Politics and religion—nothing else matters more

I'm puzzled when people say politics and religion don't mix like to do so is driving drunk.

• Have you ever been in a black church? 
• Should abuse of unborn children not be spoken of in church because it's been political since 1973,
• or in the state house because that evil is Biblical for the last how many thousand years?
• What about women's rights? Is stealing the value of women's labor a sin or a political wrong?
• Right to work union abuses? Forcing a teacher or contractor to pay dues to support something they don't agree with is what? 
• Is polluting the rivers and lakes only political, or does the Bible address how to take care of the earth?
• You do know that the word "penitentiary" comes from the spiritual term "penitent," don't you? 
• Are crooked elected officials a political problems or a sin problem? 
• Who was it who pushed the slavery issue to the forefront of America's conscience?
• Is gay marriage a religious or political issue?
• Is ignorance of first amendment problems in the HHS Mandate a political or a church problem if it takes away religious freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution?

In the U.S. we were guaranteed at one time that the state would not encroach on the church, but the state grabbed more and more of the conversation real estate, so at some point, you'll just have to talk about it.

Obama administration attacks Tyndale

Tyndale House Publishers, which publishes Bibles and other Christian books and multimedia, filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month against the HHS Mandate of the Obama Administration.

“Bible publishers should be free to do business according to the book that they publish,” said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Legal Counsel Matt Bowman. “For the government to say that a Bible publisher is not religious is alarming. It demonstrates how clearly the Obama administration is willing to disregard the Constitution’s protection of religious freedom to achieve certain political purposes. For that reason, we are asking the court to halt this mandate.”

Obama is driving away Democrats

“In 2008, 54% of likely voters identified as Democrat or lean Democrat. 42% of likely voters identified as GOP or lean GOP. In other words, the electorate, including independents who lean towards a particular party, was D+12. This year, however, the Democrat advantage has disappeared. 49% of likely voters today identify as GOP or lean GOP. Just 46% of likely voters are or lean towards the Democrats. This is a 15-point swing towards the GOP from 2008 to an outright +3 advantage for the GOP. By comparison, in 2004, when Bush won reelection, the electorate was evenly split, with each party getting support from 48% of likely voters.”

And that youth vote Obama got in 2008?  Well, it seems they grew up and had to get jobs.  Let’s hope they look around and figure out they can’t chase his father’s socialist and anti-colonialist dreams another four years.  The current youth vote (born 18-20 years ago) are still stumbling in the dark and trying to lose their virginity vote.

Obama’s cover up of the Syrian weapons disaster

Obama has expanded the war in Iraq and Afghanistan (called Bush’s wars by Democrats)  into about 5 more countries (depends on how you count Jordan), and is replacing Muslim dictators (secular) with Muslim jihadists. I think history will show that the so called Arab Spring of 2011 was plotted and fueled by this administration. No proof yet, but it has B.O. written all over it.

The reason 4 Americans pictured above were killed on 9/11 in Benghazi isn't that they were guarding an embassy or that a mob got out of control due to a video. They were there doing work for the CIA and trying to track down what had happened to 40 million tons of arms, which were on their way to Syria. The Syrian civil war has already killed 33,000 Syrians even though the so-called rebels have our weapons (I suspect they required training). That dictator, Assad, is no prize, but it's also none of our
business.

Our leader, our Commander in Chief, admired by Castro, Chavez and Planned Parenthood, is no prize either--probably on the level of Assad of Syria, because he would not send anyone to save the men who were there on his orders because his precious cover would be blown right before the election. He's a huge coward and traitor.

Christians were a very small minority in all those Muslim countries Obama has invaded, but at least they were allowed to live under the secular Islamist rulers. Now they will either be slaughtered because of their religion, or they will have to leave.

Now, maybe you weren't thrilled with Bush's wars, which had Congressional approval, even Joe Biden's vote, but no one but his own cronies has approved of what Obama has done, and we are
supposed to have a say through our elected representatives.

Coffee shop encounter

“What do you say!” she barked loudly to her small daughter who had just received her do-nut. “Thank you,” the little one meekly replied.

I know I did that to my kids too back in the 1970s, which is probably why I noticed (could hear myself) but gosh, it grates on my old ears now.  It kind of smacks of “Everyone look at me, I’m teaching my kid good manners (by being rude to her in public).”

We had a lot of help becoming the crass, rude, it’s-all-about-me people we are today. Here’s my own assessment.

Prayer and Bible reading were taken out of schools incrementally, which removed any thought that there was an over arching system of  justice or wisdom above Me. Today you can’t even pass out red and green M&Ms at a school “holiday party.”

A War on Poverty was launched which drove men out of their children’s lives and diminished respect for marriage, which in turn removed tacit authority of parents. A single mom making $29,000 a year, can boost her income to about $69,000 through government benefits like housing allowances, EITC, SNAP, etc.

Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) took the Catholic church in a different direction, with much misunderstanding and craziness, and the Protestants just followed along.  Happy clappy songs and sloppy loopy teachings have replaced sound doctrine and good liturgy in all Christian denominations.

With falling standards among Christians in the 60s and 70s, divorce, contraception and abortion became the trinity of free and/or marital sex and shacking up.  What’s the point of modeling good behavior?

Boomers came of age—got themselves into all sorts of messes, including war protests and Marxism.  Resulted in a lot of them becoming academics and passing it along to Gen-Xers and Next-Gen. They became sappy grandparents with low to no standards.

That’s a lot to read into a rude parenting style, but words have consequences to the 3rd and 4th generation.

The Commander in Chief made the call to leave his men behind

A sterile campaign

The Democrats have nothing to say about the economy since the last 4 years have been so dismal, so they've made "reproductive rights" their big issue this campaign. Only, they really mean the right to be non-reproductive. With all those free contraceptives, abortifacients and abortions on demand, where is the reproduction?

The buck stops with Obama

“Breaking news on Benghazi: the CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”. . .

“It would have been a presidential decision. There was presumably a rationale for such a decision. What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?”

A tangle of narrow appeals—liberals

Robert Reich, The Resurgent Liberal: And Other Unfashionable Prophecies

"Because liberal pluralism lacked any definition of the public good apart from the sum of individual claims, and also lacked a system of principles for screening and balancing such claims, conflicts grew harsher and claims more insistent. By the late 1970s, liberalism and, inevitably, the Democratic Party, too, appeared less the embodiment of a shared vision and more a tangle of narrow appeals from labor unions, teachers, gays, Hispanics, blacks, Jews, the handicapped, the elderly, and women."

Not much has changed since the 1970s, has it?

Fake outrage, but ours is real

Obama, Clinton, Panetta—listen up

Let's bring all military home and stop supplying arms to Muslim fundamentalists. This whole Arab Spring Obama joy ride is a crock, and just the flip side of "nation building," only there's no plan for democracy. Let them battle it out and we'll drill for oil at home. Our Commander in Chief, our Secretary of State and our Defense Secretary are complete ______ (fill in the blank), and not one more life should be lost to their bungling.

It's one thing for a President (Bush) to say, all peoples deserve to have democracy and we'll help. It was naive, but made a lot more sense than trying to pick the winners and losers in a civil war amongst Muslim tribes, Muslim sects and Muslim dictators. Obama has been a complete failure in picking winners, whether it is green energy companies or the Muslim Brotherhood, aka Peace and Justice Party.

If an Obama supporter reads the tragic account of the last hours of the Americans in Benghazi just reported today when all those who could've helped were told to "stand down," and doesn't change her mind, she's hopelessly lost. The Seals were CIA operatives there to track down our lost arms—lost in Obama’s attempt to take sides in civil wars and he armed the wrong guys.  They are the ones who left their compound and came to the aid of the ambassador, and lost their own lives.

I know a lot of Conservatives think the economy is the critical issue, but I can't get it out of my head that the Commander in Chief of The United States Armed Forces left his men behind. No, not only left them, but made a conscious decision not to save them. Just disgusting. And shame on Colin Powell for supporting him.

He’s perfect just the way he is

About 93% of babies with Down Syndrome are aborted.  This one survived and thrived.

Joe Biden and cue balls

I'm not going to make Joe Biden's crass comments about the size of the balls of one of the Seals a campaign issue. But here's the issue. Biden apparently knew when the bodies were returned home how long and hard this man had fought--in his bar room guy-speak he was admiring his bravery. However, when he made the "cue balls" remark, the American public and supposedly the WH, didn't know what had happened because we didn't have the video or e-mails. Another huge gaffe for Joe?

Obama’s real record on women

WomensHealth.gov is run by the Office on Women’s Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. There’s also GirlsHealth.gov, which covers issues on relationships, bullying and more. I haven't checked this, but based on how Obama is encouraging women not to procreate as a "health" issue, I wonder if these sites cover the substantial research on links between breast cancer and birth control pills, and higher suicide rates for women who have had abortions to say nothing of the STDs a promiscuous life style brings them. Aren't breast cancer and suicide health issues for women? Why fuss over hormones in meat or smoke in the lungs if you don't tell them about the hormones they are adding to their own systems?

In a 1999 legislative vote, then-Illinois State Senator Barack Obama was the sole state senator to not vote for for a bill that would protect sexual assault victims from having the details of their cases revealed publicly.

Obama likes to have personal things made public, but only when it's other people's lives. He got into office by having his opponent's divorce unsealed--sound familiar, Gloria?

Grieving

for friends and family who refuse to see the evil going on right under our noses.  They cling, not to guns and religion, but to old habits and behaviors.  They don’t want to be wrong, so they declare they are not wrong. They only watch or read news carefully filtered through the administration and are just as naïve as were the people of the USSR or the Chinese under Mao. Unless CNN or Dave Letterman suddenly see the light, I think they are close in culpability and no returning from the edge.  They disliked Bush for almost the exact things Obama is doing on steroids—out of control spending and interfering in civil wars in the middle east for our benefit.  They can’t see beyond the R or D after a candidate’s name.

 

 

Leaks and announcements on the killing of bin Laden endanger many, all for Obama’s political purposes

Obama has a kill list; he’s making the decisions.  Other countries also have drones.  He’s setting a very bad precedent with the leaks and announcements.

There is no there there

"The iconization of Obama [in 2008], the proliferation of appearances, merchandising and photo and video made many Americans feel as if they knew him, when in reality they knew next to nothing about him. This technique is commonly used by celebrities to create the veneer of familiarity, without the substance." (Sultan Knish, Sept. 1)

Now it's 2012 and the veneer has cracks, the fizz has gone flat, and the slogans are tired. He has no plan, no energy. The economy is easing, gas prices miraculously are down in the nick of time. . . but kaboom. . .Benghazi blows up. Will Americans notice he didn't send help and let them die, that he went to bed after watching it in real time and then left to party with Beyonce and Jay-Z,  that he lied to the U.S. and the U.N. and caused more deaths in the Middle East, all for his campaign that had no message?

Petty, Pretty, Pouty President

“The Obama Campaign, that strange 4 year marriage of Generation X hipsters, inner city bosses, suburban college educated boomers longing for racial healing, Big Green businessmen and shady Saudis, appears to be finally sinking beneath the waves. It isn't going out in a blaze of glory, but with mumbles of trending topics.”

This guy really has a way with words . . .

“Obama has gotten desperate. His fundraising emails walk the thin line between emotional blackmail and hysteria. Increasingly they read like Cousin Larry phoning for bail money from Tijuana. Shrilly needy they demand that we pay attention to him, that we love him, adore him and spend money on him. They are the missives of a man who cannot conceive of a life outside the spotlight, the vapid fear of a celebrity who cannot confront the real world and cannot understand why their public is walking away.”

Please God, let it be so.  We’re so sorry we turned to the golden calf and away from your precepts and laws.  Give us another chance.

Bamnesia

Candidate Obama needed the Evangelical vote in 2008; President Obama needs the gay vote in 2012.

Colin Powell

needs to change parties. This is the second time he’s supported Obama. I can see that any black would vote Obama the first time, but after discovering he's just an ordinary crooked politician who helped no blacks and probably hurt them, why give him a second chance to screw you over?

And Catholics?  They still plan to support Obama?  Unbelievable! Why not just join a liberal mainline Protestant church and stop pretending?   Catholics have standards—both Biblical and centuries of thought and research. Protestants can pretty much make up their own rules, or start a new church, so why not find one that fits your behavior? 

The Catholic church is the only organization in the U.S. large enough to compete in social services with the federal gov't and Obama intends to put a stop that that.  The President promoting the HHS Mandate and endorsed by Planned Parenthood believes in abortion for any reason, even sex selection
