This guy cant even take care of his family… why would he take care of our nation?!
His own flesh and blood; his brother:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2590614/Barack-Obamas-lost-brother-found-in-Kenya.htmlbut yet… he thinks the main moral failure with the USA is that we don’t take care of the poor? Does he care about the USA more than his own family?
Here he is in his own words, from his own website:
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/poverty/“I'm in this race for the same reason that I fought for jobs for the jobless and hope for the hopeless on the streets of Chicago; for the same reason I fought for justice and equality as a civil rights lawyer; for the same reason that I fought for Illinois families for over a decade… That's why I'm running, Democrats — to keep the American Dream alive for those who still hunger for opportunity, who still thirst for equality.”
— Barack Obama, Speech in Des Moines, IA, November 10, 2007
And this transcript from the liberals at CNN themselves:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0808/17/se.01.html“WARREN: OK, all right. Let's talk about personal life. The Bible says that integrity and love are the basis of leadership. This is a tough question. What would be, looking over your life -- everybody's got weaknesses. Nobody's perfect -- would be the greatest moral failure in your life? And what would be the greatest moral failure of America?
OBAMA: Well, in my own life I'd break it up in stages. I had a difficult youth. My father wasn't in the house. I've written about this. You know, there were times where I experimented with drugs. I drank in my teenage years. And what I traced this to is a certain selfishness on my part. I was so obsessed with me and, you know, the reasons that I might be dissatisfied that I couldn't focus on other people. And I think the process for me of growing up was to recognize that it's not about me. It's about --
WARREN: I like that. I like that.
OBAMA: Absolutely. So -- but look, you know, when I -- when I find myself taking the wrong step, I think a lot of times it's because I'm trying to protect myself instead of trying to do god's work.
WARREN: Fundamental selfishness.
OBAMA: So that I think is my own failure.
WARREN: What about America?
WARREN: I think America's greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we still don't abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me, and that notion of -- that basic principle applies to poverty. It applies to racism and sexism. It applies to, you know, not having -- not thinking about providing ladders of opportunity for people to get into the middle class. There's a pervasive sense, I think, that this country, as wealthy and powerful as we are, still don't spend enough time thinking about the least of us.”
My thoughts:
Should we help those in need – yes.
Should we bathe them and feed them every day of their life – no.
Should we give them opportunities to work - yes.
Should we help the lazy time and time again - no.
2 Thessalonians 3:8-10 (English Standard Version)
8”nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate. 10For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. 12Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.”
Soon, very soon this earth will be no more. We will no longer work or live on this earth. We will not be governed by human authority; Democrat, Republican or Independent. We will only have The One True King. Pain and suffering will no longer exist. Our earthly bodies will be no more and sin will no longer exist. But we still wait for that day, when the trumpet sounds.
This could be painful... just thought I'd share my drive for the weekend... 7 hours... and I never leave the state... just glad I'm not going to El Paso or Brownsville!
Since I have readers from all over the world... ... ... I thought I'd post a recent picture from Thanksgiving... which in itself should let you know at least 1 thing that I'm so thankful for! :-)
After the race... flexing our plex! (96.3 KPLX) now thats old school!
Me coming out of the over/under... now thats muddy!
Photo Op (and a resting op too!) with Sara.
Yeah... Mike and Sara are in front... but look at Liz way in the back! ;-)
Before we started... make love to the camera!

John Wayne. Need I say more?.JPG)
and Mickey Blue Eyes...
The most famous quote in all of football was provided for us by this guy, Jimmy Johnson!
John Fitzgerald Kennedy's grave site with the eternal flame. The home above was Robert E. Lee's home. The reason the National Cemetary exists where it does is because they wanted to bury dead soldiers in his front yard since R.E.L. joined 'the south' during the Civil War. Robert E. Lee never returned to his home after the war.
The Vietnam Memorial Wall... with Flower. There are now 58,260 names listed on the wall.
The Washington Memorial. You cannot tell through this picture, but the memorial was put on hold half way through the construction. You can notice there is 2 different colors of stone about half way up. There was a lack of funds during the Civil War. This monument took 36 years to build.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The words written on the tomb say:
The Watergate Hotel. Home of the Nixon scandal..JPG)
President Howard Taft's resting place. He is only 1 of 2 Presidents buried in Arlington National Cemetary. (The other is JFK).
Ford's Theatre, the place where Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth.
The tombstone of Audie L. Murphy, the most decorated soldier from World War II. (yes, a Texan). 
A past time... that needs to make a comeback... for me at least!
I'm not sure how Republicans ever make it into the White House. The media is soooo "two-faced" its rediculous! here are just a few examples.
