Crazy Nuts Still Crazy Nutting

They never seem to notice that it doesn't happen.
According to a 2006 study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, a third of white evangelicals believe the world will end in their lifetimes. These mostly conservative Christians believe a great battle is imminent. After years of tribulation—natural disasters, other cataclysms (such as the collapse of financial markets)—God's armies will vanquish armies led by the Antichrist himself. He will be a sweet-talking world leader who gathers governments and economies under his command to further his own evil agenda. In this world view, "the spread of secular progressive ideas is a prelude to the enslavement of mankind," explains Richard Landes, former director of the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University.
Uh huh. Secular progressive ideas = the enslavement of mankind. Just ask FDR and that New Deal nonsense. It's like we've been working on a plantation ever since.

Let's be honest. It's just white people freaking out because a black guy is in charge.
