A RIDER ON A PALE HORSE HEADS OUR WAY

"Prediction: Abortions will be performed at community health centers. You can bet your foreclosed mortgage on that. There was always a will by this administration, and now there's a way."
Kathleen Parker- Washington Post

Here is the question that is not being addressed by anyone: if our tax dollars ARE going to fund abortion then we are participating in the death of innocent children; how do we avoid this?

Obviously, this isn't some brand new problem because we all know how the government works. Hyde Amendment or no, tax dollars have been and will continue to be funneled into support for abortion. It's always been done with a wink and a nod and we've been able to avoid the direct complicity we've all been a part of. But not anymore.

Lines are being drawn by God to separate us into those that follow Him and those that don't. This is part of the process. No more murkiness; evil is out in the open for all to see. To be guilty of sin we must realize we are sinning. Regarding abortion funding and the deaths of children; is there any doubt left?

So what do we do about it? Do we refuse to pay taxes? Which ones? We're taxed on damn near everything we do and the money collected is mixed and mingled to such an extent that we can't separate dollars spent on abortion from anything else. Do we rely on the power of the ballot box? Sure, we can try that. The ugly reality is, however, that even if we can get this thing overturned at some point countless innocent lives will be lost before then, using our money to carry out the crime, with our knowledge and our tacit consent. Do we try to opt out of the system entirely? Is that even possible?

We need some help here. The Church needs to step up and tell us what options we have available. Americans are about to be forced to begin slaughtering babies by paying for the holocaust, an action no different than picking up a knife and cutting their little throats ourselves. We are about to become part and parcel of the culture of death in ways so obvious that we WILL be held accountable. Somebody with moral authority needs to give us some direction.

Because if they don't, hell is about to ride on its pale horse down the streets of America. As people begin to internalize what has happened and how they are going to be held responsible there will be an uprising. It'll start as civil disobedience which I fear will have little impact on the machinery of murder. As it becomes apparent that our government is determined to turn us into a nation of Satanic murderers little option will be left for those of us that refuse to follow the Devil. We will follow God, wherever He leads us. He may ask us to stand as witnesses and martyrs or He may ask us to fight. Whatever, we'll have to do it. We'll be bound by the promise of greater glory to suffer the fate we will here on earth. For no matter the suffering, we know who will win.

America, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS! We don't have to keep poking God in the chest saying, "I dare ya'." Unfortunately, we will. And we are about to get what we've asked for.

Pray for discernment. Pray that you will hear God's voice. Pray that the Church will rise up and give us the direction we so desperately need. Pray for the conversion of hearts. Just simply pray.

POLLYANNA IS BUILDING HOUSES

While the NAHB and the Fed tout their make believe recovery based on wishes and slight of hand, in the real world demand doesn't exist. How can there possibly be any real need for new housing when there are so many sitting empty. And this doesn't even count the houses that should have been foreclosed but haven't been because the banks don't want to recognize the loss.

There is NO RECOVERY and there won't be until all of the debt is washed from the system. We have to face reality and deal with this problem head on. Recognize the truth; our system is beyond repair. Turn off the switch and let it collapse. We'll deal with the pain; and we know it will be really, really bad. There is no good choice or solution here and trying to just keep it creeping along is only delaying the inevitable and causing the certain crash to be that much worse.

We need to admit we are sick, take our medicine like adults and move on for the sake of future generations. It's our moral responsibility and we can't shirk it. And wouldn't Lent be the perfect time for a serious national act of contrition anyway?

"The National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday its housing market index rose 2 points in February, a sign that low interest rates and federal tax credits are boosting demand for new homes.
The builders group said the index reached 17 in February, after falling for two consecutive months.

The increase might signal that builders are feeling better about prospects after data that the job market could be improving. The Labor Department reported last week the number of newly laid-off workers seeking unemployment benefits fell to 43,000 — the lowest level in a month.

Interest rates for mortgages are hovering about 5 percent, pushed down by the Federal Reserve's program to buy mortgage-backed securities. Builders say they are seeing the effects of the tax credits of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers and $6,500 for current homeowners who move.

"Builders are slightly more optimistic that the housing recovery is finally beginning to take root," said Bob Jones, the builder's group chairman."

"The “shadow inventory” of bank-repossessed properties, as well as distressed mortgages facing foreclosure, will take nearly three years to clear at the current sales rate, according to a report from the credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s (S&P). The analysts add that during this period many servicers will likely shift their emphasis from mortgage modification to loan liquidation.

The “shadow inventory” of homes includes all delinquent loans and real-estate owned (REO) property that has not reached the market. REO property are foreclosed homes taken back by the bank for liquidation. As for the total amount of homes in the shadow inventory, Amherst Securities places the total at 7m. The Royal Bank of Scotland found 2.7m, and First American CoreLogic counted 1.7m.

S&P estimates the inventory to equal a 33-month supply of homes. Analysts added the estimate is actually conservative, as they did not assume homes not showing signs of distress would default and push the overhang of supply even further.

Furthermore, court delays, political pressure and servicing backlogs constricted the flow of foreclosures hitting the market to a trickle. These delinquent borrowers who have not received a foreclosure fuel the “rapidly” growing shadow inventory of properties, according to the report.

“Overall, it is our opinion that recent positive housing reports should not be construed as a sign that the distress in the residential housing market is abating, but rather should be attributed to the temporarily limited supply of homes on the market,” according to the report."
