Just an outsider's opinion... but "it's all Bush's fault" right?

"Obama's just been trying to fix the mess Bush created."

But, I just don't get how multiplying your debt to infinity and beyond = fixing it...
Actually...In the U.S. system....the Congress has...."the power of the purse"...and is responsible for the debt....

The U.S. "President" is a misnomer.....He's no CEO....
That office is only Commander in chief of the military....and basically appoints here and there ...makes about a million speeches...a few pardons....and a few executive orders now and then...pretty lame...not as powerful as He should be IMO.

Everyone wants to inaptly blame the President....when only Congress is the place where laws are made and money is appropriated....and budgets are approved..

... but we are told...by faith...that the three branches of our government are "equal"...so everyone still blindly blames Obama for everything

...but the U.S. inapt constitution declares that "We the People"...are forming a government...in order to...blah..blah...

..but practically.....we find that..."US the gridlocked Plutocracy"....in order to make the most money; have fame and power; and yet have the lowest taxes....
will give away our jobs overseas.....attempt to police the world....and borrow from China to cover it....

...I really wish people could connect the dots.....and see that the USA has moved out of the top ten of most lists...except for Waste, Fraud, Lies, and Abuse.

...BTW...it was our brain dead Congress that gave the authority to Pres. Bush.....so he could command our troops to drop all the bombs and murder innocent people in Iraq....
..At least in Australia...you can get things done......way to go on gun control!.....mass murders are way down....here they keep going up.
"The wise are those who utter words with respect to God's ears and eyes".. JC Goodman

The problem with a hypocrite...is that he doesn't know that he is one ...JC Goodman

is actually and honestly..... a distrust in the sovereignty of God...JC Goodman

Oh boy! Jcgood is showing his true colors now! He's a gun control nutcase! And you claim you're not a bleeding heart liberal?

I have coined a new word for the moderators...."Cutticism"......because you guys just cut and paste a statement...and then a one or two line criticism....without any explanation of how you get to your conclusions.

...Is this a "discussion board"...define discussion....or ....adventures in mind reading? :lol:

Of course...we are all liberal...we are all conservative......and labels are for children...remember?
We all are for gun control...
Parenting equals governing......nobody is going to give a two year old a loaded gun...

For you labelers...actually moderate gun control is a "non-partisan centerist" issue....which is my claim...
...gun confiscation....would be liberal.....

Stop driving to the right ...cause you always end up in a ditch....stay in the center.... :pound:

The party of "no"...has hijacked so many non-partisan centerist issues....and moved them to the extreme right...

Conerva-phobe....?...more accurately....I am partisanphobic....

Because ...IF and only IF I believed this was a God fearing country filled with Genuine Born Again Christians...who would naturally love their neighbor...You betcha I would be a total right winger...

Conservative ideology would work great if nobody took advantage of their neighbors in labor and legal matters...in a free...unencumbered economy...
...but that's not the real world..

...The reason why God laid out such a Liberal Dictatorship government on the Israelites...is to lead them to Christ.....it's He who delivered us from the bondage of the Law Romans 7:4-6.
...It's just not logical....to give a lawless people.....more lawlessness....with less government ....what do you think Hell or jail is for?....confinement of extreme lawlessness

Th opposite of Jail or Hell is ...Heaven....that's the only place where liberal government will not ever be...because we will all be perfect and completely redeemed.

If the Lord who knows our hearts didn't give a libertarian government to the only God fearing people on earth....how can we think it could ever work in a secular, gentile nation full of unwise sinners....?

Jcgood I can sympathize with some of what you're saying, but goodness, those ellipses. Also, paragraphs can be longer than a sentence :P

Thanks for the feedback..
....but I want everyone to have the freedom of writing style...

I like my ellipses......because people need to pause....it's comparable to the... "Selah" of the Psalms..

We are commanded to speak in Psalms and Hymns to one another...

This is actually evidence of the Holy Spirit..and something joyful......

Jcgood, which country would you like to live in? Just curious.
The best answer is......the place where the Lord sends me...which is currently southern Oregon....IMO....it is the least offensive place in America....I have met Christ loving brothers and sisters here....it has good air and water quality....is sparsely populated....feels a little more like Europe...and it is less partisan..

I have a place in Malta.....where people are healthy , the food is healthy ...mediterranean, tuna pizza, the climate is mediterranean......I don't need a car there...{freedom}.....and they only have 1 murder a year.....

We are free to buy antibiotics and skin creams there for 5 - 10 dollars...instead of unnecessarily clogging up a doctor's office... for minor issues..

....although I really like the area of Tel Aviv near....Joppa, Israel.....its beach and its open air markets with freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.....It is very expensive...and very hot..
...but near where Our Lord walked.. y>:D<

Greece is one of my favorite places...culturally...but it is fairly corrupt...so I would rather just visit....

I am going to Columbia...and possibly Haiti...possibly Cuba....if the Lord allows

...I always have a little depression when I have to return to Sodom......

...But my citizenship is in Heaven.....

Rick D:
I usually don't like to be this blunt, but there's not one person here who understands what you're babbling on about. And judging from the lack of responses on your 7+ year old blog, I don't think others not understanding you, is the issue. You are pretty much alone on your little island. Off in your own little world, away from reality. Of course there's the possibility that you are correct, and everyone else is wrong. And judging from your responses when you get criticism from other believers, you think you've been given some special revelation that others just can't see.

I'm sure you're going to interpret this as an attack on you. It's not. Everyone that has responded to you has tried to be nice with their criticisms. That didn't work. You are oblivious to other's opinions.

Seriously, this whole schtick of yours is getting tiring. Nobody here is buying what you're selling.

Please, if you must continue with your rants, consider taking your game somewhere else.
Finally ....an honest post... :esurprised: exhibiting the exact delinquency that I was intended to expose
Finally confessing....what I have known all along

Judging the veracity of statements by .....specious standards...of "popularity"...and consensus of those in the dark

It is funny that all my friends can understand what I am writing......

The fact that you need to give me a false directive to.."sell these thoughts elsewhere"...speaks clear enough

You don't trust people enough to make up their own mind and/or use the ignore button....

It's not that I am alone on my Island...I have plenty of people that understand what I am saying.....

It's that...ironically.....in "America"....you cannot or don't tolerate anything that you can't understand.......
and only can relate to birds of your own carnal kind.......

what you call rants...I call admonishing

1..give me an example of a "rant"...?
2...tell me why it is OK for others to offer their "rants...and the nice brother with the longest posts in the universe..pushing
Post millenialism...?

It is loving to call out carnality ..and division..and warn others of the evil that they cannot see because of carnality..

This is what Paul did....I don't assess admonishing as ranting....

admonishing only bothers the incalcitrant rulers of Synagogues...nobody else...cares...
remember..."nobody reads them anyway".....

You will never understand....because ....you don't ask any questions.... and call my sincerity a "Shtick"
without proof...
.....This judgment is closer to the gestapo...than 1 Cor 13.....

....What good can come from your intolerance? None...

...Without love it profits nothing....can you understand that statement...or does it require "special revelation"..?

The Lord, Paul, John,,,,,,etc. were also accused of being "babblers"...and kicked out of Synagogues.....also..

FYI...He has the Last Word here..on the E- Synagogue..and everywhere......I hope you know that....

Good Day...

Yes, you are a special messenger, sent to expose us all.

Me, myself, I, and pink elephants don't really count as friends.

I asked you to "consider" taking your game somewhere else. You embarrass yourself more and more with every convoluted word you post.
You don't trust people enough to make up their own mind and/or use the ignore button....
Sorry. Our ignore button broke due to overuse, because of your posts.
It's not that I am alone on my Island...I have plenty of people that understand what I am saying.....
Psychiatrists are supposed to tell you they understand, so you'll feel better.
It's that...ironically.....in "America"....you cannot or don't tolerate anything that you can't understand.......
and only can relate to birds of your own carnal kind.......
I think we've all tolerated you long enough.
what you call rants...I call admonishing
No, I'm pretty sure "rants" is more accurate.
It is loving to call out carnality ..and division..and warn others of the evil that they cannot see because of carnality..
Perhaps you are right. We are all blind. You are truly a messenger sent to straighten us all out. :shock:
This is what Paul did....I don't assess admonishing as ranting....
Sir, you are no "Paul". And I don't assess your ranting as admonishing.
admonishing only bothers the incalcitrant rulers of Synagogues...nobody else...cares...
remember..."nobody reads them anyway".....
Why...must...you...write...like...this...?
You will never understand....because ....you don't ask any questions.... and call my sincerity a "Shtick"
without proof...
.....This judgment is closer to the gestapo...than 1 Cor 13.....
Stop...writing...like...this...It...makes...it...difficult...to...read.
....What good can come from your intolerance? None...
It would lead to you being banned permanently this time. Tell me how that's not good.
...Without love it profits nothing....can you understand that statement...or does it require "special revelation"..?
How can I understand? I'm in the dark. Remember? Focus on your mission. You were sent here to enlighten us. Don't lose your focus, like you've lost your mind.
The Lord, Paul, John,,,,,,etc. were also accused of being a babbler...and kicked out of Synagogues.....also..
Paul, John, Ringo, and George. I am the walrus.

Rick D..
Excellent pointless job of cutticism! :clap:

Since you are actually unable to back anything up...
tell us the real reason for your contempt and disrespect
Sir, you are no "Paul". And I don't assess your ranting as admonishing
Sir, you are no judge....and no prosecutor....and you don't know Paul....and you don't know me..
You cannot assess anything...honestly....

You have passed mocking 101...move ahead....

...the avatar is very appropriate for you...

FYI....The verb "consider" is a directive ...last time I checked
Stop...writing...like...this...It...makes...it...difficult...to...read.
Stop.... controlling... and ...nitpicking...and....exaggerating....it...makes..it
difficult ...to breathe....gasp.....

Send in the Clowns......We ought to have Clowns....

I'm so glad we had this time...together........

May I ask whether you also criticize those countries you mentioned? Oregon, Malta, Israel, Columbia, Haiti...

Hmm, do they also have usury there?

Maybe some other things you do not like about?
