Biden, Castle and Signs

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

This is a note originally posted at Facebook describing some recent political events in Delaware:

Thurman Adams and Joe Biden weren’t likely political soul mates. Adams was a gentlemanly old style Southern Democrat. A social conservative vexing the liberals in the northern reaches of Delaware, the powerful State Senator died last week. Biden offered a eulogy at Saturday’s funeral. I didn’t go. It isn’t personal. The redhead’s grass hadn’t been mowed in almost two weeks because of our unexpected monsoon season and I only met Adams on one occasion. No disrespect intended and I offered my respects to the man’s family during my radio show.

An acquaintance did attend and Tuesday telephoned me with news of what he labels a gaffe. Biden was reminiscing during his eulogy. The American born Biden explained it wasn’t easy as an Irish-Catholic to get elected to the U.S. Senate from Delaware in 1972. Biden often works to portray Delaware as Philadelphia, Mississippi in 1964 and ignores the fact political power is actually concentrated in New Castle County, Delaware, which is a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Biden then looked at the Adams family and said it’s like running for office as a “black convert Jew”.

My acquaintance was seated with friends. He is roughly the color of President Obama. He voted for the Obama-Biden ticket. He wasn’t pleased by what he views as a condescending, stupid and racist remark. Recently elected to his local school board, my acquaintance is growing very disillusioned with the rampant socialization of his country.

You know, I may have learned about this earlier but I had a rare three day weekend from work. None of which was spent on rest and relaxation. Yard work Saturday and a shopping trip Sunday and Monday I went to New Castle County, where I was a guest of a local Republican club being built on new internet technology. I came home late, went to bed after 12:30 A.M. Tuesday and by 10:00 A.M. was showered, shaved and dressed to meet an old Castle. Cap and Tax Castle, Republican Representative Mike Castle is one of the 8 members of his party jumping ship last week on a plan to put the final coffin nail into my country’s economy.

He was holding a town meeting and I carried two signs with me. “China thanks Mike Castle” read one and the other “Malevolent Mike”. He saw only the first and asked if I was representing China. Then he dashed into the meeting to see more than 200 people waiting for him. About 6 were there asking him to support socialized medicine. The rest to suggest he retire. Mr. Castle may run next year in a special election to fill the last four years of Mr. Biden’s U.S. Senate term.

I’ve now heard GOP reaction to Mr. Castle’s vote on both ends of my state. He may no longer have much support. His most recent vote isn’t an aberration.

Castle still has a few friends. There are people who moved here from Annapolis and Washington to open pottery shops, however. Firing pottery requires a great deal of generated energy. Here’s a suggestion, put down the clay, pick up a sign and join me in the effort to retire the guy.

Susan Boyle

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Susan Boyle is God’s messenger.

 

A writer at the Boston Globe named Paulson asks us why Boyle has touched so many people around the planet.  He admits to his worries about the demise of his paper but is transfixed by the You Tube video of Boyle singing on television.  M. Paulson quotes theologians and wants your thoughts on why Boyle is important to all of us. 

 

The theologians have it right but I’ll go beyond.  Boyle is God’s message.  She has lived quietly and unassumingly for almost 50 years in Scotland in preparation for our times.  The Globe writer fears for his job.  There are food riots around the world.  The Chinese have eaten our lunch.  Newsweek charges Americans have given up on God. 

 

Then comes a humble Scot and we are moved from our self pity and shaken by the voice.  By Friday I stumbled across a ten year old recording of Boyle singing.  Tears formed in my eyes. 

 

Boyle’s voice is God telling us, “Be not afraid”. 

President I am that I am

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

So the plumber isn’t named Joe? It’s his middle name. No surprise here. We aren’t allowed to speak middle names in this campaign. The name which can’t be spoken, familiar to people of faith, which means the candidate, will now be known as “I am that I am”. When you go and vote tell them “I am” has sent you.

I’ve been putting together some strings of ideas. A story on NPR told me the world financial system was now so complex we need to be part of international regulation of the markets. U.S. sovereignty will be surrendered to a new world financial order. Days before I read a report from a U.N. committee. It recommends that meat be rationed to 2 servings a week in order to provide equally for all people of this world. Considering much of the world eats very little meat the paper targets the industrialized world or primarily English and French speaking North America. You’ll need a U.N. card for grocery shopping.

The same report also urges prohibition of alcohol. Apparently brewing cold beer takes food from the mouths of children in Bangladesh. Since we can’t be trusted to do the “right thing” the world government will reshape our conscience. Don’t object or you’ll lose the ration card and be left with an empty rice bowl.

How convenient for the globalists the financial panic. For many years I’ve derided conspiracy theorists who spoke of a currency called the Amero, the North American Super Highway and Washington’s submission to the United Nations. Now I’m starting to take these claims seriously.

Which candidate most likely to assume the White House would take us in this direction? Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden are primary sponsors of the “global tax”. Nearly one trillion dollars would be funneled overseas in an effort to end poverty (Apparently no one before has ever thrown money this direction). We’ll also need a trillion or so for single payer health care. We’ll control costs by limiting what your doctor can earn. You may remember surgeons in the Soviet Union often were paid less than construction crews. Not to disparage blue collar workers but your doctor has years of student loans on the books.

Unless of course you make education “free” and control teacher pay. This should only cost the treasury a trillion or trillion and one half. With a national debt expected to reach 11 trillion dollars next year you’re probably worried the national credit card will be maxed pretty soon. Not to worry, the Chinese have agreed to continue financing the debt as long as we agree to worldwide control of financial markets and ultimately subject our government and the will of the people to control of a world body. It’s all so easy but for the United States Constitution. No need to worry, Obama will appoint Justices who’ll smooth the rough edges. He owes the Chinese, my friends, they’ve bankrolled his campaign.

Lastly, you’ve likely heard President Obama and his Congressional friends, riding a rising tide in both houses plan to put the Fairness Doctrine back in place. Effectively silencing talk radio hosts nationally and at the local level who may dare tell you “I am that I am” is a false God.
