The Cattle's Cry, "What can anyone do"? Yes the pastures are barren and there are no more jobs, benefits, costs rising, people not credit worthy, etc, etc, etc and they talk as if they have the solution, to get this, the problems they created? Are they for real and are you who listen to them, believe in them, trust them, why?
Ok, I ask the question many times because it still isn't a matter of nice guy, or looks, or speech, or race, or serving in the military, no, not hope or being positive, it is a matter of doing. You see they say all the right things, I just don't see it in what they do or don't do. Do they eman well, I suspect in their perspective but where the tire meets the road it isn't working. Example, Mr. Obama speaking to a well known large church group stated "moral problems, such as war, poverty, joblessness, homelessness, violent streets and crumbling schools", etc. are the governments duty to address". I suspect he means fix? Rhetorically, one can agree but where sir have you, when we have usury, breaking of the law condoned, unfair trade, exploitation and all under your watch and the others in Congress. Have you all done something as our representatives in Congress to address and fix this? Just where and when, other then to allow, create or be the cause of our ills and not the solution? Opinion, yes, certainly but based on works. Nothing personal at all just what you have done or failed to do.
Correct me please, I'm open for it. Rhetorically, just how do you all condone it when the opposite is all about you? The only conclusion one can come to is you don't give a damn or you just don't know how to. Oh like one reader says we should be positive. You see as Mr. Obama also says, have faith. Well even Jesus had to perform to sway the crowds, fact. Hey there is more positive in waking up each day to meet life's challenges then many even realize or acknowledge. You first must recognize and acknowledge the problems before you can fix them and take positive action. If your only action is ignoring and hope, well forget it. Was Jesus negative or positive in His teachings, stories, or analogies? Well I am not God so bear with my inadequacies in writing to the problems but I think Jeus presented them all quite well to the professed believer.
So, still confused, well here is another hint or sign for you, not a negative, just reality, fact, truth. Paint it how you like it won't change. While you were filling up the car have you noticed the little sign on the pump, this may contain up to 10% Ethanol? Yes they have slowly been phasing it into the gas stream and now it has even reached those premium distributors who like to brag about the quality of their gas. Yes what they haven't told the vast majority of people is and as it has been reported in the major press and media, that Ethanol does not do well in many cars. In fact it wasn't meant for many cars to use. Yet who cares, right? If you want gas you must buy it, got ya! "What can anyone do"?
Now it doesn't matter that your gas mileage will most likely go down, meaning more trips to the pump and bigger profits for the oil companies, should it matter at all? Yes according to recent studies gas consumption goes up in cars that should not be using Ethanol. Is that helping the economy? Well certainly when they report sales it does but what about the other aspects, like in your wallet? They also do not care about the possible internal damage to your engine. What is that you say? Well it is performance, hesitation, stalling and just plain damage to parts and components. Hey more repairs means more dollars for these dealers and it is good for the economy. Rhetorically, it may also, that is for the have types, force you into that new Hybrid a lot sooner. As for you average Americans, well frankly, who gives a damn? "What can anyone do"?
So just one minor point in the thousands of major points. You see if you listen, observe, look, investigate you will find out what "our" leaders do and why, or sadly don';t do. So for all of you "hoping" types, placing your faith in these two parties to do something about our nation and your woe, well my friends read between the lines, listen, observe who gets the help, what action is taken for who and more importantly, what isn't.
Now the press is reporting new buyers will improve the housing problem. Well what new buyers, just who are they? Many young people are not credit worthy. I'll tell you first hand that we once were, signed so my child could get into a home he purchased because he was laid off the week of closing, even though he had asked his professed Christian boss beforehand if his job was secure so that he didn't lose his down payment, so we signed for the second home. For profit, my a__, for love. Yet one might ask again, just who are these new Credit Worthy first time buyers they allude to that have the money, the credit and the means to plop down that 20%. Well frankly no one says who they are? Do you know? Yes, the answer is right before you if you care to look. Yet it most likely isn't that low paid, average American young family barely making a living trying to survive. Talk about positive, talk about that. "What can anyone do"?
You see while they talk what you want to hear in my opinion and by reality they do not deliver what you want to get. Can they do it right now, most certainly. Will they do it now, no. In my opinion and by their record they will never do it. Why, it just doesn't fit into their agenda. Get it, their agenda, not yours. Now I did not say they would do nothing, remember, I did ask for who?
Now they talk patriotism, America and they do throw out all the buzz words. No problem witht that expression. They even talk from the pulpit, yes, but dare not a preacher talk out. I'll use their own words not mine as Obama stated, "not just a love of America in the abstract, but a very particular love for and faith in one another as Americans." Ok my friends where, when, how is that demonstrated? Where is the love, where,c an you assist me with that question, where? That is at the root of it all. if you "love" me as an American why is what is happening being allowed, why? One and one isn't two.
Is love helping those who are facing foreclosure or just the responsible, credit worthy types? Do you really believe that when the words sound loud and clear "Credit Worthy", "Responsible", do you? Can you say these millions they supposedly will help will all of a sudden become "Credit Worthy" or are they the ones who are and have? So just who are they talking about helping with their love? When Obama says "we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm" , whose children is he talking about? Many are worried if they can tuck them in anywhere. So just waht is it Mr. Obama? Yes where are you and Senator McCain on these issues? Oh, I forgot McCain is in Mexico and South America learning but where are you and what are you doing NOW about all this, not later? Oh, these are "Comprehensive problems", complex, no Mr. Obama they are problems of honesty, integrity, values, greed, exploitation and all the very worse that people can produce and yes, you and many in Congress in my opinion are the fabricators of it all, the accomplices. "Hey, not me them, right"? Yes and how about Senator McCain " to love ones country is to love ones countrymen". Is he talking illegal immigrants because frankly I do not see love for me and mine in his or any of their actions, do you? Yes except those of you counting your dividends. That to you is evidently love? Yes let them come and debate any logical, person and they have no answers, none at all.
They use the term love in my opinion as if it were an empty shell to be tossed as seen fit. Love yes is one of the deepest and truest emotions a human can have. Does love hurt, use, abuse, exploit, take? Does it allow it to be? Well what do we have in our society today? No love is not a cliché to be tossed about. So where is their love of neighbor in their works and deeds?Hey I just don't include them I include all who lead, have, own. Where is the love they profess at church, to others with their mouth?
Well frankly in my opinion it just isn't there. You can sit behind your guarded gate. Talk about "those" types and people but like that man who thought he had insurance and then found out he had nothing and lost everything I hope you to do not wind up like him. Love encompasses mercy, compassion, understanding, help, where is it my friends, real help for all? No answer.
So it just struck me, the fool I am, because not many, ok some, but the majority are not interested. It is evident in the churches that allow them to speak and not challenge them. Church, love, where? Yes upset, well you should be for in my opinion it shows just who you are as well. Yes you shall know them by their works, what they have done and what they have failed to do. So in my opinion run as fast as you can from it my friends but you know something you can't run fast or hard enough from He who knows. In my opinion and probably be definition, if you do nothing against a wrong then you are no more then an accomplice.
In my opinion and in the opinion of many people the answers to all these problems and for the benefit of everyone, yes even for these money merchants of deceit and greed is all wrapped up in love. Yes, real caring action can be taken NOW and we do not have to wait. Yes and in their very soul, their very being they know I am right.
What, get a hold on Credit Card usury and strangulation. Eliminate Credit reporting as it now is, provide refinance for people to get from under. Isn't it more cost effective to all to do that? Your damn right it is and they know it. Oh, can't get involved in business but you can when it comes to church, right or bailouts? Yes don't come wrapped in a flag, so did Benedict Arnold. I'm interested in your works. It all boils down to millions who really need help and now, not talk.
Will they do it, help now, in my opinion certainly not, but then again "What can anyone do"? I know what I'm doing about it, do you know what you're doing about it?
