BIG CITY POLITICS AND CHURCHES

This is not the first time that Linden has touched upon this situation for which there appears to be no rational answer. Almost all of the largest cities are led by members of the democrat party. A fairly large percentage of the inner city churches welcome with open arms the leaders of this party. This in spite of the records showing constantly increasing poverty, out-of-wedlock births, abortion rates, and crime in general. Recently, the Christian owners of Chick-fil-A have been slighted in major ways by some of the large city political (democrat) leaders. Will the leaders of the churches in these cities embrace racism and politics over Christianity? Judgment Day will come!!!

Started my Monday by dropping by the church for a few minutes then on to Chick-fil-A for biscuits and gravy. Due to the recent publicity, I will start going there even more often. Then, I picked up a bunch of junk mail at the post office. Kent dropped by for a short visit. Corresponded with Brian and Julie and I did little worth mentioning most of the day. Lloyd came by in the evening and we went to a relatively short Republican meeting in Avon.

1100 PAGES OF CRAP

Linden believes that much of the maligning of Congress is wrongly attributed to the bodies as a whole rather that judging the House and the Senate separately. Any thinking person would have to judge the House as being vastly improved over some previous years while judging the Senate, under democrat Harry Reid, as a disaster for America.

Linden’s focus for today is on the review by Republican Representative Kelly of an 1100 page worthless piece of trash. Should the authors of any bill that exceeds 999 pages be tarred and feathered? Regardless, the first link below is of the Kelly speech with the second addressing, again, the phony birth certificate of our President.

My Friday started with the always enjoyable Men’s Prayer Breakfast. It was a cooler day and late in the afternoon brought, for the first time in what seems like forever, a light rain. The high point of my Saturday was having breakfast at the Avon American Legion Post. Some good conversations there. Sunday brought church and Sunday school attendance followed by brunch with friends. Later, watched a very good boxing match,           NASCAR racing and some other stuff.

BORING WHITE GUYS

It seems to Linden that most of the “news” commentators are boring white guys with an occasional boring white women, and boring black and Hispanic men and women thrown into the mix. Of course, Linden’s view of the media is generally unfavorable. As shown in the following link, Mitt Romney had a very good response to a question regarding boring white men:

We were supposed to get some rain during the daylight hours on Thursday. Didn’t! My day started with the usual Thursday breakfast meeting…Jack and Wayne couldn’t make it. At 11:30, the Golden Glows had a pitch-in luncheon at church…it was very good as was the report the students gave regarding their recent trip to Cambodia. Later, Julie called for a good visit.

ASSIGNING RESPONSIBILITY

Immediately following and almost concurrent with the news of the mass killing in Aurora, Colorado a representative of the liberal mass media started the attempt to cast blame on Tea Party activity. The attempt failed, just as it has in every like effort. Now, the focus is on gun ownership…this also is a well developed approach by the liberal mass media and those it so slavishly follows. As Linden may have previously noted, it is next to impossible to reason with those of the liberal bent…they almost invariably get overly irritated when their judgment is questioned. The link below may contain the answer to the question of who to assign responsibility…Linden had never thought of this before…please read it.

ANSWERING THE OBAMA QUESTION

It has been reported that President Obama asked this question, “What if Malia and Sasha had been in the theater?” He was, of course referring to the site of the mass killings and wounding in Aurora, Colorado. Let us see if Linden can answer this for our so smart and well-educated leader.

Malia and Sasha would have been accompanied by a number of well-armed agents who would have dealt severely with the shooter! Linden is always happy to help answer difficult questions for those who are intellectually gifted.

REMEMBER ROANOKE

President Obama’s recent anti business campaign stop in Roanoke, Virginia apparently opened the eyes of several of those slow learners who thought that reporting his imperfections was a form of racial bigotry. It is past time that those news outlets who endorsed his candidacy in 2008 be held responsible for their lack of sound judgment and for their refusal to properly vet a candidate. They should very publicly apologize. The following links to two articles are perhaps the best Linden has read on the general subject.

TAXPAYERS BY INCOME GROUP

Linden often listens to the Greg Garrison radio show on weekday mornings and the Rush Limbaugh show in the afternoons and considers both to be superior news sources. Today we focus just a bit on news that was the subject of one of the Rush shows. If we consider the top 20% income group, they paid just over 67 cents of each dollar of income taxes collected. The next lower 60% paid about 32 cents of each dollar collected and the lowest 20% paid less that one half of one cent. Is this a perfect system or what?

YOUR SENATE, YOUR IRS

A recently received Citizens against Government Waste mailing reminded Linden of an interesting report he had read maybe six weeks ago, A link to that report appears at the bottom of this bit of writing which, perhaps, would be more appropriately titled, “OUR SENATE, OUR IRS.” The mailing and the link illustrate how the IRS and The Senate, under democrat Harry Reid, are effectively stealing over $4,000,000,000.00 of taxpayer money, or that borrowed from the Chinese, to reward illegal immigrants. As usual, the Republican House objected to this misuse of funds only to be stopped by Reid and his sheep. More and more Linden is becoming convinced that anyone voting for any democrat is actively supporting the forces of evil.

The regular Thursday morning with the guys started my day. I, then picked up my mail and did two loads of wash. It was a great day for family: heard from both Brian and Julie, received a card from a niece and talked to a nephew. I, thanks to a section in The Indy Star, checked indianaunclaimed.com and saw that the State was holding something listed to my deceased sister, Dixie.

NOT A PLAIN JANE

Jane Pitt, mother of actor Brad Pitt, recently raised the hackles of many on the left by stating her views that have some political import. Basically, she sounds to Linden like a believing Christian who supports Mitt Romney for President, and views homosexuality and abortion very critically. These views would, of course, cause her to be opposed to the retention of President Obama. In searching for a related link to bring you, several were found that  contained obscene language. The following link was selected.

My Wednesday was busy: I had breakfast at Chick-fil-A, picked up my mail which included some medicine I was about out of, had a meeting or two at church, and went to the American Legion for a short time. I still have plenty to do and that is without devoting some effort to book sales. Maybe tomorrow.

CAN AME BISHOPS BE WRONG?

Before considering this question, please read these words To the Church in Laodicea from The Bible and view the following video link: Rev. 2:15-16, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot, I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm – neither hot nor cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”  http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/07/03/ame-church-slams-house-vote-against-holder/

It appears to Linden that the Bishops vocally support Attorney General Holder, who has failed in several areas of responsibility and has demonstrated a bent for untruthfulness, simply because he is black. In addition, it appears to Linden that their view regarding requiring voter id  fails to consider that such id is required in many areas of our life. One must wonder if they approve of voter fraud and in our government supplying guns used to kill Mexicans and a Border Agent or two. The Church at Laodicea?

My Tuesday was busy but pretty uneventful. Jack came over in the evening and got my DVD player to work if a few wires are changed…not the way it should work but a vast improvement.
