"How much less one who is detestable and corrupt, Man, who drinks iniquity like water! "
Job 15:16.
Hidden in the picture above are two men who could be said to 'drink iniquity like water'.
It's quite simple-those who seek to please God will always oppose those who seek their own glory
and wish to honor themselves.
Such self-righteous ego driven madmen always seek power.
Such self-righteous ego driven madmen always stifle/defeat opposition.
Such self-righteous ego driven madmen always assume they are right.
Such self-righteous ego driven madmen always reject God.
For your own good, if someone pings your radar as such a "S.R.E.D.M." do the right thing and stand in
opposition to him/her.
You'll be glad you did once his/her egotistical house of cards comes tumbling down. Beat the crowds and start early.

I was just perusing a tumblr account which detailed WWII photos from sources on both sides of the war. I hadn't seen a lot of Nazi/Axis pictures before, and it was interesting.
Of course, people being idiots, someone called out the Tumblr owner as a Neo-Nazi when it was clear that the owner is anything but-she is a history buff, and quite good at putting a blog together.
As for this post, let me just say that anyone who seeks power is suspect,no matter the political affiliation.
One side should govern in such a way that they would be comfortable if the other side were in power.
Meaning this: don't cede any authority to a Democrat that it would be to see a Republican wielding.
And whoever is in power, keep them honest. If you don't lie, don't accept their lies. If you don't steal, oppose their thefts.
You might not win, but you will sleep better knowing you tried.
You do realize that George Bush authorized warrantless wire-taps and pushed the very Patriot Act that made this all possible, yes?
How is that different?
You do realize, James, that George Bush was a saint compared to President Obama?
The problem isn't and never was the Patriot Act-and if you check your facts, you will discover that the idea of 'warrant-less wire taps' didn't happen on his watch.
But of course, I can't argue against opinion with facts, so there you go.
President Obama is the most corrupt politician to hold the White house since Clinton.
His over-reach regarding political powers is one of the Hitler-like facets I was writing about.
Also Hitler-like is his attempt to control the press, to censure opposition.
During the Bush years you could be as vocal as you liked concerning your displeasure about the president. These days to speak out against the president might just get you in serious trouble-just ask the Tea party groups that were targeted concerning their tax status.
I just think that bringing up Hitler - who was responsible for the rounding up and torturous deaths of millions of people - is beyond a stretch. It's also offensive to Jews who actually had to deal with this level of persecution.
You do realize that the entire US government is not under the control of Obama, yes? The IRS has its own ideologues, some conservative, some not. The Army has its Christian ideologues as well as atheist fanatics.
In fact, I'd be amazed if any US President had that level of control or influence over every government enterprise (Republican OR Democrat).
Points taken, James...and rejected.
Hitler and Obama have more similarities than you would ever accept.
" It's also offensive to Jews who actually had to deal with this level of persecution."
I don't see how it could be offensive to Jews more than everyone else-Hitler targeted the Jews, driven by hatred. But he also targeted the entire world that did not meet his standard for humanity.
He silenced opposition through political power and if you don't think the President Obama is capable of doing the same, then we will have to agree to disregard each other's opinions about President Obama. Happens on the internets a billion times an hour.
James, remember how little you esteemed President Bush? How you thought that he was corrupt and lying and who knows what else?
I'm right with you, brother-that's how greatly I mistrust President Obama.
James, I know that as a Liberal you must identify peoples only as parts of groups, but not all Jewish people would be offended by what I wrote about Hitler/Obama.
Check out Mark Levin sometime.
The IRS looked for groups with "tea party" or "patriot" in their names. They also looked for groups with "occupy" or "progressive" in their names. They were looking for political groups masquerading as social-welfare groups to get privileged tax status. In other words, doing their job.
False, Lu, and I think you know that.
It wasn't 'business as usual', as has already been brought out in hearings in which it was claimed that the abuses happened because of 'low level employees'.
In other words,the IRS admits that the abuses happened, but it wasn't policy, it was merely disgruntled employees.
Who have not been identified or punished.
For your consideration:
http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2013/06/27/Treasury-IRS-targeted-292-Tea-Party-Groups-Just-6-Left-wing-Groups
Assuming that the Breitbart site has its facts straight, might that be because more conservative political groups are trying to get tax-exempt status?
Some of these groups are trying to weasel out of paying their fair share of taxes. Funny how you're all for that, but you get bent out of shape at the thought that somewhere in America, some poor person might get an extra dollar's worth of undeserved food stamps.
And do you hear no distant clang of cognitive dissonance when posting on a public blog that Obama = Hitler, because Obama allegedly stifles dissent? Please see your doctor, Doug: you have the worst case of irony deficiency I've ever seen.
" Funny how you're all for that, but you get bent out of shape at the thought that somewhere in America, some poor person might get an extra dollar's worth of undeserved food stamps."
Lu, are your sure that your prejudices against Conservatives haven't colored your assumptions?
I don't recall ever commenting about poor people and food stamps, but if I did, please let me know which post of mine is evidence of such nefarious evil.
Want to hear a funny, Lu?
By just about any standard you can come up with, I am basically poor.
My net worth, counting everything, and I mean EVERYTHING...is less than the price of a new car. So why would I have anything against poor people? The problem isn't with me, Lu, but in your flawed assumptions as to what Conservatism is all about. We're not hateful, treading down the down trodden. We simply look at people as individuals, each personally responsible for their own welfare, rather than assuming that all peoples fall into groups, some of whom need special rules/laws/benefits to level some imaginary 'playing field'.
As for cognitive dissonance, Lu, there is none on my end. Your entire world view is based on the idea that I am wrong about most things. If I'm right, then you are wrong, and you aren't willing to accept that. So of course you reject that there are similarities between Obama and Hitler. I can't ask you to look at data objectively, as the Liberal world view is Subjective-you won't see what you want to ignore.
shrugs
Please don't misread this comment as being angry-I'm actually in a pretty good mood as I just got off work and am heading to bed soon.
Hmmmm...would Eric Holder be the present day Goering or Goebbels?
true story-I once bought a car from a great grand niece of THE Herman Goering. It was a Volkswagon.
Volkswagon, or 'Folks wagon' came about because Hitler nationalized the German auto industry. Obama merely had the government take over GM so right, no similarity.
Your entire world view is based on the idea that I am wrong about most things.
OK, I admit it, you are right. How I survived before learning of your existence I do not know.
