obama Doesn’t Have Any Real Answers To Fix America

By Comments:

The president, who campaigned on a promise to address rising gas prices, now talks as if they’re largely beyond his control,.

Barack Obama thinks you’re stupid. Gasoline prices are 90% higher today than they were when he took office and he wants you to think he has nothing to do with it.

obama wants to end oil and gas company tax breaks and government subsidies that average about $4 billion a year.

I bet he does want to end them because that would make gas and oil go even higher, just what he and secretary of energy Chu both want,  and it would give obama 4 billion more a year to waste on other ridiculous projects.

Revelations: Visions, Prophecy and Politics in the Book of Revelation

By Elain Pagels

REVELATION

The Book of Revelation is the strangest book in the Bible, and the most controversial. Instead of stories and moral teaching, it offers only visions—dreams and nightmares, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, earthquakes, plagues and war. In the climactic battle scene, Jesus appears as a divine warrior, Satan is thrown into a pit, and all humans who had died faithful to God reign over the earth for 1,000 years.

The author, John of Patmos, was a Jewish prophet and a follower of Jesus who probably began to write around the year 90 after fleeing a war that had ravaged his homeland, Judea. But his Book of Revelation wasn’t unique. At the time, countless others—Jews, pagans and Christians—produced a flood of “books of revelation,” claiming to reveal divine secrets. Some have been known for centuries; about 20 others were found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945.

Luca Giordano’s Archangel Michael Overthrows the Rebel Angel,’ circa 1660-5, based on Revelation 12:7-9.
