None of them care a gnat's whisker about "the poor in africa", why right now, China is gleefully raping Africa for it's minerals, land and human labor, and nothing is done about it, they've just picked up where previous nations left off.

No kidding. It's all a dumb show. Africa is being depopulated by AIDS and who's paying attention? The new Mother Teresa, Angelina Jolie, shows up for a few photo ops and we're supposed to be impressed.

The world's poor, and soon to be, all of us, are destined to be manageable cattle, that's what the elites think of you. It's the same story of Pharaoh, Egypt and the Israelites. You can leave spiritually.

Bingo. Manageable cattle, kept in line by rabid dogs and Mad Cow disease.

Globalization is against God, He put the nations in their places, set their boundaries, and that is how the world was meant to be.

Succinct and accurate.

If any pattern should be overlaid on planet earth it is the Judeo-Christian template because it is the only world view which respects all men's right to life and liberty while acknowledging that man is fallen and our self-interest can and does corrupt our loftiest endeavors; thus a representative system of checks and balances is required.

If history has taught us anything it is that centralized power is always wrong.

"I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they did not wrong. If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority..."
Liberty is the prevention of control by others. This requires self-control and, therefore, religious and spiritual influences; education, knowledge, well-being." -- Lord Acton

Because we are instructed to be confident in His will which even today works all things for our benefit, we remain certain this, too, shall pass. Out of the ineptitude of Jimmy Carter came Reagan and the fall of the Soviets. Christ is presently bringing this world under His feet as His footstool. As God wills. Wise as serpents yet harmless as doves; praying without ceasing and rejoicing evermore.

One of the saddest things I ever saw, was a Time magazine article a few years ago, actually praising, or at least positive towards, with pictures, the new Chinese worker, hundreds if not thousands of them, all in a white uniform, all docile, all bowing down to their work leader, all such good little members of the hive. No individuality, all slaving away for "the common good". Yet, what were they really doing? Enriching some corrupt scheme? And where are they now I wonder, out in the streets, back in the provinces? How much "common good" did they accomplish?

Beware the "common good"
