The politics of Attack Helicopters, Angels, rigged elections, and… and… a certain Laudie

A detail of the ad orientem window behind the altar of Holy Souls Hermitage, October 2012.

What looked and sounded like an AH64, the U.S. Army’s most awesome Attack Helicopter, paid a visit the other day. I tried to get a picture of it as it whizzed by the Hermitage, but, alas, it was too quick this time, just on the other side of the canopy. The army comes alone. The marines, with their super-cobras, come in pairs. Fighters can be alone or follow one another. As I say, with this being a practice area, this is surely the most protected airspace in the world.

Don’t think for a second that guardian angels don’t also use natural means to protect us — should that be God’s will — from harm’s way. Part of those natural means involve the military, those who go out of their way to put themselves in harm’s way on our behalf, to provide for us also the possibility of the freedom to practice religion (not just worship, but acting upon religious conscience in the public square). We owe not only our angels, but our military an eternal debt of gratitude. They take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, even though the president and his cronies do not. I love that.

I might have written on this recently, but I’ll repeat it here. There’s some talk of the black ops crowd supporting Obama more than any other previous president, including Reagan, for the reason that Obama gives them free permission to kill anyone and everyone they think they should kill. In other words, overtime pay, scalp hunting regardless of any connections to terrorism of whatever potential targets.

I doubt this. I mean, honestly… But should there be any such un-American people, I would ask them to consider this. There have been some events of recent weeks which would make one think that Obama is giving free reign to Islamicist terrorism. We have a dead ambassador. Obama rationalized the goodness of that act of war against the U.S.A. by saying that someone, somewhere in the world made an insulting youtube entry. Indeed, it would now seem that one is to protect terrorists from capture while not protecting their targets from harm. I’m thankful that there is much more chatter that finds any such talk of any such un-American black ops crowd to be insulting and dishonest. Great.

I wish the  Military would take charge of protecting us from a rigged election. Let’s do a test as the absentee vote begins in the next weeks. I was on the road with the neighbor  the other day from Asheville all the way up the mountains, dozens and dozens of miles. Of the hundreds of political signs, there wasn’t not even one Obama sign. Extremely few are for Obama. If he ‘wins’ here, you have to know that the election was rigged.

At least there is a certain Laudie to provide a bit of normality amidst the mayhem that would ensue. Another way, I think, that guardian angels work.
