What a Ruddy mess! We Australians awoke today to the news that we have a new (recycled) Prime Minister. Mr Rudd, or as one cartoon labelled him, Lazarudd, has managed to worm his way back into the leadership of the Australian Labor Party, and, thereby, the Prime Ministership.<\/p>\n
As I contemplate this happening and all it entails, I can only think of two pictures that seem to describe adequately the sorry state we are in. The first was an advertisement for a stain resistant carpet, upon which Pro Hart painted using food stuffs. The resultant picture caused his maid to exclaim, \u201cWhat a mess Mr Hart<\/span><\/em>!\u201d The second, and much less wholesome picture, comes from Italian politics. Some years ago, a porn star decided to run for office in that country. Her signature was to pop a breast out at public meetings.<\/p>\n I apologise for placing this second picture into your mind, but somehow these pictures combined seem to illustrate the confusion and chaos that currently marks the Australian political landscape. First, we have fouled our own domicile with the political equivalent of a childish food-fight and then left the resultant disorder for someone else to clean up. Rightly should the maid be exasperated to the point of exclamation. Second, like the politically inspired porn star, our politicians seem to be brazenly \u201cstrutting their stuff\u201d in public, placing items on display for all to see without a care in the world. Such shamelessness only illustrates that these people are completely unworthy of the positions that they hold.<\/p>\n So where are we? What did this latest little coup achieve? The simple answer is, \u201cAbsolutely nothing<\/span><\/em>!\u201d Yes, the opinion polls may have climbed a little for those die hard Labor supporters, but what concrete gains were made in the places that really matter?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s throw out an analysis:<\/p>\n Okay, nothing outstanding here. This just confirms what we already knew:\u00a0 politicians are liars and powermongers. They care naught about you and I, and much about being re-elected. So let us look at the serious issues.<\/p>\n The conclusion of the matter is that Mr Rudd\u2019s return will do nothing for our nation at all<\/span><\/em>! We and our fathers have sinned against God. We need a leader who will call us to repentance and who will lead the way in that repentance by changing laws so that righteousness is upheld<\/span>. This Mr Rudd will not do.<\/p>\n My hope is this: May God decimate the Labor Party, the Greens, the Democrats and the Independents who have helped place this nation on a collision course with God\u2019s just wrath. Labor\u2019s desire for power saw it capitulate and pander to the demands of minorities. Consequently, we have been subjected to horrendous taxes and a moral onslaught, most notably in the accruing of benefits to homosexuals, but also in the continued attack upon marriage and the family.<\/p>\n Scripture does speak: \u201cSin is a disgrace to any people<\/span>!\u201d Surely, we are a disgrace in the eyes of many, but particularly in the eyes of God. The other part of that Proverb is, \u201cRighteousness exalts a nation<\/span>.\u201d If we would see our nation exalted, we must turn from Rudd, not to Tony Abbott, but to God! We as a people must confess our sins and truly seek to follow the statutes of God.<\/p>\n Our nation is in political turmoil, precisely because God\u2019s law does not rule our land as it should. We are as a Rudderless<\/em> ship, tossed by waves, driven by winds, and at the mercy of any current. Destruction is the only real outcome in such a situation.<\/p>\n Sadly, it is the people who will once more suffer. Those responsible for orchestrating our mess, namely, Julia Gillard, Rob Oakeshot, and Tony Windsor, are all retiring on their nice government pensions with their lovely superannuation packages, while the people struggle under the burden of unjust taxes and gross immorality.<\/p>\n This is the result of \u2018porn star politicians\u2019, in whom there is no fear of God, strutting their egoistical stuff, rather than being ministers of God for the good of the people! With the Psalmist, I cry, \u201cIt is time for the Lord to act, For <\/em>they have broken Thy law.<\/span>\u201d Otherwise the Ruddy mess will continue!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What a Ruddy mess!
