Religion when it suits him…

So now our “Separation Clause” President is gonna weigh in on what Jesus would think about taxes. Yup, it seems the President of the United States has called out Christians implying that Christ would have supported his redistribution efforts. Oh brother…..

I must tell you, there are days when I have great respect for this man’s intellect, and then there are others when I question his ability to reason his way out of a paper bag. As many of you know, I very rarely jump in the religious fray because it is simply above my pay grade. But I am a believer and have read enough of the Bible to know that the POTUS’s “implication” is nothing more than a cheap political ploy. Jesus also spoke personal responsibility and self-reliance, and the Bible has many passages proclaiming the goodness of “work and success”. I mean does he take us all for fools???

I’m gonna leave this one be, as my Pastor will have my “you know what” for going down this road. But I would ask this Progressive President to adhere to that which his party celebrates and (can it) with the Jesus references. Disingenuous does not do this crap justice… This is gonna be a rough 10 months…

    Redistributon,lol. I know we should let the Middle class become poor so the wealthy folks dont have pay there fair share. Yeah i know your idea of fair share no doubt would alot different than mine,lol. Enough of making elimating the middle class and making them pay the lions share. The rich have gotten fifthy rich since Reagan,who byw the way,for all the pro proaganda he has gotten,didnt have a clue what was going on.He always had to consult and advisor to answer questions. Personally, I think Bush senior ran that white house.Which would explain alot. Time to take the tax code back to pre Reagan. Like that will ever happen with A.L.E.C. running the goverment.

    Wow, comment is awaiting moderation. So you only allow right wing comments here. I mean I know it’s your blog and all. I guess truth is all a matter of opinion anyway right? Lol.

      Well Alan, I wanted you to read this and I will get back to it.

      With regard to your comment(s), I receive hundreds of comments and emails weekly. I wish I could respond to all of them, but a full time job prevents this part time political pundit from doing so. I also recently switched website hosting companies because the prior one could not provide the logistical filters I need in place to do what I do. Consequently, my “Progressive fan club” would spam me regularly and send vulgar and vitriolic emails advocating for my demise as well as that of my family. I’m sure you can understand the need to vet this type of nonsense before it makes its way to any decent website. Additionally, I am still learning the filtering process for the new “WordPress” site. As I indicated in a prior post, I am temporarily allowing comments only from those folks I know personally so I can practice with and test the system. This is why I was a bit taken back by your assertion that I only allow “right wing” comments. Quite to the contrary, almost all of the comments I allow are opposing in view point, as I feel this is the best way to initiate the conversation. Ironically, you are one of those commenters and every comment (you) have sent I have posted.

      Anyway, I really wanted to address the propaganda matter. For starters, and to use just my last post, the job creation numbers are taken directly from the tax rolls for those time periods. It is a simple mathematical equation rooted in government collected statistics from the Internal Revenue Service. I do not claim to be right 100% of the time Alan, but I do spend a great deal of that time vetting that which I post so as to ensure its accuracy, and to deflect that very “propaganda” assertion you level. If I am wrong I certainly invite you or anyone to correct me so that my readers will know the truth. In the end, the little qualifier to the right of the blog title says it all: A blog for all things Conservative… Read on and join in the discussion. Your input is Constitutionally protected and always welcome…

      I do not do what I do Alan to forward just an agenda. I do it to make people think. It is true there is corporate greed, and there will always be corporate greed. However, many Progressives advocate “throwing out the baby with the bath water” as a means to an end. This smacks of ideological one sidedness and is frankly easy to spot. How about a flat tax across the board with low income folks excluded so they can get ahead. Moreover, the notion that the middle class pays all the taxes is simply false. You only have to look at the IRS statistics to know this isn’t so. The real numbers tell a very different story. It may not be a palatable one for some, but it is reality. Close to 50% of Americans pay no income tax at all. How is “this” fair? Even more frightening is how the wage line, or definition of someone who is considered “rich”, is ever changing in the eyes of many in Washington. That my friend, is class warfare plain and simple. When a Washington bureaucrat, right or left, has the power to change those parameters at will, our free market economy is surely in jeopardy.

      You yourself have said “absolute power corrupts”, and you are correct. Doesn’t it then make sense to surround yourself with folks who know more than you? Isn’t it blind vanity to assume you know all things? A good Chief Executive understands this. Reagan was many things to many people, but he was not stupid or foolish. You may disagree with his politics, and that is what makes America great, but every great President including the likes of Lincoln, Kennedy and Clinton, knew enough to build a winning team around them, and this was certainly a big part of their “individual” success.

      I do not claim to have all the answers Alan, but I can assure of a couple of things. Grand conspiracy theories seem always to not to pan out, and history is always our best teacher. Re-distribution, the so called “fairness doctrine”, and equality as guaranteed by any system of government, have always led to anarchy, world war and even genocide. That is why we are so different. “We the People” acknowledge that type of freedom cannot come from the hand of man (or government), but that government should exist only to protect and keep it. And so the Framers set about writing two of what “I” believe to be the 3 greatest documents in human history. In the course of the unending debate around those documents and what they mean, I ask only that my readers admit one thing. And that is this nation, for all of its faults and political roads yet traveled, is the greatest arrangement for mankind under God bar none. History is there for all to read, good and bad. But if we are truly and intellectually honest with ourselves first, one cannot come away with any other conclusion. Let’s build on that. Let’s fix what’s broken and work together to make America work for all Americans.
