Of Liars and Elitists

I am watching the country I love tear itself in two, and I am saddened beyond measure. The battle lines are drawn between the haves and the have nots. Nothing new, as this is the basis for most wars. But rather than stroll down history's hallways, lets take a good look at the here and now. Elitism has been around forever, it separates the ruling class from the ruled. The Democrats may be in power now, but this isn't only about the abuses of the Obama administration. The outright snobbery of elitist thinking lives on both sides of the isle. Both sides look to take care of their own first, and if the people can gain from it now and then, all the better. It is this elitist attitude that is behind this dream of a one world government, through globalism,. One government to oversee all the different peoples of the world being led by the United Nations.  Obama has already applied for the head job, so you know what his plan is. But for now, here in America, the government is still centered in Washington. The country got an eye opening example of the elitists on both sides not wanting the status quo to be trifled with. On the Democratic side, all those enthusiastic Bernie supporters learned that the fix was in, it was Hillary's turn, and that was decided in 08, right after Barack had secured the nomination. On the Republican side, we saw the same attitude then, that is still going on now in earnest. The establishment Republicans no more want Donald Trump than did the Democrats want Bernie. It isn't just the left, who, being so thin skinned about a little sarcasm, that is hurting Trump, but the elitists on the Republican side. Neither side can claim victory in this one, as their greed, and the fear of losing power, became clear to see for all Americans. Though both sides will tell you that the Constitution of the United States of America is a great document, neither of them seems to understand that the document was written to give the power to the people, The document begins with the words, We the People, not, we the ruling class, or, we the politicians. The power belongs to the people, because it is our people who makes this the greatest nation in the world. The people have spoken, and neither was taken serious. Why? Because what makes people elitists is more than just money and social standing, but their core belief that the people are just too stupid to rule themselves. Us poor working slobs, us everyday Joe's and Jane's are to be placated, but never taken seriously. Washington and it's insiders have become like a private club, it really doesn't matter your party, once your in, your part of the membership, and the club looks to protect it's own. This became clear to me after that mid level bureaucrat, decided it would be fun to use the power of the IRS and other agencies, to not grant tax free status to Christian groups, because they were considered to be conservative, and therefor posed a threat to the Democrats. The head of the IRS lied before the Senate subcommittee, regarding the woman's actions, and a career Republican, I believe it was Orrin Hatch from Utah? If not, my apology sir,  called this disgrace, an honorable man? Thats when it was apparent, that the real Washington was like a private county club. Do any of you besides me think there is something wrong when the richest counties in the nation surround Washington DC? The pay is great, the benefits are the best there is, your guaranteed a job for life, and the work is easy! Who wouldn't want a job with the federal government? It has become nothing but a bloated cash cow, that has grown to obese proportions, (federal jobs have been created at record rates by the Obama administration). We who are patriots and citizens of the world applauded the Brits for their brave stance against the globalization machine, and now in this country, we too have a critical vote coming. You can give the elitist establishment what it wants, and put in their choice, you can waste your vote on some libertarian,  who are weak kneed on defense, stay home and not vote at all, or vote for the first non-politician ever to run for the office. I'm for the people, and I am sick of politics as usual, I want real change, and after prayer and a lot of consideration, I am voting for Donald Trump in November. If you too are sick of the hypocrisy and double standards, if you are sickened by what 8 years of leading from behind has done to this nation, if you want any chance at all of restoring American pride and prestige again, vote for Donald Trump, and yes, he will make America great again!

A Can of Worms

  I've put this off  as I could, but now I guess its time to open this can of worms? First, who am I? Good question, for those of you who have read me for a while already know, I asked that very question of some of you, back in the Wisdom Quest days I think? Anyway, any of you who have been on board that long, thank you! I'd love to hear from some of you. What I am is nothing any of you can't be. Some people love to talk about themselves, I'm not one of them. So badly I did I not want to do this, that I wrote it out once, corrected it twice, and finally it came down to this. to A "shooting from the hip one,"' which means I'm typing directly what comes to mind, and this old wooden chair kills my back. But anyhow, back to the question at hand. Its a deep subject, but I am less confused about it now, than then. But there were people on line who thought I was Jesus. I can assure you that I'm not. I've been a Jersey Kid all my life, my wife's from Irvington, which was a kind of suburb to Newark I was born in Jersey City, so between the two of us, You can't get more Jersey than that. I'm a Christian Writer, but as a person, I'm kind off like trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. Politically, I'm considered a conservative, and thats a fair label, as I am a believer in States rights, rather than a centralized government. And that belief is not only for this country, but for the world, Congratulations to all you British patriots who stood your ground for  freedom from the central government and this so called attempt at globalization. Each country, except by vote otherwise, should remain autonomous. Remaining to be proud countrymen, a separate nation, who is an equal and willing partner in the global community.  Your stand was grass roots, your stand was for the working man, your stand was a brave step toward fighting the tyrant who is sure to come. Don't all of histories worst mass murderers always start so subtlety, as a gentle Socialist bearing gifts? Im gonna stop now, as even I know I'm meandering. I'm back, been gone for quite a spell I suspect? Just realized that the date might be important. Not sure why, but I went back to see the start date, but there was only current information. Anyway, I started this thing about would two  weeks or so ago in July, and now its August fifth. Be back in a flash..
  So anyway, let me get this debt paid, afterall, a promise is a promise. Where to begin is half the problem and how and where to end is the other. The square hole round peg reference is to the fact that politically, I'm considered conservative, while religiously, I wish there was a better word, but in that way, I'm considered a liberal. I can't win? The truth is that the truth hurts, and telling it will lead to more enemies than friends. As Kermit once said, It isn't easy being green. This really is hard, there are so many directions I can go? I believe I could probably make stereo instructions interesting, but when it comes to writing about yourself, I haven't got a clue?
  Maybe just a few personal stories, but that would take too long. Perhaps just a few beliefs. I believe there is one God, and that everything that is, is because of him. Recently, I was watching National Geographic, or something like that on TV. I don't know their names, but they are the new Carl Sagans, physics is their game. The premise of the story was that these two guys were all excited that according to their math, everything came from nothing. This is true enough, but trying to explain what they think is news, and their genius in math, left them woefully short in explaining it in English. Smart in math, but their oratory skills were somewhat lacking. The explanation they gave was that the universe condensed upon itself, until the pressure of this mass became so small and heavy that it exploded. I've also heard it explained that two objects collided causing this big bang. Your equations may be correct sirs, but no matter how you slice it, something had to pre-exist before the big explosion.  You either believe that all of the perfection of life had an intelligent designer, or you believe that all of this was just a lucky accident? An intelligence far beyond our own is responsible, God exists!
  I believe in one God, and though he has many names, there is only one way to that God, and that is through belief in his son, Jesus Christ. I believe that the U.S. constitution is the most perfect basis for any country. As personal as I can be is to tell you that I am logical to a fault. I'm not good with emotions. Things have to make sense for me to accept them. It was the same way with becoming a Christian. Though I agree that his thoughts are not ours, I could never accept that as an answer to a tough question, and just move on. I figured that God is the God of order, and not disorder, and though I don't claim to have all the answers, I know that I am right, because of the questions I did pursue, I did get the answer, and they made perfect sense. The key to remember is that the Lord doesn't want blind obedience, he wants you to understand. Don't be afraid to challenge him, that doesn't make it a sin, it makes it a conversation. I believe that there are others, but I'm sure the Lord intended me to be like a 21st. century John the Baptist. His job was to tell the people of His first coming, mine is to tell about His second coming. I'll tell you one more thing, and then I'm done, God has blessed me with knowledge, but I can also tell you that sometimes it seems more a burden than a blessing. It really isn't easy being green.
