Yep. I went out on a limb on that one. Can’t win them all. Just after I wrote this article Rubio showed himself to be a phony conservative and he was thrown back in the pond. Had he taken the route of Ted Cruz he could have won but he moved left of Cruz and lost much of the evangelical support.

Hi CE,

I suppose it could work out somewhat like that if the House of Saud fell but then we invaded and occupied it after the fall to keep it out of the hands of Iran and to put a pro Western leader in power. Keep in mind that we probably will have a Republican President in 2017 that will take a hard line position against Iran.

Any Iranian/Russian takeover of Saudi Arabia does not seem to fit Bible prophecy. Arabia and the young lions are the ones that question the Gog invasion of Ezekiel 38 and 39. Apparently Saudi Arabia is still aligned with the West at that time but why? Maybe someone like Trump actually does invade to keep Russia/Iran out of Arabia and takes some of their oil to pay for it.

Hi Bill,

I agree,
I would argue that we need to have an oil price floor in this country that will keep the energy exploration going to prevent what Saudi Arabia is doing to shut it down. I am not sure about the best way to do that but I think it can be done. Maybe there should be a guaranteed price of let’s say $55 a barrel. This is not the first time that Saudi Arabia and OPEC has done this to kill off oil development in this country. They have a regular cycle of bankrupting small energy development operators and making those that take risks to invest in American energy independence a losing proposition.

All we are is spectators with one vote and I’m happy when it turns out right but the whole system as a whole is not right until our good Lord returns and He establishes His thrown.

On that note I was happy for Peyton Manning winning the Super Bowl but the commercials were for crap.

P.S. There is something to be said about not being beholden to big donors… & stop the corporate welfare especially to oil companies! But on the other hand small oil co.’s in the U.S. are hurting w/ low prices which are from the Saudis flooding market to drive prices down in order to re-gain world oil supremacy. Our guys might need that $4 billion a yr subsidy here in U.S. soon ?

I think the most important issues for Christians and constitutionalists for the the 2017-2021 period are the candidates position on Islamic Jihad, illegal immigration/border security, and who they will nominate to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court goes liberal, there goes the bill of rights. That’s why I am for Cruz, he is solid on all three. Trump is solid on the first two but he might make the fatal mistake of putting more progressives on the Supreme Court. Christians and Conservatives need to make Trump state his position on the type of people he will nominate to the Supreme Court before they vote for him. Rubio is solid on one and three but he is not trustworthy on immigration/border security. However, congress can keep Rubio accountable if the Republicans maintain control.

The Demorats take the wrong position on all three.

I don’t think Rubio’s poor performance last night will mean much in the long haul. He still probably will come in second or third in New Hampshire. It might help Trump some and it could put Kasich in third or forth place in New Hampshire. However, next comes South Carolina and establishment people are not going to do well there. It could help Cruz in South Carolina but it is going to take more much more than just a second place place finish in South Carolina to win the nomination. Also, Christie will soon probably give it up and the attack dog will be back in his own New Jersey junk yard.
