The Ditch

post 112

As I watch the news I find myself inclined to doubt my own interpretation.
There are lots of signs indicating America is waking up, and getting serious regarding the now clear undesirable direction to which we are heading if we do not diligently alter our course. The conservative news is full of hope.

Only when I remain in the scriptures can I see the true report, that no matter who is driving the car, it is full of drunks, or as scripture says it;

“Let them alone: They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”

Don’t you find it ironic that both our own government parties use the analogy of ending up in the ditch?
The scripture has made clear to us, in our own present day vernacular, that both parties are blind. The Lord says; Let them alone. Don’t bother trying to enlighten them… they are blind.
I am not attempting to address the parties. I am not trying to fix the government, I am not endeavoring to shore up the gate of congress. Does it need shoring or fixing? You bet it does. Are there lots of people from both parties genuinely trying to drive correctly? Yes there are. Will they end up in the ditch? NO! They have already driven it into the ditch!
This is my point.
Yet they are so drunk with hope and blindness that while stuck fast in the ditch, they are still fighting over the steeringwheel like it matters, and the rest of America (Not just the Republicans as Obama would like)*1 are in the back joining the argument.
Yet blind as they are, both parties can finally see we are now in the ditch, and the argument becomes; Who will drive it over the cliff!

This is so typical of humanity.
We cannot possibly see ourselves become like those we despise. But when we get there, we just change our focus to despise someone else worse than us!
This is why 14 year olds see 30 year olds as OLD. But the 30 year old who used to be the 14 year old no longer feels 30 is all that bad. Now 50 is old. And so it goes.

God is not concerned about the cliff, because we have already fallen off the road, which was the place we were supposed to be! In otherwords, the ditch is good enough to fail the drivers test! *2

While the parties are fighting and arguing about who gets to control the steering wheel now, the Supreme Driving Tester has gotten out of the car.

Analogy after analogy of how things work in real life somehow does not get the point across. Because being told you have inoperable cancer is really impossible to wrap your mind around.

This blog is not intended for the benefit of the government or the parties who are the walking dead for just a little longer, but for the people who will soon be climbing out of the car.
There is still a long road to travel, and now it will be a tough walk.
The next car to come along will be driven by someone you would never have expected yourself to be willing to ride with. But in the circumstances you will feel you have no choice. (more on this later)

The Economic car was drove into the ditch by the Republicans, But spending 1 Trillion Dollars to fix the bad economy is truly continuing to drive it further in by the Democrats. How again is the car BACK on the asphalt?
