Obama's Divisive Symbolism

I realize that divisiveness is not an impeachable offense, but it is at least a strong indication of the mindset of the person's character involved. Case in point: President Obama has apparently decided that he doesn't want to live in the White House any more. I concur that getting him out of office would be a blessing for all of us, but I'm afraid that's not what he has in mind. He apparently wants to change the White House into the "Rainbow House"!!! At least that's what can be gathered from the way the White House is now being lit up at night with various colors of the rainbow, through floodlights. Every color is apparently acceptable, except for white. After all we can't have the White House actually looking white, not in the city that considers itself the Socialist capital of minority (especially black) America. I guess Obama is publically declaring that he does not consider himself the President of all America, merely the President of minority America; or more specifically the President of black America, and the rest of us know where we can go, as far as he seems to be concerned!

I thought that white was supposed to be the blend, or mixture of all colors. If he wanted to bring this country together, wouldn't white be the color to best symbolize this intent? Therefore, the opposite intent must be true, since he has intentionally decided (or some junior official has decided for him, without his correction) that the "colors" of America's population must be broken apart to create the country that he wants to serve. If this is true, I can't think of a more divisive symbolic gesture from the President of the "United" States of America. Perhaps he would be more comfortable operating out of Moscow. At least he would not have to pretend that he actually cared about this country, from there.

I recognize that on face value the colors of the floodlights that are trained on a building matter little. But the consistency of his administration's perspective in their public policies indicates that this is a very appropriate conclusion to draw from this symbolic gesture. How much more anti-American behavior, and rhetoric must we put up with over the next year and a half, until we are finally rid of this man's twisted, and even "reverse-racist" values posing as the official tenor of American policy?

Trump Reverts To His Old Self

I feel a bit silly defending Trump in one post, and then having to turn around and condemn his comments in the next. But that's what I'm about to do. I think the man suffers from a terminal disease. Probably called "Political Foot-In-Mouth" disease!

I defended his willingness to condemn the Mexican government for their poor record in stopping the illegal immigration traffic flow, and the flow of illegal drugs across the border. Anyone who thinks this is a way to condemn all immigrants because of the criminal element that gives them such a bad reputation is a fool, or a Democrat, which is about the same thing!  But if it's necessary to slow the legal immigration process in order to stop the open door policy for Mexico's drug thugs, then so be it! We've got to put a stop to this liberal insanity.

But on the other hand, Trump stepped over the line when he condemned Senator John McCain's record as a war hero, which is legitimate, and irrefutable. There are myriad reasons to condemn McCain's moderate voting record as a Senator, and he was a disaster as a Presidential candidate. But his war record is unimpeachable.

Catch a clue Donald!!!

Much Ado About Nothing

It tickles me to see the liberal media in a flummox over Donald Trump's indecorous comments about our "friends" to the south, especially Mexico. They are outraged to think that anyone would suggest that Mexico would willfully export it's most undesirable felons and miscreants across their border to leave their problems for us to deal with. After all, these poor persecuted illegals must be coddled, and protected from such outrageous legal harassment as the federal government's efforts to deport them back to their countries of origin. That's obviously why so many localities have instituted laws protecting their "rights" from the federal government, making themselves into so-called "Sanctuary Cities". That's how multiple-felonious criminals can escape both incarceration in our prisons, and the threat of deportation, while they sit around and take "pot shots" at California's Sea Lions, with stolen federal hand guns, and commit accidental murder (presumably in an alcoholic stupor) against innocent American women as they stroll along a California peer. I mean, let's get serious here. Who is to be condemned here, Trump (for merely stating the obvious, which apparently none of the other Republican candidates are willing to do), or the liberal politicians, and media pundits, who created those "Sanctuary Cities" and seem to feel that the Constitutional protection for the "States and the people" applies only to illegal immigrants, at the expense of reasonable protections for our legal citizens. In other words, the Constitutional protections are available for Liberal manipulation, to be applied to their various pet special interests (especially when it effects potential Democratic voters), and if legal American citizens rights and protections get in the way, well, that's just too bad for them, tsk, tsk. Does this smack of a Liberal view that the Constitution is not the "law of the land", but merely a tool to be used to promote their one-world, international socialistic values? It would certainly seem so!

Don't get me wrong, I am not a Trump promoter. I don't care for his brash manner any more than the Liberals do. But if my enemy is right about a certain issue, I have enough courage to say so, and shame on the legitimate Republican candidates for not doing the same. I'm afraid they have collectively bought into the political view that nauseated me when it was clear that George (W.) Bush seemed to believe it was politically expedient to be soft on the illegal immigrant issue, perhaps feeling that these potential new voters could be stolen away from the Democratic Party, which is absurd. Most of these people come from countries very staunchly Catholic-influenced, either from their own views, or from the views of their peers. They are not likely to turn quickly away from the one-world socialist views that the Catholic church has been promoting for centuries, and become devout Conservative Republicans, just because a few Republican candidates are soft on their immigration status. All these Republicans are doing is cooperating with the Liberals in trying to make new voters to elect liberal Democrats into office. They seem to feel they can "out liberal" the Liberals, and somehow this will get them elected. May God save us from the mind-set of politicians, who can't distinguish between right, and wrong, beyond what will get them elected. Where are all the statesmen who can save us from these politicians? Donald Trump is not one; he's just accidentally right on this issue.

I guess we're facing the horrible prospect of four, to eight years of President Hillary! May God have mercy on us all!!!

[UPDATE]--

No sooner did I make the above post then I turned on the Fox news morning show to watch what turned out to be a story of the 10 states (and the District of Columbia) which have passed laws allowing driver's licenses to be issued to illegal immigrants, and stating that over 400,000 such licenses have been issued in California so far (that's 52% of the nearly 700,000 issued by the state this year). Sounds like the liberal state governments are preparing for the 2016 Presidential elections already! Obviously, they feel that an election is not important enough to be left up to the best candidates with the best capabilities to lead the country, and with the best political perspective. As you probably know, every voter polling station will ask each potential voter for a picture I.D., or a Driver's License, to "verify" his address, which is presumed to validate his legal "right" to cast a vote in the election. They seem to feel that "stacking the (political) deck" is appropriate, even if you have to "import" illegal voters from other countries to do it. There was a time in years gone by when it was common for unscrupulous politicians to have their political cronies pay local drunks, and "bums" to vote for them, sometimes repeatedly, over and over again, in the same election. It was considered illegal then, but this is apparently a "legal" way of doing the same thing, today. Only on steroids!!! Any wonder why I'm so pessimistic about the prospects for saving this country's political system? The only hope we seem to have now is in a spiritual revival which can save those who will stand for righteousness, to either face the doom of our country at the hands of liberal international socialists, and the Antichrist's one-world Government, or pray that God will mercifully "Rapture" His Church home to be with Him in Heaven, and leave the skeleton of this former Constitutional government to those who are left behind. May God have mercy on them all!!!

But I've already expounded on that prospect in my most recent posts, previously.

The Enemy Within

The Old Testament talks about various punishments God promises to bring upon the nation of Israel if they willfully abandon His commandments, and begin to practice various sinful activities that He has forbidden. If I remember correctly, I think it's somewhere in Deuteronomy, perhaps the 28th chapter, but I'm not certain. It talks about various ways in which God promises to bless their willful obedience, or curse their willful disobedience; leaving it up to them to choose to obey, or not, with promises of consequences for their collective choices. I'm not trying to state categorically that those same principles apply to us in present day America, but the consequences for their disobedience sure bare similarities to what we see in the world today. I'll not try to convince the reader, I'll just enumerate the coincidences and let you decide if they are applicable, or not.

God has made it clear to those who believe in His word (the Bible) that all Homosexual behavior, as with adultery, and other forms of fornication (which is any sex outside of marriage) is a special degree of sin that he refers to as "an abomination". Does anyone really have the temerity to believe that God is too "stupid" to recognize the difference between heterosexual, and homosexual unions and call them both "marriages"? Does the U.S. Supreme Court really believe that they can overrule God's perspective, and trick him into blessing a perverse union, simply because we have legally called it a "marriage"? Such arrogant decisions, smacking of a belief that what the Supreme Court pronounces is more important than what God has already pronounced, thousands of years previously, can only be equated to poking one's finger in God' eye! Do you suppose that God will stand for this long? I don't! And as far as breaking their vows to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" (which clearly states that any authority not expressly contained in the Constitution is reserved for "the States, and the people" [meaning the local voters]). Since the Constitution is silent about any aspect of licensing marriages, the authority to do so is to be left up to the States, and local governments. Therefore, these assenting Supreme Court Justices have broken their vows, which should be considered an impeachable offense, but fat chance they will be so punished in this life, though I'd hate to be in their shoes in the next life! And the same is true for those Justices who voted for Abortion to be "legal", in the Roe v. Wade decision. The Supreme Court has been reluctant to recognize the clear "wall of separation" between federal and States Rights ever since the racist southern states used this clause to justify their "Jim Crow" racist laws, which were overthrown by the Supreme Court. They apparently feel that the clause in the Constitution was voided by their decision, and not simply the racist laws. All this leads me to be very pessimistic concerning the restoring of America's government to any form of Constitutional correctness. What with the prophecied rise of the Antichrist's one-world government, it seems that we can expect America's status as a world-leading power to be significantly diminished, to make room for "his satanic majesty". In the short term, I suppose we'll have to expect some Democrat will win the 2016 presidential election, in order to destroy America's influence in the world, which Obama has already greatly started. (God save us from a president Hillary, or worse!) Right now I think a revival would be spiritual, only, and the church will probably be raptured to heaven before a vote to restore America's righteousness cold take place.

Foremost in my position is the promise of God that their disobedience would mean that their enemies would begin to prevail over their armies, whereas if the obeyed God, He would cause them to prevail against their enemies. Also, their disobedience would bring about an infiltration of their enemies into their society, making it necessary to fight their enemies within, and without their homeland, simultaneously. Do you sense a parallel with the rash of home-grown, or so-called "Lone Wolf" terrorist attacks we've seen in America today? I certainly do! And the Obama Administration must agree, since they refuse to even categorize these acts as "terrorism", perhaps for fear that a statistical rise in terrorism for their years in office will leave a black mark on their "legacy". A bit late to be concerned about their "legacy", if you ask me, but well deserved at least.

This leads me to suggest that America is heading, not "toward" God's judgment, as many have been preaching for years, but into it! We're there, folks, and what are we going to do about it? There's only one effective solution, and that's collective repentance, before it's too late! And the only way to get a whole nation to repent of their individual, and collective sinful disobedience is through a Holy Spirit breathed Revival. And that's more than a bunch of faithful church-goers showing up for a week's worth of singing and preaching in a circus tent. A real revival can only be brought about by the earnest, "effectual, fervent prayer of (righteous people)", which the Bible assures us that it "availeth much". And that does not give those of us who don't feel very "righteous" an excuse to sit around and wait for others to do the praying for us. The Bible makes it clear that none of us are "righteous" in our own selves, but that if we are "born-again" through asking Jesus to forgive us of all our sins, and save our souls, we become the "righteousness of God, in Christ, whose (we are)". Therefore we take on the righteousness of Jesus Himself, and we approach the thrown of God confidently, believing that whatsoever we ask the Father (God), in His (Jesus's) name He will grant us. And if enough of the believers will cry out to God to send a great revival upon this country, we may see hope for this nation, yet!!!

At least for the people. And may God have mercy upon the members of this government, and those who are duped into voting them into office!!!

Apologies For Long Delay Between Posts

I apologize for taking so long to create another post, but I've been having problems dumping my internet security service that keeps raising their prices annually for services that other companies provide for free. Apparently, my former provider was upset that I should wish to cancel, and (coincidentally) I have been having a nightmare of a time even connecting with the internet since. Mighty strange coincidence, don't you think? You don't suppose they were trying to create a need for there own service, do you? Anyway, hopefully that's all over with, and we can pick up where we left off.

Watching the news lately, what with our incompetent president trying to declare victory over the Middle-East terrorists in the hopes that they will just go away and leave him alone, the unconstitutional decisions that our supposedly conservative Supreme Court recently handed down, and our incompetent Foreign Service trying to negotiate a deal with those liars in Iran so that they will agree not to build nuclear missiles capable of wiping Israel off the map, and then eventually us, too, one would think that we should expect the outraged judgment of almighty God to turn our nation into the second coming of Sodom, and Gomorrah before too long. And perhaps so. But in reflection, I'm afraid that this is all part of His plan. Not that He wants us to be a rank third-world nation, incapable of assisting other nations in fighting the oppression of the would-be "Hitlers", "Stalins", and the like totalitarian despots. But I can't see how the Antichrist's European Confederation can rise to absolute, One-World preeminence if America is restored to our previous stature in the world geo-political arena. I'm not suggesting for a minute that we should stop praying for a national revival, but realistically, I think it makes more sense for Him to "Rapture" the believers out of America, and let the unbelievers deal with what is left. After all, this "is not our home" as the Bible makes clear. We are only living here temporarily, while the Lord, "prepares a place for (us)", in heaven. So, while things are getting horribly worse almost daily, in America's situation, perhaps He wants us to long for a better place to live, while at the same time continuing to pray for America's revival. Either way, we can't help but benefit from the improvement!

Has Putin Become The World's Biggest "Welfare Momma"???

We all know that no one ever receives welfare payments that they are not legally qualified for. Riiiiiiiiiight!!! So, the trick is to get "legally qualified", no matter how absurd the reasoning may be behind your application. "Welfare Mothers" have been applying this principle for decades, here in America, often clouding the distinction between those who are legitimately qualified, and in need, from those who merely wish to take corrupt advantage of a thoroughly corrupt system, that doesn't track it's own trail of payments, because "it's only taxpayers' money, and not mine, so who cares?" This bureaucratic ambivalence is a direct consequence of a welfare state mentality, which sets up a "charitable concern" for those truly in need, when they are actually only interested in the permanent job creation of the bureaucracy that supposedly regulates the dispersment of benefits to the recipients. And the larger the bureaucracy (measured by the amount of taxpayer money expended thereon), the greater job security for the administering bureaucrats. The Obama administration has taken this practice to extremes, with the obvious reasoning being that the greater number of new bureaucratic jobs that are created by the Democratic administration, the more likely those new employees will perpetually vote for future Democratic candidates. In fact, you can bet that every new employee is carefully screened for their loyalty to the Democratic party.

We now see Russia's President Putin taking the most egregiously absurd position yet in demanding his "welfare", both from the U.S. government, and the governing bodies of international sport. While he is not screaming for his largess from the U.S., I'll bet it's only because he has enough confidence in the overall corrupt nature of our present government that he will receive his uninterrupted bailout money to fly our astronauts to the International Space Station, now that we have scrubbed the reusable Space Shuttle program, at least until we have developed the replacement system. This plan smells of corruption, but it's at least minimally defensible.

Then there's the flap over the International Soccer governing body (or F.I.F.A.), and the accusations of officials taking bribery money to award the future World Cup soccer championships to the highest bidder. Isn't it "coincidental" that Putin starts screaming "foul" as soon as the story breaks publicly, claiming that this is merely an American attempt to steal their World Cup award, for (I think) 2022. This may be true in part, but America could not even attempt to pressure for a re-vote on the issue unless it were easily proven that the Russian award was the result of such illegal bribery payments to the top F.I.F.A. officials, which would make their original awards null, and void. "Me thinks thou dost protest too much", Mr. Putin. That's how Hamlet would have viewed his clamoring. Shakespeare's original line was meant to convince the audience that the "protest" was tantamount to an admission of guilt! Is there some similarity here? I'll bet so! I've drawn the parallel before between Putin's behavior and that of an overgrown spoiled brat, and I think that description is most appropriate here. A brat screams his innocence the loudest when he knows he is caught "red-handed", and knows the punishment is unavoidable.

In an unrelated news item, today we have a story on Fox News that Wikileaks, the ...

[At this point, I experienced another great "koinkydink", as I like to refer to them. For the first time ever, I was interrupted (mid-sentence), and my computer began to shut down, on it's own, and then to force me to wait through a Microsoft Upgrade, with the necessary rebooting procedure, before I regained the use of my own computer. This would be normal behavior if I had tried to shut my computer down first, but it is not normal for Microsoft to interrupt my normal use to pre-empt it with their so-called "upgrades". I have to wonder if there might be some Russian "hacking" going on for all bloggers who dare to write something negative about their "Fearless Leader", to refer to the terms of "Boris, and Natasha" (from the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show"). Ain't it pathetic how my mind works?]

As I was saying...Fox News reported today that Wikileaks was set to release some 500,000 new documents, that are supposedly Diplomatic messages from Saudi Arabian foreign missions. Now let's just pause a minute to consider a few facts... Wikileaks' founder recently fled the United States to the "safety" of Putin's Russia, in order to avoid arrest and prosecution for leaking American classified documents. Do you suppose Putin's pressure might be behind these new leaks??? We know he can't flee Putin's wrath as easily as he did America's. And why would he single out Saudi Arabia, unless the leaks would serve to embarrass their government, in the eyes of a potential Russian-Middle-East-nations confederation, like the one described in the Bible, in Ezekiel 38, & 39 (you knew that was coming, now didn't you?). I'll bet these documents will somehow serve to strengthen the forming of this confederation, though I can't imagine how. This has got Putin's fingerprints all over it. Why would Wikileaks' founder care about Saudi Arabian diplomatic messages, unless Putin were holding a Communist gun to his head. I wonder if Putin's guns are more comfortable than the threat of America's court system?

Perhaps the documents will show some behind-the-scenes negotiations between Israel, and Saudi Arabia, concerning their mutual fear of Iran's developing nuclear capabilities. In the sense that, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" diplomacy, it may be that Israel is negotiating the permission to fly it's jets over Saudi air-space, in the event that they feel it is necessary to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. They recognize that a nuclear powered Iran would attack Israel, first, then Saudi Arabia, second, and much to Obama's lunatic denial, America third!!! Somebody has got to do something to stop Iran, and we know we can't count on our Muslim President to be the one to do it!!!

America's Finest Hour...What If We Weren't there???

I think God is allowing me to have trouble sleeping at night, so He can better use me for whatever purpose He has in mind. I seem to consistently have trouble getting through the early morning hours. It's not that I'm not tired enough to sleep, but that my mind seems to be more rested than the rest of my body. I hate to just lie there in bed, desperately waiting for sleep that is apparently not available, so I usually get up, watch a little T.V., and if that doesn't make me sleepy enough, I frequently think of something to write about in my blog. That usually polishes off a couple of hours, or so, after which I am ready to go back to sleep, just as the rest of the world around me is getting up.

This morning was no different. I couldn't sleep, so I tried desperately to find something interesting on the T.V. That's not easily done at 3:00, or 4:00 in the morning. Weeding through the endless stations of "infomercials", I finally settled on a History Channel tribute to the June 6th, 1944 "D-Day" Normandy Invasion of Nazi-occupied France. After watching several minutes of the show, and listening to the statistics of what the allied invasion force overcame, as well as the concern for what they very well could have faced, but by the Grace of God didn't have to, it became clear to me that this was "the finest hour", not only for the American troops, but for all the allied forces. I am convinced that this generation was no better than our own, but they knew the stakes were so high against them that the only way to defeat the world's most evil empires (both Nazi Germany and Japan) was their own selfless sacrifice on the battlefield. I don't think they were made of "better stuff" than we are, just that they had no choice but to measure up, or perish. Fortunately, enough of them decided to "measure up".

Which brings me to my point for today. What if there was no one to "measure up"; not in America, Britain, Free France, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, India, etc. No one! Bible prophecy talks of a time when there will be a World-wide evil Government that will make Nazi Germany look like pre-school. I think there is enough prophetic evidence to expect that Jesus will have already "Raptured" the Church (world-wide), and there will be no one to resist this evil, except for those who knew of the Gospel before the "Rapture", but did not ask Jesus into their hearts, to save their souls, until it was too late. They are apparently left with no choice but to refuse the Antichrist's "mark of the beast" system, which means they will face slow starvation, or arrest and execution as a consequence. Eventually, when the Lord determines that all who are pre-destined to be "Martyred" in this manner have been executed, He will determine that it is time for His final judgment of the whole earth. Apparently, His judgment will be so complete that He will not need any troops to die on a "D-Day-like" invasion. He will merely speak the Word, and the "Mountains will be brought low, and the valleys will be lifted up", probably like a giant farmer tilling his soil, and guess who He's going to use as fertilizer for the whole earth? That's right, everyone else left on the earth, who thought it was more convenient to accept the Antichrist's system, than to resist. Boy are they in for a big surprise! The sad thing about it is that these same people are probably alive today! They are probably the very people who ridiculed you, and me, when we tried to explain what the Bible prophecies say is soon to happen. It could literally happen at any moment, and we'd be gone, and they'd be left with the most bitter of choices: Stand up to the Antichrist"s system, which will carry a death penalty, with ultimate salvation, or wait comfortably for Jesus' ultimate judgment, and His permanent, eternal damnation! What a difficult choice, but one which will have to be made because when it's too late this time, it will be eternally too late!!!
