A Week Of Surprises

This week has been unique and yet, strangely lacking in something. Visits to the doctor were unremarkable, and work was just fine. I met old friends, and was happy to see rhem. Meals were good, and plentiful. The grandchildren have advanced in their thinking, and in their skills development. Why then, I ask myself, this sudden malaise which has overcome me?

Then, it hit me squarely between the eyes! The Democrat party has certified beyond any doubt, that their interests are not quite in concert with those of average Americans. Talk of bankruptsy within the board rooms of General Motors, the failure today of a major bank whose assets were listed as having been over 32 billion dollars, oil prices nearing 150 dollars a barrel, and not a peep from Congress, the President, nor either of the two presumptive presidential candidates. Iran blatantly provoking tensions in the Middle East with it's missile test displays, invites only a mild rebuke from the same people listed above. Meanwhile, Israel is busy in their war rooms, planning for attacks by Iran, and why shouldn't they be doing that?

Britain's highest ranking member of that country's judiciary, asserting that maybe it is time for "Sharia Light" to be allowed into the English legal system; three year old children blamed for being "racist" because they dared utter the word "Yuk!" whan having put before them food foreign to their tastes, and to their cultural acclimation. Mark Steyn not yet free from the prosecutorial efforts of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, at least not in British Columbia. Editors decrying their country's errant misbehaviors, while suggesting we not celebrate the 4th of July this year, but rather, submerse ourselves in atonement for sins of the fathers against humanity itself. Our own "Kennedy" Supreme Court awash in their vision for us all, and nothing for the vision of the Founders. Much like the evil speculators(so defined by the Democrats), our economy is nearing a very real crisis point.

What is to be made of all this? Can it be that the Democrats are really into the dismantling of American industrial greatness? At the same time they would file suit against OPEC for not supplying more oil, they blithely stand against American self reliance. Holy God above, help us to dismantle these persons whose power has put this greatest of nations in such peril. Although prayer will help, it alone can not take the place totally of our individual involvement. As I heard Senator Obama predict 300 dollar a barrel oil prices leading to 12 dollar a gallon gas prices, and absolutely nothing in the way of a "plan" to deal with this horrible consequence should Iran close the Straits of Hormuz. It would appear neither candidate has an operable plan in place neither on the table, nor in the "fertile" minds above the mouths from which no comforting news flows.

America, wake up!! Is this what you wish for your children? And now, back to the accelerated education of those who, hopefully, will save us from ourselves...
