"A humanist misfit"... Well, better than excrement I guess. Do you happen to recall what prompted Ike to say that of Brennan? Since I doubt you read Brennan's speech, let me give one quote:
" If we are to be as a shining city upon a hill, it will be because of our ceaseless pursuit of the Constitutional ideal of human dignity.". Also, how can a person read Revelation 18 and at least not give pause to ponder the rise of the corporate state and the worship of mammon as the ultimate devaluer of the dignity of the individual human being? "Blessed are the poor...woe unto the rich"?

LOL, it's always amazed me to see that so many people whose pastimes are so thoroughly dominated with rock throwing happen to live in glass houses. Revelation Chapter 18 speaks of the day, and in fact the mere lapse of 'one hour' in which the world system of finance will fall.

That's why your diverse portfolio will not be spared in that day. One nation's wealth will not be in question, it will be the wealth of the world. There will be no fall back, no safe haven in which savvy investors can shelter their money. James 5:3 (KJV)
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
