Fear, Hope, and the Same Ol' Song and Dance

Our new president was elected because he tried to convey a message of hope and seperate himself from his opponent, claiming he promoted a message of fear. Now, every time I hear the President speak, I seem to hear about the catastrophe that awaits if we don't do exactly what he says. Now I could be misinterpreting his grand extortion, with just plain fear-mongering, but either way, it isn't the finest face a President can put forth. It all becomes politics as usual.

Speaking of the same ol' song and dance; I personally, was very critical of the Bushes administration ever enlarging of the federal government. It was often noted, in the eight years under Bush, the size and scope of the Federal government grew larger than any other time in recent history. The Obama Administration 'hopes' to eclipse that, and "The New Deal" as well.

So in all his attempts to portray himself as the Anti-Bush, once in office Obama seems to govern with the same demeanor. Promote your agenda with fear, and make the government even larger.

On a side note, What is it wrong with Democrats that can not seem to debate with their true opponent. During the campaign, it appeared that every Democrat, no matter what position they were seeking, was running against George W. Bush. And now it seems they want to argue with Rush Limbaugh, a man that has no political office. Can I give the democrats a word of advice. If you want to destroy the republican party don't continue to point out the beacon of light, the one true, nationally heard, conservative voice. It will only draw more interest to what he has to say, and people may find they agree with more of what he says then you claim they should.

More Lyrics

No rhyme or reason to these lyrics other than they have been running through my head.

First off I was asked a pretty serious question by a good friend. And these lyrics came to my head.

Hold Me Now - Jennifer Knapp

From glass alabaster she poured out the depth of her soul
O foot of Christ would you wait if her harlotries known?
Falls a tear to darken the dirt
Of humblest offerings to forgive the hurt
She is strong enough to stand in your love
I can hear her say....

I'm weak
I'm poor
I'm broken, Lord
But I'm your's
Hold me now, hold me now

Let he without sin cast the first stone if you will
To say that my bride isn't worth half the blood that I've spilled
Point your fingers and laugh if you choose
To say my beloved is borrowed and used
She is strong enough to stand in My love
I can hear her say....

I'm weak
I'm poor
I'm broken, Lord
But I'm your's
Hold me now, hold me now



Second a song for all those I love that have gone before me.

You're Gone, I'm Here - Precious Death

You're cold and I'm here talking to myself,
'Bout you and everybody else.
My words are hard to swallow,
But here's a few that you can take with you

It's killing me..but one day you'll be seeing me. Yeah!

You're gone and I'm here
and I think about the things I never told you.
While you were on planet, right beside me.
You're gone and I'm here now
I guess I waited, one too long, for tomorrow.

I haven't slept for two days,
And I don't think I'll sleep tomorrow
You're gone and I'm here
Could be twenty years before I follow you to glory
Where one day you'll be seeing me. Yeah!

You're gone and I'm here
and I think about the things I never told you.
While you were on planet, right beside me.
You're gone and I'm here now
I guess I waited, one too long, for tomorrow.



Last Song is mainly a commentary on where we are at as a society.

Lost the Plot - Newsboys

When you come back again
would you bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumour that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.
sigh.
Let's be blunt.
I'm a little distracted.
What do you want?

Headaches and bad faith
are all that I've got.
First I misplaced the ending
then I lost the plot.

Out among the free-range sheep
while the big birds sharpen their claws.
For a time we stuck with the shepherd
but you wouldn't play Santa Claus.

sigh.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little distracted.
What do you want?

Once we could follow,
now we cannot.
You would not fit our image,
so we lost the plot.

Once we could hear you,
now our senses are shot.
We've forgotten our first love.
We have lost the plot.

When I saw you for the first time
you were hanging with a thief
And I knew my hands were dirty,
and I dropped my gaze.
Then you said I was forgiven
and you welcomed me with laughter.
I was happy ever after.
I was counting the days
when you'd come back again.
we'll be waiting for you
When you comin' back again?
we'll be ready for you
Maybe we'll wake up when...
maybe we'll wake up when
you come back again.

lies.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little unfaithful.
What do you want?

Are you still listening?
`Cause we're obviously not
We've forgotten our first love
We have lost the plot.

And why are you still calling?
You forgave, we forgot.
We're such experts at stalling
that we've lost the plot.
lost the plot

When you come back again
would you bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumour that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.

Political Parties

For many years i have been on the side of our first President, when it comes to political parties. They are dangerous and they serve no purpose but to divide a union.

Michael S. Adams gives a reasonable account on the reason to maintain a separation of political parties.

Exhuming James Madison - Mike S Adams

Have a great week all.

Spend All You Like, We'll Make More

So when your a government and you start to spend more money then you take in, what do you do? That's right you just print more. But what does that do. Someone new to my list of people I pay attention to. Glenn Beck tries to explain.
