Seeing trouble in City Hall

Question: What is the name of a pseudo-business whose employees

recently took it upon themselves to give themselves a hefty raise in

salary without the consent of the employer?

Answer: Costa Mesa City “servants.”

Question: What is the name of an organization whose employees do

no work to make the organization thrive, yet they get a higher salary

than the employers, whose know-how, hard work and commitment keep the

organization running?

Answer: Costa Mesa city “servants.”

Question: What governments tax you if you improve your property

and fines you if you do not?

Answer: The Orange County and Costa Mesa city governments.

Question: What government charges you a fee to get a permit before

you can do the work your customers give you to do?

Answer: Good old “land of the free democracy.”

Question: What state treats its residents as criminals, charging

them to drive their car and taking their fingerprints and a criminal

photo and a test, made up by some imbecile egghead, that has no worth

as far as driving a car?

Answer: The Golden State, of course.

I could go on and on describing the prison we have built around

ourselves. Believe me when I tell you the laws will get worse until

the people call out to God for help. Is America awakening too late?

Or are we on the verge of a big reality check where each of us will

have to answer to an awesome, holy god for our actions? The signs of

the times all point to a wave of judgment and toppling of all

man-made governments, and greed, bullying and power-hungry man being

brought to nought.

Are you awake enough to see that the country that is the big

terrorist bully is the one feigning a merciful deliverer? Or do you

see what evil America is doing but are too afraid or proud to admit

it?

We have become the most evil of dictatorships, so let all of us

humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, so his mercy might

fall as a gentle rain from heaven. Let us share one another’s burdens

as we see a civilization as we knew it come to an end.
