Quite often I’m relieved to remember I don’t work for the Bishop or the DS.

You mean that “Vital Congrecations” isn’t the way to grow churches? What would your Bishop and DS say? (Spoken with tongue firmly in cheek.)

Comment on Increasing Executive Power by thomas

The Constitutionally unwarranted use of executive power by the current resident of the white house to advance an illegitimate party agenda is a clear and present danger facing this nation. In consequence elected representatives and law abiding citizens are fully justified in using every means to oppose the imposition of and render ineffective and neuter a mere party agenda as national policy.

It is irrational to expect these elected representatives and citizens acting for the good of the nation to be restricted to only a Constitutional process while the opposition obeys or ignores as convenient that process.

Yeah, Bob. Do your best to put a good face on it all!

Comment on About the Rand Paul Filibuster by thomas

thomas — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:20:29 +0000

Senator Paul is to be commended for his actions of the other day in conducting a filibuster in opposition of a illegitimate expansion of federal executive power contrary to the COTUS. His commitment to Constitutional process is his characteristic routine. The nation would be much better off if the rest of the members of the house and senate acted with the same respect for the COTUS.

The normal manner of filibuster has changed. That is fine. Clinging to old outdated methods such as requiring that everyone sit and listen to routine motions, etc. that are irrelevant to the life of the nation rather than taking advantage of modern communication devices, etc. is equivalent to insisting that everyone ride in buggies on the interstate highway. Elected representatives are not put in office to style for the cameras. Voters put them in office to govern.

The use of filibuster as well as other means of blocking efforts to advance the agenda of an administration that is found objectionable by the voters of this nation is to be commended. It forces the administration to negotiate which is a necessary part of governing. It prevents that administration from simply “ruling.”

Well, isn’t that nice!! I saw some daffodil shoots popping out of the recently snow-covered earth. But come summer, when you’re suffering from 100% humidity, we’ll be living the good life!

Comment on State of Income Inequality in the United States by Erin

Obviously, my good man “x”, you don’t have a clue who Henry is or you would never have made such a verbose assumption.

Henry, count me in on your “discussion.” I can’t promise any essays on my part, but I’d like read what others think.

Obviously, my good man, you have simply been overcome by the demon of envy. The wealth of t he rich and blessed man contributes to the welfare of all, he spends far more than you, and his largesse trickles down upon us all, a great shower of gold, as it were; for which all lesser men, mindful of their proper station, rightly profess great joy and gratitude.
Indeed the smaller craft are buoyed up by the waves engendered by the mighty, too great to fail, who serve not many masters, but in their wisdom but one alone, the mighty Self by which all wealth was made. Tax not the rich, and thereby add to their burdens, and speak not in thy jealousy of income redistribution.
