What cha gonna do when the end times comes?

2 Timothy 3:

1BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]. 2For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. 3[They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good. 4[They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God. 5For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them]. 6For among them are those who worm their way into homes and captivate silly and weak-natured and spiritually dwarfed women, loaded down with [the burden of their] sins [and easily] swayed and led away by various evil desires and seductive impulses. 7[These weak women will listen to anybody who will teach them]; they are forever inquiring and getting information, but are never able to arrive at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth. 8Now just as [a]Jannes and Jambres were hostile to and resisted Moses, so these men also are hostile to and oppose the Truth. They have depraved and distorted minds, and are reprobate and counterfeit and to be rejected as far as the faith is concerned.(A) 9But they will not get very far, for their rash folly will become obvious to everybody, as was that of those [magicians mentioned].

10Now you have closely observed and diligently followed my teaching, conduct, purpose in life, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11Persecutions, sufferings--such as occurred to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra, persecutions I endured, but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution [will be made to suffer because of their religious stand]. 13But wicked men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and leading astray others and being deceived and led astray themselves. 14But as for you, continue to hold to the things that you have learned and of which you are convinced, knowing from whom you learned [them],15And how from your childhood you have had a knowledge of and been acquainted with the sacred Writings, which are able to instruct you and give you the understanding for salvation which comes through faith in Christ Jesus [through the [b]leaning of the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness]. 16Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action), 17So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK (AMP).

Are we living in perilous times? The type people Paul is describing in chapter 3 of second Timothy could have existed at any period of time in world history. What makes people from other times in history so different from people who will be running things during the end times? Aren’t evil people evil in whatever time period? The difference today is the ability to communicate, influence, deceive and destroy on a scale never conceived of in all of man’s history. Today we have missiles and atomic bombs that can reach any part of the world, 24/7 cable TV and the Internet. The ability for one person to do evil is not limited to one area; he can carry it forth to the entire world in seconds. Today one man in power can affect outcomes in every corner of the globe. The internet is a great place for truth but it is also a great place for propaganda. It is through these mediums the message one day will go forth that all the world’s problems will be solved if we can just get rid of the Christians and the Jews. The world will respond and the persecution will be on.

But God knows this and that is why Paul is writing about it. God is not surprised or caught off guard. His plan began billions of years ago (billions for us, His is a timeless world) and He is fully prepared. We only need to get on board with what He is doing.

Paul ends this discourse on peoples in the end times with the declaration that the bible is the “Inspired” God breathed word of God. God through the Holy Spirit moved upon men to write down the word that was given to them in their spirits and what was written was to prepare every Christian for good works. What Paul is saying is that we need people who believe in the inspired word of God. We should be people who are inspired by the word of God and so inspired by the word that we will do good works.

What are the good works that Paul is talking about? Holy Spirit inspired works. The Holy Spirit inspired the men who wrote the Word and He is the power of the Word so it will do and accomplish the will and purposes of God. Jesus spokedmuch about how the Holy Spirit will be another comforter, another one like Jesus. Jesus instructed the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they were endued with power (the Holy Spirit) from on high. In the end times we will need more of the Holy Spirit than any other time in history. We need to have a super supernatural relationship with the Holy Spirit.

The end time relationship with the Holy Spirit will require us to have a deep intimate, knowing experience with Him. We need to be a totally unselfish, God first people, the opposite of the type of people in the world. We need sensitivity to His (Holy Spirit’s) leading, His instructions. We need to know how to walk in His power. We need to be like Elijah and Elisha, like the 70 that Jesus sent out to heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead and preach the gospel.

Some people believe that the Holy Spirit power at Pentecost was given just to get the church started and that once the Bible was complete that the gifts and miracles were no longer needed. But the opposite is true. We need the Pentecost power of the Holy Spirit even more for the end time’s church than ever before.

When it comes to the end times we are talking about the end times REVIVAL. The last revival will be greater than the first. Peter preached on that first Pentecost and 3000 people were saved. The last revival will see so many saved that 3000 will look like a small group. How did it happen on the first Pentecost? Through the power of the Holy Spirit. The end time revival will require even more dependence on the Holy Spirit. There will be more miracles, deliverances, healings and salvations than ever before.

In Africa there are evangelists who have gatherings of a million people or more and salvations in the hundreds of thousands. Those who get in line with the plan of God and accept the power of the Holy Spirit will see that take place in every continent in the world. We will see and participate in a move of God that has never been seen before.

I will soon be putting together a study on the authority of the believer and the power of the Holy Spirit for the end times. I believe the world is about to change. God is the real hope and change and I want to be a part of it. I want us all to be prepared.

Revival (part 3)

King Asa (2 Chronicles 15) did many good things that pleased the Lord. He cleansed the temple by tearing down altars and statues to other gods and even kicked his grandmother out of the palace (She was the Queen Mother) because she had Asherah poles that she worshiped.

When he went to war the first time he consulted with God through a prophet and God gave him a great victory. Later he decided to go to war but failed to consult with God. He asked another king to help him and proposed his own plan. God didn’t necessarily punish Asa for not consulting with Him, He just let him reap what he had sown. God said Asa would now be at war for the rest of his reign as king. Asa left God out of his plans so God decided not to be involved in helping him in any more wars and now he would have plenty of wars to think about it. Likewise if we choose to leave God out of our plans he will be quite obliging to let us continue on the path we started, without Him. That is what is much of what is happening to America today.

Why is revival so lacking amongst our great American churches? I believe because years ago God moved through America in various revivals movements and a number of the traditional dominations and churches shunned and rejected them because the movements didn’t fit their idea of how God was supposed to behave. Many churches have been taught and still firmly believe that when the bible was completed then there was no more need for apostles, miracles, healings and all the supernatural stuff. They believe that miracles, signs and wonders ended with the original apostles. The consequence of this is when the charismatic movement came in the 1970’s with signs and wonders they rejected it. When God moved through America with the worship revival in the late 1980’s they again rejected it and a number of years passed before they decided it was actually a work of God. Then when God moved in the early 1990’s in Melbourne and Pensacola, Florida, Toronto Canada and other places it was outright rejected even by some churches that had embraced earlier moves of God. These rejections of the different powerful moves of God have accumulated and the results are being reaped by America today. We are suffering the consequences of our own decisions. The many churches and denominations have chosen not to follow God when He revealed Himself to us because He didn’t follow their denominational beliefs. They chose to leave out the parts of God that didn’t suit them so He has let them go their own way.

We can sing “God bless America” all day long but look around at reality people. The churches are not growing. The percentage of Christians in America is down by 10%. Our government is run by an ungodly group of people who wish to eliminate all remembrance of Christianity. Our schools have been nearly purged of moral and spiritual teachings. Our economy is tanking, and the Gulf coast is having a disaster of epic proportions. A disaster that could destroy much of the aquatic life in the gulf and all the jobs that goes with it. And if we don’t get control and solve the debt crisis we will cease to be a nation, period. Our unfunded liabilities, social security, Medicare, etc is nearly 100 trillion dollars. That means every family in America is in debt through the government for one hundred and twenty thousand dollars each this year. That is one hundred twenty thousand dollars you and your children owe right now. Is your government adequately taking care of this problem?

Like Asa we have failed to depend on God. Like Asa we have failed to consult God and let Him fight our battles. Like Asa we have turned to men, influential preacher, politicians, etc. to solve our problems. Our Churches have failed. Our denominations have failed. Our leaders have failed. We have looked at moves of God and said that is not how we want do things. Now there is only one answer: each of our churches must humble themselves, pray and totally sell out to God. Don’t look to the past for the ways and means to do things. Don’t look to old traditions. Look to God with a new attitude and say to Him ‘whatever and however you want to do it God we will believe and follow you’. There will be a new revival soon. Will you continue to reject God and do your own plan, operate in the past and accept the status quo or will you embrace everything the new revival brings? Will I shed my old ways like sackcloth and old wineskins? Will I receive the new wind of the Holy Spirit, wear a new robe of repentance and drink from the new wine that the Holy Spirit pours out? Will I? Will you?

A revealing of the book of Revelations (Revival Part II)

If you read the book of Revelations in the bible at one place John says "the second angel sounded and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood: and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died." (Rev 8:8-9)

The aerial images of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill the globules of oil have the look of dried blood, a brownish red color. Could this have been the picture of what John was describing, a huge oil spill that covers a third of all the oceans of the world? As I write the Gulf oil spill is over 52 [revised from 40] days old and it is still gushing. It will be August before the relief wells are finished and a permanent fix is in place. All other methods to stop the leak have failed so far. If the leak continues for another sixty or eighty days it will affect the entire Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean. In other words the whole planet will be affected physically, economically and politically. This could be an ‘end of the world’ type catastrophic event. Was this the event John saw or one like it?

Many of the images that John described in Revelations can now be explained as descriptions of today’s modern weapons and technologies. The whole world getting to watch the death of the three prophets of God would only be realized after CNN broadcast images of the First Gulf War into every country of the world. Now it is a common thing to see world wide events develop live on our TV screens.

The stage is fully set for the beginning of the Tribulation and the return of Christ. There is nothing left to be done except have a great end time revival to win people to Christ and experience His return. Things will get much worst. The world as we once knew it may be passing away before our very eyes. The only thing we can do is to turn to God and trust in His word that we will be delivered through what ever event we will encounter.

Many churches are doing the same things they have been doing for the last one hundred years. They are still trying to live in the revivals from the 1800’s or early 1900’s. That will not cut it. The Holy Spirit is a pillar of fire. He comes and stays a while and then he moves on. Not a physical move but a spiritual one. We must go through one revival and move on to the next, not stay in the same place spiritually, not stay where we are and especially not go backwards to live in a past era of revival. Many mainline churches are still living in the past looking to their human roots. Trying to build on the foundations of men who once experienced God in a new way but then God moved on, some men followed the new move and some didn’t. The men who founded many of our churches in the 1800’s are not our foundation, Jesus is. Churches must leave the past behind them and start looking for a new beginning and when it is complete look for another one and then another one, where ever the pillar of fire goes we must follow.

Jesus said we would know when it is the end times. Whether it will be next week, next year or the next decade we are at that place where we must decide to put Jesus first in everything or suffer the consequences of clinging to a dying world that will soon be gone.

Do we cling to our old traditions? Do we cling to our old methods and habit? If our churches are not growing and experiencing the end time revival fire of the Holy Spirit we need to let go of those things and learn to listen and follow the lead of the Holy Spirit.

I was reading in the Old Testament where one of the kings who followed after the Lord went into the Temple and tore down Asherah poles, incense altars and other idols that his father had erected. I was wondering; have we not also built up idols and altars to other gods in our churches, blending the pagan world with the church? Have we not made idols of people, their teachings and methods? Have we not made idols of traditions to the point that our traditions are more important than people? Have we not seen churches rejected by their denomination because (gasp) they didn’t follow tradition. Have we not seen denomination choose to follow the publicly correct rules of men rather than follow God? Are they not desecrating the church of God just as the Temple was desecrated?

It is time to purge the Churches. If we don’t do it ourselves God will do it for us. It is time to get back to the basics of following and worshipping God and God alone. It is time for pure revival, a revival with the energy, fire and power of the Holy Spirit. The church must end in power just like it began, a supernatural one.

America needs Revival

I was watching Glenn Beck last night (May 25^th, 2010) and he presented a number of video quotes as he calls it “in their own words”. The phrase “Global Governance” was repeated over and over by the president, many of his cohorts, union leaders and others. The understanding you get is that all these people intend on moving us towards a single world governing body whereby we will no longer chose or elect those who will rule over us and govern us.

The example we currently have is Greece. The country has gone belly up financially. It is now essentially being controlled by the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The IMF, by bailing out Greece, can now tell Greece what and how to run their country because they are now servants of the lender; who is Europe. Greece no longer controls its own destiny.

The main Marxist goal in America is to destroy capitalism and bring us into a greater global governance. The way to do that is to revise American history, destroy faith in God and eliminate the Constitution. Much of the history in our schools has been rewritten by the leftists. They are blatantly ignoring the Constitution and with the media’s help they are smearing Christianity as best they can. A number of churches are joining in with the government to further it's agenda. So what would be the coup de grâce for the Marxist? Bankrupt the country so there will be nothing left for us to recover from. America is currently 13 trillion dollars in debt and it is growing faster everyday. We will soon reach a point where our bond rating will be downgraded and the interest rate will go up. The debt will then grow ever faster. When will we reach the point of no return I don't know.

We will be in bondage to the Chinese, the IMF, whoever we owe money to. America will be done. America has fought so many battles and won but this time the battle is from within and without. There are so many fronts to this battle there is only one way to save her, we need a miracle from God.

Currently we are following many of the same trends of the great depression. On our current path we will soon be having 20-25% unemployment. People will have no homes, no food and no place to go for help. My mother told me of times as a child when she lived in a tent city during the depression and had to steal food off a vegetable train car in order to have something to eat. Can it be possible to experience that again?

[For more information on what is happening to us go to:

http://spectator.org/archives/2010/05/26/what-barack-obama-is-thinking
and http://townhall.com/columnists/MarybethHicks/2010/05/26/threat_to_parents_rights_a_bigger_issue_than_rights_of_a_child ]

If we do have another deep depression, if things do get worse before they get better, if they get better at all, then the churches will have to be ready. People will be looking for answers. People will be looking for help. People will turn to the church and we need to be ready.

The answers are not in government, nor is it in businesses, people or elected officials, although electing the right people will help. Beck correctly points out that the only real hope for America is to turn back to God. I one hundred percent agree. Turn back to God, easily said but how do we do it. How do we push back the tide of rising Marxism? Can we push back the coming Tribulation? If God is a keeper of His word and we obey His word then we can. The Tribulation comes when evil is fully manifested. If true spiritual revival comes to America and evil is pushed back then we can freeze the spiritual clock racing towards the end of time.

It was King Hezekiah (2 Kings:20) who was dying and prayed to God to let him live. God answered his prayer and gave him another 15 years. God also said “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. If we start doing things God’s way then perhaps we can give our children a chance to experience liberty and freedom for all of their lifetime.

The question is how do we have true spiritual revival? How can America have true spiritual revival? The first step is for the churches of true believers to lay aside all differences and return to the roots of the early  church. We need an early day Pentecost, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that physically affects believers and empowers them to bring others into the revival experience, the experience of knowing Jesus, His salvation, the Holy Spirit and the Father.

The original experiences with the Holy Spirit had physical manifestations, vocal expressions, joy and giddiness (they appeared drunk), they fell to the ground, buildings shook, people had visions and when the immediate physical experience was over they were difference inwardly. They had a power. They were bold with gospel, they had love for one another, they shared their belongings, and they took care of one another. Also shared among them were the supernatural gifts that God gave so his body on earth would be like Jesus as He was when He was upon the earth. A true Pentecost type revival will bring the supernatural God down to earth to work through the hands, mouths and feet of His believers, the Church.

The revival need not to be a one time event either. Several revivals I know of started in the early 1990’s and continue to this day. One has had revival meetings six days a week every week since their initial spiritual outpouring in 1993. A revival can be continuous.

We need a new revival; bigger in scope, wider in scale. The old line churches need to let go of their traditions and embrace a new thing, drink the new wine, become energized by a new fresh move of the Holy Spirit. This is not about saving your traditions, or our culture or our ordinary way of doing things; this is about saving our freedoms, our country and the spiritual and physical lives of our children.

How do we start a new revival? A revival that will spread across the United States, who, what, where, when, how? I don’t know but I will say Lord I’m willing send me. Will you join me?

Are you ready for the Tribulation

For years after my Christian conversion the big thing to preach and teach about was the coming seven year Tribulation period of the Bible. There were many books written about the mark of the beast (the number 666), a worldwide database on people’s personal information, a one world government and a one world currency. I even predicted it would happen around 2007 based on my understanding of bible math. I don’t think I was too far off. We are almost there.

The Tribulation period is the period of time just before Jesus returns and Satan and his appointed Beast (world leader) and Prophet run the world with almost supernatural abilities. During this Tribulation period all sorts of plagues, famines and judgments from God will torment the people on earth. The big question is; when will we know that the Tribulation has started? Many believe the Bible teaches that the believers will be raptured or taken away at the beginning of the Tribulation. That will be a good clear signal, no more Christians. The Bible says the Holy Spirit who restrains will be taken out of the way. Sin will run rampant and judgment will follow. The implication is that the Holy Spirit, who dwells in believers, when they leave His influence and the power in them will go with them. Thus the world will have unrestrained power of sin working in them. All unbelievers who have not chosen Jesus will suffer the consequences.

What about the world situation leading up to the Tribulation period. We are on the verge of a worldwide failing economy. Where there was once a Mutually Assured Nuclear Destruction theory that prevented countries from attacking each other there is now a Mutual Assured Economic Destruction at work in the world today and we are on the edge of falling in the abyss from which there is no recovery. As we watch Greece’s economy fail, all of Europe is in turmoil, because if the nations of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland continue to spiral out of control in their debt they will take Europe down with them.

America is quickly heading in the same direction. Whether it is intentional or not our leaders in the white house and in congress are taking us into a sea of debt and we may be close to the point of no return. If America fails economically the rest of the world is in jeopardy, freedom is in jeopardy and Christians are in jeopardy. What the Marxists in the world want is a one world government. This is how they think they will get it by destroying all remnants of capitalism and the capitalist economic system. This friends will be the end of the world as we know it. Between the Muslims and the Marxist the world will be thrown back into a modern dark ages. They each want to perfect the world in their own way. One will cleanse the world of all infidels the other will cleanse the world of non-Marxist. Both are evil and both want to rule the world.

In this period of time before Jesus returns and the rulers of darkness take over what will it be like? Will the whole world be like Greece with rioting, banks failing, currency failing. Will people be without houses and food? Will only the churches that have paid up debt be able to remain open? Are we ready for the pre-Tribulation period? Are you ready for the pre-Tribulation period?

First thoughts are usually like “do I have enough money saved up” but what good is money if the currency fails, which it will. Our first thoughts are usually about the physical things but it had better quickly turn towards the spiritual. To be ready for any tribulation period, past, present or future requires that our faith and trust in God be our top priority in life. Our knowledge of the Father and Jesus, who we are in Christ and our spiritual strength, will be the most important things we will have. Our ability to depend on and listen to the Holy Spirit guiding us who will help us through each day, one day at a time will be crucial.

The coming crisis will not be about how well you prepared economically but about how well you are prepared spiritually. Are you ready? Is your church ready? Are you even getting ready? Does your church have a plan as to how you will be able to help one another? A God inspired plan of support and encouragement? Do you have a God inspired plan that will have you ready to go with Jesus if he comes soon and ready if he comes later?

There is a song from the 1980’s with the title “Time to get ready”. Well guess what? The time is now. And soon the time may be “too late”.

A Nuclear Free World

The president has a vision of a nuclear free world. It goes along with the utopian vision of a world without guns. Taking away nuclear weapons from countries that support freedom and peace is the same as taking away guns from honest, law abiding citizens. Only criminals will have the guns and in a nuclear free (idealistic) world only bad guys will end up with the nuclear weapons. Imagine what the world would be like if we took away guns from all the police and armies of peace loving nations. Would we all be sitting around singing songs and living happily ever after? Probably not. Criminals would run amok. There would be all kinds of dictators, war lords, cartels, gangs, etc. trying to get power and rule over people because they would have illegal guns and weapons while the good folks won’t. The little men running Iran would be chomping at the bit if we destroyed all our nuclear weapons. The world would be at the mercy of men like that.

The other problem with nuclear weapons is that to perfectly eliminate them you would have to eliminate the knowledge of how to build them. Does that sound like a realistic solution? How do you purge knowledge? I know of some who tried. Stalin, Mao and Hitler.

The best deterrent for peace is that the good guys have the biggest sticks, the most sticks and know how to use it.

The Civilization Game

Did you ever play the computer game “Civilization”? I never did actually but my son did play it quite a bit before he was old enough to know about driving, girls and all that silly stuff. Civilization was a realistic game about building a civilization, surviving the attacks and problems and finding out what happens when you decide to change your little world from one type of government to another. Usually the transition from one from to another involves anarchy: a state of society without government or law; political and social disorder. In the game, out of the disorder you would build a new form of government.

The Cloward-Piven strategy (google it), two political activists/sociologists in the 60’s, created a plan to bring down our current government by overloading it with government dependency, welfare and debt. This would destroy the current government, as in lets have some anarchy, and their plan was that out of the anarchy they would create a new wonderful totalitarian government and we would all reside in a blissful, utopian and godless world. In the past this kind of transition (Russia, China, Viet Nam, etc,) has cost a few lives, like 100 million or so.

It is strange to see that this kind of plan is playing out already in Greece where a socialist democratic styled government is actually failing because of its dependency, welfares and debt. We see the riots (anarchy?) in the streets because the poor people (spoiled, dependent people and union workers) don’t want to lose all their benefits and be required to work and earn the same as the rest of the people.

But Greece is a future picture of where America is going. The liberals, progressives, Marxist minded democrats and now Obama have been fulfilling the Cloward-Piven strategy gradually over the last forty years and they are now bringing it to a head. The idea to fundamentally change American into a socialist state and like Greece we are moving full speed ahead. They want everyone to be dependent on or controlled by governement. Their plan is to take us as far and as fast as they can so we, the people, cannot bring it back. Of course they are just the pawns in this game. Once we fail like Greece is failing then anarchy will happen and the real players in this game will take over. Whether it is a George Soros, or some other power broker, someone will step up and have all the answers to bring peace and tranquility to the world. We will hear the “Ta-dum, Here I come to save the Day” song.

The bible knows all about this person. It calls this person the antichrist. Soros is behind a lot of this fundamental change in America. He is pushing to change the whole world to a Marxist utopia using his billions that he earned in our free market system. He is funding millions of dollars to many different socialist, communist groups in America in his attempt to bring us down. He is sort of the ‘I got mine, I want all the rest so I can sit on it’ idea. He is the typical world domination type we read about in spy stories. Where is James Bond when you really need him? You know, good guy versus the world domination, rich billionaire, etc kind of thing. We’ve watched it in the movies, now we get to experience it.

If America fails then the whole world will also fail because all our economies are tied together. The stage will be set for the bible prophecies to be complete. A one world ruler, a one world government versus a one world religion, Muslim, and the battle of Armageddon will then center on Israel. Israel will not give in to either one. It will be the western world government versus the eastern world religion in a battle that will be the end of us all.

Do we sit by and do nothing and say “if it be God’s will?” or can we actually change the big plan by our prayers and our actions. America is not gone yet. There is still hope. I imagine that the future looked just as bleak in the 1760’s as it does today. The founders of this country fought against all odds and won because God was on their side. God is still on our side. His word says so (Romans chapter 8). But we must first unite in prayer and then in actions that line up with God’s word and our prayers. We can change America to be better that it was before. We can change it back to a real Christian Nation without having anarchy. This is not a computer game and I don’t want to lose.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead

Just think about it. We hired a man to run this country whose only real experience is being a change agent. The job of a community organizer is to change the community. Enlist and activate people to make changes by political means. Is it no surprise that all he is doing is changing things in the only manner he knows how? He does not know how to be an administrator. He does not know how to manage and definitely does not know how to deal with a crisis. He primary method, as we have all seen, is to make speeches to incite people to action by blaming or demonizing someone or some group. This was his tried and true method as an organizer and that is what he thinks he is good at. We see this every time he speaks. His world is so small that he is incapable of thinking outside of that box. The utopian goal is the most important thing to him. Not national defense, not jobs or the economy, not disasters, life and property. To him the only obstacle is the Constitution. Go for the goal, change and more change, as fast as you can change. Change, that is all he knows.

One writer asked the question, what are we changing to? What will America look like when they are finish changing? Who knows? I'm not sure they even know. They are Progressives. As long as they are progressing somewhere they don’t care what the end results are. Just keep progressing and make more changes, “damn those torpedoes, full speed ahead”.

Getting a Picture of the Debt

I was playing with some numbers trying to get a handle on the national debt. A 13 trillion dollar debt would cost each family about $130,000 before interest. If we were to accumulate no more debt and pay off the 13 trillion dollars (that is $13,000,000,000,000 written out) over a 30 year period just like our home mortgage that would cost each family about $1000 a month. The interest would be nearly 26 trillion dollars. That is money that most likely will not be put back into the economy; it will go to foreign nations, mostly China.

Another way to put it; the loss of jobs each year just to pay off the debt would be about 8 million, a way of saying 8% permanent unemployment. Which also means the 8 million out of work will not be paying their fair share so the burden will be continually shifting up the ladder to the working families. With the government wanting to take an even greater share away from working families by increasing taxes, that will mean more and more money will be taken out of the economy and greater unemployment. Can you see why socialist nations like Greece and France have a permanent 20% unemployment rate? And we think 10% is really bad.

The answer for this mess is simple, so simple a cave man could understand it. Quit spending, cut cost, make government smaller and increase our economic base by cutting taxes to release money into the productive economy. We need a pro-growth economic policy not a share the wealth policy to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

The doom and gloom is if we don’t do these things to eliminate the debt then America will cease to exist. This is what we MUST do if we want America to continue.
