Who'll listen

Posted in: Muscatine

I'm a independent voter whose views lean a bit to the liberal side. I despise racist behavior and comments. This forum allows both. I'm only here to call it out when I see it. This causes much turmoil and many times it branches it's ugly head into other topics. Sorry.

 

BDI - TP says that he despises racist behavior and comments. He has his own personal yardstick to measure if a comment is racist. Basically, any negative comments about obama he considers as racist. Most of us have been lambasted as racist by TP from time to time, mostly when he doesn't agree with a  statement made.

He may state that he is an independent voter, but his views are so far left it is unreal.

He uses the word "Sorry." That my friend is bullsh*t. He says sorry but continues to do the same things over and over again, so we know he isn't sorry.

Just a few words to help you understand some of the conflict on this site.

Oh dear.  It's really quite simple.  Nobody takes TP seriously.  If he delivers the message, it is dismissed.  If you deliver the message, it is usually laughable.

Here are some laughable things the pastors at Rick Perry's prayer meeting have said.

 

Oprah is a sign of the Apocalypse: In his channel on GOD TV, Mike Bickle called Oprah a “forerunner to the harlot movement.”

 

Blackbirds are dying because of gay soldiers: Dr. Cindy Jacobs recorded a video declaring a connection between the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the sudden death of blackbirds in Beebee, Arkansas as a divine punishment.

 

The Statue of Liberty is a “demonic idol”: In various sermons, John Benefiel called the Statue of Liberty a “demonic idol.”

 

Hurricane Katrina was divine retribution for the city’s “sin”: John Hagee said residents of New Orleans were at fault for Hurricane Katrina: “I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that.” Hagee has also insinuated that “the Holocaust…was the fault of Jews themselves” and Hitler acted as a “hunter” corralling the Jews into Israel.

 

Jesus actually opposed the minimum wage: Influential pastor David Barton has made a name for himself by distorting Biblical text to support his claim that Jesus opposed the minimum wage and the capital gains tax.

 


I feel bad I couldn't find a written version of the Texas preacher who essentially said Japan's recent troubles were because the Emperor had sexual intercourse with the Sun Goddess.   I did see it on TV.

I assume it was consensual so don't know why the Goddess would punish Japan.

My only guess it was a jealous God.

 

Anyway, its another one of Perry's friends who dreamt up the story.

I don't think he has distanced himself from this preacher yet.   Maybe in Waterloo.

Well okey dokey then.

I have some overt opinions toward some issues and despise the hypocritical, the redundant greedy liars, faith-mongerors who hide behind the bible to gain political and finacial ground, and although far from the racist jabber out there, i do understand why these days it's become another of our almost drol and painfully pointless issues. I have read so many of the backstories once I was encouraged to come amongst you all. Some I really liked and some not so much. It kinda falls flat much of the he said she said stuff. But it does call to me from one to another now and then. I should say up front, that I am a republican, my husband is independant but to each neither of is truly faithful hence this hypocracy abounds from all sides in this mess we are all in. We had  periods of prosparity and then poverty and well we sea-sawed into the worst of times as much of have now. We went pretty much bust when the hog market collapsed in the 90's. We despised Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Clinton, loved Reagan, and despised both Bushes. The man in the white house now is a fool. Why on earth he wanted that job or still does is a real puzzler. I just hate to go on because some will be mad at me and some will not. I just don't want to be one of those axes to battle with, so will say just this, Herbert Hoover took on a nation's troubles well under way as did this man. he hasn't done too much good, but it falls to perspective it seems as to why or why not. Stagnant congress is a good start to help cut a man down in charge. I just don't understand why congress spent 2 years piddling away a grand chance to kill those free trade laws that have clearly destroyed our job market. Americorps have taken everything they could get while our government just sat back and argued over healthcare for two years. How in the name of salvation is that going to return our jobs? i just don't get it and well as I see it both parties have done their level best to ignore what they really needed to do and by now have piddled away another 2 years while we sink even further into misery. I'm sick of the debt ceiling, the ridiculous stock market theives, the lying stealing bankers and crooked politicians. It hurts so much to turn on the tube and listen to them point over there and the others back over here and so on. They all put us in this mess with their bills set to destroy our jobs and pack away all those trillions in profits while they and the government turn their backs on America. i would end by saying, we need term limits, repealing of all the legislation that Bush signed to give away so much to americorps that did nothing but hand the second biggest entitlements to those making all that money we no longer have to support our nation. Lord help us if they don't repeal those laws soon. The talking heads just stir up the bees and distract us from the reall issues, all the while those trillions in profits just keep sinking away from our economy. Enough is enough.

I'd rather talk about cooking.

BDI - I agree with most of what you have said including I rather talk about cooking. I believe our President is a fool. A smarter fool than any Republican standing to oppose him, but a fool none the less.
