beautiful. like the song says.
i have to rant a lil bit today. over the last nine months i have heard how lazy the unemployed are, how the people on welfare are drug using parasites, how THESE people ruin our country.
well it hurts! i was unemployed and taking food stamps....and by far i am not lazy or a parasite. now i know that these statements were not directed at me personally and they are opinions. but what is amazing is that THOSE people never take into account that most of US people do not want to be where we are. the opinions run amok but no one offers a cure to this ailing system. that is why it is abused because it is broken.
no one including the elected officials have done a thing to fix our economy...well other than bail out the crooks that destroyed it with their greed. what happened to helping the common man. those of us that bust our asses daily to provide a decent life and opportunity for our families.
now what really gets me are these wonderful people in our country called christians, not all but the mouth breathing mindless sheep that only listen to what men tell them....didn't jesus talk about charity and compassion? didn't he say to feed the hungry and clothe the naked? oh but what some people like to do is pick and choose the verses and say that it is the WILLING that deserve it....hmmmm strange that is a reference to those in the church who would benefit from the church. that does not include the masses that live outside the church. that makes charity conditional, but i am pretty sure Jesus' love, charity, compassion and forgiveness are unconditional.
so if you feel insulted by this, please take a good look in the mirror....oh and go out and help a homeless person. donate some clothes to a shelter. do something charitable....never know when it could be you.
