GINGRICH FLUBS FACTS….AGAIN, etc.

Posted on January 24, 2012 by editor
ETCWASHINGTON (AP) — Newt Gingrich called rival Mitt Romney a “terrible historian” but flubbed his own history in Congress on Monday night when he claimed the nation ran four consecutive budget surpluses during his time as House speaker. Romney attacked Gingrich’s financial links to Freddie Mac while ignoring his own.
The accusations were fast out of the gate in the latest Republican presidential debate, and reality got tromped in the process.
A look at some of claims and how they compare with the facts:
___
GINGRICH: “When I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets.”
THE FACTS: Actually, two.
 
The four straight years of budget surpluses were 1998 through 2001. Gingrich left Congress in 1999, so he only had a hand in surpluses for his last two years. The budget ran deficits for his first two years as speaker.
The highest surplus of that four-year string came in budget year 2000, after Gingrich was out of office.

STILL MISSING REVOLUTION OF 2,000 YRS

Posted on January 8, 2012 by editor
If you are seeking for more of the ETERNAL FORCE THAT CREATED AND IS CREATING AND CARING FOR ALL GOOD THINGS THROUGH THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THIS “ETERNAL SPIRITUAL I AM“, HE IS ALREADY LIVING WITHIN YOU. Some of you are already experiencing it. IF NOT, NEED A VERSE?
 
“Don’t waste your time about when, who, or what may happen; THE KINGDOM OF GOD, HEAVEN, I AM, etc. ALREADY LIVES IN AND THROUGH YOU TO CONTINUE TO LOVE AND CARE FOR ALL CREATION AND THAT WITHIN” (luke 17:21).
 
Also, “But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you” (John 16:17 and ff). We all have doubts. Jesus was human and confused when he asked on the cross: “MY GOD, MY GOD! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?” Jesus died and went on to be with the Holy Spirit and now lives in us.
 
After 2,000 yrs many people still worship the Bible as the word of God, instead of understanding that the Spirit of God lives within us and wants us to seek His guidance in truth and worship. So, what are we to do? Are we to stay in the first grade with those 66 books as the words of God, or as a history of what the writers thought about who their gods were? No more excuses: We are to sense, feel, seek after the Eternal Spirit in our hearts, not in an outdated misunderstood 66 books. We are now told and sense that the Holy Spirit wants to teach us new things about ourselves and the one and Only true ETERNAL SPIRIT as Jesus has done and wants us to do.
___________________________________________________
 
There has been a shift in many religious groups historically where people followed after a person who was telling them new things about hope that they had never heard before. The true hero kept telling the followers that he was only human, but believed in things never heard before. There crowds grew larger to the point where the people in power saw the hero as a threat to their religion or way of living. They begin following the crowd, questioning this hero whose answers threatened them. So they plotted to kill the hero by using some of his wayward followers to find out his journeys and a proper time to kill him. As the threats increased the hero became afraid and stated that he must leave. But, as usual, the hero waited too long and was slaughtered, stoned, crucified, etc. Of course, the faithful followers began to hide to avoid being murdered. They began to have visions and hear new things about their hero, but to no avail.
 
However, there is one hero that is unique: Jesus. Although he didn’t believe in the divinity of Jesus, Thomas Jefferson believed that the ethical system of Jesus was the finest the world has ever seen.
 
ONE OTHER UNIQUE THING ABOUT JESUS. HE IS THE ONE HERO KNOWN IN HUMAN HISTORY WHO PRAY AT HIS KILLING:
 
“FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.”
 
 
 
 
To know more about the “ETERNAL I AM” get in a quite space, relax and sense this presence in your breathing, blood flow, your entire body and listen as Jesus and many other Holy people have done and do because:
 
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit,
 
who lives in you and was given to you by God?
 
You do not belong to yourself. 1 Corinthians 6:19

RESOLVING THE PAIN IN YOUR LIFE ……….

Posted on January 7, 2012 by editor

WILL CAUSE IT TO GRADUALLY HEAL.  Most important: be aware what’s going on inside of you.  You have the power to heal yourself.  Ever fall and scrape your knee or cut your finger?  Pain: do nothing and it will grow; infection, swelling and more pain will come.  If not taken care of it could infect and consume your whole body.

Being aware of yourself mentally, spiritually and physically is the first step in helping you to take care of your pain and letting it go.

Ever had the pain of someone hurting your feelings?  If you don’t resolve it within yourself it will grow with the unresolved pain you already have leading you to more despair and illness.  Confronting the person who hurt you will not resolve the pain.  He/she will become defensive and come back at you, causing their pain to grow til thank hate you and gossip about you.

 HEAL THYSELF!  Let it go.  THINK OR PRAY:

 ”I can’t heal that SOB (Son or Sister of a hard shell believer?).  I’m turning it over to my Higher Power to let Him/Her deal with that sicko.” 

Now, your wound can heal, you can go on with your life, and later on that criminal may become aware of him/herself, go through his own healing and apologize one day.  NOT YOUR PROBLEM ANYMORE, RIGHT?  You can go on with less pain in your body, mind and soul, whereas he may not become more aware of himself causing his pain body to grow and cause more infection, sadness, and sickness to himself?

“If someone hurts you, dust off your shoes and go on with your life.”  Not even God (or your High Power?) will/can change another person.  More surely, we can’t.  Someone who was being crucified prayed: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”More next time.

ON BEING AWARE OF THE UNSEEN IN AND AROUND US…..

Posted on January 5, 2012 by editor

 

The more we become aware of our internal being the more we sense the ETERNAL BEING THAT LIVES IN ALL OF US. It’s similar to that feeling we have with a child, a close friend, a pet, etc (someone with whom we have fond feelings).

We have a strong desire to take care of that one just as the ETERNAL ONE wants to take care of us. Just be open to that PRESENCE and day by day you will sense this POWER AND LOVE FOR YOU MORE AND MORE-mackie.

CORPORATIONS GAINING MORE POWER OVER INDIVIDUALS…….

Posted on January 5, 2012 by editor
“I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one” is flooding the internet.
 
Put simply, a corporation can sell all its assests, pocket the money, hire a new CEO who will down size and declare bankruptcy and leave high and dry. What happens to the employees who had no other skills to find a different job right away? Many lose their homes, assets, pensions funds, family, etc. There are many more reasons. Source cited below. -mackie
 
Just three months after Romney proclaimed that “corporations are people,” he has pledged to ensure that the Supreme Court will continue to share this delusion. During editorial board meeting yesterday, Romney promised that if he is elected, he will model his Supreme Court picks after corporate America’s most favorite justices:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said if he had the opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court justice he or she would be in the mold of Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Their approach is the approach I would encourage,” he said. “I would try to find those who would follow the Constitution.
Setting aside the obvious tension between Romney’s promise to appoint justices like Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, or Alito and his promise to appoint justices who will “follow the Constitution,” it’s important to note exactly what Romney is endorsing by supporting these four justices:

SCIENCE COMES FROM ETERNAL WISDOM (the eternal, God, etc)

Posted on December 31, 2011 by editor
SCIENCE COMES FROM GOD. DARE WE REJECT IT AT OUR OWN PERIL?
 
5 KEYS TO LESS STRESS IN 2012:
 
1. Reclaiming quality time. Learning how to let the mind relax and just “be” for a while.
 
2. Rethinking priorities. What is it we really want? What makes our hearts sing?
 
3. Seeing things differently. Pause and ask yourself if there’s another way of looking at the situation.
 
4. Don’t keep anxieties bottled up. When we stop resisting uncomfortable feelings, they have a better chance of dissipating.
 
5. Value your friendships. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

WHY YOU SHOULD OCCUPY YOUR CONGRESSPERSONS……..

Posted on December 29, 2011 by editor
The economic gap between average Americans and our elected representatives in Congress has grown tremendously since the 1980s, according to an analysis conducted by The Washington Post.
 
Between 1984 and 2009, the median net worth of a member of the House more than doubled from $280,000 to $725,000 in inflation-adjusted dollars (excluding home equity). Meanwhile, the wealth of an American family has declined slightly over the same period, from $20,600 to $20,500.
 
While perhaps unsurprising – this mirrors the growing income inequality gap in the country – the growing divide between legislators and those they are supposed to represent has troubling implications for the health of our democracy. The greater the economic distance between average Americans and our lawmakers, the more our government “of the people, by the people” will become a government “of the 1%, by the 1%.”

NO “JOB CREATOR” FOUND WHO OPPOSES SURTAX ON MILLIONIARES?

Posted on December 10, 2011 by editor

By Tanya Somanader on Dec 9, 2011 at 2:10 pm:

 Yesterday, Republicans again shot down an extension of a payroll tax break for middle-class families due to their objection to a 1.9 percent tax increase on the top 0.2 percent of income earners. Naturally, Republicans are recycling their spurious claim that taxing America’s millionaires will somehow hit small businesses and stifle job creation.

“It’s just intuitive that, you know, if you’re somebody who’s in business and you get hit with a tax increase, it’s going to be that much harder, I think, to make investments that are going to lead to job creation,” said Sen. John Thune (R-SD). Hoping for more than Thune’s intuition, NPR put out a request to Republican offices and the business groups that have been lobbying against the surtax to find business owners who’d be affected. Unsurprisingly, Republican leadership and the business groups came up empty: We wanted to talk to business owners who would be affected. So, NPR requested help from numerous Republican congressional offices, including House and Senate leadership. They were unable to produce a single millionaire job creator for us to interview. So we went to the business groups that have been lobbying against the surtax. Again, three days after putting in a request, none of them was able to find someone for us to talk to. A group called the Tax Relief Coalition said the problem was finding someone willing to talk about their personal taxes on national radio.
