Have you heard that stimulus money is going to anti-tobacco and anti-sugar advertising? I would bet it is going for other such advertisements, legal expenses, and other costs. Of course, some of that money is also going to subsidies FOR those industries, as the government continues to subsidize at least sugar production (which has raised the price of sugar, which has caused a switch to corn syrup, which has raised the cost of corn, which... well, you know). So, the government is subsidizing both sides. At what point do we pigeonhole the whole rotten organization, reset the laws, and pretty much start from scratch? It has to happen. We cannot afford to be for what we are against. Especially since we, collectively, should not be involved in most of that anyway.
Hang them? Shoot them? Meh, just force them to live off their own programs for a while. Sending them to Cuba would fix that. But... do not ever bring them home. That is my vote.
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold,[e] there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon[f] became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders,[g] the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Revelation 6:12-17
ReplyDeleteThat is when.
Could be, but if not, this will end of it's own weight in more earthly ways. Just as the Greeks, Romans, Easter mystics, Russians, Germans, and Catholic empires fell. Still, this nation, like Christianity itself, is a minor miracle of man working with God, in faith. I would like to see it work some things out and become salient again. It can happen.
ReplyDeleteIt seems man is neither satisfied with civilization, which turns to insanity and inanity, nor with barbarism which leads to brutal marshal law and then eventually civilization which then corrupts itself to death. Then again, he should be satisfied with neither. Man, collectively but certainly individually, has no power over which of those reigns though. All he can really do is try to do the best with what he has. That, however, is the greatest gift God gave us. It is that gift that will allow us to become fully His children. Choices where no real power is at hand and only faith can see one clear, whether through martyrdom, wise living, or even as a slave.
Meh, could be.
