So, What's New?

The following was sent to my wife and I thought worth posting in keeping with the wisdom of Solomon.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (Eccl. 1:9)

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refitted, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest (the nation) become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Who wrote that sage advice? Cicero. In 55 B.C. The nation referred to is Rome. Cicero was a Roman statesman and constitutionalist of the first level.

For those who refuse to believe the Scriptures but want to know how our nation will fare if it continues on the path it has chosen crack open a history book (preferrably one that hasn't been tampered with by the "factually-challenged", i.e. the revisionists of the past half century). Read what happened to the Roman Empire as it degenerated more and more. As our nation follows in the Roman Empire's footsteps it will certainly come to the same end.

May our Sovereign God wake our nation up!

...my people have forgotten me; they make offerings to false gods; they made them stumble in their ways, in the ancient roads, and to walk into side roads, not the highway....Like the east wind I will scatter them before the enemy. I will show them my back, not my face, in the day of their calamity. (Jeremiah 18:15-17)
