Presidential Political Purulence - Terry James - http://raptureready.com/rap16.html
An infection is spreading among the American populace. It isn't of the bacteriological or viral sort in the biological sense. But, it is an epidemic in some ways more virulent, more septic. It seems to have contaminated society at every level--even Christian pastors I would have thought would have been biblically vaccinated against the anti-God strain.
Unrestrained by apparently any prophylactic inhibitor, such as media censorship or even Moral Majority-type protective shielding, the salacious show goes on. And, it is made manifest before the nation and the world in an observably, unabashedly shameless display.
It shouldn't surprise, one must suppose. We've had hints of such lasciviousness within the White House, particularly since JFK's passing--that is, since enough time has passed that historical spelunkers have exposed the sexual trysts in the White House of Camelot's leader way back there fifty-plus years ago. A president was later deemed a "crook" by the Watergate inquisitionist. But, other than often-expletive, deleted language discovered on the infamous recordings of the Nixon White House, there was nothing even remotely approaching the sexual goings-on like during the Kennedy White House years.
Many accounts of LBJ and his rather raw and rowdy approach to the presidency have since produced accounts of sexual debauchery in the White House. But, until Bill Clinton, all was kept in the Oval Office closet. That closet was opened for all to know when that president's activities with the young intern within the small study just off the oval room was uncovered.
That down-and-dirty activity-a paraphrase of how Obama's preacher, Jeremiah Wright, put it--opened the once-high office of the presidency to the cesspool humor and conversation once reserved for the porn magazines and shops where only the most derelict would openly venture.
Now, on the presidential election debate stages where once the all-important issues and events of our time were heard, we are subjected regularly to debased topics once only discussed in those forbidden books such as in Xaviera Hollander's The Happy Hooker.
Talk of male and female genitalia are in today's political discourse thrown about in vulgar, slang invectives as readily as Richard Nixon might have once thrown accusations that John F. Kennedy was too young and inexperienced for the presidency.
It is an astonishing thing to consider--the Nixon-Kennedy debates (or any other) as against what we are seeing now.
I remember the kind of gutter talk we are hearing by presidential candidates today thrown about by teenage boys during junior high and high school when I was in the ninth grade or so. Back then, those lunkheads--of which I was much too often one--would never deign to bring that sort of conversation out into the light of adult society.
Now, we have presidential wannabees talking about such things--right out in front of the bright lights and cameras, proudly airing their braggadocios salaciousness for the world to hear.
There is, obviously, according to the polls, a vast, reality show-type audience that is entertained by all of this new "populist" political trash-mouth talk. Those who aren't necessarily amused or entertained by it sit in silence for the most part, overlooking the degree to which the once most- respected office in the land is being debased and degraded.
Some of this silent sort, as I say, are recognized names within evangelical Christianity. It is most distressing to have to acknowledge that this is the case.
This is not to put down any one presidential candidate, or to build up another. My only exhortation to the reader is that you use much discretion and pray for godly discernment during this crucial election season. We are in prophetic times, of this I have no doubt. America is subjected to this presidential political purulence at a time when powers and principalities in high places intend to assert their wickedness upon a generation ripe for the coming Antichrist rise to power.
The Scripture that comes to mind should serve as a mirror into which we, the voters, should look, while doing our best to move in a direction other than moved the once-condemned people the Scripture depicts.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them. (Jeremiah 8:12-13)
