Can political favor be purchased for market gains and means?
Is the President of the United States now the de-facto Chairman of the Board of GM?
Hand-waving and political gamesmanship won’t do, because it is part of the process.
Fascism – we’re already there.
BTW – Obama’s fascist popularity is not centered around nationalistic war, but cultural war. I’m certain similarities to other fascist leaders will easily be found if one is willing to look.
Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit points out what others are beginning to see – there is something most bizarre with the increasing adoration of The One® (pbuh), highlighted in this blog post:
Numerous abortion-choicers are confused about the extent of almost the entire pro-life community’s mourning over the election results; to them it was simply an election. Across pro-life blogs there is a grave concern, but how do you summarize this? The words most clearly expressing the event come from terminology used in Gonzales vs Carhart:
The thin bright line has moved outside the womb.
Can it ever be the same?
The law itself has not changed, but then again it has.
We are the law. If you want to describe a living breathing document – then the Constitution, as a set of principles, is found within us.
So what has happened in the US is that life – all life has now become suspect, because we have elected a chief executive who cannot tell the difference between right and wrong – indicating we ourselves do not know the difference.
It’s like entering a delusional state where the mind disconnects from reality, and the concern is on the “idea” and not the outworking of that “idea” in the real world.
If Born Alive protections do not cover any child “born alive” then we have to include all those of us who’ve been born alive.
A simpler way – anyone and everyone is fair game for death.
As I walked, I crossed another of Washington’s secret frontiers. There had been a few white people blowing car horns and shouting, as the result became clear. But among the Mexicans, Salvadorans and the other Third World nationalities, there was something like ecstasy.
They grasped the real significance of this moment. They knew it meant that America had finally switched sides in a global cultural war. Forget the Cold War, or even the Iraq War. The United States, having for the most part a deeply conservative people, had until now just about stood out against many of the mistakes which have ruined so much of the rest of the world.
Suspicious of welfare addiction, feeble justice and high taxes, totally committed to preserving its own national sovereignty, unabashedly Christian in a world part secular and part Muslim, suspicious of the Great Global Warming panic, it was unique.
These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of America’s conservative party – the Republicans – to fight on the cultural and moral fronts.
They preferred to posture on the world stage. Scared of confronting Left-wing teachers and sexual revolutionaries at home, they could order soldiers to be brave on their behalf in far-off deserts. And now the US, like Britain before it, has begun the long slow descent into the Third World. How sad. Where now is our last best hope on Earth? (CA- my emphasis)
Our last best hope is not a country, but a person.
He’s here – you just can’t see him if you don’t open your eyes and your heart.
I’ll save the suspense – he doesn’t believe he is, but he does draw some startling observations – one which can be found in another fascinating article on NRO, (not a group that’s given to over-the-top material), that describes a work of fiction from 1907 in England, that’s uncannily accurate regarding this current election:
I can’t imagine someone who may be called upon to be the President of the World, not devolving into a egotistical megamaniac, and sees himself as ‘god’.
Very plausible, but scary considering that when campaigning in Berlin, Germany (gee – that was the home of another mega-maniac) Obama was called the future President of the World by the narrator, right after his speech!
Here’s the recording – the commentary is mine alone.
After it was posted I realized I should have indicated that in the video, although Jill did so in her article.
There were two other pieces of legislation spoken of in the full recording I received – SB 1661, and SB 1662 which had minimal discussion, and passed without a problem, so I edited them out.
Given time constraints, I removed the audio at the end of the 1663, which covers the actual voting, and then a request for verification and an additional request for a Roll Call, which reset the vote because State Senator Klemm was missing. It appears Klemm voted for passage of the Bill, then left the chamber – causing the total yeas to drop by one and thus nullifying passage.
What caused Klemm to leave or whether he was even present is currently an unknown.
It’s from the Bible. Abraham’s nephew Lot was pulled from Sodom right before it was destroyed by fire. The prophets referred to those saved from destruction as being like one who is “snatched from the flames”.
If you’ve been thrufire - saved from destruction, then the Holy Spirit frees you to tell that story to glorify God.
There’s many people alive today because someone convinced a mother to save her child from the destruction of abortion. I want to tell the world their life stories. Want to help?
