From My Perspective - - -
“America’s Chickens Are Coming Home To Roost” is a phrase lifted from a
sermon delivered by the Pastor of our current President. The Rev.
Jeremiah Wright served as Barack Obama’s Pastor for more than 20 years
at Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s south side. His
comments were based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels
and the treatment of black Americans: "The government gives them the
drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants
us to sing God Bless America…the United States had brought on al
Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism. We bombed Hiroshima, we
bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York
and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye…We have supported state
terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we
are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought
right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home
to roost…”
Are these “chickens coming home to roost” now for President Obama.
Wikipedia states: The idea of an “Axis Of Evil” is a term coined by
United States President George W. Bush in his State of the Union
Address on January 29, 2002 in order to describe governments that he
accused of helping terrorism and seeking weapons of mass destruction.
President Bush named Iran, Iraq and North Korea in his speech.” This
notion was decried by the Candidate Obama and the minions of his
loyalists. Regardless of ones wishes and thoughts now about Iraq and
Afghanistan, the swagger and boasts of Saddam Hussein would lead one to
believe his thoughts were on Weapons of Mass Destruction and how they
could be used. Our current news cycles are saturated by reports from
and about North Korea – ships possibly delivering weaponry to rogue
nations; a missile aimed at the United States (Hawaii) with a target
date for launch on July 4th; Announcing the Truce between South
Korea/United States with North Korea is now vacated; etc. Reports from
Iran area about demonstrators and blood on the streets of Tehran
because of a suspected “stolen” election.
There is an interesting Column penned by Michael Barone from June 20th and posted on The Washington Examioner.Com entitled: DODGE FACTS, SKIP DETAILS, GOVERN CHICAGO-STYLE. “…let me offer my Three Rules of Obama. FIRST,
he likes to execute long-range strategies but suffers from cognitive
dissonance (a harsh, disagreeable combination of sounds; Lack of
agreement, consistency, or harmony; conflict) when new facts render
them inappropriate. His long-range strategy of propitiating America’s
enemies has been undercut by North Korea’s missile launches and
demonstrations in Iran against the mullah regime’s apparent election
fraud. His assumption that friendly words could melt the hearts of Kim
Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have been refuted by events. SECOND,
he does not seem to care much about the details of policy. He
subcontracted the stimulus package to congressional appropriators, the
cap-and-trade legislation to Henry Waxman and Edward Markey, and his
health care program to Max Baucus. The result is incoherent public
policy: indefensible pork barrel projects, a carbon emissions bill that
doesn’t limit carbon emissions from politically connected industries,
and a health care program priced by the Congressional Budget Office at
a fiscally unfeasible $1.6 trillion. THIRD,
he does business Chicago-style. His first political ambition was to be
mayor of Chicago…From Chicago he brings the assumption that there will
always be a bounteous private sector that can be plundered endlessly on
behalf of political favorites. Hence the government takeover of General
Motors and Chrysler to bail out the United Auto Workers, the proposal
for channeling money from the private nonprofits to the government by
limiting the charitable deduction for high earners,
We may be living closer to The Last Days than some care to admit. Ponder Revelation 11:17-18,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The
nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for
judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your
saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great-- and
for destroying those who destroy the earth.” Roosting Chickens – think
about it!
