Devil is running America
At the time that I started writing down notes for the news this week, Congress was still squabbling over our debt and how to help straighten it out.
I did not vote for President Obama, but he made a very sensible statement the other day. That his children spend more time on their homework than our Congress spends on trying to figure how to fix our debt. Why is it that these people we vote in don’t have a clue how to run our government? The president has all these advisers that can’t figure things out that the average smart American can.
Some of them are too busy lining their pockets and fooling around to help us. You could say what’s happened to our country, but hasn’t this been going on a long time. We say, wake up people but will they in time, I pray they do.
Our problems really started in the 1960s and 1970s when we let them tell us we could not pray in school and they were wrong. The average person did not realize they could not stop us.
Also when the sex, drugs and rock and roll things started, we being weak (me included) did nothing to stop all of this.
I remember Khrushchev saying they would whip us through our children. It’s the devil that is running America, we had better wake up.
