ABO is likely a good strategy. One of the problems is Obama didn't cause the problems, and it's almost like treating the symptom. The world system, dominated by Satan is the root cause of the evil in the world. The US is the anchor of freedom in the world, founded in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Some would say our Constitution has already be usurped, even so, it will be our banner, before God and all, to uphold and defend against all enemies, be they foriegn or domestic.
My question, and the difficulty for me is this, when an arm of the government engages in unconstitutional behavior like the unwarranted searches being conducted by the TSA, what recourse do we have besides civil disobedience and our vote at the ballot?
The farmer who drove his tractor into the pool in DC had the right idea, right up to the point he claimed he was carrying explosives. The worst he could have been charged with was trespassing or some other violation, until it became a federal matter, and they're rather heavy handed when it comes to enforcing the law. Ask anyone who's ever been convicted of selling a small amount of cocaine, a substance that used to be legal, by the way.
I'm all for taking back our country, I just don't know how bad it has to get before it gets any better. The US will fare better than other countries in this global economic downturn, but with out of control federal deficits, and everyone with their hand out, it's hard to see how this will end well.
The war on poverty was the first failure of our federal government, then drugs, and now terrorism. You may think these were necessary programs, but they were discretionary, and were funded by printed money. George Bush bailed out the banks, not Obama, but that still is the symptom. It was the Central Bank and Wall Street that caused the crisis, and continue to profit from it. That is what must be stopped, but the momentum is in their favor.
