Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

CAUTION: Anger management, politically incorrect, and pointed questions!

Can you name me one state in the United States of America where there are no multi-million dollar homes? One state. Didn’t think so. Can you name me one state where there aren’t areas of poverty or “ghetto-ism”? One state. Didn’t think so.

Okay, so I’m gonna take a bus and load it up with “average” citizens and drive it to these poorer areas and chant, “Get a job! Quit taking bail-out money! What have you done to deserve the money you’re taking from the government every month?!” Uh-huh.

What has happened to people?! There have always been the rich, and there have always been those who came by it honestly by working hard and those who’ve swindled people to get theirs. So what’s new, people?

There have always been the poor, and there will always be the poor. As long as there are government imposed or self-imposed or circumstantially imposed barriers to earning a decent living, the world will have the poor among us. This is a stated fact by none other than Jesus Christ who is able to see all things past, present, and future. “You will always have the poor among you.” His contingency plan for this was to serve the “least” of them in His name, to provide for “widows and orphans” to demonstrate true Christianity. To give from the heart of love and concern, not to pick one person’s pocket to provide for another.

People on the left have lost their minds. They want what isn’t theirs! And they want the government to take it from their neighbors and give it to them. Why?!

There is no recorded utopia in the history of the world outside the Garden of Eden, and guess what man was able to do with that? He ruined it.

So how can anyone truly believe that any government can provide solutions to sick souls who covet what other people have earned?

There will always be someone who knows more than you do. Someone who earns more than you do. Someone who is smarter than you. Someone who is more athletic than you. Someone who has access to more than you. Get used to it. And while you’re at it: grow up!

These bumper stickers came in an email. Enjoy.

“So how’s that ‘hope’ and ‘change’ working out for you?”

“Because everyone deserves some of what you’ve worked hard for.”

“Keep the Change: I’ll keep my freedom, my guns, and my money!”

“DANGER—You are entering a NO OBAMA zone. Mention his name and I’ll drop you where you stand!”

“Don’t spread my wealth . . . spread my work ethic!”

“Annoy a Liberal: Use Facts and Logic!”

“I will give your President the same respect you gave mine.” (Amen to this one.)

“Warning! I’m a bitter Christian clinging to my gun!”

“How will Democrats stand up to terrorists when they can’t even face Fox News?”

“You can’t blame Bush anymore!”

“Look out taxpayers: Obama thinks you’re rich.”

“You think healthcare is expensive now? Wait ‘til it’s ‘FREE’!”

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.”
Margaret Thatcher

God help us all. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    LOVE the bumper stickers.
    But Nicole (playing devils advocate), everyone who is poor is there because rich (mostly white) men have been oppressing us all for centuries. They have rewritten history to their advantage, to make themselves look good, to sustain their own power. Now, we must reconsider history, rewrite it to correct the gross biases, and look to the state to rebalance the power so that the oppressed finally have equal footing, i.e., have equal opportunities in the pursuit of happiness. (The rights to life and liberty are secondary, by the way.)
    Besides, Nicole, humans are evolving. We are continually unlocking the secrets of science, growing in our wisdom of god (as we all explore those different paths up the mountain). At this point in history, humans finally have the knowledge and insight we need to eradicate poverty, suffering, war, etc. It’s just, if it weren’t for you conservatives (mostly Christian, by the way) who are stuck in the dark ages, clinging to old modes of thought, which have been disproven by study, observation, and science. YOU are refusing to grow. YOU are keeping the human race from realizing its current potential. YOU are refusing to unite in peace. Poverty, suffering, and war–all of these things exist BECAUSE OF YOU.

    Hmmm. That leftist line of thinking leads to a very ugly place, doesn’t it? Just how bad will it get in our lifetimes? Can we turn the tide, at least a little? I don’t know about you, but I’ve been praying for God’s mercy on this nation. Lord, please give us a chance to right these wrongs. For our childrens’ sakes…

    Perfect, Jessica. You demonstrated the mindset void of facts and logic. Well done.
    Yes, mercy and conviction. Amen.
