Now the government is encouraging wayward tax filers to "Return and get back into the System" encouraging many who are actually owed money by the Government to file. Ironically, there is no Penalty for refusal to file if the Government owes you money. Many of the poor are owed an average of six hundred dollars. A check that size would be a nice chunk of change for them. These people work for low wages and often earn so little they don't owe any actual taxes and suspecting this all along, they don't bother to file. Yet their employers have been withholding money from their pay checks all along, and it adds up. How many of us are "withheld what is ours" by some would be "Higher Power" that we would like to settle accounts with? Many people end up giving more than they get and suffering "while such grievences are sufferable" to quote the Declaration of Independance. But the legatimacy of any government is determined by how it values the good in society and also how it values the crooks. And whenever the crooks are valued more than the good people of society that government is an affront to the Spirit of Liberty itself, and ought to be altered or abolished. I'm not advocating anything in particular. I'm just saying there are a lot of "little people" out there who routinely are passed over by the Court System in their quest to achieve Justice for themselves and their fellow man.
When Marie Antwenette went to the Guillitine in 1793 she did so with a clear conscience having total faith in her innocence and in God. She declaired she was at Peace with herself, and such is the case with a person of clear conscience. Apparently she wasn't looking for a last minute represe. She wasn't looking for someone to hand her a sponge soaked with an opiate to lessen her fear or impending death. She didn't claim that God had cheated or forsaken her. Many communists too face Death bravely. Vlatamir Lennon said "We are all dead men on furlough". Oddly enough this is almost a Pauline phrase. People who believe that they owe their lives to God are happy to serve in this world as long as they are of use to the Purpose of Good. And when that purpose has come to completion, when it's time for them to go, they do knowing they have run life's race well, and satisfaction that they did their very best and gave it their All (Selah)
Now they are talking about two different classes of Nations around the world. One rich group are called B R I C S. These consist Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. There is another group of poorer nations that have come to be known as P I G S, or Portugal, Iceland, Greece, and Spain. In this latter group is Greece and when the banks wanted to "take over the country" Judy thought that the banks were entitled to do just about anything they wanted so, since after all the Banks can do no wrong in the eyes of a tea bagger Christian. Of course this would mean that some foreign Euro bank would own the Greek government and all of its cultural and historic sites to do with as they so desire. Judy refers to the former leader of Greece as being incompetent for wanting to hold a popular election and let the people of the country decide whether or not they wanted to go along with the draconian measures the Euro banks wanted to institute. So in the grander scheme of things all the governments and all of the people of these four nations, Portugal, Iceland, Greece, and Spain are in the agragate PIGS. They "don't know how to run their own countries" and therefore have to be taught better by the Euro banks. The notion of the slightest bit of unfairness or corruption never enters a tea bagging Christian's mind. On the other hand you have the B R I C S who are "smart" because of course they consume a lot of petro energy and increase the carbon footprint of the world. They can't be blamed for driving the price of gasoline world wide up into the stratusphere. The speculators are not to blame for this. Only President Obama is to blame for this because they spread the persistent lie that "President Obama has closed down all the oil wells and is Refusing to drill" and hence in their minds this is why the US gasoline prices are so high. These tea baggers day that we have over a hundred years of energy reserves if we will just utelize it. They deny the cold, hard facts that the US posesses less than four percent of the world's oil reserves, or that World Peak Oil occurred in the year 2006 and hence oil prices world wide are rising by necessity. They now are trying to claim that Jimmy Carter really didn't want to reduce foreign dependance oi foreign oil but this was just a "line" to create a whole new beaurocracy called the Department of Energy. They routinely deny that there either can be or is now any hope for developing any alternatives to petroleum burning but instead insist that refusal to double down on petrolium use is what is wrong with the US economy. We needn't question WHY they hold such fantastic beliefs, the point is that they do.
Newt Gingrich claims he's so much for the Jew that he needs to give them Advice on how to deal with the Palestinian problem. Gingrich claims that any desire of Israel to see a Palistinian State is misguided because after all "the Palistinian people are a made-up people to begin with". Just for a little eye opener we are going now to play a game of "Who said that?" You tell me who made the following statements about the Jews. It was not the KKK nor Pat Buchannon nor the American Nazi Party nor the skin heads. It was good, Bible thumping Christians, mostly Martin Luther, who uttered these remarks, thoughts, and reflections. People on the right love historical quotes. If so they should be glued with wonder as they ponder these shockers. This site is not new, but I think that it's time that people be reminded of these sad realities in our land.
Down with Crosses - Up with Jews
Them's the Only Proper Views
-Me and Julian the Apostate
the Jews?
Since they live among us, we dare not tolerate their conduct, now that
we are aware of their lying and reviling and blaspheming. If we do, we
become sharers in their lies, cursing and blasphemy. Thus we cannot
extinguish the unquenchable fire of divine wrath, of which the
prophets speak, nor can we convert the Jews. With prayer and the fear
of God we must practice a sharp mercy to see whether we might save at
least a few from the glowing flames."
-- Martin Luther, On the Jews and Their Lies (1543)
"First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and
cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again
see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord
and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians, and
do not condone or knowingly tolerate such public lying, cursing, and
blaspheming of his Son and of his Christians."
-- Martin Luther, On the Jews and Their Lies (1543)
"Communism was the brainchild of German-Jewish intellectuals."
-- Pat Robertson, The New World Order, (1991), p.17
"The courts are merely a ruse, if you will, for humanist, atheistic
educators to beat up on Christians."
-- Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, October 2, 1990
It was Christians who were responsible for slavery.
It was Christians who were responsible for the Inquisition.
It was Christians who were responsible for the Crusades.
It was Christians who were responsible for the extermination of
millions of American Indians.
It was Christians who were responsibe for the Holocaust.
The enemy to freedom in the world is religious fanaticism.
Intolerance of intolerance is not intolerance.
Hating hate is not hatred. Open your hearts and minds stop listening to Rush Limbaugh
