Yes beware the wolf ,a warning given by God to those who profess a belief in God. Just who are these wolves God is speaking about? Well they are all about us. Of course they always come as the angel of light and Hope and yes sadly even love. They stand at the very pulpits we go to church at and they stand before all and profess many things, love of nation, beliefs and what is good for us. They sit at our tables and they shake our hands, they promise, swear oaths before God, hug us an tell us what we want to hear and all the while doing the opposite. Yes and many times they are perceived as the finest, purest and the best. This is sadly mans plight. Yet, we are warned and we have an intellect to understand and make choices. Do those choices only impact us, rarely.
Now as an average American I have written to the plight of average and the poor for sometime now on this site and others and to those who I call the have. Those who have money, wealth, power or position. Yet, as I have continually stated time after time it is not that they have that is to me what is negative. It is the deeds and the product of what they have done, or failed to do and by their own hand as leaders and no one else's, that troubles me. That is not to say the average and poor do not sin, yet the reach of that sin is more limited for the wealthy or powereful.
As example, our government has a new organization to help people in Foreclosure called Project Hope, that is if you can qualify for Hope. It was supposed to be a good intentioned thing and for those it actually helps one can presume it is. Yet, how many do get help? You see hope has to pass a credit check and have a good FICA score. Yes, one politician stated we have to help responsible people. I just wonder who are responsible, by what definition, his? Is it the one unemployed and now falls behind? Are they the irresponsible ones?
Another example, fact, not fiction as reported by ABC, why won't lenders help people in Foreclosure? After all they gave them the loan that they supposedly weren't qualified to have in the first place? The government said go to your lender and they will help. Floridians tried that with a leading insurer and got a request for a 42% increase. Strange, well not so fast if you really know "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey made famous. Like Credit Cards big Global corporate investors and giants own that debt and they are not interested in family or people, it is and always will be about the bottom line, profits. Also, when you lose they don't. Why, well first of all and as ABC stated, they are making money off of your hardship. It is the perfect situation for them. The more problems the more money.
Well some say this is ridiculous why would they want someone to default. Well as ABC reported, not this writer, then they can get even more. Yes, that's right, interest, late charges, fees and finally they can get your property and money or anything worth value. They get to write the loss off, get a tax break and if they have it insured lose nothing.
So while you are all out cheering Obama, Hillary, McCain and listening to these new leaders for change, who in my opinion and in reality are the very same bunch repackaged think about it hard. Yes, out of their mouths and by their hand the very same who gave and give you 31% interest, brought these Foreclosures upon us, farmed out our manufacturing and jobs to India and China and still support such and replaced them with the new low wage jobs and At Will Employment, the illegal worker fiasco. Sure they stand there and smile and tell you all you want to hear and you go wild. Yes, tell me more, let me hear it again. Wow, I can't wait, unbelievable.
So, they will bring back jobs, sure, what type my friend, yes what type and how much will they pay and will they stay? Maybe you ought to ask the people in New Orleans that? Where were these same, yes same "leaders" then and better yet now? If they were the great leader they profess why didn't they get what was needed done and passed then and now? Oh, it is somehow different? They will forge a new alliance? They already have that alliance and it has nothing to do with party and everything to do with ideology.
Do you really listen to what they? Now hearing and comprehending are two different things. Something they used to teach in school. If in person or on TV their body language has a lot to say as well, gesture, tone, inflection, movements. Ok, once again, do you comprehend, understand?
Yes, beware not of what they say, but what they don't. Example, when a candidate says that they will address and issue and bu8ild the fence and secure the borders and then find a solution "within the rule of law" just what does that mean? Can you say they will not re-write the existing law? Does it say they will enforce the current law? No, my friends it is what is not said that you should beware of. They said exactly what they will do, but is it what you expect? Did you read the fine print on the contract, well no, then shame on you.
So, let's see just see what you average and all Americans opposed? Do you oppose Comprehensive Immigration, how about them? How about 31% interest and higher on credit cards, did you oppose that, how about them? Let me see how about the bankruptcy bill giving creditors even more power, did you support that, how about them? Yes and how about SPP and trade deals with India and China do you support that and did they fight hard against those? What about other real hard issues like abortion and your values and beliefs? Were they and are they the leader they say they are and you want and they claim to be?
