GOP Congress Critters would rather watch the USA die than give up Power and extreme Wealth

By Sher Zieve —

With ongoing acts of patent lunacy—or the darker reason…collaboration—the Republican-controlled US Congress refuses to remove the cancer eating away at Washington D.C. just as the Democrats have done for decades.  Instead, the aforementioned Congress seems to prefer the ultimate demise-for-lack-of-proper-care that will soon be the cause of death.  One of the primary reasons used as an excuse is the now cliché false fear of being called a “racist” if they oppose the country’s enslavement of its citizens with replacement of illegal ones and totalitarian leftist policies.  Note…at some point almost all politicians become leftists in order to enrich themselves and they begin to view their constituencies as “the great unwashed masses” who are beneath them.  They, then, begin to use any inane excuse to draw curious eyes away from what they’re really doing.  And, at some point it no longer matters on which side they pretend to be…because it’s the side that solely enriches them.

After passing the “Omnibus” bill—which already includes all sorts of snakes and vermin including, but not limited to, fully funding Planned Parenthood, ObamaCare and the resettlement of Syrians “refugees” and other thousands of assorted Muslims into our country—our replacements—Speaker of the House and Boehner clone Paul Ryan patted himself on the back for passing another bill in the House which eliminates ObamaCare and defunds Planned Parenthood.  Do you remember when Paul Ryan said that he’d wait to pass the omnibus bill until after a new POTUS is elected…then passed it in the middle of the night ala Harry Reid and the rest of the Marxist Dems?  I watched the video (see second Source below) and even Ryan seems to have difficulty not laughing (watch his facial expressions) when he states more of his own rather apparent lies.

As I’ve stated multiple times before, the USA is now under a one-party political system that has 2 heads which attempt to speak opposite messages in order to confuse and better control the proletariat.  Our Republic was replaced quite some time ago.  In the history of our country this has never been clearer than it is today.  Our Founders—including John Adams and George Washington amongst others—warned us about a 2-party political system.  Adams said:

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution”  while Washington followed with (in part) “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

“Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.”

“It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”

In my opinion, however, it is not necessarily a political party system that is to blame for our current enormous problems.  Rather, it is an electorate that—long ago—left the running of the federal government to the “professional” politicians…so that it could grow unchecked in power, wealth (ours) and scope and eventually encompass and subjugate us all.  It is also a citizenry which, in large part, turns up its collective nose and says “I don’t follow or get involved in politics” because it sounds worldly and urbane to do so or—perhaps more likely—because of laziness.  Governments built upon the concept of liberty, property ownership and the equality of pursuit of individual opportunity (to date only one comes to mind and that is the one now being summarily destroyed) cannot survive unless its citizenship becomes directly involved in its policy implementation.  When American citizens did become involved in government, organizations such as Planned Parenthood abortuaries and a Bureau of Land Management gone rogue (and for all intents and purposes is now a mercenary institution reporting to the highest bidder) would not be allowed to exist.  These—and other oppressive to the people that are now prevalent—would have been stopped in their tracks before their power became so great.

By now, most of us should be—and I believe are—fully awake to the clear and present dangers which face our country and us.  More and more are becoming active.  Keep it up, grow your numbers and we might actually be able—with courage and lots of work—be able to pull our country out of the Luciferian Left morass.  I don’t, however, believe we can do it with the vast majority of those currently in power.  Nothing less than a sea change is required.

We have our work cut out for us.  One thing about which we must remain cognizant is the vetting of our own candidates.  Vote for honesty in packaging of the candidate/candidates this time.  If they are caught in a few or many lies…don’t vote for them.  If they have supporters of Islam or other enemies of ours on their team…don’t vote for them.  If they have voted one way in Congress and now say they support the opposite side in order to obtain a State’s primary vote…don’t vote for them.  We don’t have any time left to support these sorts of candidate shenanigans.  No more “business as usual” can be tolerated.  Look at what we got the last time with a leftist media unwilling to vet their own candidate Obama.

Another step—and I believe the most important if America USA is to survive in any form at all—is to rededicate this country to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and to return to the principles upon which this country was founded.  For those who graduated high school after the 1960s, those principles do not and never did include slavery or suppression.  Remember that the “new” Obama-Principles do.  We’ve done it in the past and we can do it again.  It’s time to take our Stand against tyranny, folks, and time to take our country back…now!

“And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight”—Joshua 10:25

Franklin Graham: It’s open season on Christians in America

Franklin Graham is a voice crying in the wilderness.

“I believe we are perilously close to the moral tipping point for the survival of the United States of America,” Graham wrote in Decision magazine. “I refuse to be silent and watch the future of our children and grandchildren be offered up on pagan altars of personal pleasure and immorality.”

The Supreme Court has already redefined marriage. The nation has become a killing field for Islamic radicals. And Christians have become targets for practicing their First Amendment rights.

“There now exists deep-seated antagonism and hostility toward Christianity in every seat of power in this nation – government, media, courts and education,” Graham wrote. It has become open season on Christians.”

Instead of ignoring the rotting of America’s culture, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has decided to do something about it.

Earlier this month, Graham launched the “Decision America Tour,” a series of prayer rallies at the capitol buildings of all 50 states.

“The only hope for America is not the Democratic Party and it’s not the Republican Party,” Graham told me. “The only hope for America is God.”

I caught up with Graham just after his inaugural prayer gathering in Des Moines. More than 2,000 people turned out in frigid weather – to petition the Almighty.

It was one of the rare moments in Iowa where politicians were not recognized nor were they allowed to speak.

“If a candidate showed up – we’re not going to recognize them,” Graham said. “We’re not going to give them a microphone.”

That’s because “Decision America Tour” is not about politics.

“It’s trying to lead this nation in prayer, confessing the sins of our country, asking for God’s forgiveness and encouraging Christians to get engaged in the political process,” he told me.

Graham is doing what many young ministers refuse to do – address issues that some might consider to be politically incorrect.

He told me that while a number of older pastors understand the gravity of the situation, many younger pastors do not.

“The younger pastors – so many are caught up in the pop culture, and the pastor in a church is more about being cool,” he said. “We’re beginning to put theology in the back seat and I’m concerned about the church.”

And that’s when he dropped this evangelical bombshell.

“To be honest with you, the problems we have in America today are the failure of the church,” he said.

I reckon that comment just made a lot of folks start wiggling in the pews.

But Graham has a valid point.

The government has taken on many responsibilities that were once in the hands of the local church.

“The churches have allowed the government to take away their responsibility and so the government is feeding people, the government is clothing people, the government is now in charge of health care,” he said.

Graham expounds on this topic during our podcast interview – but the point he is making is clear. It’s time for Christians to re-engage the culture.

“We as a nation are in trouble and only God can fix it,” he said.
