Ok, a few things I don't get:
1. How is Barack Obama the antichrist? I'm the son of a Methodist preacher and have heard all of the fire and brim stone sermons before. I have even read a great deal of end time prophacy and I just don't get it.
2. How come every time a new advance is made in science, a perticularly ominous sounding year passes, or a minority group gets another right there are always doom cryers? Isn't it some kind of sign that the world keeps NOT ending? If you're basing this on the Bible then doesn't it say that no man knows the hour? Stop using your religion as a means to hate. That is not what Jesus taught. Matthew 22:36-40 (King James Version)
On the Democratic Congress and President: Hopefully the implied cooperation will be able to expidite the traditionaly slow government processes so that our country may move more nimblely when it is needed to, and, with the economy in it's current shape, I believe there will be plenty of need for swift action in the near future.
God Bless

To all concerns..in thoughts... Fred Harris from CA....said it all...For The Christain people , God will be with us and our children..
The Anti-Christ, the mark, scanning, debt cards, will be counted for every move you make, date, location, time, address and of of course your # Social Security will be your ID ..
You will accept the mark or die with your head chopped off....Folks,, its written in your Bible... for the days shall come, in the last days...and we are nearer then you think! Be aware, The Kings James Version Bible, from the beginning to the end of times...READ YOUR NEW TESTAMENTS ...ACTS 2:38 AND REVELATIONS...TELLS YOU ABOUT THE ONE COMING!
Those who voted the one elected... are non Christain..For if they were Christain, the wisdom of God been applied to go....the rightous way ,The signs were given to you before your eyes and you heard the say.... For America has been Damn , the Freedom we once had will be taken from you..and yours! Thanks to the ones who lead the Blind..Evil has bought..your Soul.....
