1/30/2010 GOD
My humble look at the churches that I see and the things I see them do suggest that they might change their names to reflect who they do in fact worship in reality. Now how about the first church of U.S. Grant, The church Benjamin Franklin, or if the church is a more modest one the church of Lincoln for church names that reflect who and what we worship? I am just going by the buildings I see and the type of automobiles I see parked it the parking lot.
Consider for a moment what the guy that that died for all of their sins Jesus Christ. Now I pose a question what did Jesus do for people? I see him giving them what they could not give themselves. So that being the case why would it be so sinful for a church in modern day America to have a house improvement Saturday? The members of the congregation get together combine the skills in the church add a room or what is needed to some poor person’s house to give them more room. Or build an extra bathroom for a household that has a bunch of children and only one bathroom. Would it be an abomination if the church bought a newer car for a family driving one 13 years old. Is there a difference in these miracles and say feeding people or giving blind what you have to give the gift of sight isn’t this after what Jesus did give what he had? He said for us to do likewise so is building mega churches sending people all over the world to teach people how to dress like us live in houses like us and take up our materialism is this flowering Jesus ? Why is not giving what we have to other people and uplifting their lives not doing as Jesus

5 Things Americans Need To Understand About How Government Really Works
Government can't compete on even footing with the private sector: There's a reason why you get better service at Wal-Mart than at the DMV. It's no coincidence that FedEx makes a profit while the post office loses billions. Moreover, it's no shocker that Enron and Lehman Brothers are gone, but FEMA and ICE are still around. It's because the government can't compete on an even footing with private industry. Unlike businesses, they don't have their own money on the line, most of their employees advance based on seniority, not merit, and government agencies don't pay a big price for failure. To the contrary, if a government agency does a lousy job, it just means it will probably get a bigger budget the next year. What it comes down to is that the only way the government can compete with a business is by outspending it or by rewriting the laws to make the business less competitive with the government.
Government action often creates more problems than it solves: People are always clamoring for the government to "solve" problems, but what they don't understand is that when the government "fixes" one problem, it can often create another issue that may be even worse in the process. Our government's attempts to "fix" one problem or another led to the length of the Great Depression, the destruction of the black family in America via welfare, marriages shattering across America because of no-fault divorces, gas lines in the seventies, the Savings and Loan crisis, and the current banking crisis that was caused by a government-created housing bubble. While the government is not the root of all evil, many of the worst problems we have as a society were exacerbated or created by the government in its clumsy attempts to fix some long forgotten mess. This is why government should be treated as a necessary evil, not a force for good.
It's extremely difficult to shrink government: Our political system rewards spending money and punishes cutting spending. For example, if you create a 300 million dollar a year "Giving Fluffy Kittens to Orphans Program," people will love you for it. Animal shelters and pro-orphan advocates will publicly laud you for your compassion while orphanages around the country will funnel campaign cash into your coffers. Meanwhile, if you bring up the cost of the program, most Americans will shrug their shoulders and say, "Ah, it's only 300 million dollars." However, if you suggest cutting 50 million dollars from the "Giving Fluffy Kittens to Orphans Program," you'll be accused of hating orphans and kittens while every orphanage in the country will be screaming for your blood. In other words, government spending is easy to get started, but difficult to stop. That's why it's wise to be very hesitant to create any new programs -- because billions can be frittered away on useless debacles like Head Start that have proven to be nearly impossible to kill despite the fact that they don't work.
Our politicians lack expertise: Many people seem to attribute almost super human abilities to our politicians, but the reality is far different. Most of the politicians in DC are bright people, but as a general rule, they have a very superficial understanding of the subjects their legislation impacts. How can we expect people who barely know how to use the internet to handle a subject as complex as network neutrality? How can we think someone who has worked in government all of his life can truly understand how much a new regulation may hurt someone running a small business? Moreover, given the length of bills that are being shoved through Congress and the fact that these bills are written in legalese, many of our legislators undoubtedly don't even fully understand what they're voting on half the time. Point being, even when members of Congress have good intentions, their lack of hands-on experience can lead to disaster.
The first priority of our politicians isn't solving our problems: As the great Thomas Sowell has said:
No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems -- of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.
Getting reelected may entail lying about what a bill does, punishing people who don't deserve it because it's popular, rewarding special interests who may help your campaign, and promoting bills that sound good but don't work. The sad truth is that politicians are often rewarded at the ballot box for pushing policies that sound good, but ultimately do great harm to the country. That's all the more reason to limit the power of government as much as possible

I hate God
1/26/2010
I hate you God let me explain why I would hate you so u will know.
1. My mother she is a church of Christ lady she made me play the Troll because I have a loud voice in the first grade and for 55 years I have been a troll.
2. My mother she shouted and insulted me while teaching me multiplication tables this crippled me math wise for 55 years I have paid for that.
3My mother she told me that if I was going to school I would go to welding school if I was going to get her money’s help I hauled hay paid for half of the school dropped out and for 30 plus years starved.
4. My mother she gave one of my wives the money to fly home and I have never saw the daughter she had. My mother is a christen!!
5. Susan Gecho Green for nine months and three weeks we were married and she took Sarah Serenity Green and left to be raised by her Grandmother.
6.Floy Hobbs Susan’s Church of Christ grandmother that told Susan her mother was crazy broke up two of her mother’s three marriages scattered three children raised Susan Gecho till I met and married her.
7. Floy Hobbs she sent a letter to my wife about a Christmas present a book that Susan bought her mad Susan cry as she talked shit about her CHRISTMAS gift that her granddaughter got her. I thought Christ Mas was about Jesus Death on the cross not money???
8. Floy Hobbs family (Howard Cagle elder in Hillcrest Church of Christ) He has let Sarah Serenity Green be told I am dead. Do not Elders represent you on earth and this one has done this why God if he reflects you would I want anything to do with you???
9. Cindy Thomas Green the mother of Jake Whitten Green and Emily Theresa Green who pulled a gun on me and threatened my life she took those two children to North Carolina and told her Deacon father Everett Thomas not to let them talk to me on the phone. Do not Deacons represent you God? I give you credit he lived only twenty four months after she moved back.
10. Attention Deficit Disorder and Bipolar disorder these were my gifts from you and to be fair they have had the good parts and the bad parts but five marriages only you know how many jobs but the greatest gift of these disorders is the knowledge gained by working so many jobs and moving so often.
Now that you know the reasons explain to me why me? Explain why your Christians the so called representatives of you seem to worship George Washington after all he is on the dollar bill. These Christians build big churches an occasional hospital and lots of big colleges they live in nice houses drive nice cars throw big parties and decorate the houses for Christ mas and insist it is about Jesus but when you give one of them a simple book you get a two page letter about how that book could have been checked out at library. Why don’t these Christians go help the poor people with substandard housing add a room or two? Is it that somebody will complain that his business is being taken away which is up for argument if the people do not have the money for the building materials needed much less labor. Why do we hurt each other I have hurt Gerald Baty my friend by not paying back money. I have no money to speak of, one friend, and one dog. Why Lord do you hate me and Esau what is wrong with hunting if I did not kill a hog or deer I would not eat is it now that I must starve too? Why lord do these Christians live so well blessed and then do people so different I will not say wrong for they after all do represent you on earth.

games
1/25/2010 Games Games
We in this world now new thing called social networks and dating sites. If you are looking for another human being to be a partner in your existence then put you information on one of the many dating or social sites. I have had a computer for a time now this has allowed me to waste money on some of these sites and time. I have noticed that the female faces for a large part do not change. There is a site like fishing I have came on it and left came back same women there are adult sites too same women, I am on a site now a couple of sites that deal with BDSM and well not the same women and same men but the same games. I said to a friend that if there was a web site called WWW.Fuckawoman.com that you could not get laid on it either. I typed the web address in and low and behold it is a real site. In this time we are I believe putting off the real for the cyber. People have always had the non real as a salve to the harsh reality of life, drugs, alcohol, and things. Now it is wide spread no more boring books or magazines plan your affair, friendship, escape, and whatever you wish or want online. You can play this game of tagging,kissing,hugging,sending love, and all of it is virtual . There is a woman that has on her profile “should I be looking for the right woman instead of the right man” after being around this for a time I am almost ready to throw in with this statement. I heard a Lesbian tell me that the more she dated women the more she understood homosexual men that sound awful but perhaps it is true since the faces never seem to change.
