Assuming those professing have any genuine interest in healing those fractures. More often its quite the opposite.
Yes
Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds / Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds /
I liked this. Thanks for sharing it.
And they are all In The Bubble.
Do the idiots who run Christianity Today think that "compassion" is giving a morbidly obese guy more cake?
From the headline, I thought this story was going to be a critique of the song’s line:
Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds / Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds /
It really crosses all boundaries. Many black people are reacting to this song on YT. All they hear is the same reality they live. Some have been told the song is ‘racist’ or ‘right wing’, only to listen to it and be confused how anyone can make that claim.
The left believe it is ‘right wing’ to believe taxes should not pay for the fudge rounds of a 300lb person.
It’s hard to believe that the left can win any elections...something is very, very wrong. We all know...
“...something is very, very wrong.”
Something’s been wrong for decades and generations, since socialist FDR created SSA, LBJ created “The Great Society”, and on and on and on. The recent and unending Covid-19 payments didn’t help, either.
That may be but I don’t believe the voter fraud possibilities have ever been so available and the extreme leftist takeover of our 3 letter agencies is recent. The double standard of law has never been so acute.
Of course the highest levels of any power structure will have corrupt people...but now evil is in our face, demanding we accept it as good.
You are correct. An important point is our opponents are not just "Godless" they are actively anti-Christian.
They openly desire to destroy all of societal norms and society itself. They are much closer to Maoists or to Pol Poi than to 1950's Democrats. The only thing they believe in is political power, a reversion to the old Pharoes or Kings.
Agreed - and their actions have exposed themselves, so they have to go ‘all in’. They know what comes with failing to “kill the king”...they will abuse all their authority to survive, if they fail they know what’s coming. The fear is setting in that they will fail, so it’s only going to get more extreme.
The left targeted Christianity Today and hijacked it years ago. It has been turned.
You are quite correct, of course. The rich men north of Richmond, in pursuit of their retaining total control, love them some racial animosity, love to keep people divided.
Well said.
Some of the “response” songs coming from left-wing musicians have really been something else. Not for their political points, which we/I might pretty much expect, but rather for just how flat-out tone-deaf and out-of-touch some of them are. (I’m looking at you, Mr. ‘Voice-of-the-downtrodden-English-Working-Class, Billy Bragg...)
Hearing Billy’s response song: “Rich Men, Who Make North of a Million” made me sad, but not in a good way. I was sad because I just realised that I could no longer call myself one of Billy’s casual fans. I’d always known he considered himself a Marxist, but I still admired his musicality. Likewise, a few of his non-political songs, such as: “A New England” are classics. This new song, however? It made me sad to realise that he’s turned into yet another Champagne Socialist, who is completely out of touch.
Likewise with another (can’t remember the artist’s name), who is a Middle-Aged, white fellow wearing Rasta colours, and who speaks and sings with a lilting ‘Medieval Bard’ West Country English accent. I listened to his Forest Elf song, and started grumbling to myself: “And wot’s all this, then? Some bloody wanker playing a vintage Martin D28 is going to try and tell Mr. Anthony that somehow HE is more ‘in touch’ with the frustrations of the average working person? That some upper-bourgeois English TWIT somehow knows more about sruggling than backwoods Virginia boy, who is out in the woods, and playing on a $500 Gretsch Resonator, with his doggos at his feet?
Sure, Jan.
I have a friend whose job puts him in contact with wealthy people, though he is merely a scraping-by servant in a service industry. He is a chauffeur; a black suit driving a black car with dark-tinted windows. He drives in silence and hears the conversations.
We think of the wealthy, particularly the permanent alphabet Fed agency wealthy, as pure evil, intent on eventual Stalinist class genocide.
There are those people, and given the chance they would(will) go all mega-gulag on us.
But the Rich People North of Richmond have another, personal motivation: family business. These are people who do this for the paycheck and the perks. There is an enormous culture of people who have married each other (Mitch McConnell + Elaine Chow, Alan Greenspan + Andrea Mitchell, James Comey + Patrice Failor, Chuck Schumer + Iris Weinshall, on and on and on). Their motivation is for themselves and their children.
They get government jobs with GS numbers and titles and perks.
They get houses in particular neighborhoods.
They get golf course memberships.
They send their kids to particular schools and colleges.
Then their kids graduate the colleges and they also get government jobs with titles and perks, and it is now multi-generational.
They intermarry, power family to power family.
They use the muscle of their government positions to partner with businesses who will expand their family capital. The Pelosi family is simply the hood ornament of a giant machine that has plugged their power cord into The Force for personal gain.
They do not see it as corruption. They see it as connection. They are not joyful, but they are happy. And, of course, smug.
They want this gravy train to continue, for their children and grandchildren.
This is why they hate you. You threaten to interfere with their manicured life. You want to take it away by voting for those people. You are not part of their bubble; you are the unsanitary who have to actually go to the store for food and clothing, Walmart and Kroger, ew.
They will do what they have to to stop you.
They want Biden the terrible to use those F 15 on us and they would pay him to do that.
I’m not joking.
