Irvin Baxter, Jr. publishes a magazine called “End Time,” has a radio show called “Politics and Religion,” and generally tries to explain the Book of Revelations to an eternally confused and fearful populace of “true believers.”
So what was he doing on the radio yesterday decrying the Bush Administration’s continued war against personal freedom?
“I admit I voted for President Bush twice and I pray each day that his administration will be wise leaders, but I cannot remain silent any longer! I know that I am going to face problems for speaking out, I can see my wife right now outside the studio looking at me in horror, but we must stand up and have the courage to speak the truth.”
Truly, Baxter is beside himself. Alberto Gonzalez has announced that henceforth all internet activities of all Americans will be captured by their ISPs, turned over to the NSA and another massive database will be built and maintained by the government in its ongoing and highly inept battle against “terror.”
“This is wrong! The national ID card is wrong! Its the Mark of the Beast! America is a land of freedom and that freedom is being taken away in the name of the “War on Terror”. But this war against our freedoms is much more serious and pervasive. Once our freedom is gone, it will never come back.”
I am not sure what to make of these endtimers. Are they for it or against it? I would say for it, but Baxter seems to believe that Bush’s policies now tilt the struggle for humanity in Satan’s favor and that it is the duty of all good Christians to openly oppose these harmful policies before it is too late.
How do we fight off this satanic evil emanating from the Whitewash House?
Buy his magazine! There are 150,000 circulated every month with an average of five readers per circulated copy. 750,000 potential Democrats right in the heart of the Bible Belt!
Amen, I say, reciting the Lords Prayer after switching off the radio and reverting my attention to the white stripe down the middle of the endless road.
