Around ten years ago the black community was getting some bad press because the media claimed it glorified ignorance.In the inner city,the press shouted,going to school and trying to acquire knowledge could not only get you ostracised but even beat up or killed.
There-to this day-are even advertisements proclaiming this so called truth.Who hasn't see the commercials of the inner city high school girl quietly riding the bus and then working afterwords in a laundromat trying to beat all odds at getting a good education?Who hasn't seen the ad where the intercity youth has to creep around his neighborhood trying to avoid the thugs and gangs of his everyday existence?
The media selling-the people buying-a truth that ignorance is the king.That only those lucky or those hard working enough to desire knowledge can somehow overcome these evil masses... if only enough Americans cheer them on,but without actually helping them.
Because actually helping the poor has somehow become a nasty no-no.Socialism...welfare cheats...what the main-stream is actually shouting is much different then what these advertisements are selling:Down with the poor.Up with injustice.
The old WWII Maxim by Pastor Martin Niemoller :
THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
THEN THEY CAME for the Catholics,and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
THEN THEY CAME for me and by that time no one was left to speak up."
Comes into play,here.
This is America,NOW!
IGNORANCE IS THE LAW.
Especially for white Americans.
Come on,you know it's true.Darwinism is the anti-God mass media lie.Global warming is the liberal media's giant hoax.Health care for the poor is socialism.
How retarded are these people?
(I'm sorry I said 'retarded'.I know that it is politically incorrect...but I am a rogue,by golly.)
Now,it's the story that Thomas Jefferson is taken out of the Texas textbooks and is replaced by religious leaders such as John Calvin.
It seems the Republicans have a problem with good old Tom because he coined the phrase,'The separation of church and state'.
As outraged as I am as an American by this ignorance outrage,I am doubly so as a Christian.
First off,it was not Thomas Jefferson whom first preached the separation of church and state,but Jesus Christ himself.In Matthew 22:21 Jesus states,"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
This is no small thing.BEFORE CHRIST stated this,and even until today,most religious states equated religious authority with state authority.Not with Jesus.
Jesus knew that when the social,governmental authority went bankrupt,that the independent religious mind would have a higher authority to guide his or her actions.Jesus knew that if the governmental(Ooh,how he knew) powers that be were corrupted,and then misused their religious authority as well,that there could be little chance of any freedom at all.
These textbook changer-uppers shout that the Constitution never states the separation of church and state.
I shout back:where does the Constitution even mention or even hint at capitalism?
International,nay,global corporation may have their claws into America's government,but America is not dead,yet.
Sure,your corporate sponsored media(FOX etc)spew filth on one channel then un-holy righteousness on the other.
Pushing ignorance of knowledge:even ignorance of religion meaning.Follow blindly my sheep.
But following man instead of God is a blind alley.Even the chosen ones will be led astray-if possible.
This advertising,Wall Street media blitz meant on leading God's sheep astray and into the valley of death via ignorance,prejustice,intolerance and (un)justifable religious hatred of those different than you will not stand.Can not stand.
If America will fall,it will be by the hands of the international corperation's greed:Coperate welfare,outsourced jobs,lower wages:all in the name of,'In God We Trust,INC.'
Being poor is not the problem,here.Being led away from the true values of Christ is.
People,wake up!Do not go quitely into the void.Fear and worry gain you nothing.And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
