Conspiracy is Not a Bad Word...

The old Google Reader has ratcheted past the 1000+ mark in just a few hours.  I think we've all heard enough about the so-called Slaughter rule to have figured out the dems will probably use it, or any other under-handed means available, to pass this monstrosity of a bill.

To put it in perspective, I've lived through the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  I watched as Jack Ruby shot Oswald on live TV.  I sat through days of non-stop coverage as JFK was laid to rest.  I objected as Johnson ushered in the "Great Society" promising to "raise up the bottom one third of poor people" (think about that stupid statement for awhile.)  The Nixon years were interesting, to say the least.  The Clinton famous "blue dress" is not something I care to revisit, and I suffered through Bush derangement syndrome.  I remember the Korean War, and while in college, watched in amazement as Sixties hippies lived in filth while imbibing untold quantities of marijuana.  Also, I saw the Vietnam War unfold on live TV (how "1984" is that?)

However, I have never seen anything like what is going on today.  And what is going on is nothing more than an agenda that has been in motion since the beginning of this country - actually, since the beginning of the world.  Is it a conspiracy?  Sure, but before dismissing me as a conspiracy wacko, let's take a look at that much maligned word.

con·spir·a·cy

–noun,plural-cies.

1. the act of conspiring.

2. an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot.

3. a combination of persons for a secret, unlawful, or evil purpose: He joined the conspiracy to overthrow the government.

4. Law. an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act.

5. any concurrence in action; combination in bringing about a given result. 

 See there?  "Conspiracy" is an appropriate word for all that is motion at the moment, and should not be  linked for all time to the word "wacko."   For instance; check out numbers two and three above.  Sounds an awful lot like what is going on in DC right now.  While you're at it, how about adding on numbers 4 and 5.  What we have is the Obama administration conspiring (see number one) to bring about numbers 2 through 5.  

 

Today, tens of thousands of people will be marching on Washington to protest this unscrupulous, and no doubt, illegal takeover of another huge chunk of our economy.  Will it change any minds?  Probably not, but it is something that must be done.  To not do so robs us of a bit of our humanity - our God given rights as individuals with free will. 

Which brings me to the most important conspiracy of all time.  Since the first angel was cast out of heaven for conspiring against God, we have lived in a world where the forces of evil have conspired to overthrow us, and by doing so, ruin God's creation.  The fallen angels have, over the years, found willing participants to join in this conspiracy. 

Do not allow these people to destroy your hope - a word bandied about these past few years in the most perverse manner.  Do not allow the sins against hope, despair or presumption, to overtake you.  The one fact we can rely on with the utmost certainty is that the forces of evil will not win.  Believing that is to lose sight of the fact that God is always in charge.  Always!
