You are my spirit sibling.

Dear Readers,

Maybe you've noticed that this blog has been more religious lately.  Well, that's because I've been more religious lately.  And I've been more religious lately because THIS COUNTRY IS GOING TO HECK!!! 

Obama won, gay marriage pretty much got legalized by a popular vote of the people in three states, marijuana got legalized for recreational purposes in two states, we're on the fast-track to socialized medicine and I'm really really mad!

Well, I was really really mad right after the election.  I was downright depressed for a long time, actually, and freaked out.  But now, almost two months later, my mind is a little more settled.  There's no use being mad for a long time about stuff I can't control, I say to myself.  I can't control national politics.  I can't really control local politics either. 

So, I hate to be Mr. Doomy-Gloomy, but I don't know if America can get back on the right track.  I don't know how we're going to fix the student-loan problem, the health care problem, the U.S. soldiers committing suicide problem, the national debt problem, the runaway entitlement problem, the ballooning federal government problem, and a bunch of other problems.  With Obama and the Democrats at the helm, I don't think these problems will be fixed.  Instead, I think the economic and moral vitality of this nation will wither.  It's very sad.

If Americans re-elected Obama, who will they elect next?  Joe Biden?  Hillary Clinton?  The corpse of Joseph Stalin? 

Obama has a terrible track record on just about every issue.  He's done very unethical things in regards to Fast and Furious and the Benghazi attack.  And remember Solyndra?  And remember the shifty passage of Obamacare?  And remember the recess appointments when congress wasn't really in recess?  And remember when Obama did nothing about the national deficit and the national debt?  And yet... he won. 

I guess Americans want socialism now.  I guess unashamed Christian capitalists like me are in the minority. 

This last election reflects a dark facet of human nature, folks.  It sounds strange, but many people want to be slaves.  This is the message of the Exodus from Egypt, as recorded in the Old Testament.  When the children of Israel were wandering in the desert for forty years, many of them wanted to go back to Egypt and become slaves again.  Why?  Because even though they were slaves in Egypt, they at least had food and water, and they were cared for by their masters.  In the desert, they only had manna, and they had to govern themselves a little more than they were used to. 

If the House of Israel had been a democracy, they probably would have voted to return to Egypt.  But God had his eye on his chosen people.  He called Moses to lead them.  God established a monarchy, basically.  Moses was essentially the King.  But he was a good king.  He was a King led by God.  And so God was their King.  And so the House of Israel eventually got to the Promised Land, conquered their ungodly enemies, and prospered.

But do Americans want God to be their King?  Or would they rather have Obama be their king?  Judging from the last election, it seems that  Americans would rather have the security and predictability of a big government nanny state than face the dangers of the Wild West.

I'm not saying that Mitt Romney is God.  He's not.  And I'm not saying that the Republican party is God's chosen political party.  It's not. 

I do think that God wanted Mitt Romney to win, though, because a Mitt Romney election would have led to laws that are more in line with God's ways.  For example, with Obama as our President, I think gay marriage is more likely to be legalized.  And I think that God is opposed to gay marriage.  For another example, with Obama as our President, I think that abortion will be more prevalent, because his administration seems to be pro-abortion.  Also, Obama has no sympathy for the Catholics who say they will not comply with the HHS regulations that makes them provide free contraception to their employees.  Obama will probably fine or imprison the Catholic leaders who defy his orders.  I think Romney would have done a better job at preserving religious liberty.

I'm not saying that if Romney would have won, Americans would have repented in sackcloth and ashes.  Most likely they would have mocked Romney for four years and continued on in their wicked ways.  

Conservatives laugh at the idea of Joe Biden running and winning in 2016, but I think the media will get behind whoever the Democratic nominee is, and will attack whoever the Republican nominee is.  And I think the country will go along with it, and... well... I suppose if the next few years get really bad, if the economy gets worse, and the Republicans put up a really charismatic nominee, like Marco Rubio, or maybe Chris Christie, maybe we can win. 

But even if the Republicans gain some seats in the midterm election, and win the Presidency in 2016, I'm still pessimistic.  The Supreme Court will be more liberal by then, more of America's sovereignty will be given to the United Nations by then, and Obamacare will be further and further in place, never to be removed.  (Theoretically Obamacare can be repealed, but practically speaking, I don't think it will be.  At that point, it would be like repealing Social Security.) 

And so where does America go?  Look at Greece.  That's where we're headed.  It's ugly.  More poverty.  More suffering.  More and more people fighting over a smaller and smaller pie.

But I don't know what to do about it, except vent on Telemoonfa Time and try to get prepared for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  I need to get food storage ready, and water storage ready, and I need to learn some survival skills, and I need to get myself and my loved ones right with God.  And even if Jesus Christ doesn't come back in my life time, it won't hurt to get prepared.  Being prepared will settle my mind.  "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear." 

Although, it's probably more important to get spiritually prepared than temporally prepared.  So that's why my blog has been more religous lately.

Well, enough ranting.

Oh, but I also want to extend the olive branch to the Democrats I've been arguing with lately.  You are not my enemy.  I think you are all pretty swell people.  It's your ideas that I think are wrong.  You've been misinformed by school teachers and by Hollywood and by the news media.  Maybe you can take advantage of the non-election year that is upon us and study out the principles of conservatism and the principles of liberalism, and look at case-studies of where these political philosophies have been put into place, and ask yourself, which political philosophy better serves humanity?  I think it is conservatism- social, fiscal, and national security conservatism.

Another thing I want to say is that I'm thankful that I have the free speech to voice my views, even though they may not be popular right now.  Thanks for reading.  I hope the best for you. 

And hey, if you need a place to stay for a while, or if you need some food to eat, you can call on Telemoonfa.  I'll help you out.  You are my spirit sibling.  We're all children of the same God.  But bear in mind, if you stay at my house, you will be subject to my preaching.  Ha ha ha.

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
