And Jesus said:

Mat 6:13 "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."

Mat 10:34 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."

Mat 12:39 "... An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it ..."

Luke: 22:36 "Then said He unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."

Rom 13:4 "... But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."

Luke 12:49 "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I if it be already kindled?"

Oh lordy, lordy ... another rant ...
I suspect we all feel "it" coming, from what direction and from what source remains to be seen. I'm not Christian as Christians recognize: "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour?" is a question I do not answer Yes to, but I recognize that the King James Bible contains wisdom beyond "religion". It forms the foundation of the culture I live in and all that I do believe ... and when it comes down to it, I will stand with those - who tend to be Christian of supposedly Republican belief - attempting to protect America against those who hate and wish to destroy it, the socialist Marxist Muslims (Democrats).

Not that Republicans are the good guys ... (nor are the judges or preachers. Consider the Catholic pope for example)
Both political parties need to be thoroughly destroyed ...

There is no "voting" out of this; it's fight or submit - either way will not be pleasant. Many will die, much will be destroyed. I fear this summer may see the flames begin if they haven't already; I fear the Democrats - "fear" not as in "afraid of" but fear of the loss of what might have been, fear of the uprising that will come from either the Ds losing ... or worse, the Ds winning.

My solution? Keep my head buried in the sand as long as possible.
La-dee-da-da - everything's fine, wonderful, and as things should be.

I've already cut back on the number of "news" sources I once read - it's basically the same thing day-after-day. I can't control it, I can't do anything about it ... and I've spent all my life observing what good protesting does (none) - even the stuff I want to believe is full of lies and misdirection. So I'll try to ignore it (with one eye constantly on alert)

Until that is no longer possible and the 4th box comes out of storage.
