"It is my opinion that never before have we, as a nation, stood in greater danger of losing our individual liberties as we are today," he said. "We, the people of this great nation, are being punished for the transgressions of our leaders and their consorts."

Amos 7:8-13

8 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

HUH????????????

If you're gonna quote all of that stuff, do me a favor..seems the following items are of real historical significance, so where are they: 1.) The Cross; 2.) The Arc (Noah's crusie ship); 3. Those Ten Commandment thingies...yeah "tablets of stone" (you'd think they'd be hard to misplace?); 4.)Joesph hiss own self! What ever happened to that dude...he gotta grave site someplace (seems none of these guys do, eh?)

Responding to a political statement with some scripture hocus-pocus really discredits.
