&lt;p&gt;I know many will consider this a paranoid statement, but I do believe we are watching the deaththroes of a nation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only a &amp;quot;delusional optimism&amp;quot; would engender in hope in light of this proclamation and the burgeoning debt.&amp;nbsp; America is no longer a major economic force in the world.&amp;nbsp; We are a debtor nation.&amp;nbsp; The only reason Chinese is not being taught in our elementary schools (yet) is because of our present military status.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to maintain a strong military while carrying such huge debt, taxes must go up . . . and up .&amp;nbsp;. . and up.&amp;nbsp; Already, the government has conscripted nearly half of each American worker&amp;#39;s income.&amp;nbsp; Already, there is a majority that gets more government services than they pay in taxes.&amp;nbsp; What&amp;#39;s that spell?&amp;nbsp; S-o-c-i-a-l-i-s-m!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;America is following the very same pattern we see in the Bible in regard to nation&amp;#39;s that ignore God&amp;#39;s laws.&amp;nbsp; There is absolutely no reason to believe America will fare any better than any of the other numerous nations that followed the path America is now on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the Joel Olsteen sermons in the world can not avert the wrath of God that surely comes upon sin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s my cheery message for the day!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: ***, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender pride month</title><link>http://www.pastors.com/forums/thread/17923.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:01:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">89de837d-08b6-4133-92cf-2a8622961ebb:17923</guid><dc:creator>John Haller</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.pastors.com/forums/thread/17923.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.pastors.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=476&amp;PostID=17923</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Right there with you Mark.
