A Divided America

[IainH]

Ed has posted on his blog many times that he sees a future judgement on America resulting in dissolution into smaller nations. I have to agree there are issues in which there can be no consensus. One example; here in NC the citizens overwhelming supported the Defence of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman. A Federal judge far outside of NC deemed it unconstitutional and we were FORCED AGAINST OUR WILL to accept same sex marriage. This is tyranny, pure and simple. It is but one example of many where an outside entity through regulation and the courts forces my people to swallow that which find we deem unseemly. This is repeated in red states across the country and is a major factor in the election of President Trump. Folks are fed up and angry with the continued intrusion and increased dehumanizing tyranny of the Federal government. The Fed Govt is an unaccountable entity dedicated only to itself and it's continued centralization of all power. It uses fear and intimidation to scare  us into surrendering our liberty piece by piece. Those who resist are killed outright or are demonized by the propaganda networks so that when the frame up happens the people are conned and cheer when the target is imprisoned or murdered by paramilitary thugs. The "war on terror" is bogus. The war on drugs is the war on brown people. What will be the catalyst, my guess is economic. A severe depression combined with conservative balanced budget states being forced to bail out profligate deficit spending states might do it, especially if there are large numbers of unemployed struggling to stay afloat. What happens when police officers who aren't being paid are ordered to use deadly force to break up protests made up of friends and neighbors, same with the national guard. Whatever happens the current power structure will not go peacefully into the night. There will be blood, we who are protected by God must minister to those in need teaching them the heart per way that leads to shalom.
