Coach Dave Daubenmire gives the nation the appropriate two minute warning in this article and Dave claims to be an optimist. I am more a realist, and like Dave I also think America’s goose is about to be cooked because of America’s amorality and materialistic excesses. Also because we are sitting ducks for terrorists.<\/p>\n
I do not think most of those you seen in store on the news on Black Friday spending money like drunken sailors have any intention of paying off what they charged. They are simply looting with credit cards that they will never pay off before the unlawful looting really starts. The credit card companies are still allowing this because they probably think the government will come in and bail them out when all these people default on their loans.\u00a0 Perhaps they will, with their newly printed monopoly dollars.<\/p>\n
Dave Daubenmire — Sitting Ducks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n America has changed her stripes. In one generation we have gone from a nation of eagles to a gaggle of geese.<\/strong> The Bible calls it \u201clambs to the slaughter.\u201d We have no idea what is about to befall us. It is as if we were disconnected from reality\u2026nothing more than the latest episode of \u201c24\u201d\u2026oblivious to the tsunami building on the horizon.<\/p>\n Do you remember watching the videos of the tsunami that struck Thailand a few years ago? Vacationers stood on the beach as a massive wave swallowed them up.<\/p>\n And how about Katrina? By the thousands the geese stayed despite the clear warnings of impending danger confident to the end that they were immune to the wrath of nature and of Nature\u2019s God. \u201cIt can\u2019t happen here.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, there is another storm rolling in over the horizon and this time we are not lambs and we are not geese. Although we are just as blissful in our ignorance we are a bird of a different feather.<\/p>\n We are sitting ducks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I look at what is going on in America and I feel like a seismologist in Thailand. \u201cWhat is wrong with those people? Don\u2019t they have any common sense? Can\u2019t they see what is coming down the pike?\u201d<\/p>\n America is bankrupt. I can\u2019t believe people can\u2019t see it. The \u201cgovernment\u201d is bailing out banks. Is it just me, or shouldn\u2019t it be the other way around? Take time to ask your friends where the government gets the money to bailout the banks. You will be shocked at how ignorant they are. But what the hey\u2026I\u2019m sure they spend money they don\u2019t have as well. It\u2019s the American way. Storm Wal-Mart as the storm clouds build.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I am the eternal optimist by nature. I always see the glass half-full. As a coach I always told our guys that we didn\u2019t lose\u2026we just ran out of time. I think that statement is appropriate here. We\u2019re about to strike midnight. The two-minute warning has sounded.<\/p>\n Please understand, I am not predicting the return of Jesus, although that could certainly be near. No my friends, I\u2019m talking about the end of America as we know it. For some, the end of the world might be less painful.<\/p>\n The Bible is replete with examples where God judged nations. We are not safe from His wrath, no matter how special we think we are in the eyes of God. God is not mocked. We have not defended unborn babies, we have not protected the sanctity of marriage, we have given His children over to Caesar, and we have allowed his Name to be removed from this nation. \u201cGod shed His grace on\u201d us and to whom much is given, much is required. We will pay a harsh price for squandering what He endowed to us.<\/p>\n Like it or not folks our American economic system is on the verge of collapse. Our dollar is worthless, our factories have moved oversees, our banks are out of money, and our enemies hold our debt. We can\u2019t \u201cproduce\u201d our way out of this one.<\/p>\n We\u2019re sitting ducks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
