A few nights ago I was listening to “World Wide Christian Radio” coming out of Nashville, Tennessee USA.  I picked it up somewhere around 5Mhz and was attracted by some economic talk which I later determined was an advertisement for gold.  It had some fun stuff from the panic-spreading right so I kept it on for a while.

The announcer talked about how 11 billion dollars are going to be printed and that our currency was going to be devalued so much that gold will be the only real effective means of exchange.  Also he stated that it’s important that you “buy gold now” before the dollar drops so much that you don’t have any purchasing power.  He then went on to detail how people in LA are going to riot again when it gets hot out, so gold would be a useful thing to have.  Finally he pitched the phone number to call about five times before being cut off.

The programming started with a gentleman talking about how Obama has claimed he will halve the defecit by the end of his term because he knows that the world won’t be around for the end of his term.  You see, the world is ending in the next four years so Obama can spend billions and say anything he wants.  That’s why it’s so important to be prepared.

This was followed by a discussion of how abortions have lowered the amount of people entering the labor force.  According to the guest this is part of the reason for our current financial crisis.  If those aborted people had entered the workforce we wouldn’t be in the shape we are currently in.  He then proceded to talk about how the UN is trying to pass resolutions that will prevent parents from being able to control their kids.  He claims that we hold treaty law higher than our constitution and as such parents will lose their ability to raise their children in a responsible manner.  He implied that because of these UN resolutions children will be given access to birth control, which will send the message that “sex is OK”.

One of my biggest fears is that people will associate the liberty movement with the fanatical right because of the many areas of overlap.
