THE IRS JUST CAN'T HELP ITSELF

We have recently been informed that the IRS has reached an agreement with the FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation), an atheist group, to monitor Christian churches to make sure they aren't using their pulpits for "illegal campaign intervention".   Seems the FFRF sued the IRS for not 'doing its job' in hunting down tax exempt churches whose pastors discussed issues from the pulpit  such as 'abortion' and same-sex marriage', which are core religious beliefs but controversial political subjects particularly for Democrats (as well as atheists).

The FFRF dropped its lawsuit with the understanding that the IRS did not have a policy of non-enforcement of such religious organizations.  The IRS, however, has refused to tell the rest of the world what new procedures it intends to use or has used to investigate these alleged violations while determining there are some 99 churches that are regarded as high on the list for 'examination'.  The FFRF has complained in particular about Rev. Billy Graham. OMG! 

A HOUSE DIVIDED.....

"A house divided against itself cannot stand."  is a quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln. While it is true he used it at an address before Republican delegates at a Republican Convention in Springfield, Ill., on June 16th, 1858 as the Republican candidate for Senate, it was not his to own. 

 

The reality is it is a statement by Jesus recorded in three gospels - Matthew, Mark and Luke.   I chose the one from Mark 3:24-27 because it is so complete and so appropriate for today:  "If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.  No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man.  And then he will plunder his house."  [emphasis mine]

 

Another way to say it would be:  Divide and conquer.  Plain and simple.  Enter Obama - the ultimate divider. 

 

I believe that I have reached the point of utter disgust and total despair that anyone in the media or any politician will put this current president or his objectives in proper perspective.  Even renowned political commentators tread lightly.  What is so difficult about declaring that this president is not stupid, inept, inexperienced, 'over his head', etc. when the reality is, he is exceptional at doing the job he set out to do.  He is getting "A's" in all areas.  Maybe even A+!

It is pretty well known he was a student of Alinsky.  Therefore, he has mastered the technique of 'lying', considered to be 'relative' in his world.  Per Alinsky:  "An organizer working in and for an open society is in an ideological dilemma to begin with, he does not have a fixed truth - truth to  him is relative and changing.....To the extent that he is free from the shackles of dogma, he can respond to the realities of the widely different situations....." .  (Does the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as the ACA or Obamacare work as an effective example for you?)
