So I woke up this morning to hearing about the devastating tsunami and earthquake that hit the northern coast of Japan. And my prayers go out to the Japanese people, for their welfare, safety and for their families.
I also noticed one trend in twitter was pray for Japan. And I thought that with all the anti God garbage on social networking sites, it is great, that pray for Japan is one of the top tweets right now.
However I think it is too bad that the whole feeling for whats in style right now is In God We Trust, but when a crisis has been tended to and is not front page news anymore. Well the style's outdated. And its time to be politically correct again. I think it just verifies that some people do not know where to turn during times of crisis, because they have no foundation or principals to adhere to, and that little divine spark in all of us says, there is a God.
You nailed it! Keep going young friend!
ReplyDeleteJesus, dude, you are one big coward. You can't even handle dissenting comments in your videos. Yet you have comments turned on.
ReplyDeleteYou are very much concerned with recieing praises and little else. What point is there to the comments section if it is just filled with one sided slop? Spend less time trying to impress people with big names in your reading list and actually read something?
As for the comments to your allegation that MLK was a conservative:
When you have to go out and capture some other political affiliation's heros because your own heros are so very terrifying and racist, maybe you should look into the political affiliation of the heros you be trying to steal?
It is like when people say Jesus would be conservative despite the fact that Jesus was highly radical at the time and spent much time railing against the conservatives of his era, and despite the fact that the bible is filled with text demanding people to pay their taxes and protect the weakest and sickest.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing conservative about social safety nets protecting the weakest and there is nothing conservative about railing against established power structures.
As for Japan, it is amazing what a stratified social safety net coupled with rigorous government regulations in building codes can accomplish.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have Japanese going bonkers because they believe their government will pull through for them with needed supplies. Contrast that with Katrina where we left tens of thousands to rot and the level of panic that swept across that area. Also contrast it to the utter obliteration of NO's fishing industry thanks to destroyed regulatory structures powered by private money.
I'm sure MLK would have voted for R. Reagan due to his campaign promises of repealing the civil rights acts.
ReplyDeleteYou are sporting the shirt of a virulent racist homophobe responsible for creating an additional 3.3 million homeless people in his first 5 years of office and who is responsible for purposefully inflicting AIDS on as many people as possible as he muzzled his own Surgeon General. The guy who is responsible for your night terrors about the US going bankrupt, the guy who single handedly created an entire police state revolving around the drug trade, the guy who single-handedly destroyed energy independence for the US. The same guy who helped defang the second amendment and turn it from something that protected you from the government to something affiliated with home defense and sporting by banning sub machine guns (thus removing the biggest reason for protecting the right to bear arms in the process).
What exactly is it that you stand for? Because wearing the shirt of a wayward butcherer of innocent people seems to say you don't stand for a damn thing.
You can't sport a shirt of the guy responsible for turning the world's largest creditor to one of the world's largest debtors and bitch about the deficit at the same time without coming off as dishonest and untrustworthy.
What is it like getting schooled so hard by an uncouth bastard?
