In March of 1938, when the naïve among his contemporaries still thought they might cut a deal with the National Socialists (Nazi Party), Winston Churchill saw his country “descending incontinently and fecklessly down the stairway which lead to a black abyss.” A black abyss beckons today, and no amount of forced optimism or self-conscious jollity will stop the descent into its shadows. There is nothing inevitable about what lies ahead, but providence will overcome fatalism only if people absorb what Pope Benedict XVI said last January: “…it is imperative that the entire Catholic community in the United States come to realize the grave threats to the Church’s public moral witness presented by a radical secularism which finds increasing expression in the political and cultural spheres.”

Those words would probably confuse the comfortable man who objected to me about a prayer that mentioned “Enemies of the Faith.” He said with suburban unction that “there are no enemies anymore.” He was unaware that somewhere around 200 million Christians live under daily threat in 197 countries. Last year, nearly 100,000 Christians were killed because of their Christianity, in lands from North Korea and China, to Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Laos, Sudan, and on and on, including so called allies of America, such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt.  All this while the media frantically covers Muslims being persecuted as this makes national news.  All the while we have a President who refuses to use the term “Muslim Extremists” in fear of offending Muslims.  It’s obvious he has no fear of offending Christians, especially Catholics.

So here it is.  America’s budget explained in laymen s terms, simple English that even I can understand.

I love it when complex things are simplified so that we can all understand.  If Barack Obama gets re-elected America is finished.  Any CEO that operates a corporation without a balanced budget and an unsustainable deficit is guaranteeing the inevitable failure of that corporation.  America has a commander and chief that refuses to put forward a budget to operate the largest corporation in the world.

In my opinion there is only one possible explanation for this radical behavior.  He’s only interested in himself, he has a thirst and greed to hold onto power at any cost, even if it means the destruction and financial collapse of the United States of America.  I have simplified America’s budget, I brought it down to household terms that anyone can understand.

Susan G Komen and Planned Parenthood

Luke 18:8 “when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

The Susan G. Komen breast-cancer foundation suddenly reversed its decision and decided to fund cancer screenings by Planned Parenthood after deciding no longer to do so just days before, to the elation of pro-lifers.

Then there was the decision by U.S. Health and Human Services to mandate health-coverage payments for contraception as well as sterilization and abortion drugs even for agencies and institutions operated by the Catholic Church.

There are the desecrations through out the land:

Hosts trampled (in Mexico and in Texas), statues defaced (in New York), graveyards trashed, atheistic billboards mocking religion, comedians outright disparaging Christians.

There is no denying that an assault on the followers of Jesus Christ is in full swing in America.  Satan’s disciples are in an all out attack mode. Make no mistake about my brothers and sisters in Christ the final cosmic battle between the forces of Good and evil has begun.  The culture of death is upon us.
