Matthew 7:15-16
"Beware of false
prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous
wolves.
NKJV
The tax season is finally beginning to wind down, which
means I have time to prepare my own taxes reminding me of the old saying, the shoemaker’s
children have no shoes. It also means I
can return to regular posts to this blog, something I passionately enjoy.
Even though I have not been posting to this blog, I have
been paying close attention to what is happening in the news. As we have known for some time, the world is
becoming more and more dangerous and our so-called leaders seem to be turning
their backs on these dangers. Instead of
confronting the very serious threat of ISIS like Jordan (1) and Egypt
(2),
our President holds a conclave at the White House and criticizes Christianity
while claiming that the ISIS is not Islamic even though the first I in the
acronym is Islamic (3). I believe the reason for this is the
President is in denial about the truth of the brutality of Islam due to growing
up in a Muslim country.
Then we are to somehow believe that granting legal status to
those illegally in our country, allowing them to compete for an ever-decreasing
number of jobs is going to create a boom to our economy. Not only will these amnestied individuals be
competing for jobs, they will also be able to participate in our nation’s
already strained entitlement system and even be able to amend up to three years
of tax returns, and receive an estimated $24,000 in tax credits.
Then there is the Trojan Horse of Net Neutrality. I equate this with the Trojan horse because
supporters believe this will insure fast and affordable internet service for
all. The truth, however, is that this
will serve to provide equally slow internet service for all, similar to what they
now have in Europe (4). Net Neutrality regulations are also a foot in
the door to government control of internet content, something that could limit
or even shut down blogs such as this one.
Just as the gift of the Trojan horse led to destruction, Net Neutrality
will lead to government destruction of the Internet and the forum of free
speech it provides.
Have we not learned from Obamacare, which promised cheap and
affordable health care? As we now look back,
we are beginning to see that Obamacare too is a Trojan horse that looked good
to supporters but now has led to the destruction of the best healthcare system
in the world. I had several individuals
come to me this year to have their taxes done only to discover that I as their
preparer had to ask them if they, their spouse, and all their dependents had
health insurance. One individual even
asked me what that had to do with taxes to which I responded, “I guess someone
in Washington thinks it is a good idea.”
We have now discovered the Trojan Horse of Obamacare and the only
solution is a complete repeal before the destruction of the healthcare system
is complete.
Over the next three postings to this blog, I will be looking
at what I believe are three more Trojan Horses that threaten to undermining our
nation. We will be looking in greater
detail at the Trojan horses of Net Neutrality, amnesty, and religious
tolerance. My hope is this study will
help us as a nation to avoid future destructive Trojan Horses like Obamacare
and return this nation to its constitutional roots.
John 8:32 tells us that knowing the truth sets us free. Please feel free to share these postings with
others so we can spread the truth and its liberating powers and avoid the
destruction of lying Trojan Horses.
