America is Lost
America was built and became great by exercising God’s principles, but now the US has thrown away those principles. All things contrary to God’s ways are promoted by the politicians and the courts. The whole community used to come together to help their fellow citizens, like in gathering together for home and barn building events or to bring in the crops of anyone in need. They used to act like family as the whole community raised all the children and were not afraid to rebuke them when they were wrong. But today it is all about catering only to the selfish me because I have the right to seek all my pleasures above the rights or concerns of everyone else.

The citizens who demand the country’s legal rights are destroying the country that has given them those rights and freedoms. People from other countries come to America and then demand the country change its laws to cater to their ways because they are a minority who should have special protections and considerations that should trump the rights of all the rest of the people that make up the country. Lies and deceit are used to promote black pride as not being racism, even though white pride is recognized as the racism it is, which further divides brother against brother. Loud minorities demand we should throw away the values of the majority to cater to them including changing the meaning of family and marriage because they say we should not discriminate against them, yet their demand is that the majority be discriminated against in their family and religious values to cater to them. Instead of concentrating on our commonalities we seek only to promote our differences. Instead of a melting pot to common unity, every difference among the people is promoted. Discrimination to separate us out from each other is encouraged instead of concentrating on our commonalities to strengthen and protect our communities. We are not promoting one people indivisible under God.

America is lost. The US is actively engaged in its own destruction. Abiding by God’s principles allowed the US to become a great country and gave the people the freedoms they now have. Throwing away those principles to cater to individual selfish greed is causing the country to fail. Man made legalese deceit and pretense is the force shaping America today. Look around you at all the threats to the US and the world. Bowing down to the democracy and capitalist gods is destroying families, communities, countries and the planet as a whole. I have my democratic and capitalistic rights to seek all my pleasures and profits regardless of whether it causes large numbers of people to suffer or even to eventually die is the religion they follow. This is their freedom guaranteed by our democracy they say. Individual freedom without responsibility is the path America promotes today.

We are not acting like a people unified under a common purpose to promote a better life for us all but are instead acting like greedy selfish individuals. God warned us that if we leave his path to follow our carnal desires then we will fail, but God has no place in America today so we will continue to blindly do as we please right up until the end.

Judge Properly
Don’t you dare judge me
You don’t have the right
God said to not judge people
So you shouldn’t be judging me

I can do anything I please
No matter what you think
And you can’t say anything
Or you are wrongly judging me

Satan loves this foolish babble
Like anytime we won’t think
He loves to twist God’s words
To his benefit against man and God

But the bible demands we judge
To distinguish between right and wrong
All people’s words and actions
We are commanded to properly judge

How can we speak against evil
If we are to not judge anything
Can we choose to promote God’s ways
If we refuse to judge differences

God is the only judge of souls
And this He will properly do
But we are commanded to judge too
But only people’s actions and words

The Mortgage Crisis
No one should be stunned that the mortgage crisis is continuing. The banks have been selling sub prime mortgages for years, not just the past few months that they have been switching to their higher rates that are causing the failures, so those mortgages will continue to kick into their higher interest rates for years to come to continue the defaults. Add in the fact that those defaults affect the values of properties around them which will continue to push other people into just walking away from their homes. Add in that so many good paying jobs are being exported to countries like China and India so a lot of us locals can no longer afford to make our mortgage payments with our lesser paying jobs when in all likelihood our home is not worth the mortgage we hold on it anyway. Add that all these job losses causes a reduction of local spending which results in even more local people being laid off which increases the competition for the fewer available jobs and you get a continuing cascading effect from all these forces. Now add in the job losses associated by the high cost of gas and oil that affects the costs of all products to this mess and you have another factor that will ensure this will continue for a long time. Let’s include the foolish use of food crops to be converted to fuel to burn which will add additional costs to everyone’s food that is already going up because of higher fuel costs anyway, and that also adds to the worldwide loss of available food to feed us people of the world. These are but a few of the many factors that will continue to drag down the US economy and threaten the future of the country.

Politicians can only see as far as the next election and for the most part haven’t any training in any field that would help them to understand anything other then how to babble deceit to get reelected to continue feeding off the public trough while pretending they are superior to the people who are the country. They have been kissing the backside of special interest groups for years to get their funding to run their next election campaign, and many of them are always engaged only in electioneering during their full time in office. Consider the large number of lawyers who are politicians and how their trade is exactly the same which is the babble of deceit to confuse the issue to win regardless of the costs to others or to the country as a whole. It is always only about them.

So long as we worship unbridled democracy and capitalism instead of God we can only expect more of the same. When you see something is not working right and continue to ignore it instead of fixing it then only blind fools will expect things will somehow change for the better. If our vehicle brakes don’t work right do we ignore it and expect things will get better? God gave us an excellent brain and it only makes sense to use it. We should not continue to encourage the lowest worldwide found rules to regulate business because it is proven that a lack of concern for life and our environment is the result. The wealthy and companies should not be allowed to continue the casual destruction of our world and people’s lives just because they are called businessmen and capitalists. Catering to selfish greed has proven to be a failure so it is time for frameworks to be designed for people and companies to work within, something that maybe we’ll choose to call governing.

Iraq used for Scott's Benefit
Scott is just another person trying to use the suffering from the Iraq fiasco for his own financial gain. His whines are pathetic as he proves he’ll babble anything at all so long as he benefits at the time of his yap. First he strongly promotes one side then he promotes the exact opposite when changing will benefit him which proves that his only real concern is for Scott McClellan not the truth.

I still stand by my belief that the invasion was justified. I was all for going into Iraq and removing sadistic Saddam from power regardless of whether he currently had plenty of weapons of mass destruction based solely on his abuse of the people and because the sanctions, that were causing major suffering for the average person in Iraq and not affecting the elite at all, could not be lifted while he was in power. But I also tried to get our leaders to prepare for after they had removed him.

Prior to the launch of the attack I posted my beliefs online on CBC bulletin boards, and e-mailed former Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clarke also because he was communicating with US leaders at the time, that the invasion would and should happen and of my concerns for the lack of preparations being made. I thought it didn’t make sense to not have ships full of supplies and people ready to land as soon as possible to assist the Iraqis to start rebuilding their country after Saddam was removed from power. I pointed out that letting them just sit around stewing in their misery would be dangerously foolish, and that I believed that the Iraqis had the right to choose their own leaders not the US or UN who were fighting over which one of them would do it at the time. The US and UN should only have assisted so as to reduce the chance of another sadistic person or group from gaining power over the Iraqi people. I couldn’t understand how anyone could not realize how important it was to help the people, and look at what that lack of concern has cost. But too often our politicians prove they don’t realize how important it is to care about the average person when making their decisions, so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised at their ignorance of what was to happen there or of what is building to happen to us here in North America.

Promoting Racism
Why is it that when blacks vote over 90% based on race it is called pride but if the whites did the same thing it is called racism?

Catering to people who are constantly promoting the race difference between us is racism. Imposing quotas based on race is racism. We denigrate all blacks by implying that they are less then white people when we enforce quotas to hire them based on their race instead of their intelligence, experiences, or ability. Why should white racism be promoted under the pretence of correcting for the black racism of the past? Racism cannot be stopped if all we are doing is changing the group that we are currently promoting racism against because all this does is fan the flames to further encourage race based hatred. And why should we punish a white person for something he/she was not involved in years ago and pretend we are making up for a previous injustice? Abusing an innocent person or group today does not make up for the abuse of a different innocent person or group years ago. Going after people and companies that promote racism hatred is slow but the only real way to fight racism.

Can you imagine what would happen if a group tried starting a White Entertainment Television or otherwise promoted any white race based group? It is time the Media and politicians quit catering to the blacks who promote race differences but they are too afraid of the power those people have to organize large groups of racists to protest against them, and because they have convinced themselves that helping promote black racism, that they call black race pride just like white racists call their ways white race pride, somehow helps the poor pitiful blacks. If they really want to help the poor mostly black neighbourhoods then they should be race blind in their group names and simply help the whole neighbourhood of people instead of encouraging continued anger among the races by those who are seeking to blame and strike out at someone for their suffering.

Using the past as an excuse to continue racism in a new form doesn’t help any of us. There is no excuse to promote a group separate from the rest of us based on colour. We should be promoting how we are all alike, which is our desire to be able to enjoy a decent life and raise a happy family, not looking to separate us from each other based on such pitiful differences like skin colour.

If I have offended any racists, of any colour, tough!
