America: At a Dangerous Time.
11/8/2016 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 11/08/2016 8:14:09 PM PST by Lazamataz

In the time of the Roman Empire, when a General won a major battle for Rome, he would hire or press an Auriga into service. An Auriga was a slave, albeit a very literate one, who would whisper into the General's ear "Memento homo"(remember you are only a mortal man) during the celebrations and processions.

I will serve as Free Republic's Auriga, today.

While I am ELATED that Donald Trump has seemingly cinched victory, I am forced to remind us all that America has just entered it's most dangerous time in the entire history of the country.

The most dangerous time in America’s history starts tomorrow and ends on Jan 20, 2017.

Obama still is in power. He can create a lot of chaos. He can even start a nuclear war.

We are victors on the battlefield. But, I whisper, "Remember, we are only mortal men."

I wish that on 20 Jan, at Trump’s swearing in, he dons a USMC DI’s hat, turns to 0bama, and barks “Disappear, scumbag!”

Thanks for the ping, Laz.

This isn’t an end - it’s a beginning.

It’s not MEN, behind this, it’s GOD, and I’m not going to second guess what He is capable of when we truly turn to Him in sincere repentance!!!

But yeah, let’s keep up the prayers! But rejoice in this respite!!!!

Beyond that, there’s 50+ years of FedGov rollback that needs to occur.

Just afraid, that Trump, like H.Hoover is the right man but at the wrong time. The Left has set this thing up to fail and in fact hold the triggers to a economic meltdown, just as Chuck U Schumer did at the time of Fannie Mae in 2008, when they needed a “crisis too good to waste”.

Obama went the blame GW so much for sooo long, the public doesn’t want to hear its Obama’s fault.........but in actuality its the road the left took us down starting with FDR and LBJ.

Your humble optimism is much appreciated. I had the same thought today. There is over two months left in his term. Anything can happen.

We must be as vigilant as we have ever been. More, even.

Sadly you’ve made a very astute point. Never trust the boy prince.

There is an dead guy named James Thurber who wrote something I like to apply to polidiots and presstitues and other criminals .....

“Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around us in awareness.”

Trump just single handily beat the world establishment, the uni-party,the gope , all the media, the democrat party, the mainstream media, all the leftist billionaires Soros, Zuckerberg et al, Islam etc etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. to win this election.

President Trump will make America great again!

It's all here how he'll do it :
