A taste of tyranny in the town of liberty

Washington, DC has been the cradle of liberty since it became America's Capital City in 1801. The distinct three branches of government, bringing each into accountability to the other; the Bill of Rights guaranteeing freedom of speech and religion among many other inalienable rights; the rich history of free markets and free men all have been an example to freedom loving peoples around the world. But just in one week, the man who occupies the Oval Office has bucked tradition and has given a glimpse of the tyranny to come if the current political climate is allowed by voters to continue into the future--it is a type and shadow of an America gone into captivity.

As the Supreme Court closed out debate over the rights-violating socialist healthcare mandate rammed through by the White House, the president offered words of warning. At an April 2 news conference, he said, "Ultimately, I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.  And I'd just remind conservative commentators that for years what we've heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint -- that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law.  Well, this is a good example."

Then at the April 3 Associated Press luncheon, he lectured journalists on how to report about his budget: "I think that there is oftentimes the impulse to suggest that if the two parties are disagreeing, then they're equally at fault and the truth lies somewhere in the middle, and an equivalence is presented--which reinforces I think people's cynicism about Washington generally.  This is not one of those situations where there's an equivalence...So as all of you are doing your reporting, I think it's important to remember that the positions I'm taking now on the budget and a host of other issues, if we had been having this discussion 20 years ago, or even 15 years ago, would have been considered squarely centrist positions."

On July 24, 2008 as a candidate, he delivered a speech in Berlin, Germany at the Victory Column--the exact spot where Hitler planned to enthrone himself. Revelation 2:13 refers to Pergamon as the location of "Satan's seat." The altar of Pergamon was taken from Turkey to Germany and reconstructed in Berlin, where the candidate originally wanted to give his Berlin speech. The Great Altar of Pergamon, as Revelation reveals as "where Satan dwelleth", served as the backdrop to the American president's nomination acceptance speech at Invesco Field in Denver (reported by Michael Barone, US News, August 29, 2008).  Yeshua told his disciples in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Maybe its too late...

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
