Every once in a blue moon something epic happens with the potential to change life as we currently know it. The Blue Moon is happening at the very end of August 2012. The Blue Moon is when a full moon shows itself twice within the same calendar month. Appropriately named, “It only happens once in a blue moon.” Though not indicative of an actual color change of the moon the occasion is uncommon, and therefore creates excitement among those who reside below it’s majesty.

The Blue Moon is not the only event going on of big proportions. In fact and truth, the more pressing reality that will affect our future is the race for the White House in the 2012 election. This article supports Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts for President of the United States and is composed in the wake of the Republican National Convention which just concluded last evening, 30 August. It was a very uplifting and positive convention. In my opinion it was among the best since the Ronald Reagan years. In relative proportions it ranks right up there with President Ronald Reagan’s “ Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall” speech.
Tear Down This Wall By Ratnesar, Romesh (Google Affiliate Ad)
I’ve never known such a dark and dismal outlook of our nation’s future as I have at this time in history. As I’ve mentioned numerous times on other writings we’ve become a nations of moral and ethical compromises of personal principles. On top of that we’ve just come out of a major war of bankrupting proportions. In addition, we are in the midst of skyrocketing government corruption and expansion. Never has the United States questioned even the very citizenship or agenda of it’s President as it has President Barack Obama. The loom of endless debt reigns over this nation like a dark and cold tomb.
This isn’t what we, as a nation, need in the highest office in all the land and world. It is not the virtue and character our Founding Fathers envisioned to lead a free people of liberty. When Barack Obama was elected I gave him my benefit of the doubt. I did not support his campaign and the superficial promises sickened me. His endless rhetoric of entitlements and programs designed to bring men to bondage was very disturbing. Yet, the people voted for him and I had hopes that I was wrong and that the country would take a path promised us by this man. To submit willingly, at this point in time, that our great country is on a prosperous track under this administration would be to blindly walk onto an active railroad track. We are not on a road to recovery. We are on a bobsled to financial collapse and moral quagmire.

Though unpopular in today’s world of unbelief I truly believe in modern revelation and living inspiration. To me this was reinforced at the acceptance speech of Governor Mitt Romney. Let me explain what I mean. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Yes, the same as Mitt Romney - a Mormon. As such we believe that revelation is ongoing and continues today as it did in days of old such as laid out in the holy scriptures. We believe this to be vital to prepare and arm these current generations with knowledge and discernment in perilous times. We believe that God’s house is a house of order and authority. We believe in a living prophet who guides the people and corrects our wayward condition as an anchor to a ship. This he does, under the mantle of authority and power of the Priesthood under the lineage of Jesus Christ. Prophets, seers and revelators are a part of this plan and order.
A few short years ago we were in a General Conference which takes place twice a year in the Church. These conferences are broadcast via satellite across the globe into virtually every nation. At this particular conference a member of the First Presidency of the Church spoke. His name was Thomas S. Monson. His address was particularly powerful. Powerful in word, yes, but also because of the unseen power about him. For those hundreds of thousands who were looking with spiritual eyes, we saw before us a man who was being prepared for the mantle of Prophet. It wasn’t many months after that our beloved prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley, went the way of all the earth and joined his lovely wife beyond the veil. This process was remarkable and highly inspired. To those who “saw,” it was an unmistakable testament to the living workings of God. But why would I bring up this experience now?
The GOP Republican National Convention was filled with great addresses. Words were spoken from the heart and bore witness of the character and history of Mitt Romney and his family. A positive outlook for the future of this nation resounded the walls of the convention. A true belief was prevalent that America can get back on a productive track under the leadership of Mitt Romney. However, when Governor Romney offered his address Thursday evening a familiar tone and look became clear. His words were strong and confident but supporting the words were an unseen mantle of leadership preparing to manifest itself before the world. To the eye and heart it was a living will of the Father that this man should be the next President of the United States. It was evident and refreshing to see answers manifesting in such as manner.

It is a joy to see Mitt Romney’s running mate choice of Wisconsin U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan. Aside from similar political views I believe there is a great opportunity for their two separate religions to be more connected. Romney, of course, is a Latter-day Saint (Mormon) and Ryan is a Catholic. Catholics and Mormons have a history of working together for the welfare of those in need. Yet, in many places they have a history of ill-will and animosity. I believe that the union of these two individuals may open the way to improved relations and opportunities between the two remarkable faiths.
I have particular interest in this area of their relationship. My wife and I were invited to the home of a good friend who is a priest among the Catholic faithful. He graciously invited us to dinner and to view the Mitt Romney acceptance speech. We’ve developed a great relationship of trust over the past several years. We share common views of the world and how we can be stronger as one then separate as a people. We know that hearts can be changed and strengthened by understanding one another. And so it was, a Catholic and a Mormon watching the nomination acceptance of a Catholic and a Mormon. Uncanny but interesting - or perhaps a chosen destiny.
Make no mistake that these are perilous times. Like our Fathers in succession from Revolutionary times, extraordinary individuals are called upon and raised up in these days to save the Constitution of the United States from collapse. At the root that is what’s at stake here. The Constitution of the United States is the code and order of law for a free people under a banner of liberty. It outlines that men are individuals with equal rights and opportunities. It was never meant to offer a blanket health care plan for all Americans. Obamacare is a farce, and was falsely designed to bankrupt a health care system and demoralize a people. The Constitution was never meant to guarantee entitlements that aren’t worked hard for. People now have no reason to find work. It’s far easier and the benefits of entitlement outweigh the honesty of labor. Entitlements equals the redistribution of wealth which is an abhorrence to the inspiration of our Fathers.
I support Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States. Not because I am also a Mormon, but rather because he poses a unique hope that America has longed for. Actually, until his speech I’ve been open to facts, figures and influences regarding all candidates. I believe that being open encourages the acceptance of new information. I’ve leaned Romney’s way while being objective of all involved. I’ve been searching with my heart for answers regarding the future of our country. I’ve looked at the wreckage of the road behind us and the lack of construction workers to fix the road ahead. Then, just as was manifest at General Conference, that burning fire within presented itself during Mitt Romney’s speech. I believe that he will strive to save the Constitution of the United States and to restore this country to it’s former glory of prosperity, independence and education. Whether or not it happens depends largely on the rest of us. Will we act on the impressions we received at his speech? Will we retain that drive in our hearts clear to election day? Let us hope so, even amid the counter-attacks at next week’s Democratic National Convention. Mark my words that the race will get pretty ugly as we draw closer to that epic day.
My countrymen brethren and sisters, choose wisely while we still have the chance to correct the damage. If we don’t, I promise that we will not recognize America with hope four years from now. I still have faith that America will act on the greater God-inspired impression on the heart. Though we make mistakes, I believe that America will not be utterly wasted. Yes, by our actions and moral decay we will go through the peril of strife, sickness and even death in America. Our Founding Fathers were inspired to prepare the foundation of something permanent - a beacon and light on the hill for all to see.

I'm not hopeful he's going to overcome from the loss of alienating & offending the grassroot patriots. So much for unity & consensus rather than wanting to put forth just an illusion of such. It's always been Romney's plan to put in his own version of healthcare in place of Obamacare. He will just as willingly take us into the next undeclared & unconstitutional war as Obama. I'm not saying the 2 men are not good men but they are not going to change the course of more socialism & big government with the alliances they're making. Also I had to remind myself that Romney is supposedly Republican but when he touts the government is going to create jobs I thought I was hearing FDR again (where in the Constitution is that authorized?).
