eventually support themselves, off the pubic dole as their main method of survival.

"A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the “forever needy,” the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other “fellow travelers” have ended Norman Rockwell’s America.

Those who do not heed the lessons of the past, or refuse to even acknowledge the lessons of the part, are doomed to repeat them. Unfortunately, they will drag many others with them to that doom.

The only hope is to ban government largess, which is what drives democrats and their voters. When you have to take care of yourself and your close ones, you learn the important lessons of life. With that hope being hard to attain, or impossible, America will eventually die. All countries eventually die when the people learn that they can vote themselves 'free stuff' from the government. And, it's not just the people already in the country; it's people from all over the world who are looking for the 'easy life' too. And democrats know that they can continue towards total control of the government(s) via accepting more people from around the world who will vote with democrats.

Is there any other place to move to that can become the next "America". There isn't. Our only choice is to put a stop to the road to misery, and laws may be required to end the insanity, even as we find many of those laws very distasteful. Another way is 'revolution'. Methinks that revolution may be the only way or only answer. Liberal America is now the equivalent of what the colonists fought when they got rid of British rule. No difference.

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Unless you're at the mouth of some rivers where the incoming tide actually reverses the flow. So you can actually touch the same water twice.

Not Franklin Graham. That should have been obvious to anyone.

Sadly, Graham is waking us up to the reality we f

We were granted a brief respite in 2016 with Donald Trump, but seemingly no reprieve as things seem to too far along to reverse

Yate’s The Second Coming reads like yesterday’s newspaper

The Second Coming
W. B. Yeats, 1865 - 1939

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

We are stuck in a gyre of our own making, the center is dead in our bitterly divided society and we are becoming paralyzed by a fanatical extremism pushed by fanatical extremists

Who can dispute that innocence in all its forms is under direct, targeted assault with openly expressed intent to eradicate it.

Worst of all, the best people seem to have lost all conviction and stand Idly by while the worst, clearly filled with passionate intensity, do their worst.

We are squandering the brief respite we have been granted by providence against all odds.

Don’t know if this is prophecy fulfilled or self fulfilling prophecy but the slippery slope is rapidly becoming steeper and more slippery.

Those that stand idly by are presented an opportunity and a choice. We best choose well because the time when we can idly stand by is rapidly coming to an end.

We may not be interested in anarchy, but anarchy is very interested in us
and our embattled President is all that stands between.

They have to go through him to get to us

It's fake news on a number of levels because this is incorrect.

Time is saved in a bottle. It doesn't run out; it's flipped over. Just like the word itself:

emit (v.) 1620s, from Latin emittere "send forth," from assimilated form of ex "out" (see ex-) + mittere "to send" (see mission). Related: Emitted; emitting.

Jim Croce was a Jewish prophet. Just check the man's name. James Joseph Croce. It's where Jacob (Jim, James) and Joseph crossed (Croce):

Life from the dead.

Let the dead bury their own dead. Stock up on American flags. Purim x 10,000
