Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.” That is the story of the prevailing culture in America today. Religion is under real persecution, so far bloodless. Homosexuality is promoted by government and public schools, and held in high esteem. Boy Scouts now allow open homosexuals into their ranks as leaders. Girl Scouts inculcate young girls with birth control concepts and mothers dress their youngest daughters as adult sex-objects. 

"This day and age" is a proud arrogant statement intimating that the knowledge of the day, mostly useless thanks to twitter and a million cell-phone apps, superseding history and traditions of morals and culture over the ages. Vulgarity is common and spoken by both sexes while traditional marriage, family, formal religion, are not in vogue. Pro-choice does not give taxpayers any choice on whether to pay for abortions or not.



"Do not judge" is the Liberal Biblical argument used against Christians who evidently are to take everything and anything that is against its core beliefs and simply acquiesce, based on a misinterpretation of a single Biblical axiom. Pope Francis is wrong when he asks, “Who am I to judge … the offending pedophile clergy.”



There are many instances in the Bible that require judgment, one of them referring to the necessity of the chastisement of children that requires a judgment in order to be enforced. Judgment usually requires discernment and discrimination (a bad Liberal word) that results in an option to do one thing or the other, resulting in a choice that can be good, bad or indifferent. Another Bible instance narrates that when correcting a brother who will not listen, bring in two more witnesses to testify in the attempt to try correcting the wayward individual.



Christianity is held in contempt by the most visible “Christian” in the US, President Barack Hussein Obama, who caters to Islam while belittling, inhibiting, and actually persecuting Christianity. Senator Rand Paul claims that “The Worldwide War on Christians is being waged by a fanatical element of Islam.” If that is true, and Obama is doing the same thing, Islam trumps Christianity in the White House.


According to LifeNews.com, during a mandatory military training session in Mississippi, the US Army labeled influential pro-family Christian organization “American Family Association (AFA)” a domestic hate group. A priest is suing the Obama Administration for locking him out of the church he serves – not much different from China. Mass was not allowed on the Naval Base, and the Eucharist and religious objects were locked in to  prevent authorized clergy from entering. This represents de facto dictatorship and the end of America as a Republic.



Christianity is synonymous with love as described in John 3:16 made famous by Tim Tebow, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” But the Christian Obama is mean and vindictive when he does not get his way. Government shutdown actually permits operations to the extent of monthly revenues received, covering about 85% of government spending, truly the epitome of the heralded “Balanced Budget.”



Because the GOP sought to extend the one-year business exemption to individuals, Obama maliciously ordered fences around open-air memorials, monuments, cemeteries, and open fields in Shanksville, PA, where the fourth 9/11/2001 plane was force-crashed by patriotic citizens on board. This site is actually controlled by the state game and wildlife commission, NOT federal government. Obama mean-spirited closures actually cost an additional $76 million daily to enforce. Obama under threat of restriction of his ObamaCare resorts to bullying. Even Unions that backed ObamaCare are now against it and want it repealed as it is destroying jobs and Middle America.



Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson at the Values Voter Summit October 11 said, “ObamaCare is the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery… It is slavery because it aims to make all of us subservient to the government… It was never about health care. It was about control.” A Black element is adopting KKK philosophy and reversing times of slavery with notions to prevent White people from adopting Black children.



Obama is not a real Black man, not a real White man, or a real American, but a traitor and a disgrace to his Black community and all true Americans. It might take more time than America has to undo all the damage that has been done by Mr. Obama, if America can recover at all.



Obama has out-Nixoned Nixon but politicians are wary of confronting him, so how can he be impeached for his laundry list of impeachable offenses? The House of Representative cowards are afraid of what deep dark secrets are hidden in the back recesses of their own closets. All of them are on the take and beholden to K Street lobbyists and the powers that be.



Besides the controversial ObamaCare (ACA) Obama has grown the “Food Stamp Army” to nearly 50 million people who depend on government for food, to the point that is considered to be a right rather than a lifeline. Recent failure of the system resulted in terror, food riots, open plundering, and stealing, when computer systems that run the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) crashed in seventeen states.



When EBT card holders realized the system was broken and could no longer read their cards, they became angry and threatened to riot. Some stores, particularly Louisiana Wal-Mart stores decided to honor the cards as if they had full balances.



Word spread quickly very soon after it became known that Wal-Mart would accept EBT cards even during the temporary blackout. Realizing that, EBT holders ransacked the stores, stealing all the food they could carry. Store managers told news outlets it was like a tornado went through the stores. These riotous actions portend the final collapse of America when the fabled 47% find that the pantry is empty, notwithstanding the fabled printing presses of the FED that creates dollars out of thin air.



When the EBT system came back online, shoppers realized they could no longer loot the stores without consequence they left full shopping carts sitting in stores aisles and walked away. According to reports, one woman ran up a bill of $700 even though her card had a balance of just 49 cents.



"Burn, Baby, Burn" is the riot slogan made famous by race riots in the mid 1960s Watts and other urban riots incited by a routine arrest of a drunk driver in the Watts section of Los Angeles that sparked a riot that lasted five days and took the lives of thirty-four people. African American rioters looted and set fire to stores, as bystanders chanted the slogan of a popular disc jockey, “Burn, Baby, Burn.”



The Watts riot ushered in four summers of mayhem between 1965 and 1968 when more than three hundred riots occurred, resulting in two hundred deaths and destruction of several thousand businesses. It takes but one seemingly innocuous incident to set off a rebellion.



EBT food riots are no doubt the tip of the iceberg that when combined with the non-citizen Latino community that is belligerent in its own right, the possibility of a peaceful America may be wishful thinking. Both of them have Liberal support so what is the best or worst that can happen?



Don’t count on government, particularly Congress, to save the country. These vultures consider the US to be a country “Of the Elite, For the Elite, By the Elite.” Case in point is that of the furloughed nearly million non-essential workers, Congress UNANIMOUSLY voted to give them back pay once the budget impasses is settled. If that were the case, the furloughed should have been given the option to work for deferred pay, or take the time off without pay.



The problem with this “One-Party Two-Party System” is that NOTHING Congress does is good. Every law is voluminous, fraught with conflicting regulations, totally unreadable, undecipherable, allowing only K Street and lawyers to benefit. ObamaCare aka (ACA) encompasses 381,000 words, while regulations consist of 11.5 million words that businesses must comply with, virtually impossible, thereby preventing full-time employment growth.



A common refrain is, “We know the law is not perfect but we’ll fix it later.” How many ‘laters’ can effectively be dealt with as long as there is a Harry Reid in the picture? Maybe the country is getting to be a giant Detroit City, and demolishing it and starting over from scratch may be the best way out. As long as there are professional incumbents, the chances of fixing things are slim to none. If only we had a King (hmm, thought we did), we could dispense with the trivialities of democratically fraudulently elected politicians that know where the cookie jars are hidden, and how to make more cookies out of thin air.



Reacting to Congress inability to solve the spending and debt problems, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said “I hope the House will get some adult supervision from the Senate to achieve a debt ceiling deal.” Adult supervision from the Senate that has not passed the Constitutionally required annual budget, now for the fifth year, even refusing to debate or vote on the issues. Where are the adults in the Senate that do not comply with the Constitution? GOP RINO Senators John McCain and Mitch McConnell should switch their party labels to Democrat.



Conservative cause groups furiously offer polls, surveys, petitions, and backing for diverse politicians, followed by desperate pleas for contributions. Why does anyone think for a moment that all this fund-raising will change the political spectrum or anything? Big money is quietly outside the picture frame, hard at work under the radar, and all this little money is accomplishing exactly what, and for whose personal benefit?



Obama claims he does not care about his decline in popularity to 42%. “I do what I think is best FOR the country,” which is basically incorrect, as really means, “I do what I think is best TO the country,” First Baron John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton famously stated, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely…Great men are almost always bad men.” Who knew? One thing is certain; lying is an art form with incumbent politicians.in government, and the bigger the office, the bigger the lie.



Government shutdown is a lie, as it is a withdrawal into “Pay As You Go,” a well-recognized condition of much of America. 85% of government expenditures are covered by monthly tax and other revenues, and most essential bills are in fact paid. MSM is unashamedly complicit in promoting the shutdown lie and every other lie in the Liberal playbook.



The sad fact is that the massive decline in morals, ethics, and religion began after WWII in the mid-1940s. accelerated in the 1950s, and exploded in the 1960s, and finally coming home to roost, proving President Obama to be absolutely right when he said, “We are no longer a Christian nation,” as we are now an amoral irreligious nation.



The Muslim President is right. Woodstock in 1969 proved to be a turning point into open everything with its three days of debauchery that became the standard for the Yuppie type generations that came out into the open from dark recesses and closets, seemingly never to return, absent another but even more devastating 9/11 that can take the form of an economic collapse.
