you consider that many people in this nation think these are the end times it comes as no surprise that our elected officials have the same problem. The rethugs know their policies are destroying not only our own nation but also the worlds around us but to many of them it does not matter because these are the end times and things are supposed to be bad. They never bother to question that they might not be right. And yes I agree that this is the real danger we are facing.

Somewhere in the New Testament there is a story regarding some followers who had decided it was the end time and they had just stopped doing anything - just setting there and watching for it. The author of the book lays into them telling them basically to get off their duffs and get on with life. This whole bunch of the sky is falling idiots have forgotten that story.
