December 24, 2013 (americanthinker.com) – While the Japanese were celebrating the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, the mastermind of that attack, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, had a sobering message for his countrymen. "We have awakened a sleeping giant," he said.

Even before the war began, the admiral had warned his emperor that Japan would enjoy early victories in any war with the United States, but that winning streak would last only six months to a year, after which American industrial might would inevitably overwhelm the small island nation.

He was right. For the first few months of World War II, the Japanese war machine steamrolled over the Pacific, humiliating and defeating the best that the United States and its allies (British Commonwealth and Dutch) could throw against it, winning battle after battle. To some, it seemed hopeless to resist.

Then came the Battle of Midway, where the Japanese Navy suffered its first catastrophe, and the long, bloody road to Allied victory began.

For years now, the gay lobby has steamrolled over the Christian conservative movement, humiliating us and defeating us in battle after battle. Then came the battle of "Duck Dynasty," and the gay lobby suffered a major backlash. Have they finally met their Midway?

Characters like PGR88 are totally invested in societal defeat. Any success must be immediately discounted and insulted.

In this, they are like the prototypical homosexual that are into masochism.

Perhaps Obama is what we needed after all - he has been busy creating the perfect storm and it is bleeding over into everyone’s lives, making us all more intimately aware of the evil that has been brewing since He died on the cross and rose again. While He told us to turn the other cheek, some are finding that it is also OK to duck when true Evil takes a swipe. The Armor of the Lord is real and it is for us to use. Merry Christmas!
