This prediction assumes that the United States steadfastly resists Islamo-fascism, terrorism, and jihadism during the interim. America’s steadfast policy of containment of Communism established in 1947 by Truman was necessary to slowly exhaust the energies and will of the communists. President Bush’s anti-terrorist policies, established in 2001, also require steadfast, long-term opposition until the frenzy of jihadism exhausts itself. Christian America is resilient, self-correcting, and spiritually renewing and can outlast an evil empire or a terror movement. Our Democrat Senators lead by one brings shame on the name Harry wants us to cave - LET HIM KNOW we value life more than his high price suits and presidential candidates hair cuts from others and Soros money pit... so tell him and others to shut up, man up and stand instead this insulting and dangerous whinny puny hate for Bush! 
The great challenge of a generation
“The greatest generation” fought World War II and were steadfast during the cold war and the long twilight of Soviet communism. Because of their courage and character, we are free and prosperous. Now it is our turn to fight the forces of evil, so we can pass the torch of America’s blessed heritage to the next generation.

This time, this battle is personal for all us. We are fighting for the survival of civilization, Christianity, and democracy. As Christian armies stopped the jihadist hoards at Tours and Vienna, and saved Christian Europe from extinction, this is America’s fight to preserve Christian civilization and democracy in this world. It is also a fight to save the whole world from bitter bondage to cruel Muslim dictators and terrorists. Victory is well within our power, but our patience will be sorely tested. God grant us the courage and patience to steadfastly bear the burden that providence has placed upon us.

I am glad that our president has lowered the flag at half mast and was there at VT for our fellow citizens and family who were cut down in such a cruel manner and they our deserve honoring them. Hate when it has it’s way always destroys and not only it’s object of hate but the very person hating and not from the self inflicted shot but from the heart out. One professor who survived so much hate and horror in life- first the German Camps of WWII then the Russian Communist – he didn’t run but he saved others first and then died protecting those he served.

In seeking some sense of the carnage of hate yesterday, I am thankful for one small thing, that this is rare here. That this isn’t the daily dose of evil as it is in many countries, where the count isn’t the number of people destroyed but how many times in a day it takes place.

The Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa has seen the generations of hate this is always foaming up into violence, death, destruction of God’s children and has become a core manner of life in too many places there! The only answer is to break the chains of hate by us being willing to not negotiate with evil in our own lives and then to not be afraid to speak and act in truth to others who seek to grow the poison of hate around us!

Our responsibility is to have what God wants for us, to have soft hearts and hard feet. The problem is the world teaches that we need to have hard hearts and soft feet ti not get involves except to yell at the T.V. or complain over our Frap and we have to counter that! Meaning with our soft heart we need to go and share the hope that we have – and yes it is mostly hard walking but you have to get out of your comfort zone with the soft heart that we have been given by our Father.

What can you do? Start by sending a prayer on a card to the closest church to the college and ask what you can do to help them serve those at VT, pray for the families, pray against the evil that seeks to only destroy life and so to bind it and send it back to hell  where the author of hate lives. Then speak out against the words and actions of hate that are being used today toward those seeking to protect our country from those that live to hate. Speak out to the congress, senate the presidential candidates to man-up so to speak and step up and speak about the truth about radical Islam – Dufar is just one spot, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Uzbekistan and the other “stans”. SPEAK the Truth in Love! But speak, act by protecting like the professor and be unwilling to compromise with hate!

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." -- Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)

Consider this:

Simplicity isn't simple. Complexity is simple. Anyone can make something complex. Read the front page of any newspaper from foolish Senator in Syria to those who hate us for being free... even free to make wrong choices.
You'll find complex problems everywhere. Look into your own life. You'll find complex forces at play. Complexity is the natural state of things when people live for themselves. Sophistication lies in your ability to SIMPLIFY complexity. It lies in your ability to make sense of the world around you in light of eternity and that there is someone greater than yourself.
You can't do everything you see before you. Understand what's important and what's not when life sits there in front of you. Pick your focus and act, - or as Ken Gire wrote in "Windows of the Soul" what makes you the "gladest" then do what it takes to accomplish it.
Simplicity... yes! It might also help in listening to these potential Presidential folks do they make things complex or is "Simplicity" their forte?
