So many of them are holding onto a vain hope, that "things will get better" and "we will recover from Obama."
I tell them that I don't believe that.
This nation has fallen so far, so fast, that I have very, very little hope that it will recover.
I doubt that few posters on Free Republic are over 90 years old. A generation is 70-80 years. In a generation, our nation has fallen so far morally and spiritually that I cannot imagine, barring a miracle, that we would return to Jesus Christ. We are Ripe for Judgment.
So many people that I know, who identify as "Conservatives" and "Republicans" are placing ALL their hope in their Investments, 401Ks, IRAs, Gold, Silver, Real Estate, Guns, Social Security, Pensions, Medicaid, and anything else.
Even at the stage of life their have reached, they believe that God intended them for One Big Golf Marathon rather than the Gospel.
Or boating......or eating in restaurants....or whatever.....
Anything, but Christ.
