All great nations rise and fall, some by violence from a neighbor, or from a foreign shore, and some by suicide.
The Ancient Greek democracy of 500 B.C.E. was overwhelmed by mob action over time, because it had no system of buffers between the whims of the crowd and its rulers. They continually made hasty and unwise decisions that brought destruction and grief upon themselves, even though they knew full well the nature of tragedy and wrote timeless dramas about it.
The Roman Republic of 60 B.C.E. crashed in a similar way due to the actions of Julius Caesar and the charismatic Mark Antony; who triggered a civil war between the poor and discontented on one side, and the aristocracy and the wealthy on the other. The Julio-Claudian family defeated Antony and Cleopatra, and the magnetic and talented Octavian became the first Emperor Augustus Caesar. Never again did common people exercise political power in the Empire.
We have a new example today, and the time honored tragedy plays out once more. The Emperor Barack Obama has just seized power in the United States. Since he was elected in 2008, he said 25 times in public that he didn't have the power to override Congress and create amnesty for foreign invaders who have flooded into America for decades. Just a year ago he said on Spanish-language television, "I'm not an emperor", and that he couldn't violate the Constitution of the United States.
Last night, November 20, he did just that, and with glee and celebration. He declared himself the de-facto Emperor Barack, and said he has the power to do whatever he wants to do. Congress is "too slow" to give him what he wants, so he issued another executive order, one more of hundreds since his election. This marks the end of America as it has been since its founding as a Constitutional republic in 1787. The newly-elected Congress is almost powerless to respond until January, 2015, when it will be sworn in. The new Republican majority - just elected on November 4 - would have blocked Emperor Barack if it had the power.
In the final days of the 2008 election, candidate Obama said to a cheering mob, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!" Since then he and his cronies in the Democrat Party have done just that. They've destroyed or corrupted the racial harmony we once had; the market economy that used to provide abundant jobs and wealth for everybody; our national sense of greatness hard-won by generations of workers, inventors, and warriors; our record of success in every arena; our global stature as a superpower; and the confidence we once had to resist evil, corruption, and spiritual rot. This is why the foreign invaders have come, because they know how good we were. But no nation can exist without secure borders.
The entire world is now a much more unstable and dangerous place since Emperor Barack and his minions took over. Our enemies know what's happening to us and celebrate. Obama goes over to those countries and has parties with them.
Meanwhile, Iran is building a nuclear weapon, Islamo-Fascists are on the march in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, Putin is placing Russian troops in Eastern Europe, Israel is targeted by haters everywhere, and all of this is perpetrated with assistance and cover provided by Emperor Barack.
It's gruesomely ironic that a black American who received every benefit and gift our nation could provide him, and which has made him, his family, and his cronies wealthy, should gleefully destroy his country. Obama received the best education any American could have - for free. He was employed in easy jobs at a high salary, along with his wife, and was elected a Senator for his state with ease and lavish assistance. His presidential campaign collected hundreds of millions of dollars from all over the world, and he glided into the White House. Since that day he has undermined and sabotaged everything he laid his hands on. He and his associates have behaved as though they were the foreign agents of our worst enemies.
Don't forget that Nobel Peace Prize he received before he even took office.
This is unique in human history; a bitter irony of epic proportions. The malice and ingratitude he, his cohorts, and the Democrat Party have practiced will be seen for what it is eventually, and for all time. They even had help from a lazy and dull-witted Republican Party, a very bitter pill we all must swallow.
This man is the long-prophesied "man of sin, lawlessness", the Anti-Christ, spoken of in Second Thessalonians, 2:3.
Abraham Lincoln, the most prophetic of our presidents, warned us in his Lyceum Speech of 1838,
"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide."
