Opus 2014-66: Headlines: 1939 Again

Can we survive the until the next presidential election?

Actually we need to survive beyond that, until the inauguration.

Neville Chamberlain.  Barak Obama.  So much in common.  So much disaster waiting to happen.  Again.  If you don’t know what I am referring to then go do a little research into the events leading up to World War II.  See the parallels between the actions of the National Socialist (Nazi), Hitler and the Russian Socialist, Putin.  See the similar naive qualities shared by
Chamberlain and Obama.  Examine the results.

The salvation of the British people in 1939 was that they had a parliamentary system.   When they finally realized what a fool Chamberlain was they produced a vote of no confidence, called elections and voted the sucker out.  I think the monarch even has the power to dismiss him.  They replaced him with Winston Churchill who understood the nature of the German beast.

We have no such luxury.  Our presidential system has its strengths but in a time like this with a Neville Chamberlain in the White House we can only follow that advice, “Sit down, shut up, hang on, enjoy the ride.”  Being a naive fool is not an impeachable offense.

The Russian bear is rattling his saber.  The American Teddy bear is rattling his sanctions.  Remember when Jimmy Carter was in the White House and Iran was laughing at us.  The hostages saw no hope.  On the election of Ronald Reagan the hostages were set free.  Bullies and tyrants understand strength as well as they know weakness.

The danger today is more like 1939 than 1979.  Iran was hostile but weak.  Russia is hostile, armed and has a history of both aggression and paranoia. 

Pray that God withholds His hand of judgment.  Pray for revival.
