We are truly at the beginning of a spiritual renewal for the world. (Pix heavy)

 Advertisements

A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...If the game runs sometime against us at home, we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake." --- Thomas Jefferson, 1798




May these photographs linger, in mind and heart.


It's worth looking through the photos...definitely a "whole world" as opposed to "USA" thread.   ::)  Big shock, I know...

I did find the quote ironic, as their site embraces "witches" and we're supposed to hate them, and all that...

I also found a commentary on this quote that was amusing:
Quote
Patience and the Reign of Witches (1798)

Posted by Dennis G. Jerz on November 9, 2004 9:57 AM

Have you seen this quotation popping up all over the Internet?

I thought I'd look it up, and here's the sentence that immediately precedes the selected passage:

They are circumscribed within such narrow limits, & their population so full, that their numbers will ever be the minority, and they are marked, like the Jews, with such a peculiarity of character as to constitute from that circumstance the natural division of our parties. A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over...

>>>

Of course, Jefferson was writing in a very different world than ours. Still, how ironic to see on so many liberal websites this passage from a slave-owning anti-semite who was writing it to defend the Republican Party.

Okay lets assume obama wins the election and is forrmulating his economic policies.

The grown ups around him will tell him that in the face of a recession you can`t raise taxes on businesses as it will result in lay offs and higher prices.

He will back away and the DUmmies will slowly realize that they are not going to be set for life without earning it.

He will try some token far left things that will fail as the center sees him for what he is.

DUmmies will be in tears and hysterics....saw the movie before here.

Remember how they were salivating at all of the "change" that Pelosi and Reid were going to bring to D.C. two years ago?

Yeah...hows that working for Dems and the Primitives now?

Except he'll do his looney tune anyway and claim the economic disaster would have been worse if he hadn't.

He has a far left congress at his disposal and a narcissist-socialist mindset.

He's Hugo Chavez with a suntan: all ideology, no brains and rejecting of scruples.

If he gets in, I say let him do whatever the hell he wants, as long as he doesn't try for the fairness doctrine or institute a weapons ban.  If he does, then in 2010 the Republicans will be firmly returned to control.

If he wants to kill talk radio or grab guns, then the rot is far deeper and more extreme measures may become necessary.

I'm pretty sure that the Fairness Doctrine is high on his list; the thing is, the SCOTUS is probably inclined to shoot it down.

I don't see 'Spiritual renewal' being in the cards no matter who wins, aside from the reaffirmation that we are indeed a democracy with scheduled elections that occur as planned.  More like a choice between the Children's Crusade or girding ourselves for the equivalent of the Battle of Tours.

Yes, because we all know flowers whither and die whereever republicans tread the earth and Obama makes life spring anew when his shadow passes over.
