“The point is, unless you give Obama what he wants, he’s going to take the power of Government and dig its heel into your back till you surrender.”
I appreciate you taking the time to voice your (correct) opinion. Well stated. I wish someone in leadership would finally make a similar appeal.
I remember reading about Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” in high school and how influential it was. It seems now there are too many voices; that we’re “Informed to Death” as Neal Postman wrote about. Your post, though an impassioned, reasoned, accurate reflection on what’s happening and what should be done, is one of a million voices adding to the din. Is it possible that a 21st century “Common Sense” could have the same affect the 18th century version did? What if Thomas Sowell, Rush Limbaugh, or Ted Cruz made the same appeal you’ve made? Is that what it will take? Why haven’t they?
There seems to be something supernatural at work which is making what you advocate unlikely. Everyone with any understanding senses that things are gravely wrong, they know that a minimum of something right up to the point of violent revolution will right it, but no one in leadership is advocating it.
Just some ramblings. I wish I had the time, skill, and/or motivation to collect my thoughts into something more articulate and readable.
Thank you for your kind words... I’m supposed to be working, as I write, but since I’m my own boss, a little lost business is worth the time to voice. I’m no writer, but sometimes I just have to speak my mind. And its generally, as you say, because no one else seems to be making the attempt.
You said, “There seems to be something supernatural at work”... I am a Christian, and agree. I believe that supernatural thing, is God removing His hedge of protection away from America, for we have kicked God out. I’m reading a book now called THE HARBINGER. The way these things seem to work is that God will allow the enemy to overthrow the righteous, when the righteous turn their back on God. Nevertheless, those who are called of God, who hold to His way, still make a stand for righteousness, regardless of the evil overtaking the nation... we make a stand, come hell or high water.
Obama is the enemy of God, yet God allows Obama to rule as if to say, “is this the way you want it... would you rather be under a Godless Tyrant?” Those who are Godless, have no problem, because they give the Tyrant his power and the Tyrant gives them “goodies” for their flesh. For them, a fair exchange, so long as the righteous are castigated and powerless, “goodies” is all they care about.
A mounting tide against this tyranny may yet develop, and I believe people like Cruz are leading that charge... we must pray for Cruz and his like to ignite a fire under the America of the free and the brave, that be us. May we have the courage to do our part.
