I’ve written about “Business As Usual” before.

This time I’m leaving the above statements hanging, for thought.

If you identify with any, or have a comment, please reply.

What does a passionate American patriot write the day before this election when we choose democracy or dictatorship?

Where do we get perspective?  I’ll tell you where I get my perspective.  I have two sources that serve me well, and they overlap in confirmation.

FIRST—–The Bible is relevant, like reading the perfect daily newspaper.

SECOND—–American Family Radio Talk at afr.net, and OneNewsNow.com  (just this moment, I hear that Marvin Sanders of AFR went to heaven this morning—he always gave anointed commentary on the world, and the most beautiful Christian perspective)

 

PERSPECTIVES

ONE—–Starting with the final perspective for all of us, I use a common phrase and a pointed illustration.  “Time, and Time, Again—and Then—Eternity”  If a million dollar bills make a stack as tall as the Empire State Building, and if a billion dollar bills make a stack to the moon and back several times, and America’s debt is 16 trillion dollars, then time is like a penny and eternity is like all the dollars in the world doubling every second.  “the parts that are for keeps” means “get Jesus, get saved, get heaven, get on His terms, get Him in charge,now”

TWO—–Casualties of war—and holocausts.  Young American lives lost in the wars of the past decade are comparable to the American lives lost in one day here at home before they are born.  Who is doing the killing in each case?  We must hold them equally responsible.

There was certain vindication when the Nazi murderers were brought to justice on the battlefield and in court.  The Justices in America and the President who appoints them must be brought to justice for supporting 50 million murders here.

Vote accordingly.

THREE—–In China, Mao agitated Chinese workers, and millions died, furthering Communism.  “Never let a crisis go to waste,” especially a crisis you created, for a purpose.  In America, BHOB* agitates for class unrest, and many will die here when the intended frustration on both sides hits the boiling point, soon.  “History repeats itself” is the consistent perspective.

Vote accordingly.

FOUR—–Skin color is not a choice.  Racism is a choice.

The true colors of a person are not determined by the color of his skin.

Anyone who makes an issue of skin color only confirms his own character color.

Vote accordingly.

FIVE—–I wonder how many of the people who arrange for dead people to vote, also believe in the Resurrection of Jesus.

SIX—–When Islamists and gay activists become militant, they reveal their true agenda and faulty premise, for all to see.  They both proceed incrementally for awhile.  But neither stops short of absolute power.

Vote accordingly.

SEVEN—–We have ample warning, if we’re paying attention.

“Vote for Revenge” is a current ad by BHOB*.

“Vote for Love of Country” is a current response ad by Romney.

Vote accordingly.

EIGHT—–Perspective on all things financial—personal and national:

You can forget the economic issues if God is not pleased.

Vote accordingly.

 

PRAY     PRAY     PRAY     (often)

VOTE     (once)

 

*Barack Hussein OBama—Say BHHHOB aloud and it sounds like the warning for Christians in the 2008 election: “Beware of sheep’s clothing.”
