Whoopie.
(And the winners won't do one single damned thing to act like statesmen and honest representatives by slowing down even a little bit the moral destruction of the nation. So not only do we get more war and usury from the winners, we'll also get more sodomy and abortion, too. Isn't democracy just wonderful?)

It isn't necessarily all doom and gloom! The destructive forces unleashed by both our temporal and spiritual 'leaders', are paradoxically clearing the way for the eventual triumph of faithful Christians...providing we remain faithful to tradition. The liberals can indulge in sodomy and abortion to their hearts' content and remain sterile. But if those Christian couples of child bearing age make a conscious effort to have 1 or 2 more children than the national average and bring up those children in the correct path, then the future will be promising.
War and usury exist in a symbiotic relationship and cannot sustain a nation. As Christians we can help our fellows avoid bank loans by engaging in mutual self help. Of course that means building up a Christian community. Not easy, but surely what we are called to do.
Thank you, Anon, for the most helpful comment. And you are correct, of course.
"...the Party of Usury and War has won."
And what is the Catholic Church? The "Party" of Financial Hypocrisy and Appeasement of Islam!
Financial Hypocrisy: The tendency to tell sovereign states how to "help the poor" while refusing to sell some of the billions it owns in financial paper (stocks, bonds, certificates, shares in holding corporations, etc.) and giving the proceeds either to dioceses that have to close schools and churches -- many of which serve the poor that this church claims to love -- or to organizations helping persecuted Christians.
Appeasement of Militant Islam: Refusing to condemn in no uncertain terms Muslim atrocities against Christians (or against anybody else), refusing to use the Vatican's extensive diplomatic service to help persecuted Christians and supporting a tyrannical butcher (Saddam Hussein) when the world successfully forced Iraq to get out of Kuwait more than 20 years ago!!
The phony "Catholic Church" appeases every evil. The real Catholic Church has always opposed evil including Islam and they have opposed it with more than words.
Accuse the Modernists and Francis but be clear about it. They are NOT Catholic and neither is their appeasement of Evil.
Let's not forget about Carrol Quigley's view on this ...
“The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in details of procedure, priority, or method …..Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but WILL STILL PURSUE, with new vigor, approximately the SAME BASIC POLICIES.” -Carroll Quigley Tragedy and Hope (1966) pg 1247
Who the Hell is Carroll Quiqley and why the Hell should anyone pay attention to what he says?
Anyway, a nearly 50-year-old description of the American political scene does not accurately describe what's happening now -- especially once the Leftist wing-nuts took control of the Dumbocrapic Party.
@Joseph D'Hippolito
By the reasoning of your statement, why should anyone study Aristotle? How could 2000+ year old philosophical rambling possibly be relevant today?
That line of reasoning is also repeated by the Modernists in the Church when dismissing pre-Vatican II theologians
There are patterns in history which repeat themselves, being aware of these patterns may help people gain greater awareness and prepare. See also Ezekiel 33:6 And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.
Make no mistake, Carrol Quigley was a faithful watchman
The above passage that I quoted has relevance today evidenced in the 2012 US Presidential election candidates who differed only in degree and not in kind.
Carrol Quigley (1910-1977) was Catholic and a historian at Georgetown univ. Notably he wrote Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time (1966) and The Anglo-American Establishment: From Rhodes to Cliveden (1981) which to put it mildly, at least partially explain how we got to this point in our socioeconomic and political history. He was allowed access to the historical records of the "power elite" groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Milner Round Table group which were/are very influential.
Please see Wikipedia for a general politically correct overview of his life and career --

Clarification- In my comment from earlier today at 11:22AM when I said "The above passage that I quoted ..." I was referring to my Nov 23rd 6:32PM Carrol Quigley quote and not the Ezekiel passage. sorry about the ambiguity
