The Death Of America?
Patriots I just found an article interview with Gore Vidal here
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/gore-vidals...
something really got to me and I wish for us to have a healthy exchange of opinions in regards to this particular part quote~
The current spasming death of America was foretold at its birth, Vidal says, and it can only be understood by whirling back there. It has been his mission to explain the past to the "United States of Amnesia," through his novels and essays. When he speaks, he sweeps over two millennia of history – from Caesar to Obama – as if he was there, forever spraying one-liners from the back row. Today, he was stopped time in Philadelphia, at the birth of the republic. "Benjamin Franklin saw all this coming," he says. "I quote him because most Americans don't even know who he was now. You'll have to explain to your readers." Franklin was a writer, scientist and soldier who became one of the founding fathers of the United States. "In Philadelphia in 1781, when the constitution was being put together, he was an observer. He didn't want to have any part of it, and as he was leaving the Constitution Hall in Philadelphia a couple of old ladies said, 'Ah, Mr Franklin, what is going to happen?' He told them: 'Well, you're going to get a Republic, if you can keep it. But every constitution of this sort has failed since the beginning of time due to the corruption of the people.'"
"Well, you're going to get a
"Well, you're going to get a Republic, if you can keep it. But every constitution of this sort has failed since the beginning of time due to the corruption of the people."
Or, as I have been harping here - due to humanity's tendency toward selfishness and greed.
We won't get it right until we realize that 'We are One', or as Jesus explained, what you do to/for the least of these, you do to/for me (or yourself).

LL, I've missed you on our Very Special Prayer Thread!
"I was like everyone else when Obama was elected optimistic. Everything we had been saying about racial integration was vindicated," [Gore Vidal] says, "but he's incompetent. He will be defeated for re-election. It's a pity because he's the first intellectual president we've had in many years, but he can't hack it. He's not up to it. He's overwhelmed. And who wouldn't be? The United States is a madhouse. The country should be put away and we're being told to go away. Nothing makes any sense." The President "wants to be liked by everybody, and he thought all he had to do was talk reason. But remember the Republican Party is not a political party. It's a mindset, like Hitler Youth. It's full of hatred. You're not going to get them aboard. Don't even try. The only way to handle them is to terrify them. He's too delicate for that."
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE join me in praying for our President.
Doing anything else could lead to our country's collective doom.

remember the movie apollo 13...
there is a line from that movie that i think applies most appropriately right now...
as far as we, the people are concerned,
..."i believe this will be our finest hour!"...
...you'll see, everyone here at the DP knows what i am talking about...there are 330 million americans and about 150 million of us have guns to protect our liberty and our liberty we will protect!
...this will truly be our finest hour!
O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
Has it ever occurred to you....
....the Vidal sounds like a pervert?
I say we call it Re-Boot America!
"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."
"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."

The re-Birth of America
it's been a coupla hundred years... about time we rediscovered what the Founders were talking about.
Long live our Constitutional Republic! Fight to the death to defend it.

Washington's third angelic visitation/vision always keeps me hopeful. As he envisioned, things would get rather ugly, and aren't they already that way? But, he envisioned that the Republic will stand...though the whole world is against her...she will not fall!

Gosh, I
never intended to say so much in this thread. But I feel I must offer further hope...try to shine a little more light. (It's my Job--seriously!) I'm sure I'll be blasted by some naysayers, but that's all right.
Although Washington's third vision shows the USA being invaded by air and by sea, and sees us involved in mortal combat and he hears the cry of millions--I personally don't take that literally. One must remember that visions have to be "shown" to people in terms they will understand. This is my take on it: We are already being bombarded in EVERY way from other countries--toxins in our food, dangerous pharmaceuticals, undrinkable water; chemicals in the air, anti-Americans in our own government, many have lost their homes, their jobs, their wealth. Many are homeless or living in tent cities. We are already being assaulted on every front. We are already in mortal combat, millions have and are already crying. A literal invasion is not necessary, imo, for this prophecy to be fulfilled. Our Republic will stand!
On a further note, MANY well-respected psychics are now saying that a world hundreds of times better than what we have now is right around the corner. And I mean right around the corner. Not only financial wizards, but psychics are also saying that an economic upheaval is imminent within the next few months. Yes, it will be rough for a bit, but this upheaval presages the demise of the negative elite. All the suppressed technology will then be released, there will be jobs, there will be positive growth unimagined, etc. Psychics, like the financial wizards, are also saying that if possible, "we" should store a little food, get some gold/silver to weather us through the storm. If this helped only one person, then I am happy.
As you can probably tell, I believe what the wizards and psychics are predicting. I hope to see you all safely on the other side of the upcoming storm...
