There are many things in our society that get passed to us so many times that we tend to believe it. Everything from tv commercials, to news stories amongst other things. It's no wonder that so many people are so confused about a great many things. The one that really sticks in my craw, is the liberal groups and atheist screaming like teething babies, separation of church and state! Most Christians and people with common sense know that isn't actually in the Constitution. BUT they have used it so much when their feathers get ruffled over Christian overtones are used in connection with a city, state, or federal function. A perfect example is two summers ago, due to budget cuts the city was cutting Recreation centers. A church here in town stood up and said we will sponsor one. Now these are important because it gives kids and people that don't have a lot of money a place to go for fun. Well that didn't sit well with the liberals and they cried "separation of church and state". And today, because Obama and his socialist viewpoints, we have groups of people that really believe in their protest of Wall St, even though they have NO idea why they are doing it. This statement was taken directly from their website:
"Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants."
Uh? Sounds a bit like the leadership in DC. Maybe if I repeat that enough. The people doing these protest seem to be against capitalism, but man they sure do have more mobile devices than an Apple store. So because Obama has convinced and said it so much, many people believe that if someone has more than me, then I'm entitled to theirs also. Sounds like Obama has a degree in BS. Now this is not new. Remember Salem, 1692. People were convinced by a small group of leaders that several in their community were witches just by stating the fact so many times people actually believed it. Now I'm not a expert in that, just my opinion. We are constantly bombarded by liberal activists, that it really is hard for people to know what is accurate. Al Gore has people believing in global warming, gay activists say over and over "why can't we marry, we are just like everybody else. They screamed it for so long now they have it, for the most part. For a year now the liberals have said so many times that Tea Party are racist. So liberal politicians now compare them to terrorist and it's ok now. But the liberals cry foul when conservatives compare them to socialist. When I say cry foul by that I mean they yell, scream, and throw fits. I guess the reason I chose this topic because recently I have noticed and things that have been pointed out to me that even Christians are now being fooled to some extent, by repetition. Our culture has become corrupted by falsehoods mixed with a small amount of what might seem like truth. Example, Pat Robertson is convinced that Romney is a good Christian. Christians flock to Glen Beck conferences, sucked in by his quoting of scripture. Well he must be a good Christian. Ann Coulter, extreme conservative, who I really like, but recently found out that she supports same sex marriage. I'm not sure if she is Christian, but that goes against what I believe. So I had to change my tune with her. There are others, Joel Osteen, a fluffy preacher, Dr. Phil, not really a dr, people love Oprah because she says she is a person of faith, what faith I ask? With all of this I am reminded of this famous movie quote:
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point!
Im not immune to this I have fell for repetitive speeches in my lifetime. I actually thought eating at McDonalds was ok, until Michelle Obama convinced me of the error of my ways...LOL
So the next time you hear "pass this bill" think first.

Phil, Cain said something very wise yesterday... something like, "It's not the job of the government to provide prosperity for every person but to ensure that every person has the opportunity to prosper."
Though God has abundantly provided for us in so many gracious and loving ways over the years, we are not wealthy... but I'm not mad at people who are... some of them inherited it and others worked hard for it... I don't consider myself entitled to their money because I don't have it.
Lastly, I sheepishly admit that I was never ashamed of America until we voted in Obama in 2008... I really thought to myself, "could people be this naive and blind as to believer this stuff?" They were, and they did.... all I can say is that I hope we (as a country) learned a lesson and won't make the same mistake in 2021.
Postcards-I think Cain is a very wise man and has some great ideas for our country. I am a firm believer in you work hard, you will be prosperous, not meaning rich but the ability to take care of yourself and your family. Sorry u voted for Obama and glad you see the truth now.
I did not vote for Obama!!!! :-) I stepped out of line while the rest of your liberal friends were walking in line like that scene from The Wall where all the kids are lined up with expressionless, zombie-like faces... that's what the voting booths looked like in 2008....
Oh I misread...lol. I hope all those liberals that voted for him are happy
