Only a few days remain before the New Year begins. I wish, and hope for a happy and prosperous New Year for everyone.

However, I don’t ever recall so many people awaiting the New Year with such trepidation. I’m not referring to all the half-witted predictions espoused by those who believe in a fiery Nostradamus prediction or a Mayan Calendar “end of times”. The economic realities of a $15 trillion national debt, hundreds of trillions-worth of unfunded liabilities, and the fact that America now borrows (mostly from its most implacable enemy – China) forty cents out of every dollar, may well spell-out our economic end times.

The liberal ethos, especially regarding moral and economic issues, and in particular the new wave of anti-Judeo-Christian culture, is quickly bringing America down. It’s time to learn again the lyrics of the tune played by British troops after their defeat by Washington at Yorktown in 1781, entitled “The World Turned Upside-down”. The British couldn’t believe, as the world’s greatest military power, that they had lost the war. The first stanza reads: “Listen to me and you shall hear, news hath not been this thousand year:
Since Herod, Caesar, and many more, you never heard the like before.
Holy-dayes are despis'd, new fashions are devis'd.
Old Christmas is kicked out of Tow.”
Our best chance for a Happy New Year, is a Prayerful New Year.

Speaking of a world turned upside-down, take a look at the specter of North Korea. This has to be Satan’s favorite playground. Suppression of the human spirit in this prison nation has been so perfected for so long that life there makes Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Stalin’s Great Terror seem like a desirable alternative. Terror has been so deeply ingrained into the people that they know almost nothing of reality. This is communism fully developed, humanity fully enslaved.

This is why the North Korean “citizen” exhibits such phenomenal (psychopathic?) expressions of sorrow upon the death of their “dear” leader Kim Jong Il. Of all the hateful, noxious nations on earth, this place, the nuclear K-Mart to the world, must be the worst.

Let’s vote-in a new president who will not bow to communist demigods like Kim Jong Il, and the ill family members.
