Pondering the machinations of those on the left side of the political spectrum is a daunting task, at best. Having marginally been on that side at one time, I decided to revisit my reasons for my semi-liberal choices. That was almost as daunting as my original pondering, but I finally realized that what attracted me to that side was the "anything goes" attitude of those raggamuffin hippies of yore.

It wasn't so much that they didn't believe government didn't belong in the abortion, free-love (which isn't free and comes at great cost) venues, it was just the opposite. They didn't want to leave government out of the mix, they wanted our government, founded on Biblical truths, values and principles, to do a complete 180 legislatively and judicially.

Since the late 1960s, I've watched the left chip away (with large, ungodly chisels) at everything sacred and decent about the United States. Our churches and synagogues became social clubs, our schools became government training grounds for the atheists and other anti-God miscreants, and our families were shredded into barely recognizable remnants of the families in which we spent our childhoods. Mostly, God, in the eyes of many Americans, became whatever they wanted Him to be, notwithstanding how He defined Himself in Scripture. Right about now, God should be suing all of us for defamation.

Adding insult to injury, when those He rescued from spiritual rebellion, finally were right with Him, we didn't fight back. We sat by complacently thinking it couldn't get worse, but it did. Repeatedly, we told ourselves that the worst was over and our children would come to their senses. After all, we were raising them properly. And while we said this to ourselves, we stopped going to church, stopped worshipping God (as opposed to Allah, the moon god), and embraced everything secular. We even believed that liberal lie that the Founders really did put "separation of church and state" into our Constitution (unless you live in California where only Judeo-Christianity is targeted while Islam is taught to school children).

In a nutshell, "we the people" blew it big time; and then we blamed government for all the ills that were spawned in California and made their way east . . . even into the Bible Belt.

Finally, they told us that God died. Yes, indeedy, the God of the Bible, the Creator of the Universe had finally packed it in, and they said we were well rid of Him and His pesky Son and the Holy Spirit. After all, who needs them now that we've become enlightened? Morals? Forget it. Morals are relative, they said, to whatever we want, to whatever the situation reveals. Absent solid standards of morality, they created an atmosphere in which we drifted like garbage floating in a polluted river.

And now, many of us who pray daily, pray often, pray from the heart are left to hope to the God they said was dead that it's not too late to save a few more sick souls from a bad ending. We pray that it's not over for the United States. We pray that God will intervene and set us ALL spinning back in His direction. Unfortunately, like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, there is still rebellion in the wind and God's competitors are still arguing about who will reign supreme.

Rumor has it that this competition is fierce. According to that bastion of  brotherly love and charity (unless you're Caucasian or Jewish, etc.), Louis Farrakhan, and Bill Ayers (who dedicated his book to Lucifer), Jesus isn't needed anymore because we have Barry "The One" Obama. Oh the thrill the left feels when they talk about their newly crowned messiah who will lead them into a new America that will bear no resemblance to anything godly. Nope, that's not what they want and there's one good reason: SIN.

With God--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--acknowledgement of sin means realizing that anything God wouldn't do, that we do, is sin. Not so with Barry. Sin, to Barry, is a whole new deal that's in direct contravention to the Scriptures.

I haven't read one word in the Bible about race warfare, have you? Or abortion being godly? I haven't read one word about stealing elections to win because winning is the name of the game. I haven't read one word about lying being acceptable to get the gold ring. But that's exactly what their new, improved messiah deems acceptable. The left finally has a "god" who will let them do as they please while he and they persecute the rest of us. They have a "god" who will destroy all that is good while blaming "we the people" for the destruction. They have a "god" who will make Bill Clinton look like a walk in the park.

The left needs a created messiah because the real one--the Creator, Jesus (Yeshua)--demands more than their pride and arrogance will permit. He asks them to repent for their sins--sins that have nothing to do with the pitiful political sludge spawned by Obama and his cabal: Wright, Ayers, Farrakhan, et al. (Odd that Islam says it's not a sin to do anything that advances the cause of Islam: killing, murdering, rape, lying, stealing, bombing . . . the list is probably endless. Yep, just say you're advancing Islam and it's suddenly acceptable.)

Should the "O" win the election--and lest God (the real one) intervenes--it's going to be tough times for those who won't follow the great "O." I'd say "take his mark," but I'm still not certain that he's the anti-Christ. Close, but maybe not. However, he's not the God I worship and I do hope he forgives me for not voting for him. I just can't advance his causes because they run contrary to everything my God--the one I pray will bless America--said in His Word.
