The Numbers Confirm Republicans Caused The High Unemployment.

The numbers are in and they do indeed confirm that the Republicans are responsible for and are the ones who caused the High numbers of Unemployment, which they are trying to blame the Democrats for. President Obama  alluded to the numbers on his Interview with Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" recently.

The President explained that before he was sworn into office, more than 4 million jobs were lost at the hands of the Republicans, who have at many instances blamed it on their own policies while in office. The President said 750,000 jobs were also lost in the month he was sworn in, and as expected, the job loss rippled on, for some months after, citing the loss of 600,000 jobs each in the two months after. When the new policies started by the Obama Administration started to take hold, we did see the change and lowering of the job loss.

We have seen the Republicans try to dishonestly pin the blame of the job loss on the Democrats, something which simply shows what is inside their very beings, and I must say it is indeed a dirty trick for them to be doing this.

PolitiFact.Com is quoted as reporting, " Looking at BLS data on seasonally adjusted non-farm employment from December 2007, when the recession officially began, to January 2009, the month before the stimulus was enacted (a 25-month period), the jobs number declined by 4.4 million."


It is important to put the blame in the correct place so we can see the truth about the Republican Party and the lies they use to confuse the public and distract voters.

Catholics VS Jews? What's Next?

It is being reported that the Bishops who were called to a meeting at the Vatican in Rome, have Demanded that Israel relinquish and leave the land that it has conquered and occupied since the Six Day War in 1967. The Bishops cite the growing concerns about the condition of lessening numbers of Christians in the region, mainly because of Terrorism, War, Religious conflict, Discrimination and Economic problems among other concerns.


It is reported that the Bishops with the blessing of the Pope, have issued an opinion that Israel should not be using Biblical Scriptures to Justify the injustices the Palestinian people has been made to endure. Since the Occupation in the region, it has been the understanding that the Israel Occupation was a matter of Biblical reasoning as well as political gains due to The Six Day War and keeping the spoils thereof. This link provides more information on the story.


This decision by the Vatican opens a can of worms in the region, one which some hoped had been closed and sealed a long time ago. This puts a religious face on the new stance against Israel's occupation and gives the Palestinians and others in the region who denounce the Occupation, a new voice and possibly a new reason to attack Israel in an attempt to achieve Israel's withdrawal from the the particular parcel of land. 


It has been widely known that the Superpowers around the Globe have supported Israel thus far because it is the only Democracy in the region, one that was after all established by said Superpowers, to gain a foothold into the lucrative and essential Oil reserves in the region. It is no secret that this move to establish and support Israel has been sold to many, not as a Political and Economic strategy, but one with Religious overtones...of Israel being the Promised Land decreed to the people by God Himself.


With the shifting of religious sentiment and indeed Biblical Creditability for Israel's Occupation, which has now been voiced by the Vatican, we can very well see waning support for Israel by concerned Religious Christians around the world, and maybe even a lesser amount of Political support for Israel in the future, from the Superpowers. Some may even question the timing of the decision by the Vatican, with the expectation by some more fanatical Christians, of the promised Armageddon's arrival and as a result, The Rapture. The next few weeks promise to be quite interesting to say the least.

The Empire Strikes Back!

The Empire I speak about is the Grand Ole Party, of which Newt Gingrich is the new voice. Their shameful attempt of calling the President a con man, having all sorts of crazy ideas and trying to fulfill the duties of his tribe is seriously deranged. But that is exactly what people like Newt, Beck, Rush, Hannity, Malkin, Palin, Colter and those others who are too numerous to mention are. We see them slithering out of the woodwork as the elections come nearer and they are convinced that they need to take back the country.
   
This Empire of crazies are the same ones who made America the laughing stock of the world, not to mention we now hang our collective head in shame because of the loss of Lives Globally that we are responsible for having caused, with the wars Bush started and the recession which itself has resulted in the deaths of millions around the world, due to lack of medicines and other things the recession has caused countries to have less of.
Newt is quoted as saying, "What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" on the conservative site National Review Online.
Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post writes, "His lunacy certainly seems genuine enough. It's one thing to be a rhetorical bomb-thrower, as Gingrich has long fancied himself, and another to lob damp squibs of pure nonsense into the fray. The man's contributions to the public discourse have become increasingly unhinged."
The Grand Ole Party sees the opportunity to regain some lost footing so they have sent their fearless foot soldier Newt among others to stir the pot of mayhem. Add to this army of crazies Ginny Thomas, the wife of none other than  Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas. She has surface recently as a vociferous and empty vessel of the Republican "empty headed" ways. One needs not look very far to find Palin, Beck and even Michael Steele in the "empty" category, focusing their snake eyes and spitting venom in the direction of the White House...a White House they all hope to claim in one way or another, as a prize, to give back to the Empire...The Grand Ole Party...of crazies.
I uncovered this letter written by Candace Gingrich, Newt's GAY sister to him after the Prop 8 fiasco... you can find out a bit more about the Candace at this link, the letter reads thusly...
"I recently had the displeasure of watching you bash the protestors of the Prop 8 marriage ban to Bill O’Reilly on FOX News. I must say, after years of watching you build your career by stirring up the fears and prejudices of the far right, I feel compelled to use the words of your idol, Ronald Reagan, “There you go, again.”
However, I realize that you may have been a little preoccupied lately with planning your resurrection as the savior of your party, so I thought I would fill you in on a few important developments you might have overlooked.
The truth is that you’re living in a world that no longer exists. I, along with millions of Americans, clearly see the world the way it is — and we embrace what it can be. You, on the other hand, seem incapable of looking for new ideas or moving beyond what worked in the past."
It is amazing that these words ring true for Newt and the Empire...The Grand Ole Party today, as it did back then...I am still looking over my shoulder expecting to see Darth Freaking Cheney and his set of vipers rearing their venomous heads.

Obama Palin Limbaugh Bush Family Picnic?

Ancestry.com does it again. They hit the political map in my opinion in 2007, when they revealed that Reverand Al Sharpton may be related to the late Segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond. I think they have truly broken the mold this time, with news that President  Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are cousins! They are 10th cousins through an ancestor by the name...John Smith.

The Huffington Post reports The President has also been pegged as being a 10th cousin once removed to the guy who has made no bones about wanting the President to fail in his attempt to put America on the path to recovery...Rush Limbaugh! They are related through a mutual ancestor, Richmond Terrell. President George W. Bush is also now revealed to be connected to Sarah Palin and President Obama, being ther 11th cousin.

It is also reported that Sarah Palin happens to be related to well known conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. They are all cousins through John Lathrop, a Church minister who came from England.

In 2009 it was revealed by Ancestry.com that President Obama was related to Warren Buffett, who is his 7th cousin three times removed, and also is related to Brad Pitt who is his 9th cousin. President Obama is also related to Former Vice President Dick Cheney through Mareen Duvall, a 17th century immigrant from France, reports The Chicago Sun Times.

AZCentral.com reports ..."The ties run through Obama's White, Kansas-born mother's side of the family. Palin's tie to Obama is through early Massachusetts settler John Smith, a Protestant pastor in the 1670s. Smith's wife was the sister of one of the first governors of the Plymouth Bay colony, Thomas Hinckley. Hinckley's father, Samuel, is the familial link between Obama and Bush. Obama's and Limbaugh's common ancestor is Richmond Terrell, who settled in Virginia around 1656 and acquired a large amount of land."

Health Care The Christian Way...

When someone says Health Care, Single Payer or Medicare, Republicans are immediately up in arms. They are of the strict understanding that the Health Care system which helps pay for those who cannot afford it, is bad and in recent times has been called a Socialist system...or Obamacare.
Well, what many do not want you to know is that there is already a system like that out there...it is called Medi-Share, and it is a real system by real Christians giving real care to those who need help to address their Medical needs.
"Medi-Share is a community of more than 36,000 Christians who follow the biblical model of sharing and paying each other's medical bills much like the early church did 2,000 years ago. And as a not-for-profit ministry that promotes healthy biblical lifestyles, participation is affordable."
See the Story at their website.

How does it work?
"Your fixed monthly share amount is used to match others healthcare costs. If you have a medical expense, Medi-Share participants will share your medical bills. In fact, since 1993 more than $490 million have been shared and saved leaving no medical needs unpaid for."
Their statement says..."Healthcare sharing ministries like Medi-Share are the only organizations to be exempt from the
regulations and costs of the recently passed health care bill. (Page 128, H.R. 3590 )"

I would love to let the Republicans/ Conservatives/Teabaggers/Birthers/Neo-Cons, know what real Christians think about Healthcare and why this is a great idea...as the Bible says it should be...maybe they would wake up and see the light...after all, What would Jesus do?

I feel I should also include this comment made by a visitor to my blog www.shockandaweonamerica.com
"James Lansberry said...

I also recommend Samaritan Ministries (www.samaritanministries.org) that I've been a part of since 1996. Over 15,000 families/50,000 Christians sharing medical needs for $320/month or less per family."

Tyler Clementi and Christianity's Evil Intolerance Of Gay People

Christians are normally tolerant people, except when it comes to the Intolerance of Gay people. This hatred and misunderstanding by them is in itself their right in America and they are exercising their ability to make decisions as they have been taught to. Therein lies the problem. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).

The Christian religion and the Christian scriptures tout the intolerance of Homosexual behavior, indulgences and lifestyles. Writings in the Holy Bible, include Leviticus 20:13, which says..."KJV: (King James Version): "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."

There are other parts of the Bible which teach that we should be against the Gay people among us, simply because the Bible says so. If you ask a Christian why they hate Homosexual people you will more times than most get one answer..."The Bible tells me so..."  a phrase they learn as a child, in a song. Another example is this one..." Romans 1 :26, 27...26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature, 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."

I write this article simply because the Christian way of ridiculing the Gay community to the point of making them outcasts of the society and pushing some to the point of committing suicide, is just plain wrong and evil.

Tyler Clementi jumped to his death, off the George Washington Bridge a few days ago, his room mate and another friend are now being charged for possible hate crimes and could even be charged for manslaughter.
Raymond Chase hung himself recently...he was on of at least five suicides in the past few weeks, information that have come to light for most of us, since the interest in Tyler Clementi's suicide.

The predominant problem is bullying. Bullying of anyone causes them to think and do things that do not make much sense to the rest of us, but my interest in the subject right now is...where does the bullying start...who or what gives people the right or reason to bully others. I come up with only one answer....the Christian religion...in Romans, Leviticus, Mathew, Genesis and so many other passages in the Holy Bible.

If the Christian religion via its doctrines is being used as a weapon by these Bullies, and as the reason why they bully others, because the Bible calls for their Death, then we have to question the right of the Christian Church to exist if it causes members of the community to use its teachings to bully others into taking their own lives...as Death is called for by the Bible.

The Bible not only describes homosexual behavior as detestable, but it also calls for the punishment of those involved (Leviticus 20:13)...punishment by death. It is quite clear that the Bible and its teachings has long been the weapon of choice by those hateful enough to use it as such. This opens the question...should the Bible and its religion be afforded special rights under the law, to exist and to keep legally teaching and espousing the practice of  shunning and  bullying of Gay People, which sometimes result in the consequent death of these victims... these Gay people. ..as ordered and encouraged by the Bible?
