Dear Readers, thanks for the support. What is going on in my world continues to be amusing, even to me. I wrote a bit back about Armageddon and such. I had read an article about a "Christian Militia" group that wanted to do bad things. The oxymoron of Christian Militia really bothered me.
There are groups of people who call themselves the "Patriot Movement". It is their belief that the country is going socialist, it is, and that they will take it back by force, not gonna happen. In the end, the real issue is how we are going to treat one another.
I can't find anywhere in the Bible where Jesus said if we believed in him, life would be like a club med vacation. I don't think he said it. He did however say that Christians should obey their leaders and be good slaves. He said that. He also said that the world would turn ugly. If one believes as a Christian, then one has no excuse for violence.
The first Christians often were martyred by the Romans. They did not fight them. I do not have answers for non-Christians about what type of citizens they should be, I do for Christians. My answer is pretty consistent. Regardles of what times you think we are in, it is always the same time for us. It is time to love one another and be gentle with one another.
Having said that, it is also always time to be heard. It is always time to have a reason for why we believe. It is always time to do our part to make things better. Be well. And thanks.

I like that they questioned for “Public Defenders” (and they thought they could bring down our government), undercover FBI agent, sweet. Since their inception the Teaparty crowd (not a movement since they do have the numbers or clout) because they are haters not debaters or as others have dubbed them screamers not dreamers. The simpleton Tea baggers are the same whiners that were crying when the McCain/Bailin ticket lost. Now that their yelling and screaming disastrous to stop the shape care debate and the bill from passing they are crying again. Lets face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with shape care, immigration, climate change and fiscal oversight and governance and they disastrous. The Republicans are excellent at starting wars (two in eight years, with stout contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the long-lasting line of body bags that keep coming home. Instead of participating in the shape care debate of thoughts the Republicans party turned inward to your ancient fashion obstructionist party. In my opinion the Republican Waterloo loss was caused by the party allowing a small parts (but very loud) of the republican party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” to take over their party. I will admit that this fringe is very excellent at playing “Follow the Leader” by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill plotted robots (they have already acted against doctors that perform abortions). The Teaparty crowd reckon they can scare, intimidate and break down others to go along with them by observations like “This time we came unarmed”, let me tell you a touch not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and know that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. The world is complicated and presidents like Hamiliton, Lincoln, and Roosevelt judge that we should use government a small to increase social mobility, now its about dancing around the aver of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the largest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. Although some Republicans are trying to distant themselves from this fringe most of them, having no game plot/ vision for our country, are just going along and fanning the flames. For a party that gave us Abraham Lincoln, it is tragic that the ranks are filled with too many unfilled suits. But they now aver they have changed, come on, what sucker is going to judge that? All I can say to you is dredge up Waterloo.
Montana,
I do not know who you are; however, I will allow you comment. I allow the comment because I allow people to comment. I only prohibit things that would be innapropriate for children.
I do however choose to respond. I do not believe the world can be segretated into Republicans or Democrats. I believe they are all liars and corrupt.
For me, it is not about who is wrong. It is about what is needed to make things better. Blame will not solve our problems, the question is what will.
To be clear. While this blog does touch upon political things, it is not political. My issue is not with politics or government, it is with us, individually. It is about what is in our hearts.
The issues and items I address are merely examples used to bring out more simple questions. Questions of who and what we choose to be. How we choose to relate to one another.
In my opinion (which is why I have a blog - to express it), we need to be WE again. It is about coming together, not coming apart. The prior iterations of this blog dealt with politics and philosophy, I am now addressing heart, faith and love.
It is more important to make things better than be proven right. I seek improvement. I hope you have come here because you do too. In either case, I hope you enjoy what you read. Be well.
