I also pray that he gains wisdom. Don’t get me wrong I think he is very smart but he lacks wisdom. If that does not happen I pray that he is a one term president. Also to characterize all “Tea baggers” as angry, racist, poor white people is unfortunate.

All that the blessed Fergus did was flip a one fingered peace sign @ this so called neighbor of his while suggesting that this jackhole do something that only a very well trained contortionist could possibly do! It all made for a very interesting & inspiring Easter Sermon! Now I do beg your prayers because I began to hyperventilate while thinking for sure that I've got some sort of liver disease...but Fr. Farken sez that's rediculous cuz you'd never know if you had liver disease...he sez dat there's no discomfort of any kind! But that's it EXACTLY! Those are my precise symptoms! It's really scary! Oh well! Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen indeed! xxs&oos!

In the midst of it all... our Lord layed down his life as an offering for the Salvation of the whole wide world. Today is Good Friday! I planted a garden for the poor behind the church...our Good Friday tradition! My Baptist neighbor stuck his head over the fence & shouted, "Hey Father Assh*le! Why aren't you @ The stations of the cross?" Let me just say...you don't want to spend Good Friday in the Nashville jail!

(Yes, bigger than the Memphis Flyer.) Somebody has to stand up against the politics of fear and racism. What's so bizarre about the polarization and hate-spewing on the health care debate is that there are actually people who think their own cushy health plans will survive forever without some attempt to reign in the insurance companies' greed. Like everything in the imperfect governmental process, health care "reform" we're going to get isn't nearly enough, but at least this President is paying attention to the obvious need.geno722https://www.blogger.com/profile/15236026904737296972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12901178.post-27232113109868102782010-03-28T18:57:06.064-05:002010-03-28T18:57:06.064-05:00I choked a puppy last week, full-blooded St Bernar...I choked a puppy last week, full-blooded St Bernard.

So were a lot of today's demo leaders. Do you remember the Repubilcan Dirty Tricks Squads? I do and don't think the present far left has forgotten either. You need to consider the possibility that it is the far left that are making the threats and calls to discredit the Tea Parties. Just like Nancy Pelosi walking through the demonstraters with an over sized gavel. Again it could have been a set up with plants in the crowd to spit and yell the n word.

When asked a question about the reactions to the Palin rhetoric that he observed in the TV crowds, Obama said (paraphrase), "when things get tough, these people reach for their guns and bibles".<br /><br />He disavowed what he meant actually meant by saing that, but we all know it waa true then, and it's certainly true now....

Truly.
I believe t...Beautifully written, Randy. Truly. <br /><br />I believe that the American century has come to an end and countries with billions of people will continue to assert what their economies of scale allow...and we will inevitably see and feel that our standard of living is continuing to fall. We will no longer be able to expect that our dollar will purchase what we want, and for many, what we need. The pain of the relative fall of a once great nation, even when the precepts that made it great are still in place, is the pain that revolutions are made of. It's hard to go from always getting the girl to having to play right field instead of shortstop and no longer getting the high fives wherever you go. These times create the Nationalism that we've seen over and over again throughout history. <br /><br />What concerns me is that in the over-weening attempt to reinvigorate our national spirit ripped by economic realities we'll end up electing some idealized demigod who will pick a fight with one of the other countries on earth who are attempting to manifest only what they have seen from us. He'll want to show them who's really BADASS...and who's really still in charge.<br /><br />Bad scenario, yes. But, past is prologue.<br /><br />Unfortunately, these are the times that require the most delicate sense of touch. It requires the maestro who can painstakingly but subtly tune the instruments of this 350 million piece orchestra to maintain some harmony. Someone who can help us find a way to ease into a new reality that could last for half a century or more...but, that was preordained by the physics of the flow of capital so there is nothing now to do other than to be wise. <br /><br />There's a concept. Can we be wise? Who will help lead us to wisdom?<br /><br />Rush? Dick Armey? Pence? Boehner? McConnell? PALIN?????<br />Yeah!!!!<br /><br />What we need at times like this are more guns in the hands of as many beer drinking alcoholics as we can find. We need to make sure that they are whipped up into false fervor carrying signs that read at cross purposes to what they really need. We need to have leaders who will try to make people on earth who are different from us in facial features, or color, etc, begin to look like aliens....and really bad mean spirited aliens at that... who want to eat our babies. Yeah, and we need to have some place to spend our fury at not being able to get what we want and to show our anger at not being the king of the hill any longer. <br /><br />The Republican party in the United States of America in the early 21st Century is beginning to look like the early National Socialist German Workers Party in what remained of a war torn Germany in the 1930s. A bunch of obviously overly frustrated wannabes who never had the intellect to get anything really creative done for society who want to show their dead daddies (who they thought hated their guts and certainly didn't love them enough) how really strong they really are. <br /><br />Oh, boy. Just what the world needs. More sad idiots who want power.Greggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12901178.post-14483178485201935482010-03-28T09:46:01.653-05:002010-03-28T09:46:01.653-05:00I saw some teaparty types on the corner of Federal...I saw some teaparty types on the corner of Federal Highway here in Ft Lauderdale yesterday with lots of flags, anger, and lies flying.
