We keep hoping God will save America. Save us from the muslims, save us from Obama, save us from this, save us from that. God isn’t going to save us. He’s going to destroy us. We’re the new Sodom and Gomorrah.

Have a read at Revelation 18 for more prophetic details.

"An accountant was blocked more than 16,000 times in a month from visiting websites classified as "Sex" or "Pornography." Yet, he still managed to amass a collection of "very graphic" material on his hard drive by using Google images to bypass the SEC's internal filter"

Standard work week is 40 hours, but let's say this guy is in the office 80 hours each week that month. That's 320 hours total. If all he did was surf porn, that's 50 times per hour he was blocked. About once per minute.

If true, that's quite an obsession, one more fit for mandatory therapy (than a mere 14 day suspension).

When I read the testimony of one of the survivors of a Nazi death camp, I realized that God doesn’t save anyone - - he charges us to stand up and do the labors.

I’m very active this election cycle. I hope all of you are.

Yes...everyone needs to be active. We signed like 50 people up to be precinct committee people at our Tax Day Tea Party. Some of those people didn’t even know what a PC does. That says something. People WANT to do something...I’m hoping for a landslide.

Good work, Hildy. (I thought you were ignoring me)

I’m getting involved in two races here and will be speaking at some community meetings. Next week I meet with a big joe; it may lead to more involvement.

We have to turn this nation around!

"Senior staffers at the Securities and Exchange Commission spent hours surfing pornographic websites on government-issued computers while they were being paid to police the financial system, an agency watchdog says."

What was the gay/straight breakdown?

There is a solid investment tip in this article if you have eyes to see it.

This isn't the first time we've heard about it.

 

From February 2nd of this year from CBS News:

More than two dozen employees and contractors at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission were investigated in the past two years for viewing pornography on their government computers, the Washington Times reports.

Records from the SEC's office of inspector general showed that one SEC regional supervisor's work computer showed more than 1,800 "access denials" to pornography over a 17-day period, the Times reports. Clicking on one Web site could trigger dozens of "access denials" to pop-up ads. Still, the supervisor reportedly told investigators, "It was kind of distraction per se."

The Times obtained more than 150 pages from the investigations through a Freedom of Information Act Request. Finding a couple dozen employees -- out of a staff of about 3,500 -- surfing porn at work is not a problem unique to the SEC, Allan Bachman, education manager for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, told the Times. He said, however, that it was troubling because "they're getting paid to do something that they're not supposed to be doing."

The SEC is charged with protecting investors facilitating capital growth, and maintaining fair, orderly and efficient markets.

The names of the employees under investigation were withheld from the documents provided to the Times, as were individual disciplinary decisions. The SEC reportedly said, however, that sanctions generally range from counseling to dismissal.

You know the old saying...

‘When the going gets tough - the tough surf for porn...’

“disturbing that high-ranking officials within the SEC were spending more time looking at porn than taking action to help stave off the events that put our nation’s economy on the brink of collapse.”

It’s more than that. It’s disturbing that the SEC is so bloated that that many people were doing nothing and nobody noticed that work wasn’t getting done.

Positions need to be eliminated.

Yeah, but at least they kept the porn industry from experiencing a financial meltdown and needing a government bailout.

Of course. We wished we had done so a long time ago. The image of government today has degraded to nothing more than a social club of elitist criminals who plunder the nation’s monetary wealth like pirates and newly-found treasure.

And these yahoos are going to retire on luxurious pensions paid by the taxpayers? Or they think they are. A whole bunch of them need to be rounded up and sent to prison, starting with their ‘overseers’ in congress.
