Racists, Birthers, Deathers And Disruptors Beware!
DC Examiner ^ | 8/12/09 | Dean A. Banks

Posted on 08/12/2009 9:03:09 AM PDT by steve-b

Your time has come. It's the end of an era of posturing and ignorance. Your good ole boy clubs and networks have been placed under the microscope. Every day that you invade town halls with your rhetoric and insanity proves this fact. Your bellowing of how health care reform will drastically interfere with the free enterprise system is being revealed by the fact that good ole boys are paying citizens to disrupt discussions at town halls. The financing from the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies of the good ole boy network is trying to stop what they feel will hurt their bottom line. You are fueling the underlying racial divide with rhetoric and distraction. Do you honestly think that the average intelligent person can't see through you scripted statements and false passions? Most of the people are simply tired of your B.S. That's why Obama was elected. It's time for you to grow up and stop being sore losers. Oh, but that's trying to get rationality out of people who are irrational, which, in itself is irrational. Oh no, circular logic!

Was Jesus a racist? Did he not say that the good news was for both Jews AND Gentiles? Jesus embraced all kinds of people. A simple analysis of the Beatitudes reflects this:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew5:3) -- the poor and humble in spirit are blessed by God. Are the racists, birthers, deathers and disruptors of town halls humble in spirit? Hardly. Theirs is a spirit of frustration; "I want my country back!" Back from whom? A black president? Ah, you have revealed your racism!

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4) -- mourners are those who have endured the tremendous might of evil which invades the world; one of these evils is racism. Christ is also a comforter. His wisdom and love of man is unparalleled.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5) -- the meek are humble and gentle; they don't strive for disharmony because they put their needs in God's hands, who ultimately delivers their inheritance of peace and justice on earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6) -- the loaves and the fishes are a result of the oppressed people who longed for salvation and acceptance; sound like slavery of the African-American people? How many years did they endure oppression? Separation from their family members. Working hard for NO wages. Yet they thirsted for righteousness and the result was an African-American president who is aware of, and capable of, bringing the races together. Something the separatists despise. It is ruining "their America!" Funny, I thought this was our America?

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Matthew 5:7) -- When you show mercy to another person who you perceive has violated you, then you are superseding justice with love. By assuming a quality of God and showing mercy, mercy will be shown to you. Are the racists, birthers, deathers and disruptors merciful? They are demanding back what they perceive is theirs without regard for anyone else. That, is NOT mercy!

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8) -- When you see God in everything that He has created, you are pure in heart. We are all expressions of God no matter what race we are. Anyone who sees that differently is NOT pure in heart. Is someone who accepts money to disrupt a town hall meeting with rhetoric and distraction pure in heart? Hardly!

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Matthew 5:9) -- Those who seek peace accept God as the creator of all things and diligently seek enlightenment and alignment with God. The God of the Old Testament appears to be a warrior God to some. Defending the Jews and claiming them as his "chosen people." We are all children of God, yet when we seek separation from the whole of God's creation, we are dividing up the whole into us and them. This is the basis for war, racism, separatism and all hostilities. Those who seek peace and calm, focused discussion recognize their connection to God. Is this the kind of behavior exhibited by racists, birthers, deathers and disruptors? Hardly!

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:10) -- God set the example of how we should behave with the actions and behaviors in the life of Christ. Jesus demonstrated human emotion, divine healing and showed mercy and brotherhood to all. When Peter cut off the ear of the soldier, Jesus put it back on. He lived in the Kingdom of Heaven and said it was here and now. Not in some far off place in the sky. It is up to us to emulate his behavior and live in the Kingdom of Heaven now! There is no derision and hostility in the Kingdom of Heaven. Will there be sidearms present when you live in the Kingdom of Heaven? Think about it!

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12) -- This verse has been my guiding light. I am exceedingly glad and my reward is being able to live in the Kingdom of Heaven here and now. When I receive attacks from commenters who speak out of their a~s, without anything to back it up, I smile and thank the Lord for blessing me with insight and understanding. The Beatitudes are about keeping the testimonies of God and seeking Him with all of your mind, body and spirit. When you do this your are living in the Kingdom of Heaven everyday. Those who seek derision against man without proof, claim to know the Bible without thoroughly researching it and act like animals at public events are persecuting everyone who shows up to discuss the current issues. Rejoice in their ignorance for they truly have their reward! They have to live with themselves. Ultimately, pray for their guidance from God and the understanding of His laws.

Racists, birthers, deathers and disruptors beware. Your B.S. has been seen in the light of day. Try actually reading the content of the Health Reform Act before you cast judgment. Stop listening to self-aggrandizing inciters like Sarah Palin who don't have a clue about reality, except to manipulate apparent circumstances to support their positions and increase their bottom line. Do you really think she actually cares about you? If you do then you are quite foolish. Keep displaying your ignorance and keep revealing your lack of understanding of what Jesus has taught us. I can only pray that one day you will wake up and smell the flowers. They, too, are a part of God's magnificent creation!

What gets me is the ‘it’s okay for me but not for thee’ mentality of the left. It’s okay for them to have ‘patriotic dissent’ as squealed by Hillary. It’s okay for them to use the Bible and reference it, but no one else can. It’s okay for them to spy on people and have an offical government snitch on your neighbor email. It’s okay for them to be racist. It’s okay for them to be rich. It’s okay for them to have jets and big cars and huge carbon footprints. It’s okay for them to be corrupt in politics and life in general. It’s okay for them to organize. It’s okay for them to limit free speech. It’s okay for them to do anything... but anyone else with a different set of ideals or morals, well they are out of luck. Sounds a bit Vichy to me.

I am going to do you the favor of a serious answer to your piece. I assume you wrote it, and if you did, you deserve that.

good ole boys are paying citizens to disrupt discussions at town halls.

You haven't been paying attention. It is the O who has been organizing paid groups to carry out his will, including showing up at these meetings. And he is deploying SEIU union members to intimidate and in some cases rough up dissenters. Remember, O is a career "community organizer". Organizing mobs and intimidating his enemies is what he does. You didn't know what a "community organizer" does? Now you do.

The financing from the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies of the good ole boy network

Again, you haven't been paying attention. The drug companies are getting on board the O train. They have put up $150 million to pay for his health bill campaign. No one is asking if thats ethical, funny about that.

Ah, you have revealed your racism!

When you get older you'll find that the DNC is the party of the race-obsessed. If race and ethnicity is the source of your identity, you are probably in the DNC. If you consider yourself an American first, and your ethnic identity second or not at all, you are probably in the GOP or headed our way. If race is everything to you, you belong in the DNC. If character and philosophy are your most important considerations, you should consider coming over.

In any case, I see screeds claiming that anyone calling O a socialist is a racist. Its just a catch-all argument that is their only argument. If you want to be in the pundit game, you've really got to do better.

Is someone who accepts money to disrupt a town hall meeting

Remember, it is O who is organizing paid agitators. While accusing his enemies of doing what he is doing.

Try actually reading the content of the Health Reform Act before you cast judgment

Yes, try reading it.

Now I'll go you one better. Try reading O's stimulus bills before passing them. Good luck.

Re-read your piece. All you've done is accuse people of racism rather than engage their argument. Do they disagree with the government takeover of the auto industry? Racists. Do they disagree with dumping two trillion dollars down a mystery hole? Racists. Do they disagree with a government takeover of the medical industry? Need I repeat it? Racists.

Part of what makes democracy work is having enough respect for your opponents to engage their argument.

As one who also has noticed (how can you not?) the incomparable ignorance of EVERY article posted by 'steve-b' (there are hundreds, if not thousands), it seems to be a valid question as to whether he wishes to be zotted.

This diatribe is right out of the playbook of Saul Alinsky:

"Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more live up to their own rules than the Christian Church can live up to Christianity."

"No organization, including organized religion, can live up to the letter of its own book. You can club them to death with their 'book' of rules and regulations."

Well, I guess the generous Mr. Dean A. Banks just wants “blessings” bestowed upon us, since we are now, as a nation;

- In widespread spiritual poverty, due to overt attacks upon the majority religion, Christianity, the principles of which our nation was founded upon;

- In mourning, over the loss of liberty, freedom of association, the right to life and, soon, the right to speak ones mind about pernicious government attempts to remove ever more of these genuine, not imagined or invented, rights;

- In meek acceptance, by and large, of governmental control over every aspect of our lives, and of governmental condemnation of sincere religious belief;

- In hunger and thirst after righteousness, since there is precious little emanating from government, particularly since January 20, 2009;

- At the mercy of the merciless, who have the temerity to demand mercy from their victims.

Then, the good Mr. Banks proceeds to revile and persecute the pure of heart, in a much less than peaceable manner.

Mr. Banks is misusing the Bible for deceit. Even the Devil himself can quote scripture.

This screed was no doubt aimed cynically at black Christians. I know many Christians who happen to be black, and they're keenly aware of this sort of thing. Most of them will see through it. Having a government that deems itself able to determine life or death for all it's subjects, is not in the interests of any of us, of any color.
