So far this budget year, the biggest spending categories are programs from the Health and Human Services Department, including Medicare and Medicaid, $560.2 billion; Social Security, $516.1 billion; military, $437.7 billion, and interest on the public debt, $385.1 billion.
The last time I read the Constitution, the only one category in the above paragraph that is mentioned came in 4yh place in spending.
So what does that say about our “government”?
And why are all the libtards complaining about Bush? The “government” he is supposedly running is spending 3 times as much on feel good social programs THAT ARE NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION than he is on the “evil military machine” that is.
I don’t think we are a constitutional republic anymore. Welcome to the nanny state.
I thought I was going to change direction on this blog, but with all the “wonderful” fertilizer I’ve been seeing in the news lately, I just can’t help myself.
So, there will be some Apologetics and Creation Evidence thrown in, but for now, we return you to the ranting and raving of a Grove Rat Redneck….
The whole story is here:
For those of us who have for years diligently observed the selective inconsistencies and overt hypocrisy of the ACLU, none of this comes as a surprise. Rather, it is a verification. For we know what motivates the ACLU and what is its ultimate goal. Long ago it decided to do what ever it takes to expunge America of its affinity to Christianity and strip our society of its Judeo-Christian touchstone and foundation. It expanded the context of separation of church and state to accomplish this goal, and a good-willed citizenry acquiesced for they did not wish to question what they assumed were the pure, constitutional motivations behind the ACLU’s campaign. Who wants to question an organization with beguiling head-banners such as American and Civil Liberties.
The ACLU has manipulated church/state issues and used it selectively when it furthered its own anti-Christian agenda. Evidently, separation of church from state is not the inviolable principle we were led to believe given the ACLU’s own brushing aside of it if standing in the way of Islamic desires. For, truthfully, nothing would give the ACLU more pleasure than forcing upon America — and its students — a multi-culturalism and multi-religionism that would effectively diminish the influence and identity of America as a Judeo-Christian society.
Why does this organization with the high-sounding, patriotic name have as its purpose the destruction of the Judeo-Christian, American belief system? It was founded by Roger Baldwin, an avowed communist, who knew that what prevents America from being taken over by communism are precisely its Judeo-Christian beliefs. A religious society will not give its allegiance to the state but to God only. It will support only that form of government that subscribes to In God We Trust, not one rooted in atheism, as is the communist state.
