Passover Is Near: Eve of April 8

The sociological compulsions of Passover 2009 are imminent and inevitable. Any human being who has ever left his comfort zone for something new and better, however difficult and fearful, has experienced the essence of Passover. Anyone who unconsciously yearns for the older way, no matter how dark, unpromising, limited, and slavish, also knows Passover.
And here we have America, so bold, so new, so grand in the beginning, now yearning for subjugation, for servile ways, for infantile status. America, racing to the womb, leaping into the dream of a carefree life. Momma Obama is the voice of that weakness, that dark place of slavery.
Moses was certainly not a liberal. Barry would have been stoned, if he ever got into the camp.

Yes, it is the original comfort zone: total dependency. Mindless, floating utopia. To leave it, to be born, to be willing to experience the rip-roaring birth, as America once did, is not something anyone seems willing to even talk about. Oh, yes, the talented talkers of conservatism wondrously glorify the ideologies of the founding fathers. But they all fail, totally, to recall the agony of birth! The talkers and the would-be conservative politicians ignore, utterly, the price paid for the implementation of those sacred ideologies of the fathers. War. Violence. Citizens’ resolve.
The fathers were willing to pay the price to be born. Today’s Americans are apparently not. America is aborting itself.
Interestingly, the yearning for a central government was a malady found in the early Israelites after they had settled in their new country. They decided they wanted a king, like all the other nations. The God-bit wasn’t working. (See, I Samuel 1-8, especially ch. 8.) They couldn’t live by principle. They couldn’t live as independent tribes or families. They wanted a visible, commanding person, to handle everything. To wit, they wanted a nation–their idea of a nation. An old idea, a hackneyed idea. An Egyptian idea. They wanted to go back to Egypt, sociologically.

Samuel told them what a central government would bring:
11And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.13 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

Sound familiar? Yet, this old way they thought they preferred. The new way had proven too difficult for the early Israelites. They remembered the former comfort zone, and they naturally inclined themselves thither. This is human nature. This is what every person does, and all people do.
They failed in their understanding of Passover. They did not see the essence of nationhood in the story or its outcome. America has entered upon the same path. It is spiritual indolence. It is the weakness of the flesh. It is the ego’s poor negotiation with the libido. It is falling backwards. It is surrender.
This is Barry’s message America. This is the demagogues’ message. This is the Democrat and Liberal globalist message. Surrender. Submit. Relax. We’ll take care of you. We know you want to be taken care of.
It is a careful wooing, a delusional doping, a siren song to seduce the nation of its own soul. And it is working, marvelously. It’s worse than gambling. It’s all about spending money that doesn’t exist. It is an irresistible appeal to selfishness, laziness, insecurity, and cowardice. This is where Barry leads, masquerading as “president of the United States.” What United States? The country doesn’t even exist any more. It is gone with the wind.

It all happened without a shot fired. All accomplished by traitors who knew human nature all too well.
