political games

Rather than do the right thing for middle income and lower American families,
Republicans now push through a bill that will help at the expense of the elderly,
cut unemployment benefits to people who have lost their jobs at the hands of their
beloved "job creators"... and,
try to ram through a rider on the bill that will endanger the environment without
regulation, all in order to keep billionaires and oil companies from paying taxes
AGAIN/STILL...

... so they put this on the desk of the President, knowing that he must veto it to
have any integrity, and end up looking bad... (unless people see through it)

games at the expense of working Americans, the few left who have jobs...

and people vote for them?  who?  only the wealthy and powerful and those who
aspire to be that at the expense of others around them? ... for they are the only
ones who benefit from them being in office!

morality?  what morality?  doing what is best for America?  which America?
certainly not the middle class, lower middle class, working poor and poor in
America... only the wealthy and powerful... only themselves...

... and some of them profess to be "CHRISTIAN"?  really?  that is following
"The Christ"?  really?

these are the same ones who want to keep taxes low for the "job creators" in the
hopes that out of the goodness of their hearts they will hire people back... so far,
companies MAKING MONEY are choosing not to re-hire folks, but work the
ones left harder instead... more profits for stockholders and bonuses for execs...

the sad thing to me is the propensity for ANYONE not wealthy or powerful to
be duped (again) into believing that someday they will actually be let into that club
(including Herman Cain)... this is an elite group that got its wealth and wants to
expand its wealth and keep it on the backs of others "below" them...

"by their fruits you will know them" - Jesus
Please, Lord, let me be loving in ALL aspects of life, society, community...

  1. I certainly agree with the "work the ones left harder instead"...my employer has been doing just this for some time. I advise new driver trainees who have family against going driving. Used to be 6pm was a late night. Now if you are in before 6 they want to send you back out. I thank God my kids are grown because I would put them ahead of work...wouldn't be long before I had no job...or no marriage (divorce rate for drivers is around 70%) It is a very sad world we live in at the moment. The line between the middle/lower incomes and the wealthy keeps getting wider. Third world countries keep getting poorer. Seems like a good/right time for Jesus to return!!! Prayers!!!

  2. This is why I am writing my book...
    Jesus, what do YOU want? Politics and Economics in the Gospels

    I am 3/4 finished and hope to find a publisher to put it out in the Spring, before the election...

    If we would only heed what Jesus TAUGHT and EXEMPLIFIED!

    Thanks for your comments, Stran. I will pray for you. Pray for Justice and Work for it... Agape Love is committed ACTION on behalf of the "other"!
    Peace!
