This is bad...

Yup, these days I'm more prone to not saying or writing a word. Either that, or I'd let lose some floodgates and go on for pages. But I don't really feel like it and doubt it would be anything for me but a whine. So, frak it...
However... This... is... bad...
We are well and truly frakked if she comes to power.
Realize, the feelings are now high that she is connected via her church to something called Joel's Army, which is claimed by it's founders as:
an Armageddon-ready military force of young people with a divine mandate to physically impose Christian "dominion" on non-believers.
"An end-time army has one common purpose -- to aggressively take ground for the kingdom of God under the authority of Jesus Christ, the Dread Champion," [Joel's Army founder, Todd] Bentley declares on the website for his ministry school in British Columbia, Canada. "The trumpet is sounding, calling on-fire, revolutionary believers to enlist in Joel's Army. ... Many are now ready to be mobilized to establish and advance God's kingdom on earth."
Joel's Army followers, many of them teenagers and young adults who believe they're members of the final generation to come of age before the end of the world, are breaking away in droves from mainline Pentecostal churches. Numbering in the tens of thousands, they base their beliefs on an esoteric reading of the second chapter of the Old Testament Book of Joel, in which an avenging swarm of locusts attacks Israel. In their view, the locusts are a metaphor for Joel's Army.
(emphases mine)
Y'all vote for this, and that's what you're gonna get, I'll wager.
And I'll say this. Pretty much anyone who's eyes are reading my words will be early targets for their "physical" and "aggressive" imposition of the selectively decided laws of a small group of elites.
You know what bugs me the most - not what scares me, but just bugs me - these folks, I'll bet ya, have never really read much of the Bible. Just one-liners.
As someone who's read a chunk of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament (no, not all - YOU try reading the whole dang thing!) and pretty much all of the New at one time or another, I feel it's safe to say they don't even know what the frak they're talking about.
Simplest case-in-point, one that always bugged me: anyone who thinks "speaking in tongues" in the book of Acts means making sounds of that no one can understand, appear as if they never actually read the book. It's a very simple concept, really: in the section of the book, the evangelizers spoke and, as the story goes, everyone else heard the words in their own native language.
It's really quite simple - it's like everyone got a Babel Fish.
But if they didn't know this, if they didn't read the book of Acts (it's, you know, kinda an important story in the New Testament), then I doubt they've read anything else, either.
But, I suppose that's a personal quibble.
Being killed by power mad thugs however, is not.
It's frakking serious.

Oh, I disagree. We'll be far more than frakked if she's in the White House. what a wild ride this nation is on. and to think that we're prepared to elect a little-known chick from the great north! it shows you exactly where we're at as a nation, and it's not pretty. By the way, I was going to be in Boston for a day and was going to see if we could arrange dinner...but, things have changed, and I'm flying directly into Albany instead for a visit. Maybe some other time.
She's quite a distraction, isn't she? With everyone focused on her, all sorts of things could slip under the radar.
yes. she does scare me.
and like erik. i believe this to be some kind of magic show. keep us occupied. while other things are going on. slipping by unnoticed.
big fucking happens to all of us.
i'm with erik, this woman scares the crap out of me and yes i believe she is a major distraction for something much worse..just can
t put my finger on it but no good can come of this if they get in
frak? frakked? fraking?
Atari, my friend, what the frak is that all about? You know what you want to say and so do we; just say it!
YOu know, she just keeps getting better and better!
