The World's Going to Hell: Vol. I

This one's just priceless:

Ever get the feeling, like the movie title, "Something Wicked This Way Cometh"?

Well, it's actually from Shakespeare -- but we can let that slide.

We're spinning like a coin in the charity wells in Wal-Mart, faster and faster into an abyss where there doesn't seem to be any way out. Everything that's made our American culture exceptional has been attacked and/or destroyed.

We're so comfortable, believing our electeds — while a tad nefarious — are really patriots, true to their oaths, wanting the best for America, only to discover "traitors ... within the gate ... walking the halls of government," working to deconstruct our Constitution.

Deconstruct our constitution? When was Jacques Derrida elected to office?

Americans from all persuasions stopped the sellout last week, only to discover the Bush/Senate cabal are back. This is about merging Canada/Mexico/U.S. and open borders to help facilitate the "North American Union."

I do enjoy how the "North American Union" thing has replaced the "global government" conspiracy theory that seemed to be all the rage among the militia nut-jobs during the 1990s.

Now moving on...

How do we stop it? We've forgotten God as a people, and this legislation is another warning He won't be patient much longer.

The church was very active in the public square, until President Johnson used the IRS (1954) to silence dissent. It worked; the silence was deafening in 1962 (God expelled), 1973 (abortion) and 2007 (open corruption and treason in government) and we still can't hear you.

Jesus said "occupy till I come," not warm pews and conduct "bless me clubs" while smugly looking down our noses at the world. Is he or the IRS our master?

Bible Bingo moment of the post: Mark 12:17 -- "And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

We're at a "cross" road: "If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14.

Get it? "Cross" road. Bellin could have just said "In just a few moments will be passing through Crucification Junction." -- this would have been far more direct.
