Obama To Cut Energy Assistance For Poor; Kerry Urges Him To Reconsider

Obama To Cut Energy Assistance For Poor; Kerry Urges Him To Reconsider

Thank God for you, Senator Kerry.  There are a few voices of Reason and Compassion afoot.  Now here's a deep thought I had to myself:  Why don't the people that have the means to do it but not the will, take Uncle Sam's huge hat, pass it around the rich round table, or maybe it's a rectangle or something, and take up a collection to fund these concerns.  Here's the purpose, Mr. President, just in case it is really true that you are going along with or proposing this atrocity yourself:  

Take up a collection on behalf of these citizens of this country - citizens no less than the ones who own most of the money and everything else in the country and maybe the world:  (1)  all of the old people, our parents, grands and great-grands and more; (2) all of the little and not-so-little children of this country; (3) the sick, you know, those, the majority of whom cannot eat and pay bills, afford medical care and medicines, too; (4) the disabled (the sick) who can't keep a job either, because they are NOT able; (5) the jobless (these named belong to them in some way) who cannot find a job through no fault of their own, but the need for money for livelihood never fails; (6) the shut-in, too sick to move enough to take care of themselves - thus shut-in - they could freeze to death in their immobile states during the winter, and suffocate in their stillness during the summer.  It would be a murderous thing to doom people to what they will suffer because they are the expendable ones.  

The passing around of a legislative collection plate would solve a lot of problems that greed will not because it does not want to.  Surely some soundness should prevail here.  Only those who have become so desensitized by misuse of the goods of this globe, and by the (for some) unlawful and dishonest accumulation of them, have a lack of concern for those less fortunate than themselves, and therefore, their hearts don't bleed for the pain these political actions cause.  They can tune it out - poof - it's not there.  This ranks atop many, many injustices against the poor that can be named.   If we do not care for our own, who's going to care for us when the time comes - it will come.  


"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap" (Galatians 6:7), whether we believe it or not.

And one of them balanced the national Budged before he left office.  Since when had that been done?  By which party.  It is so easy for those who don't have the weight of solving national problems to find so much fault with those who do.  If opinions were money, America would not be Huffington's Third World America.   If this bill is not passed by the end of the year, and the Republicans take control of the House next year, just imagine how hard it will be to push anything through without much effort and possibly some concessions.   But what would you do to bail us out were you the problem solver in charge?

It is a pity that Republicans PROSTITUTE the Constitution by using their def. of it in  whatever way that suits them:  Against the poor by taking food out of their dependents' mouths (like in order 4 kids to merit a thot fr Conserves, they must be unborn fetuses who don't share exactly the same kinds of needs yet as those already here & need their help.  Unborn kids eat what their moms eat - or not.  So, on the other hand, unborn babes are hungry too, I suggest.  There are plenty of hungry moms-to-be who need the benefits denied them on one pretext or another).   The Rich live in plenty while children et al., are hungry and need the assistance due them, not judgment.

They use it (the Constitution) to block the constitutional rights of gay people they send to war, yet forcing them to lie about who they are because they won't be accepted in the  reality their own way of life.  Republicans unconstitutionally make the gay military have to lie in order to protect and serve.  What a bunch of hypocrites and they know it.  Therefore they use the Constitution against the Military, licking their lips saying they have DONE NO HARM.  They use it to refuse to do any good thing in favor of anyone but themselves, and they still demand that they are faithful and true American Patriots.  In truth they are faithful and true - INFIDELS (which is the definition of what they do).

Obama Lashes Out At 'Hostage-Taking' Republicans, Sanctimonious Democrats

Obama Lashes Out At 'Hostage-Taking' Republicans, Sanctimonious Democrats

There is no reason at all why the President should have to defend the comprises that were made with the lawless Republican lawmakers, as well as those of the self-righteous Democrats, who voted against helping the poor and middle class because they didn't like something about this bill.  Hello, it is not about you, it about an America that has 10% unemployment and hungry people who need to eat.  Instead of ranting and raving, they should be out decking the halls of food pantries with food in the storehouse for those in need of it.  

Had the President not agreed to those compromises, there are millions of people who would not have the next 13 months of unemployment checks to look forward to, while their dependents look to them.  At least some of our prayers on behalf of others have been answered.  As an American citizen, I am very ashamed of the high-handed demeanor of the rich ones who don't need what they high-jacked the middle class as hostage to wrest from the White House.   

I am also appalled at those limp-backed Democrats who, instead of banding together to make something good happen for someone else, hold back from solidarity, then blame those who do try to get things done on behalf of others - those who elected them.  How many Democrats voted to get this bill passed for victory on behalf of their constituency.    How many Democrats were on board with or WITHOUT the help of Republicans.  Did they all vote as a block or did they all split their vote.  It is one thing for the Democrats to be defeated on a measure when they stand as one unit in diversity and diversity in unity, but it is another when they split their allegiance to the party and therefore don't have enough votes on their own.  They might as well have never had a majority at all.  They NEVER CAPITALIZED ON IT.

I would suggest that those Democrats who are griping because the President deferred to the hostage takers on behalf of the hostages, that they think less of themselves and more of the fact that there are millions of people in need of this bill, and in order to get that help, they had to help those who should be helping them.  There is not a speck of decency in those superfluous frauds who make the less fortunate suffer the indignities they impose upon them simply because they CAN.   Afterwards, they slink up to the media podiums, acting and speaking like the most pious ones walking the earth. 

For those who are barking at the fact that the rich got what they know they can get, I'd suggest they ask the people who would otherwise not have this help were the outcome not what it is.  The true pity would be that the poor and middle class DID NOT have this bill passed, and did not have this extension to sleep on at night - only a drop in the bucket of the true need, but still it is at least a drop.  So I thank God on their behalf for that drop.  Some children, old and sick people will eat at least.   The moral corruption I suggest would be to do other than this small amount.
