This being the Christmas season, I want you to feel at home, welcomed, comfortable. “Peace on earth, good will toward men” is a worthy goal, although in our day to day lives we may feel that it is impossible to implement it. But still, we can try.
Be that as it may, events in the political and social realm continue to unfold around us, no matter which “holy days” we happen to celebrate. The same is true with Christmas. In spite of the fact that we may turn our attention to the Babe in the Manger and His message of salvation, love, and forgiveness, the world as a whole is still held firmly in the grip of sin, evil, violence, and war.
…
Here at home we continue to face dire circumstances due to the mind-boggling debt load the nation carries to the tune of $130 trillion when Social Security, Medicare, and the prescription drug program are added in.
…
When it became clear that nothing would be done to address any of these problems, given that Obama was reelected and the U.S. Senate was consigned to Democrat control yet again, many patriots opined on the fact that the nation is surely headed to collapse, destruction, anarchy, and then war. This is probably true to a much greater degree than anyone wants to admit. The divide among the populace is deep and volatile. Deep feelings motivate each side, and both sides are determined to implement their vision for the country–two visions that are as diametrically opposed as they can get.
