This is from an official Democrat video played at the opening of the Democrat convention. Pay close attention to these words:

“Government is the only thing we all belong to.”

We all belong to the government. Think slaves–untold thousands of them hauling bloody great rocks in the sun to build a pyramid, while their overseers whip their backs raw and Pharaoh watches from a shady nook. We all belong to the government.

Meanwhile, outside, street vendors sold posters of our incumbent “president” praying under a headline that said, “Prophecy Fulfilled.” They were also selling an Obama calendar which includes a picture of “the One” under a famous Bible verse about Jesus, John 3:16–“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” Other pictures in the calendar identified “the One” as the Good Shepherd.

I think the thing I hate most about Democrats is their penchant for blasphemy.  But really it’s only the working out of their theology.

These odious people worship the state. We all belong to the government. But if the state is God, then what is the leader of the state?

Dems, we already have the Messiah. He is Jesus Christ. It is not some nasty little communist pipsqueak from Chicago.

Whatever prophecies that little slimeball is fulfilling probably come from Revelation. If it walks like the Antichrist, talks like the Antichrist, and smells like the Antichrist…

I guess, as a citizen, I ought to say something about the upcoming presidential election.

To put it as simply as possible: if Obama wins, America loses. That’s all. There will still be a “United States of America” on the map, but it won’t be America.

Any action but a vote for Romney is, for all practical purposes, a vote for Obama. A vote for Obamacare. A vote for abortion. A vote for redefining marriage. Above all, a vote for expanding the size and the power of the federal government beyond anything we’ve ever seen.

So if you’re thinking of writing in Ron Paul, or voting for Joe Blow Libertarian, or Mickey Mouse, or not voting at all, you might as well plant an Obama sign on your front lawn.

If you don’t like Romney, fine. But the time to start in on him is after we get rid of Obama. Support the Tea Party. It’s alive, it’s vibrant, it won big in 2010. And it’ll get another shot, in 2014, to sweep a lot of statist RINOs out of Congress.

But if you want to keep living under czars, keep spending money we don’t have (but which gets sucked out of your paycheck before you even see it) on bulls**t projects that we don’t want or need, if you want to watch the country being chewed into little pieces by every little group that hates America and wants to “radically transform” it–well, then, anything but a vote for Romney is a vote for all that.

Let’s see what’s in this pile of fresh news clippings… The state of Missouri has undercover agents to bust farmers for selling raw milk to “strangers”… The city of Chicago forces city employees to join a “wellness program” complete with “wellness goals” and “wellness activities” and inspections to make sure you aren’t cheating… The federal government, by executive order of the king–er, “president”–wants to force schools to enforce discipline on a racial quota basis…

City, state, federal… at all levels, our government is devouring us. Eating our freedom. You can’t have raw milk. You must do more jumping-jacks. The president will decide who gets suspended for throwing radiator parts at the classroom teacher, and who doesn’t.

Are you getting the picture?

Now, there is a simple solution to this problem–so simple, even a fantasy writer can tell you what it is. Ready?

Cut off the money!

You see, government does these things to us because government has too damn much of our money. Take the undercover agents on raw milk patrol. They have salaries, benefits, and pensions: the state will go on paying them until they’re planted in the ground.

Cut off the money. It’s as simple as that. Government does not have insufficient funds. It has too much. Squeeze them until they can’t squeeze back. Take away their power to do mischief.

We don’t have television, but lately we’ve been watching old shows on our computer. Among our favorites are “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” “Night Gallery,” and “The Outer Limits.” We’re always surprised and delighted by the high quality of the acting, the writing, and everything else about these shows: not like today’s reality shows starring nobody.

In wandering up and down the various eras of television, it seems to me that by the 1970s TV had become, at least for practical purposes, a province of atheism. Not that I expect long scenes of people praying, reading the Bible, or going to church. But the characters in these shows, with more and more uniformity, live lives untouched by God. Granted, they are fictional lives: but the shows were expected to be convincingly realistic.

I remember a “Millenium” episode in which the hero consulted a priest and his superiors held a special meeting to discuss whether he was going off the deep end. They called in his partner, and she let them have it with both barrels. “Of course he talked to a priest! He’s Catholic! Is that supposed to make him unreliable?” And she walked out in a huff.

That was a great scene! Yes, I know Chris Carter, the creator of “Millenium,” had a lot of New Age ca-ca floating around in his mind. I don’t offer him up as someone who understands Christianity.

So where is God in all these fictional people’s lives?

And where is God in real people’s lives? I think the condition of our country today answers that question for us.
