There are no Republican heroes anymore. Even the Tea Party Republicans are aiding the Democrats in gutting the military, because they rationalize that it is "at least some savings." Meanwhile, they do nothing about what is really causing out debt, deficit, and imminent collapse: Entitlements.
All Republicans are now "Democrat-Lite" in that respect. None of have any intestinal fortitude to stop the ATM Direct Deposit checks.
I am more convinced than ever that Satan knows exactly what he is doing regarding finance and the end times. Read the Book of Revelation. The world is enslaved primarily through financial means, and the world has given the Evil One the tools to do it.
There will be a "worldwide economic collapse" - but it won't be the lovely "re-set" that many here on FreeRepublic dream of.
In that latter scenario, some Freepers see themselves as the smarter survivors, who cached guns and gold and will come out the "winners." I don't believe it will come about that way. A new more insidious "system" will replace our current one (as bad as it is), and the preppers will have to get in line like everyone else.
The world will utterly panic when the collapse comes. Where will the men and women of courage be at that time? No where. Look what happened this week! The RINOs will be little Marxist and work with the Marxists for a "solution."
Then, we will turn over our sovereignty, our currency, and our hopes on a new world monetary system. That is going to happen, period.
The world will utterly panic when the collapse comes."
You can't have it both ways. If the "world panics" when "the collapse comes", nobody will be getting "in line" for anything...
