With the stupidity being shown daily in Washington D.C. it is clear that the United States is a nation with suicidal tendencies. We have a bunch of pompous buffoons in congress grilling a bunch of baseball players and related persons who may or may not have used steroids. We have an unexperienced young man beating out a politically driven woman potentially slated run against a pseudo-conservative politician whose only claim to fame is that he was captured in Viet Nam. I totally respect the fact that McCain served in Viet Nam- he did not run to another country (Clinton the Mr.), nor did he lie his way out (Kerry). I just do not believe being in Viet Nam or being a former necessarily makes you good president material. After all, Benedict Arnold was also a soldier. They have the skill of telling people what they want to hear whether it is true or not, whether it is practical or not.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. -2 Timothy 4:2-4 (ESV)
I believe that, as things stand right now, Barack Obama will be the next president. I can see him being the last president of the United States. If the congress of the USA and the president are equally ignorant and unconcerned with the best interests of the nation as a whole how will we survive?
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. -James 3:13-16 (ESV)
The democRATS and republicans leave us no one to vote for. No third party stands a chance with the way the two main parties have tilted things. There are no statesmen left. There are few who stand for what is right and shun evil. What is wrong is considered right: murder of unborn children, homosexuality, promiscuity, gossip, greed, hatred... the list goes on.
It is a sad state. It may be the end of an era just ahead of us.
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter! -Isaiah 5.20 (ESV) Labels: Politics, USA, Warning |
