From Evening Prayer:
Lord, all-powerful King,
free us for the sake of Your Name.
Give us time to turn from our sins.

Navigating Slippery Slope or Raping America
Charles Krauthammer has Obama navigating a slippery slope into socialism. Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress, says Krauthammer, “…constitutes the boldest social democratic manifesto ever issued by a U.S. President”.
To my mind, it is a social program that should be called the Rape of America. Obama’s taking Miss Liberty in a direction she doesn’t want to go. When Ronald Reagan came to office wanting to take America on a different trajectory, Krauthammer says Reagan’s aim was to “shrink government, lower taxes, rebuild American defense.” How long will it be before we will see that again in this nation?
Obama’s will is to force universal health care, universal education and green energy via government funds, government regulation, by government Democrat’s and Presidential manifesto down our collective throat. How? Krauthammer explains, “We know what opportunity he wants to seize. Just as the Depression created the political and psychological conditions for Franklin Roosevelt’s transformation of America from laissez-faireism to the beginnings of the welfare state, the current crisis gives Obama the political space to move the still (relatively) modest American welfare state toward European-style social democracy.”
Is there the will or the way among Conservatives, Independents, Libertarians and still breathing Republicans to stop the plunder and pillage. Michael Steele, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee and thinking Americans have their work cut out for them. They need to find traction, indeed, rescue and deliverance, from Obama’s slide into Socialism.
“Moral Corrosions”
The Anchoress writes: “America is scared, like I’ve never seen America scared before. After 9/11, we were frightened but together as a nation. Now, we’re frightened, and torn apart, as well.”
Thomas Sowell says it like so: A Fatal Trajectory
“..looming ahead of us– and our children and their children– are dangers that can utterly destroy American society. Worse yet, there are moral corrosions within ourselves that weaken our ability to face the challenges ahead.
One of the many symptoms of this decay from within is that we are preoccupied with the pay of corporate executives while the leading terrorist-sponsoring nation on earth is moving steadily toward creating nuclear bombs.”
Does anyone imagine that we will care what anyone’s paycheck is when we see an American city in radioactive ruins?
Yet the only serious obstacle to that happening is that the Israelis may disregard the lofty blather coming out of the White House and destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities before the Iranian fanatics can destroy Israel.”
When clear thinkers worry, I worry!
Be Holy!
