The definition of lunacy:

1.       Printing money and spending your way to prosperity.

2.       Taking guns from lawful people and expecting criminals to obey the same edicts.

3.       Throwing billions and billions of taxed dollars at social programs for an endless war on poverty.

4.       Taxing the rich as a way to elevate the middle and lower class.

5.       Thinking you’re all that and hoping for a third term.

6.       Believing the establishment media, and mistaking their propaganda for actual news.

7.       Believing a government that won’t stop spending, says they won’t raise your taxes, borrows or prints over 40 cents of every dollar they spend, can’t even come close to funding Medicare and Social Security, but wants to take over a private industry like , oh ,say medicine.  All the while, letting something small, like a constitutionally mandated budget slide for over 4 years…

I’m not trying to be a downer, but come on, I don’t know any household, or business in the USA that would try any of these ideas and be successful.  And nowhere in history has any nation survived this kind of treachery.  I understand nobody wants to be mired down in political talk, and for the most part, me neither, but this kind of activity taking place in our lands highest office is criminal, and should be called out for what it is and opposed vehemently.

The positive side to this equation being demonstrated as the old saying goes: “There are no atheists in foxholes”.  When the going gets tough, spiritual growth abounds and our cognitive dependence on God increases exponentially.  That part is good.  Unfortunately, it all takes place at the expense of our country we all love.  (Sorry , I sound like Peter…)

The answer?  I always hear my friends on the left asking for alternatives, instead of criticism, I don’t think the conservatives in our land could be any clearer.  I believe it is a matter of what the Bible calls deprivation.  When we lose our way because we fail to teach our children the values that made our country great, we are susceptible to believe anything, the ideology of liberalism and first stage thinking is much easier to fall into if you have nothing to compare it to.  It’s not that we aren’t trying to do right by our children, but the opposition has monopolized the media, schools, universities, and government.  There may have been a time, but I believe we have past the tipping point.  Miracles can always happen, so I am not giving up, however, it appears we are going to have to go through some tougher times rather than avoid them by following the ideas that built this country.

But brothers and sisters, be of good cheer, fight the good fight, don’t back down and be intimidated into whatever the belief of the day is, even if everybody is doing it.  God is in control, and we aren’t the first to walk down this road.  I will leave you with one of my favorite verses:

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, (or the times we live in) for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."

                                                                                                                                                   Deuteronomy 31:6

I can’t help think there are more of us, than there are of the folks that are changing this country’s course, so dividing us is their main weapon.  If we could celebrate our likenesses, and work together, I believe we could defeat the current movement in our land.  Having said that, it is my hope that we can convince our neighbors in a kind manor, that the way things are is NOT how God, or our founders set this country forth.                                                                             

God Bless.
