Crock pot governing

"America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." - 
  --  Alexis de Tocqueville

Gentle Reader,

For today's offering let's mix some Irish stew in a crock pot and see what we have.

Take  one fat congress and add pork barrel (give to those who need it not at all AIG,  Big Banks ). Forget about those millions who went to bed hungry last night. Or the children abused while our Government talks about things other than the health and safety of each and every citizen, (the party of NO has spoken"We want power and authority but refuse to help anyone but ourselves, elect us and we'll fix things") While the  smallest  of our little  ones goes with out any help! The same party who refused to vote at all for ANY health care, talked about pulling the plug on Grandma, Which they have done for years with inaction for our neediest citizens. IMHO don't call yourself a "Christian" and not want to help your neighbor, or the family down the street, or in another state!

And while I am speaking , not as a pastor, or even as a "christian" but as a thinking American . I don't need a multi millionaire,  fake a heat attack so he can tell me that Health care is alive and well in Hawaii, when the very thing he speaks about are not available to the average person in this country! Nor do I need a failed part time ex governor telling me that what we need is more of the same that got us where we are today. 

"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience." 
  --  George Washington

Next, take the top models add sex and degradation of women by a woman (on television) target our most impressionable teens (girls) and show how they can be abused also (lessons for the sex offender?) and ignore the fact that rapes have increased by 300% in the last 10 years (neither political party wants to deal with that!) Let's throw in the killing of babies for convenience sake!

 Now add those who want the highest office in the land and are not decent enough people to say "I was wrong about sending your children  off to a war that we had no intention of even trying to win!" Both political parties did this and no one who sits in Washington D. C. is innocent. And you gentle reader, sat in the comfort of your living rooms and let those who are supposed to represent you get away with (what shall we call the slaughter of innocents?) how about genocide. The killing of our best and greatest hope! (Does this make you proud to be American, Gentle Reader?)

 When will we wake up, speak up, and act as responsible citizens and vote them all out of office?? 2010 is our opportunity to stand up for the rights of all! Poor, rich, black white, gay, straight atheist or non atheist. Jew or Gentile, or Muslim!v For if we refuse the right of the least (the minority)  then eventually we will refuse the rights  of the  many (majority).

 And just a dash of teacher, abusing students to make a good mix. Mad? You can take it to the bank (which will foreclose on your house in the morning if they haven't already).

Will you wait until God says as we do in the pubs "Time Gentlemen Time!"

Just my opinion, one man's perspective. "Speaking truth to power, comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable"

  • Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature. Benjamin Franklin (1760)

  • It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not by religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here. Patrick Henry (1765)

  • If you ask an American, Who is your master? He will tell you he has none, nor any governor but Jesus Christ. Jonathan Trumbull (1770) governor of Connecticut

  • While I do live, let me have a country, and that of a free country! John Adams (1776)

  • Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. Samuel Adams (1776)

  • To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to laud the more distinguished Character of Christian... It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. George Washington (1776)

  • Religion is deemed in other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience to be its best support... Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and His justice cannot sleep forever. Thomas Jefferson (1781)

  • Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. American is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great. Alexis de Tocqueville (1831)

  • The Bible is the Rock upon which our republic rests. Andrew Jackson (1845)

  • In God We Trust. Abraham Lincoln (1865) his last act as President was to have the inscription placed upon all the national coin

  • The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. John F Kennedy (1961)

  • Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first, the most basic, expression of Americanism. Thus the founding fathers of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be. Gerald Ford (1974)
