Carbon Copies

Isn’t it refreshing that we have a President who listens to dictatorial world
leaders and follows their fine example of governance? Isn’t it wonderful that
our fine leader wants to keep open a dialog to all radical Marxist regimes?
I guess in order to get along you must look like and sound like them. So
instead of copying our own founding fathers Obama choices a to flock
with birds of a  different feather.

Obama Cuts Military Spending while Domestic Spending Soars

Allen Frederick 2 Comments

Once again “Barry” signs legislation designed to make us less safe citing “wasteful spending”. Isn’t that like the pot calling the kettle black? This logic coming from the President who is singlehandedly bankrupting our nation. Why doesn’t he and the rest of those capital hill socialists cut some of the PORK out of their recent PORKULUS bill? And while they are about BUDGET cuts why not SCRAPE the recent 900+ page cap and trade bill they are trying to push on American business.

This would be laughable if it were not so serious.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill aimed at tightening the controls on defense spending, saying it is “long overdue.”
Obama noted one study which found that roughly $295 billion of taxpayers’ money was wasted last year on cost overruns involving 95 defense programs.
He said wasteful defense spending “is unacceptable” at a time when the country is fighting two wars and trying to overcome a deep recession at home.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. Karl Marx

I have to wonder lately if I have been transported to another country. In the past several weeks I have watched as more and more of our economy is being centralized in Washington and more government controls are being placed on private business. And then to top it all off we hear from one of the Presidential candidates talking about spreading the wealth around. Taking from some and giving to others as the government sees fit. I do not know about you but this sounds to me like socialism.The bible teaches us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. It stops short of compulsive means to collect charitable contributions.

Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You shouldn’t be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver. 8 Besides, God will give you his constantly overflowing kindness. Then, when you always have everything you need, you can do more and more good things. 9 Scripture says, “The righteous person gives freely to the poor. His righteousness continues forever.” 10 God gives seed to the farmer and food to those who need to eat. God will also give you seed and multiply it. In your lives he will increase the things you do that have his approval. 11 God will make you rich enough so that you can always be generous. 2 Corinthians 9:7-11a (GW)

A person under the influence of God will give far above his means to others in need, willingly. However if you take away the influence of God in a persons life, or a society then you are also taking away that willingness to give generously. For many decades this nation has prospered and given FAR MORE than any other nation in the world because of the many God influenced people who live here.

Marxism teaches to take from each person and give it to others. The Lord says that we should freely give to one another and not be forced to do so. It should be an act of charity not a rote of law. But in a society which is quickly abandoning God at every turn it is no surprise that government mandates are taking the place of Spiritual conscience. When you take God out of the nation that same nation can not reap the benefits of a society with the blessings of God upon it. Because it has removed the very foundation upon which those blessings flow- from the heart of a child of God that nation has also removed the very means by which it would receive a blessing.

A Christian nation is a blessed nation, a godless nation is not. Choose you this day whom you will serve. I personally much prefer doing things Gods way. What say you?
