translations and intimidations

So I've heard of the "dumbing down of America" but I never thought that I would see people getting dumber so fast. Does "Freedom of Speech" still exist in America ? Hey "The Emporer has no clothes on! "
Yes, I use that a lot because it so aptly fits the "Obvious " that no one wants to talk about. To put it precisely, Obama' s "change " STINKS. Where did this guy come from? He's telling other nations what "I/WE" think, and how arrogant I/we,ve been ? This is our President, who should be representing and supporting The USA for crying out loud ! I wave the American Flag, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and "he" tears America down?

Speaking of "Freedom of Speech", I'm finding out that terms which I thought meant something , have changed. Now, to be diplomatic means "to kow tow", having an opinion means "you have a bias", Truth is now synonymous with "scare tactics".........and on and on it goes .

And .........The Church........"shhhhh, relax.........God is in Charge" . Of course God is in charge ! He's in charge of you and me ! What does the Church do? What does God say? Look in His Word ! ........ be passive ?.............or "sound the Trumpet" ? I have seen, and HATE to see "The Church" , intimidated by the world ! Sorry, but I really see that as a gross sin in The Church.
