It is not going to get better no matter who is in office..

First, let me congratulate the Canadian Hockey teams.  Here is a country with one sixth the population of amerika and probably spends one tenth to one hundredth the money on training their athletes for the Olympics and yet it managed to kick the butt of the US women's and men's hockey teams.  The US may be number one in killing civilians with drones, but not in winning hockey games.  Way to go Canada.


I Samuel 8:   "This is the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights.  He will take your sons and make them serve  with his chariots and horses(war) ........  Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war .........He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.  He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.................. He will take a tenth of your flocks and you yourselves will become his slaves.  When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king(elitist government) you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day."


I am always amazed at the people who believe "God" will save amerika.  These are the same people who embrace a system the practices brutal torture, the bombing of civilians and the destroying of third world countries for fun.  Why should/would God hear their cries for relief now?!


SOME OF MY FAVORITE DUMB SLOGANS


1 When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.  DUH!  This was a favorite mantra of the gun nuts for many years.  It is a definition, not some enlightened bit of wisdom.  If it is illegal to own a gun, then by definition if you own a gun you are an outlaw(one who violates the law).  Eventually, most people saw the stupidity in the mantra and it has disappeared from the scene.


2.  God is my Co-pilot.   This was a popular saying for years for those who wanted to feel "holier that thou."  Of course that saying violates everything that the Bible teaches.  Christians are suppose to FOLLOW God's teaching and not go their own way while God watches on.  That saying disappeared when someone discovered that "If God is your co-pilot, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG SEAT.


3.  I'll save this one for an entire article the next time because this saying/slogan was actually put into effect politically and it has an impact on most people's lives today and is one of the major reasons for income inequality that this nation now has.
