To some new commenters… re: BHO and is he or isn’t he. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, does it?

Vigilance has always been demanded and evil comes in all guises. The key is to know who you serve and BE NOT AFRAID.

This is HOLY WEEK. I humbly suggest we USE and HONOR it as such.

Financially I think the next two or three months are our last best chance to trade paper dollars for physical gold.

Spiritually, same thing. Put aside false gods.

Whatever the world will look like in a couple of years, and it WILL be different, one can point to the public’s naive, blind acceptance of soothing blandishments from the media, politicians and financial “experts” and conclude that in general, people all went there willingly.

What is worse, I fear, is that even when the wheels are clearly coming off, it is common for people to cling to and justify their decisions by bending the truth, revising the evidence and trying to create distractions. Jesus’ friend Peter did it, so we should not be surprised when we learn that government economic statistics can not be trusted, or that AIG bonuses were pilloried so that the real issues would not dominate the headlines, or that the head of GM is told to step aside by the president of the United States.

It is this all too human behavior that will ensure that even when the extent of the mess is identifiable, nothing useful will be done.

Many storms coming, and storms within storms.

I am one of those who found your website just as you were hanging up your keyboard — I spent most of the weekend reading back through the past three months of entries with fascination. Like you, I have had this feeling that is growing stronger that something is brewing. For me it began with the tsunami. A teeny cloud on the horizon, and I began to keep watch. A year ago, I ended Lent with the conviction that I need to focus on teaching my children to pray, to love Jesus, to know scripture. Whether O is the anti or not, I believe a storm is getting very close. As a girl, I read many accounts of people who found themselves fleeing from nazis and communists, none of whom knew the day before that they were going to have to run for their lives.

This is the first time I have ever left a comment on any blog, but I feel compelled to add my opinion. I always believed that Clinton’s presidency was a prelude to show us how people would love and protect a leader who was truly amoral. This president shows us how people love and follow shallow feelings. These are all examples of what IS coming, and each one will be worse than the last until the culmination is complete.

[Welcome to the world of blog commenting, Virginia. I feel honored that you chose mine. To what you said: AMEN! -ed.]

It is all well and good to have watchers. Provided one remembers Juvenal’s question. “Who will guard these selfsame guards?”

The real problem that I have with this is that a side from not being needed, IMHO the constitution and existing law provide sufficient protections in both directions, is that if this had been proposed 4 years ago, the very people crying for this new “protection,” would have been leading the charge against it as an intrusive regulation and a sure sign that the administration was implementing a Fascist gag rule.

Well, if he’s not the antichrist, he is certainly good practice for the real thing. My fear, of course, is that he is not. If he is, we’re outta here, and soon, too. If he’s merely Soros’s idiot tool, we are in some deep, very earthly doo-doo.

[...] Ultraguy’s posts at New Wineskins with interest for quite a while, as he inches closer to outright saying that he believes Obama is the Antichrist. I think he’s wrong, not just for the reasons in this somewhat snarky post, but for other [...]

I’ve come to the conclusion that the Bush presidency was meant to be the last American presidency – the separating of the wheat and chaff.
