There are times when one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at the happenings in the world around us. Our country continues its downward spiral from republic to empire to collapsed civilization. The messiah plots and schemes and advances his destructive agenda via thug politics and a complicit media. The opposition, mostly, baa and fret and baa some more. 
More and more of the economy falls under government influence while we lose more and more of our manufacturing base. Government spending multiplies and the only ways to sustain the folly are to print more money and borrow more money and seek new ways to confiscate the workers' money, whether it's called a tax or a fee or a surcharge, etc.
We seek to extend the empire overseas at the cost of American lives and countless billions. (How about we brings the troops home and tell the moors that the next time any Islamic terrorist attacks our country, we nuke Mecca and Medina - for starts - to be followed by the capital cities of every Muslim nation on earth. Do you think that would get their attention while saving our troops and the incredible fortune being squandered on multiple wars?) We fail to defend our border and fail to educate our children in the history of their country and the truths our founding fathers and early pioneers espoused.
Meanwhile the public is consumed with Chelsea Clinton's million dollar wedding and what American Idol judges are leaving the show and whether Mel Gibson or his ex lover is lying and whether Sarah Palin's daughter should reconcile with her former boyfriend, the list is endless...while the economy goes down in flames and the American 'experiment' teeters on the mountain top.
If we are to seek diversion from the hell that awaits, we should at least do it in a way that resembles concern about a legitimate subject matter, e.g. how about the crook Charlie Rangel, a congressman for several decades who has evaded taxes, misused funds, etc. while in charge of the committee that writes tax law, and who is still awaiting congressional action after two years of investigating his ethics. He claims he is Innocent while most democrats including the anointed one want him to disappear, and yet the farce goes on without the public or media demanding justice.
What the hell.
I am at a point where I am beginning to lose hope that America can avoid the fall. Saint Augustine said to decide between the City of Man and the City of God. Perhaps it's time to make a leap of faith and go with a sure thing.
Jesus said to "Fear not for I am with thee."
With due respect, He might have added, "and let the chips fall where they may."
