It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

So, the world financial system is collapsing (or not) and we’ll have the depression (or not). Is it all an October surprise on the part of the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) because they must and WILL have Obama as President? Or a serious crisis that must be addressed immediately?  I don’t want to go through a Depression.  But even if we do, we will still be light years ahead of most of the rest of the world in terms of wealth and lifestyle.  Our poor are incredibly wealthy compared to how most of the rest of the world lives.  So if we have another Depression, so be it.  It really won’t be the end of the world; life will go on just as it always has during times of poverty, disease, and war.  People have suffered far more than we will if “the worst” happens.

What really got us here?  At the end of the day - we did.  Our spoiled, childish, disconnected populace has no idea what’s going on, and frankly as long as they can get in front of their televisions in time for the next episode of Dancing With The Stars, they don’t care that the fix is in, and it’s working:

I suppose this is why print media and the press in general don’t care about their tumbling revenues; when The Pelosi gets the regulated internet and restricted Congress that she wants, and Obama gets his thugs and his Justice Department monitoring, intimidating and shutting down alternative media (and the dissenting voices we’ve been told are “patriotic” when a Republican is in the White House) the incestuous mainstream press will go back to being the only game in town. Pravda West.

(Shrug) everyone sees it coming; the voters don’t seem to want to stop it.

Oh, they’ll start to feel a vague unease when those things happen, but after the daily two minute hate they’ll feel better.  But just as the church is growing by leaps and bounds in China and North Korea, in a time of crisis it will also grow here.  If we needed a reminder to build our houses on the rock instead of the sand, this is it.  So if this is the start of a great depression; if it’s topped off by an avian flu crisis and several more Katrinas, if the boot comes down on our neck and stays there, if CAIR gets its way and all these “accommodations” lead to sharia law… what of it?  Is this my home, or do I have another?

They did not receive the things God had promised, but from a long way off they saw them and welcomed them, and admitted openly that they were foreigners and refugees on earth. Those who say such things make it clear that they are looking for a country of their own. They did not keep thinking about the country they had left; if they had, they would have had the chance to return. Instead, it was a better country they longed for, the heavenly country. And so God is not ashamed for them to call him their God, because he has prepared a city for them.
(Hebrews 11:13-16)
