trust Lucy with the football. No, Obama is NOT looking to compromise or backdown<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s my bold there. And we cannot forget the rest of his advice in light of the warnings he gives us as well.<\/p>\n

But beware of people, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans.<\/p>\n

When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But wait. There\u2019s more, Charlie Brown; much more. In fact, go read the whole passage<\/a>. It\u2019s all right there for you in the Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 10.<\/p>\n

Remember what Sun Tzu said?<\/p>\n

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Think well on that. The petition? You\u2019ll find the link over there ==>> in the sidebar, 24\/7.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
