A critical creative look at issues of Economics, Politics and Finding a Purpose in Life - Let's talk about it. I try to leave the woodpile higher than I found it.

As long as it's other people's money, it doesn't matter how much you spend
It's true. This is going to be a very hard time.
The only place this isn't true is in government jobs, pensions and where parasitic unions have sucked the life out of everything until we are at the point of collapse. The CTA (Local Train System in Chicago) is broke. 90% of the money it spends goes to union workers. Not on cars, tracks upgrades, electricity. Something is wrong here. The system is collapsing.
The problem is, in the private sector it's MY MONEY I'm giving for jobs. I will gladly pay anyone any amount if they can produce incomes excess of their input. A dollar in and two out. If they can give me back three dollars for a dollar in then I'm in the mood to keep and reward that good work.
The idea of Creating Jobs is wrong. Creating an environment where jobs multiply is what matters. If a person has never met a payroll in his life he doesn't get this. That's why most in government, and in particular this administration are so inept at economics and the jobs situation.
In the public sector it's someone else's money. It doesn't matter. It's all being a big shot on someone else's credit card.
The government has stolen my identity and is using it to live large.

Free the Baptist Missionary Ten in Haiti
The Good Samaritan principal should be at work here. I know of one orphanage were 49 little girls huddled with NO food for 9 days after the earthquake. Governments are usually inept and if we learned any thing from Katrina..it’s the church that steps up to the plate.
It’s no problem to get kids out of Haiti if you grease the palms of the corrupt officials…
#1 There was no real functioning government left.
#2 The quasi-official they dealt with probably wanted a bribe.
#3 The government of Haiti is using this to flex their placid muscles as a political distraction to divert their inept corruption(politics 101).
#4 The liberal media loves to paint Christians in a bad light and sell copy.
LET THE BAPTISTS GO!

Hillary Clinton is NOT doing her Job
Then some pipsqueak non government arrests some clumsy bunch of do gooders. Going to put them on trial.
Hillary says it’s unfortunate. UNFORTUNATE????
Bull-loney.
Hillary Clinton must at once fly to Haiti and explain the situation in Joey Soprano language they can understand. “Hey, Hait…Crappy country you got here… I wouldn’t want that anything really bad could happen to it or to you if ya know what I mean; I’ll be sending a car for my folks here”.
And then do it. Cause an incident. Show them how the cow eats the cabbage.
Who in HELL (that’s what Haiti is right now) do they think they are?
Besides, If Hillary doesn’t do this I won’t support her to run against BHO in 2012.
That ought to get her attention.

What a House of Cards Looks Like
This is what the economy globally looks like. If you are looking from the inside out, it's very shaky.
This opinion maker says that any SINGLE event from his list of 20, just ONE will cause the coming collapse. A new depression.
Historians and behavioral economists tell us most investors are blind optimists. Investors cannot see bubbles from inside their bubble. Nor Fat Cat Bankers from inside their mega-bonus-bubble. Nor politicians from inside the beltway bubble.
Why? The optimist's brain filters out bad news. They know their dreams of prosperity will come true. Then, when they finally do see that the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train, it's always too late.
I will say it again, gently: A new meltdown is coming. The Great Depression II is coming, soon. And yet, I know your mental filters are working, blocking warnings of a bomb. I can even hear you calling me "the fool on the hill who sees the sun going down, the world spinning round" ... sees you kissing your retirement goodbye
I know this has been spoken of for some time, but it's real. There is nothing you can do about it. It's over.

Sarah Palin Hauls Rahm Emmanuel's Ashes
He called Conservative Democrats F'';;ing Retards.
Sarah has heard the F word before. She knows it. BUT RETARD gets her going. Good for you Sarah.
The only one who is deficient here is Emmanuel.

This article for Dakota Voice (I recommend it as a blog to visit) is pretty revealing.
And when I consider the rules for radicals Alinsky puts out it tells me that we see some of these tactics practiced right here in SAB.
Among Alinsky’s advice:
- Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
- Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
- Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.
Tea Party Documentary
This is a real thing. I’m thankful for men who have kept it going. Every state has it’s movement. I hope no national group tries to take “control”.
But, I’m proud of what we have done. I’m proud of the opposition to the evil that is in government today.
Lies and outright lies are everywhere.
Like the one that the President keeps telling about the deficit. That it was a trillion and a half deficit when he took office. It’s just not true. HE LIES.
Keep up the fight. We can take back this nation from evil.
Obama's Public Image?
Hussein Obama Never Got Past The Toddler Stage. Have you ever watched a toddler pull his hand back from some forbidden thing when you tell him no? He looks back at you, pulls his hand back a little, but keeps it extended where he can still reach what he wants.
Watch Obama on New York terror ‘trials’ on our soil. Watch him on Gitmo. Watch him on taxing and spending. Watch him on homosexuals in the military. He’s a bad little toddler.
NOTE, I didn't write any of this, this is what the public is beginning to say about him....Not a good image he presents.
Why Obama says what he does
1) He does this because he can. Obama, from college at Occidental to Chicago organizing, has never been called to account. He was always assured that his charm, his ancestry, or his rhetoric alone mattered, while his record, actions, and accomplishments were mere footnotes. He channels our hopes and dreams and need not traffic in reality. We, the people, like the media, have tingly legs and believe the president is “some god,” and therefore need not question the charismatic face on the screen.
2) Obama is a reflection of an era of liberal academic postmodernism. There are no absolute facts; truth is only an illusion in the eye of the beholder. Reality instead is relative, and predicated on the basis of power. Ergo, what others say is true is simply a reflection of their race/class/gender/religion/cultural privileges. Speaking “truth” to power means simply opposing those who, you deem, have more advantages than you and yours.
3) Obama is a neo-socialist who believes the ends of social justice justify most means necessary to achieve them. As a philosopher-king who knows what is best for ignorant lesser folk, who can’t possibly appreciate all the ways in which he works and suffers on our behalf (Cf. Michelle’s “deigns to run”)

How embarrassing and fearful that day will be for an Atheist
I know it. If you Know Jesus you know it. It's without denial. That day is coming. It's closer than ever before. Even at the door. The sky will roll back as a scroll. Every eye will see him coming. Not with a spiritual EYE. With the eyes in your head. Even the BLIND will see. They will have sight for this. CNN cameramen will drop to their knees if they try to video the event. They will cry out as will all of humanity, living and dead: He is LORD, HE is GOD.
It will be a fearful day if you have tried to live in denial. Only the Spirit of God can penetrate that shell. It will be too late if Holy Spirit is resisted long. That is the Unpardonable. Even the demons will bow and declare the Lordship of Jesus. SO WILL EVERY LIVING AND DEAD THING BEING AND SPIRIT.
I look forward to that day, evenso come Lord Jesus. For the Lost....tomorrow is too soon:
Phillipians 2:9-11
God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Scripture… As We Live It #91
January 31, 2010 By: Alan Knox Category: as we live it, scripture
This is the 91st passage in “Scripture… As We Live It“:
And the Lord’s servant the pastor of the church must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness not put up with teaching different than his own, but fiercely debate anyone who disagree with his theology in order to protect his church from heretical teaching. (2 Timothy 2:24-25a re-mix)
