BBQ Stains

Politicians claim people must continue sending them back to Washington DC, or their district/voters risk losing out on the cash cow they can bring back. This is their promise and they make it regularly. Send me back, over and over again, and I will bring other peoples money here. This is their argument because they cannot claim to be decent and honest people worthy of such position and power.

Imagine if that was really true. In a sense it is true, politicians pass legislation that brings massive amounts of pork to all districts all across the land, this is what they do. No one is getting skipped when it comes to pork. They all have BBQ stains on their business suits from handling all that pork. But I want to look at the people making these promises and why in the world you would consider supporting them.

Politicians in Washington DC, nearly to a man/woman, are unable to find employment outside of Mordor on the Potomac. To rise to the level of politics they are in, they have so corrupted their souls, they are unemployable. When you see them you can see the sickness of their souls leaking out under the makeup. They cannot be trusted outside of that bubble, because they have ceased to know a difference between lies and truth. For these people, information and data is only valuable to sway opinion; there is no truth, which is their truth.

If you own your own business, would you pay a politician to manage your books? Do you really think they would be able to keep their hands out of the till? Would you trust them to close and lock the doors? You already know that as soon as you left them alon they would invite all their friends over to ransack your business.

Would you leave your wife or children alone in their presence when they have been found seriously lacking in moral clarity? Only a fool would trust these people with anything, yet voters listen to their argument that they are needed because if they keep being sent back, they will eventually get put on a good committee and gain even greater access to pork, which they promise will result in a landslide of money.

This is your system of governance and every time you vote or even talk about them, you give them power over your life.

These people are walking scandals. They use threats of loss of future payments of other peoples money as the primary argument for keeping them in Washington DC. Please ignore the fact they can do nothing else, except work within that bubble, because they are so compromised no one would employ them outside of it.

They promise to give you, the voter, more of other peoples money, if you agree to keep sending them back. Have you ever thought of this? Do you want someone who promises to strong arm someone else, under threat of violence, to bring a bag of cash bag to your area. Have you ever considered how wrong and ugly that is? Let alone the fact you will never see that money, but their local friends will and they will use it for kickbacks back to the politician. You are not within that loop, but your vote enables it.

So tell me again Christian, why are you voting for these people? Hold on for a minute Christian, tell me again why you are voting at all. Taking money from people under the threat of violence is a sin. It is theft. Voting for someone else who promises to do it does not absolve you of the sin. You are fully complicit in the crime.

Selling favors for promises of future thefts is a sin. Where in the Bible is this OK? Tell me Christian, you would not want these people around your dinner table, let alone speaking and giving instruction to your children, but you will vote for them because they promise to steal more from others to replace that which is stolen from you? Oh by the way, every politician in every other district is making the same claims to your wallet that your politician is making to theirs.

You do not see the error in this? I bet you think of voting at the same level as taking communion and being baptized. You have been suckered!

What if you did not support them. What if no politician was ever given a second ride on that merry go round? Would it impact their ability to gain and hold power and sway over industry and business? Would they be able to act as a block to take away liberty as easily as they do now? What need would there be for taxation if those promising money for nothing lost the ability to take it and give it away because it was left at home in the first place?

Peter wrote, "The end of all thing is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins..."

Why are you getting your clothes and psyche sullied by messing with politics and those who make promises with stolen wealth when the Kingdom of God is at hand? Leave the smelly dogs outside and the pigs in their pens. Stop sleeping in and with them. They do not warrant your time, outside of trying to reach them evangelistically. Politicians are scoundrels and their laws are corrupt. You will find no peace in them. Stop voting and asking them to give you back your rights they stole and suppressed in the first place.

Come out of her. Babylon is fallen. Don't get caught under a building when it topples.
