Who Doesn't Vote What They Believe?

I am deeply concerned with the issue of voting your faith. Some would tell I us the church has no place in issues of the state. That is utter foolishness. If you don't vote what you believe, what do you vote?

Here is a little piece from a position of faith.... http://jamwithjesus.blogspot.com/2014/05/voting-for-justice.html. Enjoy.

Wendy Davis vs Justin Bieber on Flush 'em Friday the 1 24 14 Edition

Welcome to Flush 'em Friday! It's time to nominate those and that which needs to be Flushed! 
This week we have:
Wendy Davis vs Justin Bieber




Wendy Davis to whom "suffering" seems to mean putting up with a sugar daddy while he takes care of your kids and pays off your student loans and then divorcing him the day after the final payment was made.



Justin Bieber, the boy he probably thinks he's a man but really needs a good old fashion woodshed experience. Too bad he apparently doesn't have anyone around man enough to tell him he's being an idiot.







Who do you think deserves to be flushed the most?

What’s Important to Me and to You

I was thinking about the blog. What do I really enjoy talking about? Somebody said that you should never talk about politics or religion because it would just lead to an argument. My response, “What’s left to talk about?” I mean what influences your life and what is your reaction to life?

To me politics influence all our lives because the policies and laws we live under set boundaries, to some degree, on the quality of life we can live. If I make $50k per year and my taxes are at 30% that means I have $35k to live on. Now when one political party (I won’t say their name but their initials are the Democrats) uses terms like, “the redistribution of wealth,” when referring to usage of my tax dollars I wonder why I need to have my “wealth” redistributed. So, how much I pay for taxes is an important issue to me.

Lately, my freedom of speech has become an even greater concern because of certain “fairness” laws having to do with “equal” air time for liberals and conservatives. In the free-market place of radio and TV I am not sure I see much equality. I think AM radio has become a great outlet for conservative thought and opinion, much to the chagrin of liberals. I think it just chaps liberals hides that the American public would much rather listen to conservative ideals than liberal dogma.

Now, for religion; I just love talking about religion but just haven’t been able to work it into my blog enough. To me a persons faith, whether in the existence of a god or not, determines the values that one has. For example, I believe that we were all (even people who annoy me) created in the image of God, the God of Judeo-Christian belief. I believe that the mannishness of man (see Francis Schaeffer) which is our capacity for both good and evil is best explained by the Bible. Now, you may think I am a kook and an ignorant uneducated zealot for believing that, but I have yet to hear a decent explanation for mankind’s personality. I know a few claim that evolution has produced these traits in us to help us survive, but that takes a bit more faith, without reason, than I can muster up.

That is what is important to me, what is important to you?

Immigration Problem Solved

Last Saturday “thousands” of people rallied in support of swift immigration reform. According to the Associated Press, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill. Introduced immigration reform legislation that includes the path to legal status for millions of illegal immigrants.

First, isn’t there already a path for legal immigration? So, should not the path for ALL be legal immigration? The first step is to cease being illegal immigrants and then talk to us about becoming a legal immigrant.

You see, Luis, most of us Americans are children or decedents of legal immigrants. We did it legally, why can’t they? That is why so many Americans have a hard time swallowing this pathway for illegal immigrants crap.

Second, I believe in a speech the then President of Mexico Vicente Fox described it as migration while US President Bush called it immigration. So, we must realize someone said people migrated back and forth from baja to California for “hundreds” of years and many people buy that as a reason for granting whoever wants to walk across the border a free pass. Am I supposed think people from Mexico or Central America are so stupid and illiterate that they don’t know it’s the twenty-first century!? That they don’t know what that big metal or cement thing is?

Reform? Just be legal. Problem solved!

Thus saith me.
