My Thoughts on a Former President

Many of the people who are patriots of our nation have no clue of the danger that is lurking at our doors. Terrorism is not the real threat to us, it is only a symptom. Illegal immigration is not the real threat to our nation. In writing this I certainly do not mean to sound so negative, or opposed to our nation, but I am really trying to defend us, and get us headed in the right direction.

The real threat to our nation is the idolatry pervading our land. The idolatry of technology, medicine, money/finance, recreation, comfort, convenience, even the idolizing of our children. Globalization is also an idol of many. The people involved in this seems to thing if we could just have one world peace, one world economy, one world religion, then all would be well. That is a farce.

When we have a former President of our Country saying that our nation is evil for its support of Israel then, we have problems, and I for one am glad to call him a “Former President”. The man no longer has a heart for our Country. It seems more that he has his heart set on being a world leader, than a man of God, I once thought him to be. I have never thought Jimmy Carter to have been a good President, but I did see him as a good Christian, he seemed to care for the poor, and our nation, but not any longer. He would give us all over to the hands of Satan.

The following is a quote printed from Baptist Press concerning Jimmy Carter’s comments at a human rights conference in Dublin, Ireland on June 19, 2007;

“The United States and European Union should recognize the terrorist organization Hamas as a legitimate component of the Palestinian government, former President Jimmy Carter said at a human rights conference in Dublin, Ireland, June 19.Hamas, he said, had won free and fair elections in 2006, making the United States’ refusal to aid the Palestinian faction and recognize its right to govern a “criminal” act.Carter said he believes both Western governments and Israel are favoring the rival Fatah party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, which now only governs the West Bank. Fatah also governed the Gaza Strip until Hamas fighters violently overthrew the party there earlier in June. Hamas, which executed members of the rival party in the street after its victory, had prevailed over the Fatah-controlled security forces in Gaza because of its fighters’ “superior skill and discipline,” Carter said.”

It is despicable, at least to myself, to hear a former leader of the United States of America say such traitorous things. It certainly shows he has no idea of God’s promises to the Nation of Israel. The trouble makers in the Middle East is not Israel, but the Palestinians. Their own proclaimed goal is the extinction of Israel. When will this former leader open his eyes and see the truth? Maybe he has a personal agenda in this. If he thinks he is a “Peacemaker” as in Jesus’s words, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9), he had better rethink that thought. It does not fit with the agenda.

My thoughts from June 28, 2007 are still the same.

Reading Books

Let me tell you what I am in the process of reading.  I bought a copy of a book by Joel Rosenberg, titled “The Twelfth Imam”.  I have read two or three of Rosenberg’s books before, “The Ezekiel Option” and “The Last Jihad” from the local library.

His books are novels, and are published as political thrillers, and they often have a Christian message in them.  Don’t let that stop you from reading them.  I am not writing this as a review, but to let you know I am enjoying the reading of it.  Once I start  it is hard to put down.

Rosenberg is a Jewish, and a Christian.  He also has a blog I have an e-subscription to.  It is Joel C. Rosenberg’s Blog.  You may find it interesting and informing as well.

“The Twelfth Imam” is pretty much set in the Mid-East, and deals with the life of a young man; David Shirazi; aka   Reza Tabrizi, a CIA operative in Tehran, Iran.  This story line is right along with many things happening in the Mid East.  Things we hear on the evening news and some things you and I might suspect are going on too.

You can probably find in your local library.  If this tickles your fancy, get it and read to your hearts temporary content.

Yeah!  Even folks who live along the banks of Flat Creek can read. 🙂
