Now Watch Out Buster You're Shaking My Prejudices

(Now be honest, was there even one whose heart pumps with the essence of America blood who did not yearn mightily that the dance of the righteous triumph--the Dance of King David himself?  Oh no, not a single one!
In God We Trust is indeed our motto.)

Psalm 30:11-12  (CJB)
11 (10) Hear me, Adonai, and
show me your favor!
Adonai, be my helper!”

12 (11) You turned my mourning into dancing!
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy...

What Happens When Crazies Get Horney off the Declaration of Independence

Jefferson's "original Rough draught" is on exhibit in the Library of Congress.[4] This version was used by Julian Boyd to create a transcript of Jefferson's draft,[5] which reads: "We hold these truths to be sacred [and] undeniable; that all men are created equal [and] independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent [and] inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, [and] liberty, [and] the pursuit of happiness." The Committee of Five edited Jefferson's draft. Their version survived further edits by the whole Congress intact, and reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."[6] 

( Wikipedia )

The law of non-contradiction is a rule of logic. It states that if something is true, then the opposite of it is false. For example, if an animal is a cat, the same animal cannot be not a cat. Or, stated in logic, if +p, then not -p, +p cannot be -p at the same time and in the same sense. The law was stated as a principle of mathematical logic by Russell and Whitehead in Principia Mathematica.[1] ( Wikipedia )

In the Libertarian College at Looney Tunes University the Exalted Supreme Wise and All-Knowing strongly assert equal and independent individuals (like me and maybe you) enjoy the sacred and undeniable fact of absolute Liberty without which life is not worth living and happiness is impossible. They grandly assert that individuals always have free choice—if caught in a corner not unlike the free choice the Nazis graciously provided the Jews (change your DNA or die).

In America the Highly Profitable Sin Enterprise Sector with full complicity of Government holds most fervently and patriotically while fully enraptured within the folds of the American flag that:

EVERY INDIVIDUAL MUST HAVE THE FREE CHOICE AND UNALIENABLE RIGHT to drink freely from a flask of strychnine and to after chase it with a sweeping leap off the roof of a 50 story building.

This De profundis and deeply profound understanding of the free-choice doctrine is reverently and sacredly endorsed and--beyond that--fervently enrooted by passion so pure and intense as to give birth to secret roving rag-tag armed militias (thanks 2nd Amendment) invigorated by the vital spirit and venerable heritage of all the good folks within the KKK.

Something Greater Can Endure ..Henry Kissinger McCain Tribute (Click Here)

(..........than Low Life Scum......says John McCain)

=========================

*******************************

The American President most essentially represents what an American would like to be like—whether quietly alone or in activities with others.  In this regard, it is a false choice--choose one and only one—whether we must choose to be a winner OR rather to play the game justly and fairly.  "Cynic candy" says there is only one way—the cruel way of Me First.  Those historians like Henry Kissinger understand the horrific inexorable returns of Pyrrhic victories.

*********************
cynical  adjective (Collins English Dictionary)

Distrustful or contemptuous of virtue, esp selflessness in others; believing the worst of others, esp that all acts are selfish

Sarcastic; mocking

Showing contempt for accepted standards of behaviour, esp of honesty or morality: the politician betrayed his promises in a cynical way

Graced by Equality

Yet man is born to trouble
as surely as sparks fly upward.

Job 5:7 (NIV)

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I have mentioned in past blogs two nagging conundrums.  One is that introduced by my son’s Imam in one of his addresses at mosque services.  Imam Wilmore Sadiki had recently read a book called Crossing the Road. In summary he reported the book detailed the lives and behaviors of certain key figures in several widely diverse religions.  The thing all these leaders had in common was their proactive determination and willingness to “cross the road” (ideological, experiential, cultural divides) to meet others.  What was the yeast that made such behavior remarkable and powerful?

Marvin Sweat a retired United Methodist minister was well into his 90’s when he and I would run errands on Saturdays.  We often would breakfast in popular restaurants, visit his tailor, stop by his dry cleaner, or shop for groceries at Publix.  Our time together was always filled with my wonderment how he could strike up a conversation with total strangers whom after a few minutes of ice-breaking remarks would be willing to voice for my friend's consideration some major perplexing and/or painful personal challenges. 

This evening Connie and I were having dinner at Kristina's Cafe.  A gracious young waitress named Tia today cracked the riddle that has haunted me for years.

After pulling up a chair to talk with us a minute, Tia contributed the key observation that a sense of equality is spawn from informal, individually focused conversation. At its best, this conversation holds as pure happenstance and irrelevant any lurking hierarchical power while eliciting a compelling sense of mutual equality in which cagey and defensive small-talk rings sour and inappropriate.  Equality becomes well-neigh reflexively the governing tone whose powerful currents permit honesty within a shared vulnerability.

So, at last I now understand the operative factor for Marvin.  It was an impelling sense of shared equality that subliminally communicated “You can trust me…I am a fellow mortal and will not be scandalously shocked nor will I judgmentally shun you aside for voicing your current perplexities.

The Necessity of Long-Term Rewards v The Tom-Foolery of Lusting Casino

The Necessity of Long-Term Rewards v The Tom-Foolery of Lusting Casino

or....Just Why Christmas Is Worth Waiting for ?.....

A long-term perspective encourages a patient and mutual investment in broadly positive, sustaining outcomes; whereas a sufficiently lustful short-term perspective can make us all beady-eyed bandits raping Black Friday Deals for all they're worth.





Matthew 5:43-48  (PHILLIPS)

43-45 “You have heard that it used to be said, ‘You shall love your neighbour’, and ‘hate your enemy’, but I tell you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Heavenly Father. For he makes the sun rise upon evil men as well as good, and he sends his rain upon honest and dishonest men alike.

46-48 For if you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even tax-collectors do that! And if you exchange greetings only with your own circle, are you doing anything exceptional? Even the pagans do that much. No, you are to be perfect, like your Heavenly Father.

Olympian Trump Political Bandits and Sanctimonious Holier-than-Thou Evangelical Snobs--Take Note!

A note or two of patriotism and belief sincerely sung and enlivened by those outside your inbred coiffure hairdo huddles of on-the-cheap and cowardly patriotism and god-laced religiosity:

God as a Mob Boss

Like most folks, my view of Christianity is heavily influenced by my years as a child and youth growing up within local churches.  I must say at the outset that whether in a more rural or municipal setting, discussions of ethics focused upon our direct call to responsibilities as individuals and as Christians.  Whether merchants, teachers, or farmers, the question was always how we could contribute towards realizing a more abundant life in all its dimensions in the broadest possible way.

I knew even then that Christianity could take a turn towards emotional fanaticism—with "End-Timers" being peculiarly suspectable to an ugly indulgence in self-righteousness twisted together with a “burn-baby-burn” mentality towards remaining humanity.  These groups evinced utter confidence that (despite Jesus’s advice that only God knew when that date would come) the End-Time was indeed here, that they themselves were safely within the mob boss's favor, and that all others would writhe in pain and destruction—while they themselves (being in the strong mob boss’s good graces) would reap the rewards of triumphant gang loyalty.

This is totally antithetical to my view of Christian ethics.  We are to serve as a creative and redemptive force often in a very local and specific sense.  But even on the world stage, we are never to exalt in the rending of civilization into smoldering heaps of ashes. We mortals are to do what we can to help advance societal health; and not to gleefully anticipate the suffering retribution of the great-unwashed less-worthy-than-we ourselves.

Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring
Johann Sebastian Bach

Jesus, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
