Remember the Neediest!

Let us remembereth that it was the Busheth regimeth that gaveth taxeth favoreths to the wealthyeth...Busheth ingnoredeth the middle-classeth and pooreth...and noweth our economyeth is paying dearly foreth it!!!

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes...

The people that are discussing the "Reverend" issue..... Really????

The left are all elitists! Helping the poor? Let me know when there's universal healthcare and education.

speaking of education..........Ho 4:6 ¶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

The people that are discussing the "Reverend" issue..... Really????

The left are all elitists! Helping the poor? Let me know when there's universal healthcare and education. It's about classism these days. Left, right, center whatever.

Give the guy a minute to catch his breath, Mr. West. We (citizens of the US) have only had eight years of Democratic president in the last twenty nine years!!! As my eleven year old would say: Chi-lax!!!

"Jeremiah Wright, the flawed preacher who always saw it as his job to speak truth to power."

bry,
There is a big difference in "to speak truth to power." and "to engage with real power "

What is the power of God unto salvation?>>>>>>>>>>>>Ro 1:16 ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The only way we can be pleasing to God is to get back to the gospel and rid ourselves of ALL these manmade churches and doctrines that are not even found in the gospel of Christ but stemmed from the "mother of harlots" (Rev. 17:5) which is the catholic church..................methodist, baptist, luthran, episcopal, pentecostal, presbyterian, mormon, jehovah witness, moravian, etc. etc. etc. ALL sprang from the catholic church and are nothing but confusion, (BABYLON)

Without faith we cannot be pleasing to God...........Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Faith comes from hearing God's word,,,,,,,,,,Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Only ONE faith in God's word............Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

This was prophesied 100's of years before Christ.............Ac 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

NO WHERE IN THE GOSPEL, (THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION), (THE WORD OF FAITH) DOES HE TELL US TO BECOME "CATHOLICS" "BAPTIST" "METHODIST" " PRESBYTERIANS" "LUTHRANS" "MORMONS" "JEHOVAH WITNESSES" NOR ANY OTHER OF THE MANMADE CULTS IN THE WORLD TODAY TEACHING DOCTRINES OF MEN............Mt 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

"Jeremiah Wright, the flawed preacher who always saw it as his job to speak truth to power."
So your saying Hitler's flaw was seeing it as his job to speek truth to power, because hate is hate and this pathetic excuse for a journalist is obviously a left wing nazi.
Where will all you crazy leftys work when newsweek goes under?

The article reads,
In Dreams From My Father, Obama ponders the harm that may befall a community if its church "refuse[s] to engage with real power and risk genuine conflict." What harm indeed.

Pr 25:9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

Obama made so many promises: stimulating the economy, creating more jobs, universal healthcare, ending the war, solving global warming, reducing the deficit, raising taxes on only the rich, improving the school system and stopping the warrantless wiretapping. He didn't fool many on the right, but he successfully sold a bill of goods to the left. Didn't they realize that no mere mortal could accomplish this? I heard people acclaim that Obama would help them with their mortgage payments!

Obama's first and only priority should have been getting the economy on track. Improving the economy and reducing debt would have gone a long way to helping the poor. They have been disapportionately affected by job losses. Instead, he let Nancy Pelosi and company write a stimulus bill that was laden with pork and did not create the promised jobs. Obama made too many promises that he is unable to keep. As a result, many Americans on both sides of the spectrum are becoming more unhappy by the day.

The more agitated the left becomes with Obama's efforts to tread the center, and the more the right magnifies trivia to paint him as a socialist or worse, the more firmly my support for him becomes. As a moderate and centrist who holds both stereotypically liberal and conservative views on various matters, I did not vote for him in order to exchange right-wing orthodoxy for left-wing orthodoxy.

While those on the left and right do have the practical and important value of provoking us to think anew about our perspectives and positions, I'll take a pragmatist like Obama when it comes to governing. The right and left simply make an absolute hash of governing because they are blinded - by their fervor and self-righteousness - to the good ideas that might emerge elsewhere on the political spectrum.

Universal health care... that it has never been done shows the power of the opposition. To suppose that the opposition are NOT muscle bound corporate thugs willing and able to say or do whatever it takes to win is naive...just remember who she works for. Lotus Land is their preferred state of mind.
