Having lived through long power outages in FL from hurricanes, and winter storms in the Ohio valley, I know that debit and credit cards aren’t of much value when there is no power for a week.

Add to that the banking uncertainty we face (if one has the sense to acknowledge it - most don’t). Most Americans refuse to even consider it as a remote possibility that we could have banking “holidays” that could cut off access to our money for one or several weeks. Their faith is amazing, thought very poorly placed.

I personally am not religious, but I am astounded at those in my own (married) family that have unlimited *faith* in the goodness and benevolent strength of the government on their behalf, yet openly ridicule Christians as stupid and superstitious.

Very interesting perspective, one I have often pondered. People openly ridicule Christians yet are resolute in their faith that the government will always take care of them and never turn against their interests.

I think the author make a very strong and compelling case that the government is already actively working in opposition to the people they are to serve. However, the government is very savvy, they keep proclaiming that they care and that they are compassionate... all the while they stab them in the back, steal everything they own, and maim them for life.

How utterly sad that this people is so easily fooled and willingly attach government chains to their own ankles.

Nicely said.

It boggles the mind to watch and hear those who worship Obama and the federal government's Welfare/Nanny/Police State make arguments against faith based religions.
