The vast majority of Americans have done nothing to prepare to protect themselves or their loved ones. They are totally absorbed in chasing success (as defined by others) and frivolous pursuits (texting, cell phones, selfies, sports, TV, Facebook, Twitter etc.).<br /><br />I've been praying for years and will continue. But I fear God may have already passed judgement on this wicked nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-28516463130081158762016-05-29T01:31:09.587-04:002016-05-29T01:31:09.587-04:00Excellent view on today's world and the USA.

I have thought for some time that good men and women rising against the tide of destruction that has descended upon our country will be the only way to turn the tide back to normalcy and civility. Our political processes have failed, our leaders have failed and that only means God respecting people who know right from wrong need to stand and fight the tide. God Bless those of us who will fight for our beliefs and country because dark days are coming.Capt.

So much of this is Spiritually ascertained, the gift of which is given to those who seek - with their whole heart. This nation led for many years as a shining light, and then; arrogantly, turned its back on God. Squandering its blessings, and the undeniable gifts of so many wondrous and varied things and thinkers; the nation began to think itself god... following its lead, much of Christendom did the same. As was ever thus, Scripture provides those with eyes to see and ears to hear, a solution that I wonder will be 'discovered' by the lost, in time to save what is remaining, and perhaps rebuild...<br />"If My people who are called by MY Name, (1) will humble themselves and pray, and (2) seek my face and (3) turn from their wicked ways...<br />THEN...I will hear them from Heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land..." <br />Of course, eventually we get to the part about "every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess..." Perhaps that is why we have the verse in Matthew, regarding the narrow gate. <br />Thank you for sharing brother. You are not alone. Thankfully, reading this and the replies, reminds me I am not either.Grandpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09158483728431605373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-7889558740956981342016-05-27T15:48:15.096-04:002016-05-27T15:48:15.096-04:00Grimly well put.

Our society has become so soft and decadent, that it can no longer be satisfied with just the opportunity and freedom to succeed, but now childishly demands its wants be gratified now! Worse, it is bored with the current blessings of materiel abundance, that our forebears could only dream of. Too many now want their deviant lusts be publicly accepted and applauded--After all, it's ALWAYS about THEM.

I understand wh...I am not young but not dead, yet. I understand what you are saying. The real issue starts with, the ONLY way to deal with a "bully" is "fight back". That is the ONLY thing that stops them. I recently watched a very "SAD" movie on Netflicks that was about a teen (probably in Detroit, where it was filmed, part of the Communist/Socialist State of MI). I kept talking to myself about how we have been prohibited from being "Parents" and religated to "Friend" status. The "Legal System" has managed to "steal" our children from us by giving them power over their Parents. As I went through childhood, I remember NO suicides of young people and no children being beaten to death (or a pulp) by their parents. There were no killings of others in our schools. Then Parents were "removed" from influence. This has happened incrimentally and steadily. It appears to be a very successful "divide and conquer" approach. Bullies need a "bloody nose" not counselling. The "feel-good" approach has failed miserably. <br /><br />It is OUR COUNTRY and WE must stand up. The real issue is where and how does this start? I will fight but have NO desire to be a martyr, to no end. How does this start? I am not a real enthusiast of Mr Trump but will back him, whole heartedly. Should he lose, the system will have been "fixed". The only others in the Field are either a Criminal (I don't accept that she has NOT been idicted as a cover) or a Communist/Socialist (this is an honest description of what the others are). If he does not do what he has said, perhaps, that will be the final "blow" to OUR system. Will that be the "igniter" of the PEOPLE that want to be FREE? Enough!Exringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123289463769836112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-60181259902459282952016-05-27T08:47:44.361-04:002016-05-27T08:47:44.361-04:00I’ve re-read and re-re-read your Thursday blog, an...I’ve re-read and re-re-read your Thursday blog, and I discover I have neither the acumen with words, nor the wisdom to add to it. To me, your words are gifts of confirmation. And I see you received some really good comments. <br />But let me say I think you fudged just a little bit with “…luck it will be out of my system.” That could be taken to mean you lay down your arms in the face of the enemy as it continues to debauch our society and culture. That’s not Francis I’ve come to know by his words and obvious Faith.<br />I have a friend, John, from New Jersey …a tough individualist, a true American. For fifteen years we worked side by side. Recently he said, “Nothing will keep me away from Mass every day.”<br />Sometimes the tough guy waxed poetic when he opened up his heart to me.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795222563523474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-20552160236021535562016-05-26T15:37:21.796-04:002016-05-26T15:37:21.796-04:00Your words are a worthy contribution, sir.

From LoTR: the city contains the GOPe, the mainstream Republicans, and the "conservatives". <br />The orcs are the left - the SJWs, the BLM, La Raza, and all the other "identity groups", the communists, socialists, and globalists. <br />The riders of Rohan are the forces of Trump, American nationalists, and the alt-right. <br />The giant elephant battle beasts are the Main Stream Media.

Collectively, Western man is like Igor the Hunchback (Marty Feldman) in "Young Frankenstein" when Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) asks him how he got his hump. Igor replies, "What hump?" <br /><br />Name one area of public life that isn't saturated with "thinking" that represents a wholesale flight from the most obvious facts imaginable.<br /><br />Stop bombing Syria, stop arming and funding al Qaida and ISIS in Syria, and provide for refugees in place? Hah. The war against Assad (for secret reasons) must continue and millions of primitives must be transported to the European and American homeland. <br /><br />Admit that the civil rights revolution has lead to utter disaster for America? Hah. Call down the wrath of the gods on the white (racis') patriarchy for even suggesting such an obvious fact.<br /><br />Close the border to stop the inundation of white America by the third world? Jamais! Whites lead the charge to keep it open.<br /><br />Think in your heart of hearts that you're a giraffe? Celebrate our diversity!Col. B.
