An Apocalypse
By Kathy Armijo



 


Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate; now what's going to happen to us with both a Senate and a House?


Will Rogers


Words of wisdom from an American humorist
What would he say today?
Probably, “You best start praying”


Those candidates should be canned
Or shipped to a foreign land
There to start their own form of rule


America was built to foster democracy
Not hypocrisy
Nor demigods


You say I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Or just got a bump on the head
Neither


I am just sick of all the rhetoric
The lies and more lies
Just one more thing to tie us down


Where’s our freedom gone
Their stand will probably make us sick
But what the heck, we’ll have national health care

Voting time getting nearer. Can't decide. Fear for our country whomever gets in office. Must abide by them but don't have to really like them. God does know and it is up to him to pull us around and give us peace. God help us soon.

I sense that you too are concerned with the political mayhem in D.C. almost daily I e-mail, fax or call someone in Washingtonto let them know how far they are taking our natiion away from our founding principles of democracy. Our representation hardly exists. If you are not part os special interest group, you have no voice. But I am relentless in my pursuit of freedom, democracy and a return to the constitution as the founding fathers intended it. Go poem. Jon Michael Wiley

I cannot, in good conscience, blame God if things do not change for that is the way of this world until the Creator sends his son to take over. Superb write, Kathy

Wise words Kathy. Well said my friend.

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

Could it be that we are reaping the harvest of an uninformed electorate? We have allowed the political consultants to warp our votes by hot button issues. We have allow religion to be misused to promote the political while, at the same time, they scare us to think that religion is being taken from us. They have successfully caused religious people to call each other names and boast that our interpretation of scripture is the only "true" one.

thanks for your timely words.

Sounds like a very similar dilemma to what we have going on here.
Tomorrow we get a new Prime Minister....Will it be the Old one whose about to retire anyway, and his treasurer just walks in the job, or the ALP ( Thats labour) with Mr Kevin Rudd, hmmmm I can hardly wait..NOT!

In any case, Happy Thanksgiving
