By this time next year, I predict one (or maybe all) of the following:
1) Christianity will be driven underground as a Hate Religion.
2) The internet will be a ‘privilege’ that you must ‘earn’ and the government will regulate your use of it.
3) Unemployment will be at 50% or more among ‘original Americans’.
4) People will be ‘disappearing’ (which history will show that the government is behind it, murdering and imprisoning).
5) Obama will start his push to become UN Secretary General, so he can do to the world what he did to America.
6) Radioactive winds will blow along sun-parched stretches of car-less highways, as stragglers peer through cataract-clouded eyes and root in the garbage for a rusty can of beans.
That's not how this group rolls. They don't like to go out and confront and exterminate; they prefer to co-opt. Freedom of Religion will continue. We will all be free to worship in any worship building zoned for such purpose during authorized church hours from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, where we can hear the government approved message delivered by a licensed pastor.
This has already begun in some denominations as they do a "Justice Roberts" on Holy Scripture to twist around the meaning of "a man shall not lie with another man as with a woman for that is detestable." Now they say: "Well that only referred to forcible sodomy as a result of military victory." It's an argument to allow gay "marriage" on the theory that sex between consenting married couples is not sin. So let's let the gays marry and then it's all OK. The ultimate sin; man attempting to tell God what is sin and what isn't.
In other words, the Bible, like the Constitution, may say one thing but it means whatever we want it to, today.
1. Agreed and probably by the end of the year if not sooner with the acception of those churches, priests, and reverends who toe the state line.
2. Agreed, but will proably be a cluster screw up on there part for a while, but the effect will be the same for us.
3. If the debt implosion happens as it seems we are at the end of kick the can down the road of “bright ideas”. September will most likely see the first really big shoe to drop that gets us to the 50% or more mark. Hell, we may be already there if you consider the number of 93 million no longer in the labor force. (undeclared side jobs to survive not withstanding)
4. Normal human behavior when people have zeal for power and power alone. Power Kills, and absolute power kills absolutely. Just have to see how long it takes them to begin this one. Probably not long, or with in your time frame or shortly after. But close enough at this point.
5. Seems beneath him given his narcissism and smug attitude of superiority. Going to have to think bigger. Dictator of the planet, Supreme and Grand Leader of all Nations (insert Free in here if you like to make it sound nice and grander phony ideal like North Korea does with its official title) and what ever long winded and nice sounding and yet phone title for a petty tyrant that you can come up with. Might actually be fun to try and come up with some.
6. Definitely possible, sadly. I know you like to be creative and humorous with the description and make fun of things as they are, but I really have a hard time seeing it here if you are trying given the cluster we are in. Russia and China would love nothing better than to test those multibillion dollar warheads(ironic that we paid for most of it) on there enemy just for the smug satisfaction of doing so. If we get distracted enough and we are heading full speed in that direction, it will happen.
