ICG’s Mark Armstrong on the USA Presidential Race

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Last night ICG’s Mark Armstrong sent out the following:

Do I need to tell you that we are in the middle of one of the most disgusting, disheartening political campaigns in memory? The future of the U.S. is in more jeopardy than at any time since the ignominy of the late 1970s. This time it looks like we’ll be heading into a phase of income redistribution, government regulation, mandatory health care insurance and an abyss of “funding global warming initiatives” no matter who wins. Will we still recognize this nation five or ten years from now?

Obviously, we don’t campaign for or endorse anybody, and that’s a good thing! Which of these wannabes deserves an endorsement? If you have warm, fuzzy feelings about one of these candidates, please accept my apology. But, regardless of party, it appears that our sovereignty, national security and domestic economy are all prospective casualties of the current frontrunners. If you think it’s hard to swallow now, wait ‘till this time next year!

In nearly all those points, I am in agreement with him.

After watching Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama a couple of nights ago, I remain of the view that the USA will someday most likely have a female president (even if she gets there as vice president and the president is killed).

When I wrote about Hillary Clinton a few weeks ago (Might Hillary Clinton Partially Fulfill Bible Prophecy?), I considered adding the following scripture as well:

The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower (Deuteronomy 28:43).

I believe we are certainly getting close to the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7) (see also Who is the King of the North? Is there one? Do biblical and Roman Catholic prophecies point to the same leader? Should he be followed? Who will be the King of the North discussed in Daniel 11? What is prophesied to happen to the English-speaking peoples?).
