Rush went directly to how (in such times past) this nation has been rescued by "the fog" in our birthing war. But he fails to see that the answer is The One Who sent the fog. The LORD has stripped us of everything else we have traditionally put our hope in - our bank account, our bootstraps, our education, our job, etc. That's because He wants us to realize that our Hope is completely in Him!
Nothing against hunting, but I'm surprised no one else has commented on that particular segment of Rush's show, nor your own remarks. We are indeed in a bad way. However this all shakes out, America will be a very different place after Obama. Either it will be a quasi-socialist state like Europe, or it will be a country led by reconsitituted conservatism. The old post WW II conservatism that elected Reagan and won the Cold War is dead. Can it be reconstituted in present conditions? I am beginning to think, as you implied, that we're all in for a "dark night of the soul" and that only God can save us now.
