Personal thoughts

[williamlayton]

These are my own personal thoughts. Not really looking for agreements or disagreements. I am just throwing them out for thought. Ponder on em.
Our political system is an ongoing construction project. It is continually evolving, an while it is hard for me, cause i'm older than dirt and take change less easily than I once did, it is necessary.
Really, it must be that way. Our youngones are living in a different world than we grew up in, just as we lived in a different world than our parents. I remember they were real unhappy with the way we looked at things, thought we didn't have the sense God gave a turnip. Lordy, they may have been right, well, in my case anyway.
Folks, this government we have is not perfect, mainly cause we arn't. It may have been loosly based on, UNDER GOD, but tha folks that said it were certainly flawed.
We have now two entrenched political parties. These parties are guided by God knows who, I defy anyone to find this out. They are selfserving people whose only desire is their own personal agenda. They have a plan for theirownselves which does not include the good of this nation.
These folks do not give a whit about the citizens of this nation. They throw out agenda which seems like good stuff but is meaningless. Kind of like throwing a bone to a dog to keep him from growling.
Some folks eat these bones thinking they are from folks that care. They do it to appease, not to futher the good of this nation but to use this nation for their own good.
This is not new stuff folks, check out all history. Now, under our system, there is a way to change this. It is called Democratic revolution, the polling place, voting.
The thing that must happen is to find good folks, not tied to political agenda, good thinkers, statesmen. strong God fearing men and women who have the backbone to stand against the pressure of personal gain.
I have no doubt it is possible, I have all kinda doubts that it is gonna happen.
Were you looking for something novel, some great earth shaking revalation? Sorry folks, it is much too simple.

William;
      Truly, in the end, there is only one in whom we can place "full faith and trust".

    See: I Peter 5:7

[MATLOCK12C]

You raised some great points there.  :wink:
It seems everybody has an agenda there pushing down our throte's.  :evil:
It used to be an honorable profession.
To be a lawyer, now the title is sinomious with crook, ambulance chaser, or worse.
Very few of our elected officials have dignity, honor, or ethics of there predecessors.
When a guy spends a million or two for a Senate, or Congressional seat that only pays a couple hundred thousand something is wrong with that! :x
These guys are little more than prostitutes selling there vote to the highest bidder, or campaign contributor.
How can they say that they vote independently when some guy or group gave them so much to get elected in the first place? :?
I guess ya just have to vote for the lesser of two evils sometimes, you know Republican!  :shock:

Good responses, whether or not ya gree with me.
Ironglow- i have to agree with you on this :oops:  :grin: . The concern I have is our seemingly forgetfulness in who we are dependent on. What we are talking about here is a political process, or mans way of problem solving. Our ways are flawed and incomplete, futile would be better word.
We better turn from trying to do it our way and figure it out for ourownselves and turn back to Christ Jesus. In the end this whole plan of ours, read- the world, is going to crash. This thought includes the USA, and I think/hope it is soon.
