False Prophets of Optimism – The 2009 Election Results

Conservative leaders today are rejoicing over the out come of last nights 2009 election victories that have taken place. Many of the conservative leaders and their base are touting that they can see the light at the end of the tunnel and our optimistic. Last night’s victories are quite encouraging in light of the past shellacking that conservatism and the Republican Party have taken but they are the last struggling convulsions of a nation on the precipice of total collapse.

The absolute reality is that the conservative, optimistic ideal cannot support the excessive weight of the current crises and realities at hand. This fact must be recognized and accepted by the conservative right in this country. The current crises are reaching gigantic proportions - both nationally and globally. The good intentions and well wishes of this flawed ideology (Conservative optimism) has had its place in the past, but now in light of the global climate affected by ever-increasing human depravity, it is but a “spider’s web” of hope (Job 8:14). For harnessing the unbridled passions of fallen humanity (i.e., the opening of “Pandora’s Box"), there is nothing to do to bring them back again. Pandora’s Box was cracked open at the Fall of Man in Eden’s Garden (Genesis 3), but since the 60’s the lid has been completely removed. In this outworking of lawlessness, this movement has corrupted and contaminated the United States and the whole earth (Matt 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).

Where were these *so-called* Conservative leaders when they were in power and had the chance to solve these problems?

We’re being bullshitted again!

Nonsense!! Conservatism is the only hope this country has to fix the problems of the current crises and move the country forward. It works when its tried. I and hopefully many other conservatives will reject this defeatist theory.

I'm a victor in Christ!

My friend, we are at the Alamo... It’s reality not a defeatist point of view. Step back and weigh it all out. Our Culture is rotten to the core. No conservative can change that... I’m not hating.. just being real..

God Save America!

The Kingdom of Heaven is coming my friend. Thy Kingdom come Thy Will be done.... Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ WILL COME AGAIN..

I’m just a realist waiting for the Heavenly deliverance!

1 John 5:1-4! Victory in Jesus!

My friend, I don't think your hating. In fact I thought your post was excellent. I just disagreed with your one premise. I'm an eternal optimist, some times to my own detrimrment. But I've also seen what hope can change(sorry for the obamaism) with just plain faith. I agree our culture is in the crapper, but I've seen some signs of hope. The only thing that is going to save us is God's grace, and I have faith he will. My faith is the cornerstone of my conservative values, so to me both go hand in hand and are inseparable.
But I do stand corrected on the point where I said your point of view was defeatist, after reevaluating your point; you are just being a realist. My bad.

Pleasure conversing with you. And God Bless the USA!!!!
