Still on the election.....

A friend of mine was at work taking phone call orders when she got a very interesting call.  I got her permission to post this here.  I hope this woman is wrong.  BUT....again, no matter who you voted for this is INTERESTING.  We definitely need to pray for our new president.  I pray that God will do some major work in his heart before he even takes his oath. 

I had a very interesting call last night at work with a 78-year old lady named Erika from the west coast. She grew up in Germany and for some reason started saying that the new govt. that Obama is trying to initiate is very socialistic and he follows the exact pattern as Hitler did in the 30's. She was so interesting to talk to and she insisted that I take her name and phone number, which I did. I would love to get a group together to talk with her and her husband (retired Navy: WWII, Korean, and Vietnam) Oh the wisdom and knowledge the elderly have is priceless. Erika said that when Hitler started off, the people were economically depressed just like USA and his words mesmerized them. They became "mouth dead" and she gave the German word for it. They thought of Hitler as a "movie star-like image" just like Obama is thought of like a "rock star" image today. She said that the people who listened to Hitler's ideas became brainwashed and anyone who thought otherwise was considered "narrow-minded" and anti-government, anti-change and were ostracized, and the rest is history... The government will take control of health, education, business, housing, etc. Read the history of the Eastern Hemisphere and see what a socialistic government was/is like. It is a dictatorship. We will NOT be a country "of the people, by the people and for the people" any longer. Even our income will not be our own, it will be divided and dolled out to those less fortunate or less willing to work for a living and a huge portion will go back to the government. We will be like surfs that work the land and the government decides where the product and profit goes. Keep in mind, that in a socialistic government, this never affects the upper crust. People will do anything to be at the upper level, even turn on friends and family. It is the middle and lower class that suffer.  As for the Govt. Health system, she said to ask a Canadian. Erika told about a friend who sprained her ankle and it took 10 days to see a doctor. The same friend inhaled some Chinese food accidentally and it took days to see a doctor and they kept mistreating or shrugging her off. Finally this friend came to Washington (where Erika lives) to be treated and she now has lung damage from the infection. Those that can afford it come to the US for treatment. Where will we go for a good doctor, even if we could afford it? We will get second-rate doctors and she said a lot would be foreign speaking so you can hardly understand them. As I said, it was a very interesting conversation.

I guess what confuses me the most is that seemingly very intelligent people are for this. But I can’t figure out why? What saddens me even more is the vast number of people, young, old, and of all races, that voted without understanding the objectives of this “new government”. Many that were interviewed voted for O. because he “had a hard life and they could relate to that”.  Or many of the younger people even went as far as to say, “he is ‘hot’, of course I will vote for him over that old guy,” or that he is ”young and fresh and will be a nice change”, not even having a clue what the change will entail,"

Sigh.  Again, I pray this woman is wrong.... though I have to say that we often don't listen to the wisdom of our elders when we need to.   I believe we need to be watching the news and praying.  Make sure you call/email on any e-alerts that HSLDA might send your way in the coming year.  I am not going to panic....as for me and my house, we will trust in the Lord.....and try to prepare for what may lay ahead.

Also, this same friend posted something polite, but about praying to God, not Allah for the election on her facebook page.  A family member of hers said that she would now block her access to her page, because she tollerated people of all faiths and just couldn't have anything against anyone or anyone faith on her page!!!!!!   I just can't understand how people in the name of tolerance, can be SO INTOLERANT  of those of us who don't agree with them!  That double standard just blows me away. That being said....I will try not to talk politics for a while.   May God have mercy on our nation, and may we turn our hearts towards Him.
