You are The Boss... which team would you hire?
With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, bad foreign relations, etc., this is an unusually critical election year. Let's look at the educational background of your two options:

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a specialization in international Relations.
Harvard Law School - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899

& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - Journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire ?

In order to make their candidate more marketable, the McCain camp is lobbying hard for Obama to meet McCain in Town Hall settings. They are hungry for this because Obama will make McCain look good. Why? Because they know that his resume is puny and that of his Vice Presidential nominee is just as scanty. Stay away from him Obama and may God help us!

This morning I was cleaning out some old files on my computer and look what I found buried among tidbits of wisdom? I found some eviudence that McCain is in deeper trouble than he knows by even invoking the name "Bush." Read it O Faithful and weep for the Religious Right.


“Bush” in Biblical Prophecy:A discovery of the meaning of the name

By


Kenneth R. Adderley, PhD, M. Div., M.A.


This morning I received the shock of my literary life while reading my bible in daily meditation. The effect was so great that I felt compelled to record my discovery. For more than two years (since late 2005 when the Bush Republican Administration went to great lengths to deny that a civil war was occurring in Iraq, even calling upon the Religious Right for its support) the Religious Right, which had stood solidly behind its presidential candidate began to say that they felt betrayed, and were “ashamed” by the Presidential pronouncements. Today, there is a message from the Lord, which has been in my hands for more than 20 years and in Scripture for thousands.

The passage in Isaiah 1:18-20 has become one of the most read passages within Christianity and Judaism for the purpose of calling sinners to repentance. However, I have not heard anyone in 30 years read, concentrate or explain any of the verses between Isaiah 1: 21-31.

“Zion shall be redeemed with judgment and her converts with righteousness. And the destruction of the transgressors and of sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed. For they shall be ashamed . . .” Isa. 1:27-29

The number for the Hebrew word translated “ashamed” is 954, which I promptly looked up in the Strong’s Greek-English Dictionary and Lexical Aids to the Old Testament at the back of my Bible. The word is “Bush" (buwsh = boosh)! Following is the explanation cited word for word for this scholarly research:


954. Buwsh(boosh)-Bush: to be ashamed, to feel ashamed, to be confounded, to make ashamed, to keep waiting, to deceive, to act shamefully; to disgrace. This is a root meaning “to become pale” or “to blush.” When failure or sin occurs, there is a disconcerting feeling, a flushing of the face. The word often occurs in contexts of humiliation and shattered human emotions. It is the feeling of public disgrace. Bush is the confusion, embarrassment, or dismay when things do not turn out as expected. The idea of shame of an utter defeat pervades the mood. Disillusionment and a broken spirit follow (Ezra 9:6; Isa. 1:29; 30:5; Jer. 2:36; 9:19). The opposite meaning is trusting God (Isa. 29:22; Joel 2:26, 27; Zeph. 3:11). There is a strong connotation of guilt (Jer. 6:15; Ezek. 16:63).”

While it is common knowledge that a Hebrew word may have multiple meanings, of considerable interest should be the meanings “to deceive” “to act shamefully” “to disgrace.” In addition, please notice that “it is a feeling of public disgrace” and also that “the opposite meaning is trusting God.” Does this mean that the Religious Right was deceived into supporting this candidate, and subsequently became disillusioned and ashamed? Mine is not to judge or conclude, but rather to report the findings of true research as a “research professor.”

Working women in Iowa are rejecting the Right-Wing Sophistry of McCain’s so-called “maverick,” “barracuda,” or “attack dog” as some refer to Sarah Palin. If this growing attitude is any indication of the national tone, then John McCain’s attempt to deceive 190 million working-class women will backfire upon the GOP. The Republicans have brought a serious economic situation upon us, but are deliberately lying in order to get back in power. They have opened a smelling mess of slime, which degrades everything McCain’s patriotism was supposed to show. The stench of this sophistry demands that some heads must roll from the McCain’s Camp because many White Christian women of Iowa are rejecting the post-convention rhetoric.

Sarah Palin said she told Congress “thanks, but no thanks.” But she took the money anyway. It matters not that Congress may have directed her to use the millions for something else. The point is she took the money; and by taking the money, it is a bold-faced lie to say “I told them thanks but no thanks.” That clever reasoning suggested to the not-so-astute that she gave back the millions offered for “the bridge to nowhere.” But she took the money, she didn’t send it back.

Sarah Palin says she is a Christian-a member of the family of Christ. As such, she must know that the outward appearance of a human being does not reveal what is in the heart. And as a good Christian Sarah Palin should have read the words of Jesus in Matthew 23:28, which says: “Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”

Sorry McCain, you need to fire the slime ball who is putting out this stuff. The ads stink, and even Republicans are outraged at the Karl Rove-like garbage. Don’t worry . . . God is Just and He will defend the right.

McCain and GOP are “Ole” for Sure!

McCain is old . . . and his vision for America is not only reactionary it is looking old more and more each day. Consider this fact. America has only 3% of the world’s oil reserves, but we consume 25% of the world’s output. McCain says every day that only he is “ready to lead” and that he can solve our energy problems by drilling. He charges Obama with not being “ready to lead” and one who talks without action and lacks judgment.

Obama has consistently called for alternative sources of energy to get off the Oil bandwagon, and went out on a limb during the Primaries to say that drilling would save less than a dollar for a tank of gas. John McCain went to town and called Obama all kinds of names saying that he has bad judgment and is not “ready to lead.” But, by his own words and actions, McCain proves that he and his Grand Ole Party (GOP) are just that. They are “ole” in the true sense of the word. If you want to see what the world is doing, click on the YouTube link. You will see how “Ole” he and his party are, because before Palin gets to spend one year drilling for the Oil in Alaska, the oil which Dick Chaney coveted in secret, the world will be driving on water and laughing Americans and their Grand Ole Party to scorn. What leadership? They shouldn’t even use the word.

The day after Sarah Palin basked in the accolades that labeled her McCain’s Barracuda, a notable GOP representative said that she is Presidential material because he saw her eating ice cream with her children and that’s the kind of thing hockey moms like, because it prooves that she likes children and are good with them. The not-so-subtle inference is that all the hockey moms, soccer moms and football moms will vote Republican because Sarah Palin is their Christian role model. Is she? Or would other words like “hypocrisy” and “bigotry” invite a deeper scrutiny to this hockey mom's Christianity?

For example, what gives Sarah Palin the right to attack Barack Obama as though he has never done or said anything of value? Christians don’t do that. Also, it seems that the Christian Sarah Palin does not care that 600,000 people lost their jobs already this year according to today’s figures; but, you know what, Obama cares. It is also evident that Sarah Palin does not care that 290 million Americans make far less than a quarter of a million ($250,000) per year; but, you know what, Obama cares. It seems that Sarah Palin does not care that hundreds of thousands of American children go to bed hungry each night, but Obama cares. Sarah Palin does not care anything about giving billions more to her oil cronies and gouging poor hard working Americans in order to do it, but Obama cares. Apparently, Sarah Palin has a different Bible from the one the rest of us use, because the Word from God’s Son named Jesus was that “inasmuch as you didn’t do it unto the least of these ye did it not to me.” What will Sarah Palin tell Jesus when He judges the world (John 5:22)? Will this Christian mom who admits to being a member of Christ's family say “John McCain made me do it?”

I ask that all true Christians, who know the Son and are filled with His Holy Spirit, to pray earnestly that God would bless Sarah Palin and grant her repentance so that if she makes the White House she would frustrate the conspiracy of those who have planned to make us slaves to a Machiavellian oligarchy. Pray for Sarah, the Christian, to be more gracious and show the kind of class only statesmen and stateswomen have. The kind of class that allows Barack Obama to ignore the pernicious attacks, talk about the issues Americans face, and still refrain from uttering one negative word against McCain’s character.

McCain and the Republicans want power, and everyone knows that Lord Acton’s thought about absolute power and corruption was correct. Sarah Palin and John McCain want the people to forget about the Abrahamoff scandal and his Republican conspirators. They want the people to forget that Halliburton charged us more than $600 for a screw and paid some 6 million dollars to avoid court trials. They want us to forget that the Republicans blatantly lied to keep thousands of Blacks from voting in Florida with a fake felony list, but they settled out of court for a million dollars 2 years later. So it is clear that our Christian mom, Sarah Palin, is Dick Chaney’s replacement, since she was tagged as the best one to control the flow of information in the McCain White House. It will be breathtaking and painfully sad to see Sarah Palin on TV pontificating to the women who were duped to vote for her and MCCain while the soccer moms beat their heads trying to figure out what to cook for starving children.

But have no fear, the intelligent Sarah Palin, who has cornered the market on all that is good and nice, is set to follow McCain and break a few dishes in Washington. But what hypocrisy? Out of his own mouth this so-called maverick acknowledged voting with Bush and for Bush’s policies 90% of the time. Does this mean that the 10% earned him the title of “maverick?” And does this mean that he and Sarah Palin will reform Washington enough so that 290 million of us working people will get a fair share of America’s pie? If not, is it bigotry? Or is it hypocrisy? Or is it both? Only Sarah Palin can answer that question because she is the new kid on the block with all the answers, especially since she has never been this way before. Even so, come Lord Jesus and bring the light which needs to shine in this dark place; or better yet, will all Christians who like TRUTH please stand up?

Sarah Palin to reform the Republican Party? That is the worst hoax yet that the GOP wants to foist upon ignorant Americans.

Even God has been trying for the last 12 years to send them a message. And even one who claimed to have an inside track with all the help of the so-called Compassionate Conservatives plus starry-eyed Evangelicals failed miserably. That Born-Again One failed so badly that not only did he not reform the GOP but allowed the messiest of scandals yet to occur on his watch. Abrahamoff might be in jail and the American may have forgotten, but his cronies are still running around at large. And by the way, by God's standards, someone should still go to jail for all of the lies and the deliberate misleadings. How quickly Americans allow one slight of hand like Mccain's quick apologies and his campaigns' kitchen-sink strategy followed by saint-like denial of the obvious to dupe them into a sophorific slumber.

Good Luck Sarah! Unless you know the Creator of this Planet, who has a Son named Jesus, and unless you quickly and sincerely champion the cause of poor people making less than $250,000 per year, you may be heaping coals of fire upon your own head. God had Elijah who stood against Ahab and Jezebel, and you can be certain that He has someone now.
