Christmas Lights on Steroids

Is Armageddon Coming?

SEE HERE  Armageddon is a term referring to a last great battle, an apocalyptic transcendent battle presumably at the end of time.  With 2012 upon us I suppose we can speculate.  It is disturbing that so many destabilizing effects are happening at once.  Iran's nuclear program, the Arab Spring as they call all this explosion of uprisings in the Middle East, the relative threat of economic collapse in Europe and the United States, and the perception of a lack of will on the part of the United States, and China's build-up of Naval power and increased naval presence are all factors that may just be of minor importance but taken together they start to seem ominous.  It is certainly no time to draw down either our military or our nuclear stockpile both of which are on the Obama agenda.  These are just two more troubling factors which could be destabilizing the world.

A Test of Right and Wrong on Multiple Levels

SEE HERE Science is one thing, but fraudulent scare tactics are another.  Frankly anyone with an ounce of sense can see that you can't drive climate with a trace gas like CO2.  It doesn't work and all the phonies in the world saying it does doesn't make it so.  Worse they are striving to make it sound not like some at most minor incidental warming you won't notice, but trying to make it apocalyptic.  That's the trick of the big lie.  Little lies don't count for much, but you can get a lot of people scared with a big big lie and then you can get them to do things that they'd never do if they hadn't been panicked by the lies.  Show me the data ... no one ever does because there really isn't any.  The only data out there that looks scary has been fabricated, hockey stick style.  Professor Wegman and his group showed that particular lie up for what it was.  SEE HERE  I had Wegman in a class for my doctoral program at George Mason and if Wegman says it's nonsense, then it is nonsense.

The War On Christmas

SEE HERE Of course there is a "War on Christmas" — Satan has been waging it from the beginning and you can discover who Satan's minions are by looking at who's up to what? Religion is about truth like everything else. Each statement one makes that involves ontological predicates, i.e. speaks of existence, is either true or false. The worldlings don't want to acknowledge limits on their behavior so they attack most kinds of religion, especially those that have the greatest claim to truth. So when you hear the snide remarks and are greeted with "Happy Holidays!" just smile and say "Merry Christmas!"

I was curious just how secularized Christmas had become so I googled "Merry Christmas" and here's the first screen.  I scrolled down and there was not a single image of a nativity scene.  Even where Christmas is acknowledged it flies false colors with Santa Claus and Frosty the snowman and reindeer instead of the King of Kings to whom the wisemen brought gifts.  Is it any wonder that our world is so confused with more and more degrading things being presented as normal?  I have a sign in my yard that says "Keep Christ in Christmas!"

I got this in an email from a friend and it seemed to me to represent a lot of common sense except for the twisted conclusion at the end. The free secular countries of the world offer more hope for achieving human potential than the narrow dictatorships whether simply of tyrants or of theocracies. It is not so much that religion is bad but that bad people often use religion as an excuse to do bad things.

The Failure of the Great Society and Collectivism

SEE HERE The failed policies of the Great Society are what has brought us to this place, not the failure of Capitalism. Capitalism built this country and enriched millions of Americans through their own hard work and vision. The Political Left Progressives have gamed the lower class into thinking that they can't succeed with hard work and so must depend on their masters the progressives for hand outs. They've demonized the rich who are those who have succeeded and if the progressives succeed they will crush the country economically and blame it on anyone but themselves. That is what is happening. You better believe it and act on it soon for the time is late and the darkness is growing.
