The Republican Party’s Collective Bargaining Hypocrisy



I.
The republicans have agendas that they bargain for collectively.
Saw what they did for the richest Americans? Noticed they bargained collectively? Saw what they did for corporations? Noticed they bargained collectively?
And what about those oil companies, for whom the bargain and bargain collectively? And what about those insurance companies for whom the bargain and bargain – collectively?

II.
In concert, they refuse to cut taxes. Aggressively they acted collectively.
In concert, they’re insisting on cutting entitlements. Are they acting collectively?
How about their arguments on “the right to bare arms?”
How about their argument on “the right to conceal carry?”
How about their stance against gay marriages? Are they acting – collectively?

III.
They’re proposing a balance budget amendment. Isn’t this bargaining collectively?
They proposed cutting the size of government, (hypocritically), but isn’t this bargaining collectively? And they are encouraging us to stay longer in Afghanistan. Why isn’t this bargaining collectively?
IV.
The republicans are full of “it” as you can see.
They are affording themselves the same privileges
That they’re denying to you and me.
I thought I knew a solution to this problem, or at least one good strategy
Now I realize that socially-politically illiterate, fellow Americans
Will always be the biggest barrier to regaining our liberty!!!
And although the Republican Party claims to believe in the religious teaching of Christianity, note, these are immoral, un-Christian practices in which they are acting – collectively!

    I have to say I really enjoy your blog and the points you make. However I think that often times, if we want to fix the macro, we have to first work to fix the mirco. Meaning that if we want to heal society, we have to heal the family...

Republican Party and Christian Values

Dear Republicans, or “God-Fearing, church-going, law abiding, moral and ethical citizens, who diligently practice your faiths by living in accordance with the word of God,” have you read Matthews chapter 5 – lately? It would be helpful if you reflect on verse 7 ( Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.), verse 8 ( Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.), and verse 9 (Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.) Instead of aggressively trying to prosecute Secretary of State Hilary Clinton for emails she erased from her personal server, it will be helpful if you recall that the last Republican President (George W.) and his secretary of state were so fast asleep at the wheel that 9/11 occurred on American soil while they were snoring. Note: The Democrats or “the secular party” showed mercy while acting as peacemakers in the months and years that followed. In spite of the fact that during that time period George W. started a war in...

An Endangered Nation

          I love quality debates. I love debates in which two debaters, with opposite points of views, present their arguments – each clearly and concisely articulating interesting, informative, persuasive ideas, supported by cited respected research. Oh, I love the feelings of sitting and listening to the first debater, in a cool, calm, coherent manner convincing me that his side of the argument is correct. “This is good stuff!” I find myself thinking, as his presentation sways my thoughts in his favor. I am convinced that he's going to win! His argument is so good that I cannot envision him loosing the debate.      Of course, my opinion changes a few minutes later, as I sit and listen to the second debater delivering the opposing argument. His delivery, which is as thorough, thoughtful, interesting, and persuasive as the first debater’s, pulls my thinking in the opposite direction....

One "Christian Nation" Under God?

Image
  I am always amazed by the fact that although we call ourselves  “a Christian Nation”  and we boast about the fact that we have more churches in the United States than any other country in the world, the teachings of  God , the Father, and His Son,  Christ Jesus , play minor roles in the integrity and spiritual correctness of our moral decisions. For example, it does not appear that we ask ourselves questions like  “What grade would Jesus, who knows what’s honestly is in our hearts, give us for the policy decisions we’ve just made?”  " How would God feel about the Republican Party's intentional attempt to create a health care policy that is going to result in pain, suffering, and death for millions of Americas?"    “Are our policy decisions concerning entitlements, tax cuts, voter ID laws, immigration . . . in accordance with His teachings?”  “Are we conducting ourselves in compliance with the example He modeled on Earth?"  "Ar...
