To all of our 'elected' and bought officials I say you are a den of thieves to whom Christ would not hesitate to drive from the temple. You espouse a philosophy of cruelty and hate and claim to have the 'best interests' of the country at heart. Humbug. You are servants of lies and deceit. You have condemned the children of our nation to a life of servitude and debt. You have allowed the interests of corporations to override the interests of the citizen. You have betrayed the very spirit of the American Revolution. You are a pox upon this nation and I say may God have mercy on you - for you have certainly forgotten the lesson of Job. Job? You don't remember Job? He, the one - through no fault of his own - was laid low by the Lord to test his faith. He was oppressed and the leading citizens spat upon him. He never left the blessings of the Lord God - but all believed he deserved what he received. No, he did not deserve any such thing. He was the one that was most faithful until the end. For 50 years we had created a society where true poverty would not happen. And in 8 years you have destroyed it. The Debtors Prison bill, the Strip Court Protections Act, the propensity of hate-filled legislature that is being pushed through Congress to be signed by a man filled with anti-Christ spirit. For Christ taught us compassion and love - not hate and greed. Capitalism is not a 'Christian' ideal - nor is Communism or Socialism. No 'ism' is - we are to care for one another. Love one another, as Christ loved us. And when we do not do this, we condemn ourselves and our children. I pray that your eyes may be opened to the damage you do and that you will repent from your evil ways. And make no mistake, those that follow the path of greed are on a path to perdition. There is no other outcome. May God open your eyes and your hearts so that you might see and be saved. So much is wrong in our society now that I don't even know where to start.
God, alone, has the answer, and He did not choose GW Bush as the answer. I am certain of that in a way that I have not been certain of anything in many, many years. I am amazed at how blinded the populace has become. I despair for my country - for I love this land of my birth - of my families heritage. Of my family's blood. I am a part of this land - entwined within it. I am ashamed of what my fellow citizens have allowed to happen once again - and worse and worse now than then. The Founding Fathers would be ashamed and horrified by what we have become. Who we have allowed to control our government by our own lack of vigilance - and lack of virtue. It takes vigilance and virtue to keep a Republic. I fear that Benjamin Franklin's warning is true and we are at the brink of losing all. Pray that we might be delivered from the hands of these deceivers who have slowly overtaken our government. Pray that we will not destroy the world through our inaction and laziness in the electoral process. Pray. Pray. Pray. There is no other answer at this point. Pray that all the lies in Washington DC come to see the light of day. For that is a den of serpents and liars. Pray that the people will do what God wills us to do and not what is easy. Pray for the peace of Christ.
