False Prophets of Optimism - [In light of Scott Brown's upset victory in Mass.]

[In light of Scott Brown's upset victory in Mass.]

Conservative leaders and their followers are excited about Scott Brown's victory and anxiously awaiting the 2010 elections this fall. Conservative leaders and their base are also touting that they can see the light at the end of the "Big Government" tunnel and are very optimistic. Though we should be excited about what may transpire this fall we should not be putting all our optimistic eggs into this cankering basket. What we will be witnessing in a future 2010 victory are the last struggling convulsions of a nation on the precipice of total collapse.

"What we are witnessing in the Scott Brown victory are the last struggling convulsions of a great nation on the precipice of total collapse"

The absolute reality is that the conservative, optimistic ideal cannot support the excessive weight of the current crises and realities at hand. This fact must be recognized and accepted by the conservative right in this country. The current crises are reaching gigantic proportions - both nationally and globally. The good intentions and well wishes of this flawed ideology (Conservative optimism) has had its place in the past, but now in light of the global climate affected by ever-increasing human depravity, it is but a “spider’s web” of hope (Job 8:14). For harnessing the unbridled passions of fallen humanity (i.e., the opening of “Pandora’s Box"), there is nothing to do to bring them back again. Pandora’s Box was cracked open at the Fall of Man in Eden’s Garden (Genesis 3), but since the 60’s the lid has been completely removed. In this outworking of lawlessness, this movement has corrupted and contaminated the United States and the whole earth (Matt 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).

So, I guess we’re all supposed to give up and go to some field somewhere and wait to be taken out of this world?

Seriously, it’s a cop out. We need to keep fighting the good fight as long as we’re here. God doesn’t look with favor on the perpetually pessimistic.

In 1789, in Hartford, Connecticut, the skies at noon turned one day from blue to gray and by midafternoon the city had darkened over so densely that in that religious age men fell on their knees and begged a final blessing before the end came.

The Connecticut House of Representatives was in session, and many of the members clamored for an immediate adjournment.

The Speaker of the House, one Colonel Davenport, came to his feet and he silenced the din with these words: "The Day of Judgment is either approaching or it is not. If it is not, there is no cause for adjournment. If it is, I choose to be found doing my duty. I wish, therefore, that candles may be brought."

John F. Kennedy, October 24, 1960

yo my friend never stated that... in fact I stated we should do all we can and fight but the reality is what it is - socially and mentally. Be objective and look out side the box. I'm a mail man and the cities and family unit is ravished.... please tell we how we will fix 100 years of secular liberalism and it's fortified debauchery. Our Faith and only hope in to be in Almighty God alone..that is all I was stating!

It's not a cop out at all just an objective evaluation.. do you not agree? God Bless!

Some live in REALITY and some see thing from a subjective closed perspective of false optimism and delusion.

My friend,Let me ask you a question...

How do you plan on fixing a nation laden with the blood of 50 million babies (abortion), 90% of the worlds porn traffic usage, secular socialistic entrenchment Washington and in states, trillions in debt,Fascist colleges, millions socially dependent and lazy, drug addiction possessing millions and an American society that can not blush or has no fear of Almighty God (The Judge of all the world)
My friend... that is just the tip of the iceberg. get your head out of your narcissistic world view and take alook from the mountain top...then you will see who is living in reality.. no offence..just communicating.

I believe this world will end, so let us have faith in God concerning the new world.

And until then what can we do, except what we think is right?

Anyone cheering Brown's election, need to slow down and take a very deep breath.

Yes, Brown is a populist-type but he's still from "Taxachusetts" and heard him give high praises to MA Healthcare plan (ala Romney, another moderate-lite).

He also praised himself for "reaching across the aisle to work with the other party" ala George W. Bush!

Many of us here were very frustrated upon finding that though he has "conservative issues on life and anti-terrorism," was NO conservative on protecting our borders, refusing to sign campaign finance "reform," and on and on, so pleeeeeease, don't let's ascribe our conservative Reaganesque ideals to Brown as many people attached their own hopes to "Obama, The Messi-uh!"

I don,t think its a cop out, i just think he stated the truth, we have had revivals before

But when everything is totaled up we always walk away with less freedom than we had before, and satan walks away smilling.

Satan has been let loose and is a raging devil ( litterally )
and we will more than likely have to make a lot of choice,s that involves more than if we vote for the conservatives or the liberals.

You are also right, we can not stop fighting satans liberals.

We are all doomed.

Derbyshire's book. It's uneven but good as far as it goes.

The thing about "conservative pessimism" is that it gets the details right, but people need some optimism in the big picture to go on living.
