President Barack Obama made a heart felt speech in the White House Prayer Room today when he engaged every one to view their faith as a form not only of developing a personal relationship with God but also that it is a moral obligation as a person of Faith to seek out Social Justice as a cause and develop empathy among one another. By engaging in dialogue he spoke of the intercession of God’s Grace. In other words if we learn to communicate with each other then God will pour down his Divine blessings and Grace on such an auspicious event.
If we truly want God in our lives then we have to develop at least a God like instinct in order to recognize God in all of our actions. How we speak, eat and above all inter act plays a role in the kind of God consciousness we may awaken in ourselves and above all help awaken in others. Empathy and Compassion are the real driving forces behind true or Divine Love. Without these two components Love can not flow through the Heart of Mankind.
It is time now for real change and Obama is helping to catapult real moral change from within the White House to the rest of the World. If any one can really succeed in the pursut of Happiness then it is definitely Barack Obama.
Now that Barack Obama has been voted in as President Elect of the United States of America and is the first Colored President of this Nation does his role in this prestigious office symbolize more than just a racial change in Government?
I believe that Obama has more than one role to fulfill in his term or terms in Office and apart from a hefty job in front of him which includes sorting out two war zones and an almost defunct Economy, He has also been given the undisputed and indirect title of a modern day savior in more ways than one.
The Republican Party has been the one noted for its Heavy Evangelical Christian Backers but I am wondering why so many Republicans have panicked at hi most noteworthy and utterly Christian Ethic namely THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH that is supposed to alleviate many an American Average Joe’s life. Why have so many so called Christians disliked Obama’s plan to redistribute the Nations Wealth so that the Economy can be kick started back into action? Isn’t it the most Christian of duties to ‘Love Thy Neighbor’ and share in what we have with those less fortunate?
Are Christian Principles only stuck with the Abortion issue yet the lives of the Living are just left un rendered?
Obama faces many challenges and it is sad to see so many Americans who do not agree with the basic principle of sharing the Wealth with those that need to survive and live and yet claim at the same time they are Christian.
You will see here that Barack Obama’s tax plan isn’t some scary socialistic and twisted plan to gain votes but some simple idea that will get the majority of lower and middle income American families out of the struggle they are in and into a far more comfortable situation.
Now if the one or five per cent of Americans are gong to complain that they may have to fork out a little bit more to give to their poorer counterparts then I am sorry but it is about time. When I see hardworking Americans earning Peanuts sweating it off all day packing Wallmart Shelves and the likes of Britney Spears get idolized and earn a ruddy fortune for just prancing around a stag half naked then somewhere something looks just a little unfair to me.
When America claims to be the land of the Free how can a poverty stricken American be free enough to make any decent life choices?It’s time to pay it forward and help some people get out of the rut.
Well it looks like Joe the Plumber from Ohio doesn’t like the idea that Obama is putting forward an economic reform that would make earners over 250,000 bucks have to fork out a little bit more in taxes to help distribute a little of the wealth that needs to go around in order to give the stagnant Economy some sort of a jump start.
Although in his interviews he hasn’t openly declared who he is voting for it is obvious that he has leanings towards the Republican Campaign and equally declares that the poverty stricken people in the U.S are fortunate and even have cell phones while other poor people around the Word have nothing. I don’t like to use analogies myself like this to excuse the extremely uneven distribution of wealth in America which has come about by failed economic policies as well as a lack of social Ethos. Whatever anyone says you should be proud of where you come from but this shouldn’t blind you to the impediments and wrong doing of Governments and Big Corporations that have left the U.S Economy in tatters. Then again that is just my 2 cents worth!
Once a week I will be posting in brief about my blog of the week which I feel is not only a good read but also I like to introduce other great Bloggers to my readers so they can expand their literary pleasures. POLITICS2000 has all the hallmarks of an enthusiastic political journal that will bring a spark to your daily news reads and is written in a style that is both original and is not lacking in finesse.
I think they should rename and re run the series Sex and the City and you won’t get some thirty something wannabe drop dead gorgeous working Mid Town women raving on about your sex life but now you will have the FBI checking out your heavy breathing techniques!!! Darth Vader Watch Out you’re beat Blad!
HMM Where does it say that America is the Land of the free?
Did that become extinct way back with T rex or is it something that we still have to have rammed down our throats in a high school brain washing session? Has the War on Terror just been some fabricated story whipped up so that no citizen is ever truly free again?
Does this mean that Big Brother is homing in for good and some geezers with their satellites ARE REALLY WATCHING OUR EVERY MOVE?
Sorry but you are NOT seeing the colour of MY undies that’s for sure as I think I have SOME rights to privacy left or have I?
I know we can sit and laugh at Stephen Colbert’s wry and witty satirical overtones about the Bailout plan and other things but if we really think outside of the box to see how grim the picture is for the majority of the World and especially U.S Citizens you would want to freak out in an instant.
The American Masses have been hood winked constantly into believing that they are not paying the price for Government policy because they are getting the money from other sources. What are the other sources? Loans from China and other Nations. Who IS really fitting the bill? The American People because instead of even that ‘borrowed money’ going on ifastructure, health care and sorting out the Katrina Victims it is only lining the pockets of Bad Banking Ceo’s, Contracting Companies like MPRI and Blackwater and a few Governmental shareholders who have their hands in the Arms Industry and so forth. Yes the American People ARE PAYING because they are not getting the services the Government should provide for them with Public Funding in the first place!!!
So we can sit and laugh at Stephen Colbert Funnies but really we have to take an initiative to really implement change in Washington..It won’t happen on its own and I can’t see Sarah Palin doing it can you?
The U.S debt stands at a staggering amount of trillions, not billions of dollars and now that the Bail out wasn’t voted in (funnily enough it was the Republicans that put more nays than their Democratic counterparts in to the ballot box) what is going to happen to all these banking Institutions and other big companies that were depending on this package? Not only that but the rising debt is falling on the Average American’s head and the burden that this puts on future generations does not make America sound much like The Land of the Free anymore. When you are in debt you automatically take on Slave status and if the U.S political Powers that be keep this up the U.S Economy will not only falter but the U.S will not be able to make random choices and will also lose its powerful voice in WORLD Affairs.
Qiman has uploaded a video that really opened my eyes wide to the U.S DEFICIT and the situation the U.S Economy is in which will have socio - economic implications of great loss which may never be repaired if something drastic isn’t done to halt this downturn. American Citizens have to look hard into the Economic packages each political party is dishing out before casting a vote.
Now the BIG DEBATE Lingers on as to who the American Government should spread the tax burden to, the Rich or the Poor. Both camps have their argument.
The Rich say if they are heavily taxed they will not be able to provide jobs for the poor. The Poor if they are over taxed will have nothing left for Consumer Spending so the Rich will lose in revenue and profits anyway.
Why not we have a tax penal system made up for Bad Citizens who go in and out of Rehab for example, Celebrities that are over paid huh? Why not they get a nice big taxation stamp on their budget as they not only are overpaid but they are also wasting a lot of resources living their over decadent lives while millions are starving and dying each day when they could live in basic peace and harmony.
The Tax Issue has many levels to it, not only in direct taxation and should be looked at through more than one lens to get the real picture of what is going on and what should really change. Who out of the Two camps will win and benefit from the next Election..We have to wait and see.
‘you vote now - we lie to you later’ game we can get from the McCain -Palin Contingent ..
‘you vote - we lie to you in advance!!!
You get the double wammy of being lied to now and later!!!!!
Oh and don’t forget McCain will go on and on about his P.O.W life in a prison camp….O.K we know you served your country but it’s getting a bit warped and scary isn’t it now!
That and the Palin Spinoffs which are becoming a disaster for the Republican Election Campaign are just breeding a coctail of contempt for the American People. I can see one large glass of sherry hear beinf doped up with a pre Election Lie Pill. Who in their right mind is going to drink this concoction? Voting in this Election is becoming as dangerous as clubbing in an East Village club on a Friday night!
I am wondering really what is the agenda of each politician of every colour and creed in thee U.S?Is it true that each racial group dances to a different tune? Here in these videos Qiman does his best to shed some light on this dilemma and to help us focus on what is really going on behind the political boudoir. Do black want change and emancipation from Slavery which is the poverty and struggle of the Black Lower Classes in American Society? Do the Whites want to keep an Elitist Status quo still going well into the next millennium and beyond?
Do the Yellow races want to just go with the highest bidder, wherever the is opportunity for Economic growth? Do the browns and Latinos want to take take over a middle bourgoise stance in mainstream politics? Let’s see if there is real change coming in the next U.S election and can there equally be a change in the different mentalities that divide Colour in America, even today..in the so called Land of the Free.
