On this glorious day of the Resurrection, I feel not compelled to add a countervailing note to this blessed Holy Day but to try to make sense of the concept of the Resurrection and how it applies to the current American political landscape in relation to the consequences of Obama's election and his evolving radical agenda.
1)Any goal "to take back the country" must be proceeded by a dream or what Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich calls a BURNING DESIRE, and the seed of that desire is founded in one's worldview or what one conceives to be possible based on what he/she has been taught by their elders (parents, teachers, church), learned from listening in on conversations, watching TV shows like Real American Stories, from personal experience or observations, or a personal belief in Christ's resurrection.
If there is one thing that the Obama administration and his czars want to stamp out, it is the idea that the "old order" of American exceptionalism, rugged individualism, and capitalist superiority can ever be restored to its previous apotheosis.
Obama and his merry men and women are hell-bent on destroying any link to America's past and through the virtual control of the American public education system by the Far Left, they are determined to root out of children and young American adults the idea or notion of an individual having the capability of resurrecting himself/herself from the ashes of failure, ruin, or self-abuse and replace it with the idea of government as the only legal or legitimate agency or proper vehicle to look to for personal resurrection, to become totally dependent on government to fulfill that role. Incumbent in this line of thinking is that personal resurrection is impossible without the aid or support of government or personal resurrection that is solely done out of self-interest in illegitimate, invalid or anti-progressive.
2)A second part of the strategy of the Far Left to gain a monopoly over "personal resurrection" is fostered through its alles in the MSM and the entertainment community who through its spokespeople on TV, radio, movies, music videos etc (Zeitgeist) generally seek to secularize and debase the culture and promote a self-indulgent, Narcissitic lifestyle as the norm, an amoral social worldview, and a nihilistic political point of view in which resurrection is equated with mass transformation or revolution and personal resurrection must be subsumed or sacrificed to the "cause".
3)An aspect of resurrection that many on our side have never considered is the link between counterrevolution and resurrection.While many politicos and pedantic pundits on our side optimistically talk about the normal cyclical change or transition of roles of the Democrats and Republicans between governing party and minority status, the Far Left does not view the American political landscape through these selfsame lens. A great deal of this feeling or inclination is based on Obama and his cronies being Fascists in wanting to deny or torpedo the free expression of ideas and dedicating themselves as part of the Alinsky strategy of destroying the lives of contrarians like Sarah Palin. Republicans and conservatives are seen as the enemy, they have declared war on us, and we are seen as counterrevolutionaries (check out what Bill Ayres is reputedly said should be done to conterrevolutionaries, as recounted by a FBI undercover agent present at the time of the conversation)who seek the resurrection of the old order, and as a result the Far Left considers any political activities not sponsored or orchestrated by them or the Obama administration as SUBVERSIVE. Actually this past week a writer at the Daily Beast claimed that Palin was a SUBVERSIVE.
4)Any depiction or understanding of the resurrection of Jesus Christ after being crucified on the cross must include the word miracle. The Far Left is hell-bent in destroying the idea or concept of miracles or the that humans beings can rise like the phoenix from the ashes. And if anything that has gotten the Far Left and its allies more distressed, dismayed, disombobulated, up in arms, or simply caused them to become unhinged or irrational in the last 9 months is the resurrection of Sarah Palin from being politically dead or at least thought on life support as governor of Alaska to rising from her political deathbed and resurrecting herself after the resignation to become a significant leader of the conservative movement and the growing anti-Obama forces and a major thorn in the side to Obama and his agenda. The Far Left does not believe in miracles, but in painstaking and nefarious planning and execution, so they blame poor brainstorming, flawed strategy or inadequate implementation for Palin escaping with her political life intact rather than the hand of God intervening to show Palin the pathway to a door that would lead to her own personal and political resurrection. The primary goal of the Far Left at present is to send Sarah Palin back to political oblivion but the fear now is, that like the resurrection of Jesus, Palin's resurrection may also become permanent.
5) So in conclusion the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the spiritual relm provides all Christians the hope and promise of eternal life but from a temporal and political point of view provides the anti-Obama forces the abiding hope that we can take back America and toss these Leftist barbarians from office and relegate them to the sidelines until we can restore and revive "the American way of life" and pave the way for an American renaissance led by Sarah Palin and like-minded conservatives and patriots who daily affirm the beliefs, values and principles that made the United States of America the greatest nation on earth.
And the promise of the Resurrection that Jesus would return to earth in all his glory is the promise that everyone on our side must always nurture and keep alive, that through believing that we are devoted to a righteous and just cause and that we are now embarked on a watershed crusade to save America from Obama and the Far Left destroying our country, that when we form an esprit de corps that we will become formidable and eventually invincible, that no power on earth can hold back and the messianic Obama can no longer stultify with one more appearance on CBS News, one more demogogic speech full of straw men or one more Alinsky tactic to weaken our resolve, our ability to mobilize our resources, or prevail through divide and conquer.
Too long for me.
When you are interested in something you do it only when it is convenient.
When you are committed, you accept only results, not excuses.

One word: clozapine
Yep, worked for all those African Christians who were hacked to death. Worked for all those Chinese Christians killed by Mao. Should work for us.

Not for nothing but doesn't the left refuse to believe in Jesus or His resurrection? How can they fear a repeat of something that never happened?
I submit to you that our Constitution and our Republic is bigger than any one person, be they on the right, on the left, or anywhere in between.
This 0bamunist/Communist aberration will not stand.
This notion of any politician mixed with religion is getting tiresome.
______________________________
The notion that any freeper(s) know what God has in mind for America or Palin or even their own individual future is more than tiresome and drips of the sin of pride.
One is reminded of all the Jewish Germans, Dutch, French who were convinced that God would never let happen that which ultimately did.
For all we know twenty years from now this period will look to all of us like the good old days.
You know that is a good point, but deep down there is a sliver of doubt in many Leftists and that doubt is what drives them to distraction in thinking of countless way to sabotage Sarah Palin.
Did you read my last paragraph? Yes, if America is to be taken back it will be work of millions. Did I not talk about esprit de corps. Did I not talk about the efforts of Obama to divide us?
But just saying that Obama will be defeated and that the Constitution will preserved will not get it done as a football team that only goes through the motions in the red zone will seldom score a touchdown either.
What are you talking about: Africans hacked to death-Chinese Christians killed.
Are you saying our side should just acquiesce and accept our fate and not believe America can be resurrected?
Don’t tell me that some of you folks take on the same intelligence as the MSM when you cannot tell the difference between literal and metaphorical. In using the word resurrection I was being metaphorical in its use as its refers to the resurrection of the nation and the the desire of Obama and the Far Left not to allow that to happen.
That history tells us that we would be ill-advised to read the hand of the Divine in current events in the sense that God so loves us that we will be spared a further decline into a societal abyss.
God helps those who help themselves and believe that they have the power to help themselves. I suppose that was the message I wanted to get across. And if we don’t help ourselves, Obama will make damned sure that counterrevolution never gets off the ground.
“I submit to you that our Constitution and our Republic is bigger than any one person, be they on the right, on the left, or anywhere in between.
This 0bamunist/Communist aberration will not stand.”
No it won’t.
Happy Easter, Mark.
If that was your message it was not clear. I agree of course.
