Here are some Biblical verses with the word fool in them:

I would stand by my vote that America has been a ship of fools and I among them. I was not prudent and was deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding of what has transpired. Thank goodness we are all able to become wise and always seek wisdom and understanding.

According to the latest poll Obama has a 50% approval rating. I would have to say that at least half of the people are fools.

Good point!

I would have to wonder about the other half as most are voting for the same system only a different pirate in charge of the ship. I would suggest that the percentage of fools would increase from 50% to a much larger number.

We were all fools at one point and time... But it is time to man up.

The Roman poet Juvenal wrote in the first century: Give the people bread and circuses and they will never revolt. What was true then is still true today... except now it's food stamps and TV!

Of course the public school system doesn't help much either.

The situation in Europe isn't better. The governments over there learn fast - from our example.
I was lucky enough being in their school system when they still taught something instead of just preparing kids to pass tests.

Whether one causes or allows something to happen doesn't lessen the fact of his/her guilt. Laziness and irresponsibility are key signs of foolishness according to God's word. So yes, we are a ship of fools.

Americans aren't the only ones who have been fooled by the powers that be, but we carry the greater blame since so much of this has happened on our watch, in our own backyard.  Too much faith in public institutions like:  public television & media, public schools, has built in us a belief that the greater the population of voting idiots, the greater the intelligence and power.  30 years ago, I realized America was a psycho ward and I had been just another one of the patients.  The machine is working perfectly for the banks.

The only solution is to withdraw;  if enough people can be awakened, the machine will die for lack of interest.  Ignore the police; ignore the regulations, kill your TV, etc., but it must be done locally, nationally and continually.

The standing law of God is the only real anchor.

There was not a good choice to be made in this poll.  We either had a choice of No or a choice to blame it on Americans.

King James Bible
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see,
and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.  Romans 11:8

There are many references within the Bible that confirm this passage. 
Deuteronomy 29:4; but to this day the Lord has not given you a mind to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear

We are dealing with many false profits and indoctrination tactics,
not to mention that we are built deaf and blind.  Where then is the truth written? 

I profess that those that don't understand what the truth is, it was always intended to be that way. 

Quote:


There is a maxim, that I am sure that can be found in the Bible... Let those who wish to be deceived, be deceived.

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4. It goes on to say, "But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship,...discharge all the duties of your ministry (service)." 2 Tim. 4:5

I should also add that there are numerous times when God said (in various contexts) in His Word "Do not be deceived...". This tells me that we have the choice (or ability) to be deceived if we are slothful, idle, foolish, etc. Jer. 37:9, 1 Cor. 3:18, Eph. 5:6, 2 Thes. 2:3, Gal. 6:7, Jam. 1:16, Matt. 24:4, Mk. 13:5.
