<p>You didn&#8217;t seriously think that Christians actually believe the things they say did you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Her corpse has begun to swell and stink.</p>
<p>The evidence:</p>
<ul>
<li> Politicians barely even give lip service to true liberty. Most of those who do demonstrably have no understanding of the word.</li>
<li> The citizens are whiny dependents intent on ensuring everyone is as badly treated as they believe themselves to be.</li>
<li> Government at every level ignores the law almost at will.</li>
<li> Officers sworn to &#8220;protect and serve&#8221; are frequently just another criminal gang fighting over turf.</li>
<li> No conscious, competent citizen can live through a single day without breaking multiple laws, and the most intelligent person could never hope to understand even a small part of our laws even if he dedicated his entire life to the study.</li>
<li> The job market is flooded with degrees, but very little capacity for thought.</li>
<li> The looters vastly outnumber the producers.</li>
<li> There is a real possibility that the President is not eligible for his office.</li>
<li> Politicians and media are intent on importing as many illiterate, welfare-dependent foreigners as they can before the native Americans wake up to their treachery.</li>
<li> The economy is in the toilet due to ubiquitous corruption and government interference. The government&#8217;s response? More corruption and interference. The people&#8217;s response? Demand more corruption and interference.</li>
<li> Everything, everywhere is monitored, cataloged, and cross-referenced.</li>
<li> China is on the rise and we can&#8217;t sell our country, our infrastructure, and our jobs to them fast enough.</li>
<li> We are militarily over-committed.</li>
<li> Every military victory is either pyrrhic, fleeting, or fraudulent.</li>
<li> Our military is flooded with foreigners.</li>
<li> The news media, those so-called guardians of freedom, are engaged in a constructive conspiracy to ensure actual freedom is never again experienced in this country.</li>
<li> We murder our children, while crying about the trampled rights of frogs and cattle.</li>
<li> Women and children truly rule over us.</li>
<li> The family, the very core of our civilization, is under incessant attack from politicians, courts, the press, entertainers, and corporations.</li>
<li> Everyone knows certain truths about sex, race, and religion, but if you dare to speak those truths, you will be fired, sued, shunned, and possibly even imprisoned.</li>
<li> And on and on and on.</li>
</ul>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it: America is dead and there is no other people prepared to take her place. It is too late to save her. Don&#8217;t bother asking how we can restore our rights. Don&#8217;t bother spending all your savings on a good man&#8217;s election campaign. Who cares who&#8217;s running the train when it&#8217;s already derailed? Forget all that. It&#8217;s a waste of your breath and resources.</p>
<p>Ask yourself this question instead:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">How should we now live given our current circumstances and the likely course of future events?</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started smelling smoke on Sunday. Texas is in the midst of its worst drought in recorded history, fires are raging all over the state, and the <a href="http://newsworldwide.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/as-wildfires-rage-across-texas-feds-take-control-and-scuttle-volunteer-firefighters/">federal government has told the volunteer firefighters to go home</a>: We have it all under control.</p>
<p>Thousands of scorched acres and hundreds of burned homes say otherwise.</p>
<p>What they say loud and clear is that Ron Paul is right about FEMA and the federal government&#8217;s mismanagement of, well, everything.</p>
<p>I realize that it wasn&#8217;t FEMA who sent those firefighters home. It was the U.S. Forestry Service, the same bunch who is letting firefighting planes sit idle on the ground. It&#8217;s all the same, though. Federal alphabet soup bureaucracies who invariably do more harm than good.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A staunch opponent of Ron Paul in <a href="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/08/24/ron_paul_presidency/index.html">the comments at salon.com</a> wrote,</p>
<blockquote><p>All rights come from the government, which is created by the governed to supply them with those rights. There is no such thing as &#8220;individual rights&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>Since there are no individual rights, this parasite won&#8217;t mind if we decide he shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to vote, hold any office, teach, have children, or be in charge of anything, anywhere, anytime. Since the purpose of government is to give us batteries our rights, then it only makes sense to deny any rights to those who would use government to deny them to the rest of us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my memory, Republican administrations have frequently lied and tried to cover up their shenanigans with alibis, paper trails, and planted evidence. Democrat administrations have frequently lied and then tried to cover up their shenanigans with bigger lies and a little ridicule and name calling. Clinton was a master of the Big Lie, which is a lie so big and blatant  that people believe it because they can&#8217;t believe anyone would really  tell it. I&#8217;m beginning to think the R&#8217;s have too much faith in the American people because this tactic has worked remarkably well for the D&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Obama (or whoever is speaking for and through him) has shown himself to be much worse than Clinton, but without Willie&#8217;s charm. The campaign promises, the certification of live birth, the birth certificate, the killing of Osama bin Laben&#8230;all so absurdly transparent that I find myself admiring the newscasters who can repeat the lies with a straight face. This administration is like the 3 year old with chocolate smeared across her face and hands denying she ever touched the cookie jar. We may never know the real truth about any of those things, but we can be absolutely certain that it won&#8217;t come out of this white house.</p>
<p>Who&#8217;s the biggest loser? The astoundingly incompetent cabal running the country? Or the schlemiels who continue to support it?</p>
