“BOW YOUR HEADS!” TURN ON YOUR SPEAKERS! THANKS!

2008-07-06T01:48:54-06:00

There’s poetry in the church.
“Leaning on Jesus,
Leaning on Jesus.
Leaning on the everlasting arms.”

The fat lady sings, “Life is a few days of trouble,
The wise man once said....
The only real peace that I have,
Dear Lord, is in you.”

Her voice is beautiful: a gift from God.
The evangelist closes his eyes, looks to Heaven.
He looks real, not phony;
At least he looks that way.

“Luke Chapter 3, verse 15.
The love of my life,” he says.
He tells of Mickey Rooney, who said,
“I have found the love of my life in Jesus Christ.”

I’ve just gotta do it!
I’ve just gotta do it!
For me, for Justice!
Justice is not law; law follows Justice.

I’ve gotta do better, Lord!
The church is filled with old people, very old;
And one young boy with his tennis shoes
On the back of of the pew.

The flags are there:
Old Glory and the Christian Flag.
There’s a good-lookin’ red-head
Flanked on each side by a child.

The preacher’s mad at T.G.I.F.
And Poppin’ the Top.
“Just lookin; for the fire of God!” he says.
“Latch-key kids!”

“Don’t get too close to the fire!” he says.
“But some get too close.
Immorality, incest and perversion!
And changin’ their bodies!” the preacher says.

“Rummagin’ through the fire,
Standin’ before the ashes;
And goin’ to the morgue
To view the body.”

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me!”
The man told the President.
Who was that man?
“Beauty for ashes; drunkenness, drug-addicts and whores.”

Makin’ a brand-new life.
“Lord, prepare me a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true....
Now all please bow your heads!”

-h.p.

[Nobody ever said this was good poetry.
Poetry means different things to different
people. Some would throw the 23rd Psalm
in the trash as being bad poetry. “And
can it be...?”

Maybe what we’ve done is good.

I am torn between whether we have done a good thing or not. So many have died. I hope this is a sign of good.

reported a net loss of 62,000 jobs in the month

Now we blame Obama for saying Americans cling to their guns and religion because those words may doom us all. So go ahead and tell me how Obama`s words
matter and yet the President is not responsible for the economy.

President Bush the leader of this country has drove us to a recession but because he is a republican his actions do not matter as much as little rumors over
what Obama said and meant.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com)—Employers trimmed jobs from their payrolls in June for the sixth straight month, as the government’s closely watched report Thursday showed continued weakness in the labor market.

The Labor Department reported a net loss of 62,000 jobs in the month. That matched the job loss figure for May, which was revised higher from 49,000. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast a loss of 60,000 jobs.

The June number brought to 438,000 the number of jobs lost by the U.S. economy so far this year.

The unemployment rate stayed at 5.5%. Economists had forecast the rate would come in at 5.4% in the latest reading.

In a separate report, the department said initial claims for unemployment insurance rose 16,000 to 404,000 in the latest week. Economist Robert Brusca of FAO Economics said the reading over 400,000 is a “classic recession signal.”

RIP Jesse Helms

2008-07-04T15:58:48-06:00

Helms was one of the most outspoken, controversial figures of his time. He was a hero of social and fiscal conservatives and many of his stands were considered bigoted and racists.

Even though he was fiscally conservative he protected tobacco subsidies and was a hero of the industry.

Aside from his controversial stands socially his most important work might be considered his fervent anti communist stands and as chairman of the foreign relations committee he used his influence to fight communist all over the world.

Here is the wiki article on him.

Reflections on the 4th

2008-07-04T11:34:11-06:00

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

It is remarkable that the greatest civilization of the last two centuries started with these words.

It is not the democracy that made our nation great. Is is the individual freedom. The most unbridled expression of capitialism in a civilized country is what made our country great.

Will we stiffle this freedom to pacify the voters? Tocqueville warned of the “tyranny of the majority”. Jefferson said

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
Thomas Jefferson

How will we declare our independence when the power of the democratic majority inflict “a long train of abuses and usurpations” upon the individual?? As the number of people on the public dole reaches 50% and entire departments of government are established to dispense collected taxes and the proceeds of government debt to all forms of welfare recipients will we burden the producers of our great wealth to the point of collapse?

To me it is immoral to tax the producers for the benefit of the political powerful. This happens every day across our country and we see it here in Louisiana. We expand charity hospitals, create huge corporate welfare funds in the name of economic development, throw millions at failing public schools, and on and on. This is only compounded across the nation as we fund foreign wars, socialized medicine, farm welfare, and huge public assistance programs.

We have an obligation to keep government small--to promote individual freedom--to stay out of the way of those who seek to better themselves by industrious labor and ingenious knowledge. Historically it is how we grew to be what we are. We should never, ever forget that and like the signers of the Declaration of Independence we must stand up to these subtle, sometimes short sighted, moves toward tyranny.

We must fight the “tyranny of the majority.”

Happy Independence Day!!!

2008-07-04T08:03:53-06:00

Happy Independence Day to all. I hope that everyone can enjoy this day and take a moment to think about how lucky we are to live in such a great country.

Also a big thank you to all those in uniform who are protecting our freedom.

God Bless America!

and maybe take the time to read what got this all started.

May we NEVER be so unfortunate to allow this to get back at the helm of government? What a demonstration of poor judgement! The daughter of an exPresident who was about 3 to 5 years old when her father “served”. What has she EVER done to make anyone think she should be telling us what would be good and what would be bad? She has no idea as far as I know.

Obama Pro Quo - A Man of the People…

2008-07-03T13:22:31-06:00

Obama, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee from Illinois and self-styled man of the people, lives in a mansion described by the Washington Post as featuring “six bedrooms, four fireplaces, a four-car garage and 5 1/2 baths, including a double steam shower and a marble powder room . . . a wine cellar, a music room, a library, a solarium, beveled glass doors and a granite-floored kitchen.”

Eyebrows are already raised by the Obamas’ purchase of the palatial abode in 2005 for $300,000 under its asking price of $1.95 million. The day that purchase closed, the since-convicted Chicago fraudster and early Obama fundraiser Tony Rezko bought an adjoining lot from the same seller for the full asking price of $625,000, which Obama admitted to the Chicago Sun-Times he then bought from Rezko for “above the appraised value” — “a mistake,” he said, giving the impression “that he had done me a favor.”

If Obama is animated by high ideals for the future, why are we finding so many lowdown deals in his past?
