News Flash: Vampirism Alive and Well!

I have some shocking news for you; I believe in Vampires! Now before you get all lathered up, let me explain!

I'm not talking about the blood-sucking Bela Lugosi type vamipires. I believe them to be as fictional as ever! But have you ever heard of energy vampires? These would be the folk that drain the very energy from your soul everytime you are around them!

They are downers man! You know the ones who are always complaining about their circumstances or other people. After a few minutes in their presence, you just want to go and lay down somewhere!

Then there are the Vampires who are the subject of today's blog...Social Vampires!

Social vampirism is very much alive and well, and is having a devastating effect on our national resources and psyche!

A social vampire is not so easily recognized, but here are some clues:

• They believe in wealth re-distribution, high taxation, and near if not total reliance on 'government'. (Marxist/Socialist)
• They confuse what people ought to do with what they must do, and have little compunction about forcing them to do so!
• They preach victim-ology, and want to make sure that you know that somehow you are one!
• They preach rights without responsibility.
• They often do not stand up to the standards they would impose on others. (hypocrites)
• I suspect that deep down they really hate America. (Since I cannot prove that, we'll just keep that between you and me.) (change?)
• They support & promote the so-called 'separation of Church & State' doctrine, even though they cannot find it in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, or any founding document.
• And they do not understand that being an American has less to do with where you were born, and more to do with your your love of Liberty!

The misunderstanding of these last two items has done more in the past 100 years or so to suck more life out of this country than anything else!

As I said, they are not so easily recognized, unless you know what to look for. They have been known to walk in the daylight and be immune to garlic. However, once exposed to the truths of the Gospel, or the marvelous light of God's Word, they will often shrink back from it! On rare occassions however, God's Word can get through to them, and they can be healed!

How does one arm one's self to do battle with the social vampires? Study and know the Word of God, and Study and know the Constitution! And for the love of God, never vote for one!
