What if Wright were white and right wing?

wright“Do white right-wing preachers have it easier than black left-wing preachers? Is there a double standard?” E.J. Dionne asked in the Washington Post. He noted that the Revs. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson made even more divisive comments after Sept. 11 than the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, yet GOP politicians still sought their endorsements. The Rev. John Hagee has made many offensive comments, yet John McCain spent a year trying to get Hagee’s endorsement. “It’s entirely true that Wright’s foolishness is a bigger deal because of his long-standing relationship with Obama,” Dionne wrote. Still, he said, “the question is whether we will be just as tough on false prophets who happen to be white and right-wing.”

    Absolutely. It’s a huge double standard because lets face it, white racism is still alive and well, and they are scared to death that blacks are going to be equally powerful someday.

    Lets talk frankly about what they’re really afraid of- that someone is going to treat them as badly as they’ve treated blacks….from housing discrimination to job discrimination.

    I’ve heard one person even complain that he fought for black rights…until he was rejected for a job years ago to affirmative action. Well, gee. You lost ONE job, and yet, how many jobs did that black guy get passed up for?

    LOL only in Politics can it be that some would not vote for a candidate that is not openly religious. Yet other will not vote for someone because they are known to have attended the same church for twenty years!
    This dead horse is being beaten so much we are going from tenderizing the meat to trying for bone meal!
    Can I let you in on a little secret? I hear that Hillary once sat and watched a speech made by Hitler! OMG does that mean she agree with what he said? AND-AND John Mc Cain back in the seventies spend some time with people that were… Wait… Wait… Communists!

    You know perhaps there is a closer tie to the Weathermen than Obama will admit! I bet it could have came in handy to have an eight y.o. to get those bombs into the tight spaces! And Hillary, well she is tied to those Arkansans and us Kansans know what their like! Mc Cain could have meant to be shot down! How else could he explained having a black child? And this is just shocking! It is rumored that all three have had SEX! What you think the children were adopted?

    Yeah forget about the times, Post and Eagle…. I get all my news from the most reliable source in print media… THE ENQUIRER! Informed people want to know, not much in reality but they still want to know!

    If McCain had been attending a church regularly for 20 years that was led by a person making racist, incendiary sermons, it would be a big deal. He would surely not be a viable candidate for the presidency. The double standard, if there is one, is that Obama is still a legitimate contender despite this association.

    Obama is not responsible for everything any black preacher anywhere says, nor is McCain responsible for everything any white preacher anywhere says. Obama isn’t really responsible for what Mr. Wright, specifically, says, but the fact that they had a close relationship for so many years does reflect on his judgment.

    There is no double standard with respect to Wright.

    Two days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Jerry Falwell, appearing on Pat Robertson’s “700 Club,” declared: “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’ “

    Good morning Phillip!

    Another thread apologizing for, rationalizing for, struggling to explain away a poor bitter left-wing nut of a preacher!

    First of all comparing the stupid remarks of Jerry Falwell to the hateful, racist, anti American remarks of the good Rev Wright is a little disingenuous. Falwell is hardly as far to the right as Wright is to the left.

    Then to answer the question, “What if Wright were white and right wing?” Simple! The Washington Post would have been criticizing him for the last twenty years with story after sorry story just like they have been covering Falwell.

    Wright is more than a harmless liberal preacher. He’s a proponent of black liberation philosophy. His hateful ministry deserves to be examined without being justified with comparison to stupid white men.

    In fact, by his own account, Mr. McCain sought out Mr. Hagee, who is perhaps best known for trying to drum up a pre-emptive “holy war” with Iran. (This preacher’s rantings may tell us more about Mr. McCain’s policy views than Mr. Wright’s tell us about Mr. Obama’s.)

    Even after Mr. Hagee’s Catholic bashing bubbled up in the mainstream media, Mr. McCain still did not reject and denounce him, as Mr. Obama did an unsolicited endorser, Louis Farrakhan, at the urging of Tim Russert and Hillary Clinton.

    Mr. McCain instead told George Stephanopoulos two Sundays ago that while he condemns any “anti-anything” remarks by Mr. Hagee, he is still “glad to have his endorsement.”

    Rev. John Hagee, lecturing in front of an enormous diorama. Wielding a pointer, he pokes at the image of a woman with Pamela Anderson-sized breasts, her hand raising a golden chalice. The woman is “the Great Whore,” Mr. Hagee explains, and she is drinking “the blood of the Jewish people.” That’s because the Great Whore represents “the Roman Church,” which, in his view, has thirsted for Jewish blood throughout history, from the Crusades to the Holocaust.

    Since then, Mr. McCain has been shocked to learn that his clerical ally has made many other outrageous statements. Mr. Hagee, it’s true, did not blame the American government for concocting AIDS. But he did say that God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its sins, particularly a scheduled “homosexual parade there on the Monday that Katrina came.”

    Tom Friedman in today’s NYT:

    …Much nonsense has been written about how Hillary Clinton is “toughening up” Barack Obama so he’ll be tough enough to withstand Republican attacks. Sorry, we don’t need a president who is tough enough to withstand the lies of his opponents. We need a president who is tough enough to tell the truth to the American people. Any one of the candidates can answer the Red Phone at 3 a.m. in the White House bedroom. I’m voting for the one who can talk straight to the American people on national TV — at 8 p.m. — from the White House East Room.

    Who will tell the people? We are not who we think we are. We are living on borrowed time and borrowed dimes. We still have all the potential for greatness, but only if we get back to work on our country.

    I don’t know if Barack Obama can lead that, but the notion that the idealism he has inspired in so many young people doesn’t matter is dead wrong. “Of course, hope alone is not enough,” says Tim Shriver, chairman of Special Olympics, “but it’s not trivial. It’s not trivial to inspire people to want to get up and do something with someone else.”

    It is especially not trivial now, because millions of Americans are dying to be enlisted — enlisted to fix education, enlisted to research renewable energy, enlisted to repair our infrastructure, enlisted to help others. Look at the kids lining up to join Teach for America. They want our country to matter again. They want it to be about building wealth and dignity — big profits and big purposes. When we just do one, we are less than the sum of our parts. When we do both, said Shriver, “no one can touch us.”

    You are right, Republicans are probably 95% racist….

    In the 21st century, the so-called party of Lincoln does not have a single African-American among its collective 247 senators and representatives in Washington. Yes, there are appointees like Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice, but, as we learned during the Mark Foley scandal, even gay men may hold more G.O.P. positions of power than blacks.

    A near half-century after the civil rights acts of the 1960s, this is quite an achievement. Yet the holier-than-thou politicians and pundits on the right passing shrill moral judgment over every Democratic racial skirmish are almost never asked to confront or even acknowledge the racial dysfunction in their own house.

    In our mainstream political culture, this de facto apartheid is simply accepted as an intractable given, unworthy of notice, and just too embarrassing to mention aloud in polite Beltway company. Those who dare are instantly accused of “political correctness” or “reverse racism.”

    An all-white Congressional delegation doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the legacy of race cards that have been dealt since the birth of the Southern strategy in the Nixon era.

    No one knows this better than Mr. McCain, whose own adopted daughter of color was the subject of a vicious smear in his party’s South Carolina primary of 2000.

    Hell, my Dad attended the same church for 30 years and half the time was spent debating issues of theology, morality, politics, barbecue recipes…everything. You may go to church for answers. Some people join a church for the questions.

    And the thing is, most people join a church, not a pastor. (Albeit, a lot of those mega-church evangelical salvation shopping malls often embrace cult-of-personality trappings about “Bagwan Brother Billy Sol Kindheart.”)

    For most people church is the people, the fellowship, the reason they show up on Sundays and tithe and sing with the choir.

    I gotta say that the odds are ginormous that Wright’s comments will seem merely annoyingly trivial when compared by the twice-born to John Hagee’s book, “In Defense of Israel.” Surely McCain literally hunting down the approval and endorsement of a religious nutcase like Hagee is far worse than Obama’s sitting subject for 20 years to a social nutcase like Wright. At least in certain white enclaves.

    For example: Christ didn’t come to earth to become the Messiah?!? Christ refused by “deed” to claim to be the Messiah?!?

    I sure can’t claim any expertise on Christian theology, but that all sounds pretty fishy to me. I think if you’re a christian then comments like that’ll earn you some quality time in the hot place (that’s what they told me when I was ten or so, anyway).

    Obama is no more responsible for Rev. Wright than any of us. Look at what Obama has done that last several weeks. He has worked to distance himself from the fine Reverend. No one should forget, he is a politician first. Rev. Wright is going to hurt Obama because he has realized he is now on the national stage. He will use Obama to further his own personal cause.

    Obama is a politician on the national stage. If he gets slammed, don’t cry racism is the cause; he chose to get into a very vicious game. He deserves everything he is getting. If the super delegates vote against him, it’s politics, not racism. It’s all politics.

    Fallwell and Roberts are just as egotistical. Why isn’t there much fanfare when a white preacher does this? There isn’t someone standing in front of a camera screaming, “Racist.” Not everything that happens to a black man at the hands of a white man is racism. Maybe bad things happen to good people. Racism isn’t going to go away until people like Rev. Wright let it go.

    As evidenced by the puffery of the sanctimonious white Republican bigots on this thread, f course there’s a double standard. Bill Moyers puts it so perfectly that it would be redundant for me to add a word:

    **************************************************

    http://www.alternet.org/election08/84330/?page=2

    “Behold the double standard: John McCain sought out the endorsement of John Hagee, the warmongering, Catholic-bashing Texas preacher, who said the people of New Orleans got what they deserved for their sins.

    But no one suggests McCain shares Hagee’s delusions or thinks AIDS is God’s punishment for homosexuality. Pat Robertson called for the assassination of a foreign head of state and asked God to remove Supreme Court justices, yet he remains a force in the Republican religious right.

    After 9/11, Jerry Falwell said the attack was God’s judgment on America for having been driven out of our schools and the public square, but when McCain goes after the endorsement of the preacher he once condemned as an agent of intolerance, the press gives him a pass.

    Jon Stewart recently played tape from the Nixon White House in which Billy Graham talks in the Oval Office about how he has friends who are Jewish, but he knows in his heart that they are undermining America.

    This is crazy and wrong — white preachers are given leeway in politics that others aren’t.

    Which means it is all about race, isn’t it?

    Wright’s offensive opinions and inflammatory appearances are judged differently. He doesn’t fire a shot in anger, put a noose around anyone’s neck, call for insurrection, or plant a bomb in a church with children in Sunday school.

    What he does is to speak his mind in a language and style that unsettles some people, and says some things so outlandish and ill-advised that he finally leaves Obama no choice but to end their friendship.”

    *****************************************

    Watching the bigots hide behind their bigoted code language, while getting up in arms about bigotry they perceive as directed at them kind of tells you everything you need to know about the level of hypocrisy white Republicans have over race.

    Maggotpunk,

    Indeed. And what the white racists Repukes on the board want to conceal is that the U.S. Government did, in fact, without informing them or getting their consent, allow 399 black men with syphillis to go untreated for FORTY YEARS, in order to study the effects of syphillis. This was called the “Tuskegee Experiment,” Wingnuts. Read up: it’s part of America’s proud racist history.

    “By 1947 penicillin had become the standard treatment for syphilis. Prior to this discovery, syphilis frequently led to a chronic, painful and fatal multisystem disease. Rather than treat all syphilitic subjects with penicillin and close the study, or split off a control group for testing penicillin; the Tuskegee scientists withheld penicillin and information about penicillin, purely to continue to study how the disease spreads and kills. Participants were also prevented from accessing syphilis treatment programs that were available to other people in the area. The study continued until 1972, when a leak to the press resulted in its termination.”

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Study_of_Untreated_Syphilis_in_the_Negro_Male

    Or, for that matters, there was the “Cincinnati Experiments,” in which poor Cincinnatians, 2/3 of whom were African-American, were non-consensually exposed to high doses of radiation. Given Cincinnati’s racial divisions and violent legacy, there’s no doubt about a link to racism.

    http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2002/03/26/tem_book_revisits_uc.html

    Yet you racist Wingnuts act as if there’s no historical precedent for Rev. Wright’s accusations, regardless of whether they are true or false. But given your collective ignorance, hypocrisy, and bad faith, maybe the omission isn’t such a surprise.

    And as is often the case, Barbara over at Mahablog has a nice takedown of the racist hissy-fits and pearl clutching of the sort we’ve seen on this blog.

    “It’s all about fear. Righties base their political choices on what they fear. At the same time, they are drawn to what they fear; they obsess over what they fear. Because they are afraid of angry black men, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is a big deal to them. He excites them because he vindicates them.

    On the whole, the Left doesn’t react the same way to right-wing craziness. That’s partly because there’s so much of it, of course. We hear about a Republican politician associating with an extremist religious whackjob, and we think, What else is new? And news media, which has bought into the narrative that “religion” is something the Right holds a patent on, doesn’t ask questions about the religiosity of the Right. It’s only a “story” when it’s about the Left.”

    The Tuskegee Experiments happened on the Democratic Congress Party watch and mostly Democratic Party Presidents. Tuskegee Experiment was a clinical study, conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama

    “Boxlock” fantasizes –

    “…it results from the abuse a black candidate takes from his own people and the DemLib. party if he even attempts to run. And that he/she gets voted down by those same racists.”

    I think about J.C. Watts. He talked the talk and walked the walk but eventually realized he was a token pawn in the Republic Party strategy.

    However sincere he might have been with his conservative beliefs, he was trotted out as the minority spokesman of conservatism only when there was a race angle to the issue. He was called out to dance like a minstrel on cue for the quadrennial sop the GOP gives to counter its obvious institutional racism.

    Watts’ daddy once said, “A black man who’s for the Republicans is like a chicken who’s for Colonel Sanders.” His kid finally got the message. And retired from Congress.

    White pastors get ten times the tromping from anti-social comments. It’s just now starting to affect balck pastors, too.

    Sure, it’s not Obama’s fault that Wright is a racist nut but he should have distanced himself earlier instead of making the idiotic comment that he couldn’t disown him.

    He may live to regret his “audacity.” ha

    On the other hand, McCain may be seeking endorsements from some who have made crappy comments but McCain has been VERY quick to denounce such comments.

    “On the other hand, McCain may be seeking endorsements from some who have made crappy comments but McCain has been VERY quick to denounce such comments.”

    Not true obviously:

    In fact, by his own account, Mr. McCain sought out Mr. Hagee, who is perhaps best known for trying to drum up a pre-emptive “holy war” with Iran. (This preacher’s rantings may tell us more about Mr. McCain’s policy views than Mr. Wright’s tell us about Mr. Obama’s.)

    Even after Mr. Hagee’s Catholic bashing bubbled up in the mainstream media, Mr. McCain still did not reject and denounce him, as Mr. Obama did an unsolicited endorser, Louis Farrakhan, at the urging of Tim Russert and Hillary Clinton.

    Mr. McCain instead told George Stephanopoulos two Sundays ago that while he condemns any “anti-anything” remarks by Mr. Hagee, he is still “glad to have his endorsement.”

    There aren’t any videos of McCain’s church but there are plenty of videos of Bush’s buddies like Robertson and Falwell, matter of fact Bush has loaded down the Judicial branch and Executive branch with strong evangelical based graduates.

    SPIN SPIN SPIN. How easy it is to spin. The favorite spin of the fundies is this 20 year thing. OK, I will play along. That would make Obama 26 years old when he showed the so called “poor judgment” of beginning a association with Wright. Now we have someone in their 70s, supposedly older and wiser being associated with another controversial religious figure. You see how easy it was to spin. Don’t tell me, let me guess, we need to wait 20 years first. Now why don’t we stay on topic and you tell me how Hagee is acceptable and Wright is unacceptable. No spin about 20 years. How is Hagee acceptable if Wright is not. Remember, ONE STANDARD, not a double standard.

    Chas, just read the posts on this blog for your answer.
    Responsibility:
    You may not compel another’s labor, or steal from it.
    The redistribution of wealth, affirmative action, excessive welfare at a cost to someone else = stealing! The DemLibs advocate it.
    Defense:
    The denial of one’s right to same = the continual attempt at restrictive gun laws. DemLibs advocate it.
    Defense of others, violation of the defense of the innocent and helpless = abortion. The DemLibs advocate it.
    Self-sufficiency:
    Responsibility for yourself (thoughts, actions, being, one’s own welfare, not coveting others things and labors = not stealing and coveting. The DemLibs advocate it.
    All these negative aspects presented have repeatedly been advocated by the DemLibs over and over, who then claim anyone not agreeing is selfish and evil. Worse yet they make these things apart of their political platform to buy votes from those who are duped into thinking they will be getting something FREE or gaining freedom.

    Chas, it’s spring outside, in case you hadn’t noticed, oh…excuse me, let me use a term from the DemLib bible, the ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’ is increasing rapidly, and I’ve got better things to do than ‘play’ in here.
    I would like to respect you, or anyone, when requested to respond to what I post, but to tell you the truth I’m starting to feel like I am playing in the dirt with some of these folks, and it’s making me feel dirty. I don’t like that, and no one is going to ‘enlighten’ or change anyone’s mind anyway, so the only entertainment is negatively attaching others and that’s dirty.

    You go check it out. Like I said though, you won’t change me and I realize I won’t change you if you don’t want to be.
    A snake is just always going to be a snake when it comes to the worst of the DemLibs.
    I don’t think much of the concept of eternal predestination but the DemLibs make for a pretty good argument that some people are just inherently evil and always will be.
    Now that ought to get a rise going…see, I can’t help it, it’s just to much fun, and so predictable, how the DemLibs respond. Watch. Like very simple but repulsive organisms.

Thats fine… Just say it that way… I prefer to have some kind of proof to take any body seriously that chooses to make the kind of accusatory statements you have made here, and not to mention that you didnt even bother to answer my two direct challenges… Have a nice evening, Boxlock… BTW, you might check out the Wisconsin Synod… They are much more conservative than the MO Synod… Oh, and there would also be the Association of Free Lutherans… more conservative yet… :-)

    ” They don’t believe blacks can make it without their enslaving entitlement packages camouflaged as affirmative action, welfare, etc.

    Republicans are equal opportunity assholes.

    They demand EVERYONE suck up to some exploiter for their sustenance. The prime reason for this is that at their base they ARE the exploiters.

    “Do not steal”

    This is misinterpreted. Scolars believe the original meaning here was far less solid.

    For instance, a hungry person would not be sinning or breaking God’s laws if he went into another man’s field and ate his crops. This was not considered stealing.

    What a crock of stink….he would be put to death.
    The reference, I think, Chas refers to in Ruth doesn’t give permission to steal. Here what Ruth Chapter 2 basically says;
    Naomi and Ruth return to Bethlehem at barley harvest time. They’re flat broke. Ruth goes to glean in the fields, collecting the grain left behind by the harvesters. (Leviticus, Chapter 19, orders farmers to leave gleanings for the poor. This is one of many examples of Ruth showing us Bible laws in practice.) Ruth doesn’t yet know it, but she happens to glean the field of Boaz, a relative of Naomi’s dead husband Elimelech. (Like all good love stories, Ruth begins with a case of confused identity.) Boaz shows up in the field and hears that Naomi’s daughter-in-law has been gleaning. He immediately invites her to drink his water and glean from all his fields. He calls her “daughter”—another brilliant plot device since it distracts us from the idea that they could ever marry. She asks why he’s being so kind to a stranger, and he says he heard how good she was to his kinswoman Naomi. He invites her to eat and drink with him and quietly orders his workers to leave extra stalks so she can glean more.
    She is given permission, get it permission. And they are only to take the gleanings, that which is left AFTER the harvest.
    Guys, are you that ignorant of this stuff, please get a guide and read it for yourself.
    JR, quit trying to shape the world and scripture into what you want it to say to give you permission to live off others. It ain’t gone’a happen.

    Boxlock, the growers are committed by LAW to permit the poor to glean in the fields… AND they are committed by LAW to leave some of their crop behind for the gleaners…

    So, essentially what Blue Jay says is true… but you insist on putting a spin on it that isnt in the Text…

    And she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

    Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May the Lord be with you.” And they said to him, “May the Lord bless you.”

    Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”

    And the servant in charge of the reapers answered and said, “She is the young Moabite woman who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab. And she said, “Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ Thus she came and has remained from the morning until now; she has been sitting in the house for a little while.”

    Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen care-fully, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but stay here with my maids. Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Indeed, I have commanded the servants not to touch

    you. When you are thirsty, go to the water jars and drink from what the servants draw.”

    They were to leave what was left after the harvest, there was never permission to steal. They could not go into another man’s field and eat his crops, only what was left.

    Bush hails grads in Kansas town recovering from tornado
    By BEN FELLER, Associated Press Writer Sun May 4, 5:32 PM ET

    Bush told the students Sunday that they had learned a hard lesson of perseverance.
    “The lessons that you have learned in this town will give you the strength to rise above any obstacle in your path,” Bush said. “You have seen life at its most difficult. You have emerged stronger from it.”
    Bush personally handed a diploma to each graduate.

    Listen, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you, is it not they who drag you into court? Is it not they who blaspheme the honorable name which was invoked over you?

    James 2:14-17:

    What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but hs not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

    The Tuskegee Experiments happened on the Democratic Congress Party watch and mostly Democratic Party Presidents. Tuskegee Experiment was a clinical study, conducted between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee, Alabama

    Ok, point of order Wright has not been saying it was Republican or Democrat he said the U.S. Government.
    This pretty much does show at least in the past he is correct in his assertion, also taking into account the action of individuals acting under the colors of the Government. Such as the distribution of Small pox laden
    blankets to the Indians. The other day a Senator from Florida said on the floor that the EPA did a study on the effect of pesticides on toddlers. That their test subjects were the poor, minorities of Florida until it was discovered and stopped. He is pushing from a Senate investigate into the matter.

    Racism does not have a party affiliation for that matter, it is not limited to the rich or poor, to one color or another. You can be a racist and have never said the “N” word. And to the matter, as I said about Paul a few days ago. It goes for those being accused of racism above, it is I would suspect it is not about the color of skin. More the party affiliation that is the issue for them, race is just the current issue of the day.

    Oh Chas,
    2nd. Thessalonians 3:10 “”If a man will not work, let him not eat.”"

    And if you really hate work, you and BlueJay, I strongly urge you, in the name of Christ, to learn to love it and to thank God for the work he has given you. In 2 Thessalonians 3:10 it says, “If a man will not work, let him not eat.”

    The gift of food alone, whether or not limited to an established minimum, can lead only to an endless dependence on governmental charity—in which case charity becomes no more than a subtle form of oppression. If a man continues long in direct and absolute dependence on the government for the necessities of life, he ceases to be a citizen and becomes a slave.

    Holocaust Remembrance Day >>>>

    “It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death
    camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even
    made to bury the dead.

    He did this because he said in words to this effect: ‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere
    down the track of history some b*stard will get up and say that this never happened’”

    P_Mamma posts,
    “You are SO full of spit Box. Do you have any idea how many millions of people were on welfare at one time and pulled themself out?”

    Very few that weren’t forced off. Remember ‘welfare reform’? It was mandated and millions had to get off, did get off, and now hopefully have a little self-respect. And, are hopefully doing much better too.

    “Full of spit”, I am tonight, aren’t I? I had a good day and I’m having a good evening teaching the DemLibs a lesson here and there. And if they aren’t learning at least I’m showing themselves to be wrong “98.7% of the time”. Isn’t that how that saying goes.
    Like Chas quoting me first;
    “Why don’t you also site those passages that in effect tell you that if you don’t work….you don’t eat.” and then him saying;
    “Cause there arent any!! Not in that context…”
    Isn’t Chas a ‘minister’, well what about 2nd. Thessalonians 3:10 “”If a man will not work, let him not eat.””
    If you mean that kind of spit, yes I am a little ‘full of it’. Too full probably.
    But to anyone I offend…I am sorry. And I truly mean it when I say that.

    Isaiah 2:11
    “The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day”

    And, Proverbs 16:18
    “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”

    I have strong feelings on conservative/liberal issues, believing that man/woman can’t prosper when they have no self-respect. And, entitlements and hand-outs rob them of self-respect.
    P_Mom, I don’t want anybody to ‘hurt’, and I’m willing to help and help my fair share or more. But I have little compassion for freeloaders and do not want to ‘help’ or further contribute to their own destruction by enabling them.
    Hope you can understand.
    Good night, have a good rest, maybe we can ‘fight’ tomorrow again.

    One more before I go.
    These are so very good, we can all benefit from reading them. Wonder what this blog would look like if we could live them….uh?

    Proverbs 16 (New International Version)
    New International Version (NIV)

    Proverbs 16

    1 To man belong the plans of the heart,
    but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.

    2 All a man’s ways seem innocent to him,
    but motives are weighed by the LORD.

    3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
    and your plans will succeed.

    4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends—
    even the wicked for a day of disaster.

    5 The LORD detests all the proud of heart.
    Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.

    6 Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
    through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.

    7 When a man’s ways are pleasing to the LORD,
    he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

    8 Better a little with righteousness
    than much gain with injustice.

    9 In his heart a man plans his course,
    but the LORD determines his steps.

    10 The lips of a king speak as an oracle,
    and his mouth should not betray justice.

    11 Honest scales and balances are from the LORD;
    all the weights in the bag are of his making.

    12 Kings detest wrongdoing,
    for a throne is established through righteousness.

    13 Kings take pleasure in honest lips;
    they value a man who speaks the truth.

    14 A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,
    but a wise man will appease it.

    15 When a king’s face brightens, it means life;
    his favor is like a rain cloud in spring.

    16 How much better to get wisdom than gold,
    to choose understanding rather than silver!

    17 The highway of the upright avoids evil;
    he who guards his way guards his life.

    18 Pride goes before destruction,
    a haughty spirit before a fall.

    19 Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed
    than to share plunder with the proud.

    20 Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,
    and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.

    21 The wise in heart are called discerning,
    and pleasant words promote instruction. [a]

    22 Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it,
    but folly brings punishment to fools.

    23 A wise man’s heart guides his mouth,
    and his lips promote instruction. [b]

    24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
    sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

    25 There is a way that seems right to a man,
    but in the end it leads to death.

    26 The laborer’s appetite works for him;
    his hunger drives him on.

    27 A scoundrel plots evil,
    and his speech is like a scorching fire.

    28 A perverse man stirs up dissension,
    and a gossip separates close friends.

    29 A violent man entices his neighbor
    and leads him down a path that is not good.

    30 He who winks with his eye is plotting perversity;
    he who purses his lips is bent on evil.

    31 Gray hair is a crown of splendor;
    it is attained by a righteous life.

    32 Better a patient man than a warrior,
    a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.

    33 The lot is cast into the lap,
    but its every decision is from the LORD.

    Box — IF you put that into its appropriate context, those who were living in idleness… and not working, were doing so, because they believed it was not necessary, because of the Imminent Coming of Christ…. It wasd a religious argument… not a welfare system, or a social condition… It was a problem within the CHURCH….

    Chas,
    I’m not ‘cherry picking verses, here’s the whole Chapter. Read in context.

    The Book of 2nd Thessalonians, Chapter 3

    1.
    Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
    2

    And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
    3

    But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from 1evil.a
    1 Matt 5:37, Matt 6:13, Matt 13:19, Matt 13:38, John 17:15, 1st John 2:13, 1st John 3:12, 1st John 5:18
    4

    And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
    5

    And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
    6

    Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
    7

    For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
    8

    Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
    9

    Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
    10

    For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
    11

    For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
    12

    Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
    13

    But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
    14

    And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
    15

    Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
    16

    Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
    17

    The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
    18

    The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

    Box — Ummm I know what it says… I have it right in front of me… You arent catching the Context…. They werent WORKING because they were sure Jesus was about to appear… They didnt think work was necessary… I hardly think that applies to those today who are homeless, or what you call “freeloaders” So, dont use some Church Problem from the First Century to try to establish your “social principles” beliefs of the 21st Century… It doesnt work that way!! Get me???

  221. Posted May 4, 2008 at 11:21 pm | Permalink

    In other words, Box, take the II Thessalonians text, and apply it to some group that goes up to the mountain tops of Montana, to wait for the 2nd Coming… or to the Heaven’s Gate Cult group… Any of those kind of groups who huddle off together somewhere, dont work, an just hang out waiting for the Final Great Lightning Bolt from the Sky… And Jesus riding down on the clouds…

    THOSE were the ones in Thessalonica who refused to work along with the rest of them… Paul, rightly, tells them to work along with the rest of those hoping in good faith for the Coming of Christ (Cf. Chap. 2)

    Chas,
    For Pete’s Sake, pardon my usage of that here, but I UNDERSTAND THAT IN IT’S CORRECT CONTEXT!!! Always have….I think, unless of course I don’t. That’s an attempt at humor.
    I do/have always understood they thought Jesus return was imminent, but none the less he still told them to get to work or don’t eat.
    I think Jesus is returning too, sooner than I think because of my mortal death if not his return during my life but I still have to work or I don’t eat, and my family doesn’t eat.
    That’s all I’m saying.
    But I thank you for trying to clarify the context, not because I’m not aware, but you actually seemed to be interested in my correct understanding and not trying to win a point. Hope I’m not wrong.

    See, JR doesn’t deny trying to defraud the Union health care. I asked him once before and he said, “yeah, that’s right.”

    Just thought I’d let everyone know who they were dealing with – an insurance scammer.

    Junior is probably one of those scammers cops talk about, who cruise Quicktrips, speed up when someone backs out and claim major injury on a two mile an hour collision.

    They are investigating that pickup truck incident you know J R and are finding some very interesting things out.

    See, J R just won’t out and out deny he tried to scam the Union insurance and then ran away before he got caught by the law. Which didn’t help of course. (chortle)

    It’s been real, but hasn’t been fun.

    I’m off to the showers and then bed.

    “See, JR doesn’t deny trying to defraud the Union health care. I asked him once before and he said, “yeah, that’s right.”

    I don’t even know what you are imagining.

    Go get the post.

    See, J R won’t deny it and won’t find it in a post, because I know people and people know JR. Longtime scammer he is and a suspect of the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department – along with some ticked off Union reps who took the word of his dad’s friends to give him a job and then got scammed.

    Man, what a low life.

    “See, J R won’t deny it and won’t find it in a post”

    The allegation is yours guy.

    That makes it incumbent on you to prove it.

    The whole blog knows you are….troubled.

    If you say you have read posts about or from me as you claim, they may be only in your neurological medication.

    Unless of course you can find and re post them here.

    I’ve waited a long time for the kill.

    You did it to yourself.

    “See, J R won’t deny it and won’t find it in a post, because I know people and people know JR. Longtime scammer he is and a suspect of the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department – along with some ticked off Union reps who took the word of his dad’s friends to give him a job and then got scammed.

    Prove ANY of this.

    And you are off to shower? Sheesh alert the media.

    Not a common thing from what I see.

    I busted ya James. You and all your nics.

    You and them will never be credible here again.

    See, he won’t deny it, just says prove it.

    Busted me for being some one I’m not.

    Yeah…

    What a maroon.

    I have to deny allegations you invent?

    Here is where James McCluer finally melts down.

    ” because I know people and people know JR. Longtime scammer he is and a suspect of the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department – along with some ticked off Union reps who took the word of his dad’s friends to give him a job and then got scammed.”

    James you don’t even know my name.

    You KNOW and in maybe weird ways, your sister. You may have met the postman.

    Otherwise? You don’t get out much.

    Well, not without your meds anyway.

    I guess they take you places. You CAN bring that here. But you will need to being more than your own delirium.

    I am home late. I am not sure what to think about this thread.

    I am hard pressed to see how making up stuff about other posters is useful at all.

    And with that thought I am going to bed.

    James posts this crap >>>>

    James, I think if you choose to put something like this on the Blog, you should have the audacity to at least show proof… You know, that thing about bearing false witness against somebody??

    So, if you cant prove any of this stupid crap that you post almost daily, then I would humbly suggest that you STOP IT!!

    Boy, the maturity level drops through the floor around here at night.

    Dear Editors:
    Get rid of Blue Jay and Regular. The blog would be a much better place without those 2.

    What’s to say you are not another of “Regular”s nics Nano?

    I don’t think there is any shortage of folks would like “Regular” gone.
