The Bible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ananias_and_Sapphira

Hearing about Governor Palin and her hand-me downs from Cindy McCain for her run to the White House, and hearing about John McCain who after deciding that McCain's first wife Carol (what you talkin' 'bout you didn't know about Miss Carol???)--was too dIsFiGuReD and dumped her for a woman who may have paid attention to the sign he was holding up at the corner of Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills Blvd that said "Will-Marry-Pretty-Young-Girl-For-Money-&-Position,"  and all the accusations about folks like Senators Obama and Biden who are not afraid to look at this nation over the last fours years and say as they look at the declining employment rates and foreclosures saying, “YEAH IT’S BROKE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED”…..I guess that this is something that has puzzled me since all of this name calling started in the wake of the Nov. 4, 2008 United States elections.

Again, people need to watch this video about wealth and how it really goes down. Wall Street ain’t NOTHIN’ but a pimp! (Click “The Appearance of Evil.)

First of all, should the people doing the name calling go back to their “Evangelical Born-Again-Christian” ethics and do what Jesus Christ taught in the New Testament “Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You?”  There’s this little episode in the Book of Acts Chapter 7 where there were some widow women who were being ignored by the church of that day, and when the apostles sent some 7 people there to check out the situation, one cat named Stephen got mobbed and called names that were not true ,  and stoned to his death when he told the muckety-mucks of the religious elite that they needed to share with the po’folk. And the one who converted over was the one who consented to his assassination by stoning. Saul, known to most good Christian people as “Paul” (see this Youtube—cover you kiddos eyes this is biblical.) I sure hope none of the Christian evangelical voters act like this…but wait, we’ve seen rallies where people are “REALLY REALLY ANGRY!”

 WE DEDICATE THIS MOVIE TO THE MENTALLY-CHALLENGED

I got this to ask those angry people “What good is it to have lower taxes if you don’t Joe Plumber doesn’t have a job opening for you because he got a tax increase and you didn’t because you don’t make a quarter of a million bucks a year, tax-deductible? Ain’t that an honest question?

Even if Joe Plumber stays in business and gets his tax cut, he couldn’t afford to pay anybody anyway because he couldn’t give them any benefits!!!

Plus, if Joe Plumber’s customers cannot  afford to pay him---which is the EXACT same situation of a friend of mine in Anderson Indiana where they had to pay court costs and take 60 people to court over collections issues in business involving another aspect of the water business--.and they have a job delivering papers at night just to make ends meet—why are people angry and are they angry at the wrong person?

Then, there’s this latest case of that Alaskan thug senator. I got cousins and have friends who have other cousins sitting in prison. Ninety-six percent of the people in prison are black people for the most part. They can’t vote. Why should this white dude from Alaska be allowed to vote?

And the ONLY reason I think Governor Palin is saying Ted Stevens should step down? It’s because that woman is a MAVERICK and she’s got her eye on the position. She knows as Governor, she can appoint herself. McCain ain’t nothin’ but an Alaskan Gravy Train for Governor Sarah Palin. Plus that crook Stevens does not deserve one thing dime and the only way Sarah Palin would get my vote is if she said that he had to give us that pension for life.

You think she’ll do it? Hey, she’s MAVERICK get real.

To me, isn’t that treating people equally? Isn’t that the premise of our Declaration of Independence that ALL MEN (even though they ignore the women initially) ARE CREATED EQUAL?

Funny thing about me and my nosy self. I looked up “Socialism” on Wikipedia, the “FREE encyclopedia. Here’s what it said about socialism.

1. It’s an IDEA! It is not a FIX PROGRAM. There are many aspects to it from the extreme to the balanced and equal. What’s really interesting is while listening to one camp call the other “socialistic” that the name-calling camp in and of itself is actually advocating a thing called “DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM if I understand this phrase correctly. Correct if I’m wrong, but Jesus Christ himself told those who had more to share with those who had less. Case in point bible verse:

2. It was created because too many rich people were making their money on the backs of the working people during the industrial age, and the people making the money pretty much didn’t pay the folks who made them rich what they were worth. So the rich people prospered, and the poor people suffered.

3. If you have to put a label on it, I ‘spose I’m one who follows a Libertarian/Independent philosophy  I was moved by the fact that there’s even a category for Libertarian Socialists. This term talks about REJECTING STATE CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP. (Isn’t that capitalism? Let Joe the Plumber make his own way?)

Basically, the premise of pure capitalism is “I got mine, you get your, and if you don’t stop whining because you were not as good as me to get it.”

So, it people are going to name call they need to go back and dust off their unwrapped GED books in those swing states who are so afraid of having their taxes raised to take care of the community like the Apostles told people in Acts Chapter 8 (a two dropped dead because they lied about it (Anaias and Sapphira)  and read this about what CAPITALISM does:

In theory, production and distribution in a capitalist system are governed by the free market rather than state regulation, with state action confined to defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market though the state may provide a few basic public goods and infrastructure.

What did free market do in this nation? Did it downsize you? Where is the CEO who downsized you? What happened to the people who got the $700 Billion Dollar Bail-out?  Are those CEOs still in their homes? Did they get a golden parachute while those who got hosed were tossed a rag so they could get a 2^nd and 3^rd job at the car wash who can’t even afford fuel and a car payment much less maintenance?

Just somethin’ to think about y’all. Vote and don’t let nobody stop you. Stop listening to all this fear mongering.

If I were president I’d probably talk all of Cindy McCain’s money and spread her wealth around including having her take all the single mothers shopping with their kids at Saks Fifth Avenue. The bottom line: If you elect a public official, realize that him nor her nor them are the ones in charge. It may seem that way because Americans want to have a babysitter, not a representative.

If we have issues with our taxes, it starts LOCALLY not nationally. If your town is going belly up because people don’t have the wherewithal to take care of their own town, don’t expect the government on the Federal Level to get any better.

People who don’t pick up a book and read about their constitutional rights, people who allow themselves to be left out of the political process because they fear what others think about what they have to say, and people who cringe at the idea of sharing what they have in their community with others so that the entire community can be better….if folks have a problem with that, then let’s go ahead and call groups like The  United Way is a socialist organization because it SHARES THE WEALTH!

 P.S. Just had to give a run-on shout out to all the single parents like my daughter who works 30 hours a week because her job cut her hours down and even though she's a supervisor she can't afford to buy a math book for her college course when she decided to better herself ty going to school and how a lot of her classmaktes are single parents too and doing the best they can to stay out of jail from not being able to afford child support because there's no work available since everything's been downsized and our holiday gifts were all made in Chinas not to mention the fact that people of both sexes are tyring to be a responsible parents but don't have proper insurance to take care of their kids or even put a package of hot dogs in a pot to boil water because they got their utilities shut off and the phone's cut off so they can't communicate to those who might even be able to help them like my friends Karla and karen here in the authorsden.....you think I sound angry?

If you are any kind of Christian, when you feel angry, just hush up and pray. God ain't runnin' for president. He's free to speak to you directly if need be and take care of ALL of your needs--so I've heard.

(Remember y'all...people are people first. What they choose to believe is their business. Stop crucifying people for their beliefs IF they believes are founded on documented truth and they appall namecalling.)

Other than that, have at it! Talk is cheap. Character and Integrity get my vote for this election.
