Care and Care Alike
Disasters such as Hurricane Isaac reminds us to consider whether we should be a country that comes to the rescue when people are in trouble, or if this should be a place where the rule is the survival of the fittest and those who suffer are on their own.

Coal miners say they were forced to attend Romney event and donate | The Raw Story
Apparantly the only way they can "fill the seats" is to threaten the employees and then take money away from them for complying. Is this a foreshadowing of the type of dictatorship we can expect?
A group of coal miners in Ohio feel they would have been fired if they did not attend an Aug. 14 event with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and contribute to his campaign — and to make matters worse, they lost of day of pay for their trouble.

Paul Ryan was for stimulus spending before he was against stimulus spending
Was Paul Ryan lying then, or is he lying now? Either way, he's a loser. It seems to prove that he and the rest of the Republican party is all about obstructionism.

As if Mitt wasn’t bad enough! | BlogsCanada.ca
This is shared from a sometimes political blogger that I follow from Canada
http://allans-perspective.blogspot.com/2012/08/as-if-mitt-wasnt-bad-enough.html
Since the United States is so important to our well being and peace of mind here in Canada, your hard working reporter sent the Perspective Research Department team out to find the latest poop on Mitt Romney’s new running mate……………… and it don’t look good, kids!
1. His economic plan would cost America 1 million jobs in the first year. Ryan’s proposed budget would cripple the economy. He’d slash spending deeply, which would not only slow job growth, but shock the economy and cost 1 million of us our jobs in 2013 alone and kill more than 4 million jobs by the end of 2014.[1]
2. He’d kill Medicare. He’d replace Medicare with vouchers for retirees to purchase insurance, eliminating the guarantee of health care for seniors and putting them at the mercy of the private insurance industry. That could amount to a cost increase of more than $5,900 by 2050, leaving many seniors broke or without the health care they need. He’d also raise the age of eligibility to 67.[2]
3. He’d pickpocket the middle class to line the pockets of the rich. His tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. He wants to cut taxes by $4.6 trillion over the next decade, but only for corporations and the rich, like giving families earning more than $1 million a year a $300,000 tax cut. And to pay for them, he’d raise taxes on middle- and lower-income households and butcher social service programs that help middle- and working-class Americans.[3]

National Day Of Intolerance
It’s not easy to get behind the so-called “Chick-fil-A National Day Of Intolerance.” The response to Dan Cathy’s statement is confusing to me. Whether or not you agree with them, how are his conservative Christian views news?
Dedicating a day to shove a chicken sandwich in the face of your enemies doesn’t seem like a very Jesus-like thing to do.
If love for Jesus is at the heart of this “appreciation day”, which I think is the case, then the church’s response to their perceived persecution should be more like Jesus’ responses when he was persecuted or when he saw others persecuted.
He ate with them, talked with them, healed them, defended them, and when that didn’t work, he died for them.
Shoving it in their face just doesn’t seem like the response of the Jesus who said “turn the other cheek.” Even if you strongly disagree with gay marriage, the response Jesus expects from you is clear: love them.
Frankly, Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day just doesn’t seem very loving to me. It seems a lot more like a battle to prove who’s right and who’s wrong.
For Christian, the battle over truth has already been fought and won in the death and resurrection of Jesus. He doesn’t need you to refight that battle. He needs you to love your enemies and pray for those who you perceive to be wrong.
