Putting Christ Back In The Schools!?
62
I’ll join you with this endeavor,
If you will put Him in your heart.
If you would not vote for Satan,
That would be a start.
But every election,
That comes around,
You never look up,
But always down.
Put Christ back in our schools?
We should start at the top.
But if you intend to vote for Satan again,
I beg with you to stop.
Please don’t look to Harvard,
Or any of the folks from Yale.
For whenever you choose a lawyer,
You’re just choosing, again, to fail.
A child is an innocent life.
They don’t know wrong from right.
But the further they look toward the top,
The more they see “Christian Lite”.
They see people swearing on Bibles,
To never tell a lie.
And they start seeing your pyramid scheme,
That reaches to the sky.
America is a corporation,
It’s ruled the land, seas, and skies.
But mostly what these businessmen do,
Is out-source and down-size.
Kids can see from their desk,
Or sitting in a chair.
Businessmen just pave sidewalks,
That don’t lead anywhere.
Put “your” Christ, back in school?
I don’t think so, just right now.
I’m not sure if its Christ you want,
Or this business sacred cow.
But you keep voting for lawyers,
And they keep bleeding us dry.
They can’t run a court-room,
But you keep lifting them high.
Elect another lying louse,
Another drunken souse.
Put them in Congress,
And on to the White House.
Put Jesus back in school?
Are you quite delirious?
If you’ll quit voting for Satan,
I’ll take you a lot more serious.
~Micky Dee~
I would love to put Christ in the schools.
I would love to put only "MY" Christ in schools.
I have no idea what "Christ" "many of you" are following.
Frankly - I think Christianity has been compromised.
Yes. Like our food, water, and air, yes, compromised.
I would put "MY" Gandhi in school over "your" "Christ".
I would put "MY" Dalai Lama in school over "your" Christ.
I have no idea what you're up to.
You're voting for lawyers who will not run a courtroom, to run the country, for businessmen.
The lawyers and businessmen will fleece you and kill your children.
They have made the "Land of the Free" the "LAND of the MOST IMPRISONED".
""They" fleece and over-charge the world. "They" steal resources that God gave us all. They spend billions to brainwash Americans and the world, when "they" can.
But many of you Christians vote for "them" in blocks and blocs.
Of course there are paid "infiltrators" into Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, you name it. There are so many ways that Satan or "they" keep the peace seekers and truth seekers apart.
"They", the money, Satan will take the Christians' money and spend billions convincing Christians that they don't love and serve God, if they don't support wars promoted by lawyers and businessmen. That's nutshelling.
War is business.
Business is war.
Hostile take-overs are common place.
Because there is no Golden Rule in Business.
America will not put Christ in business.
America will not put Christ in Congress.
America will not put Christ in the White House.
Why should America put Christ in the school house only to kill and enslave our children when they graduate from school?
Parents teach their children how to potty and valuable lessons, morals, values. A school should teach the same in general ways. Moral fiber should be respected. Good character should be promoted. Honesty should be coveted.
Morality should be taught over patriotism.
The morality that is shown at the top of America is certainly "mixed" to absolutely disgusting.
Our children attend school for a dozen years. The child should be groomed to be a great citizen and contributor to our society.
Our "leaders" will not give these kids respectful livelihoods other than soldiering?
They all cannot go to college.
So it's okay to kill some of the kids off?
Three or four years in a war will not teach you survival skills in a business like America.
All the love that is poured into a young man is ripped out with another war. Another "police action".
Perhaps the next war will be against Americans by the rich.
Oops! I forgot about the endless war that is always featuring the bullies against the weak. There is the EVER-present war against Americans by the rich. The GOP leads the way here. Of course there are oodles of republicans in democratic clothing.
I cannot trust you folks, who should be "fellow Christians".
What kind of cult is this that will love a son, as you will claim, and allow these profiteers to send them to war under the guise of patriotism?
And some of you will say about the Arabs, "They don't appreciate life over there like we do."
Let's not confuse fascism with patriotism.
Our allegiance should be to God, or for atheists, higher ideals, humanity over all, the Golden Rule.
It is this Satan that is using us and our resources against us to enslave us!
Stop voting to enslave us.
News makes an error:
RALEIGH -- ### CORRECTION: The News & Observer incorrectly reported Wednesday that the family foundation of businessman Art Pope has provided more than $17 million to finance a network of conservative think tanks through the years, according to the Institute for Southern Studies. That figure only applies to the John Locke Foundation.
The Pope family foundation has spent more than $28.7 million on the think tanks, according to the institute.
Although not well known, Art Pope is one of the most influential benefactors of conservative causes and Republican politics in North Carolina -- and increasingly, the country.
For Heagarty, former director of the N.C. Center for Voter Education who was appointed to fill a vacancy in the legislature a year ago, Pope's actions raise questions about undue influence. "It's one person attempting to buy an election," Heagarty said.
"If he had chosen to give to the candidate of his choice, he would have been capped at $4,000," said Heagarty, citing the legal limit for an individual to give to candidate. "It allows him to be as negative and nasty as he wants to be without reflecting back on my opponent."
The mailings into Heagarty's district from Real Jobs NC and Civitas Action Inc. cost $70,979, according to state and federal filings made this week. Meanwhile, Americans for Prosperity reported spending $14,114 for his opponent, Republican Tom Murry.
Heagarty said the mailings were filled with falsehoods. One, for example, had him voting for a $1 billion tax increase, when he had not yet been appointed at the time of the vote.
Money Shaping Politics
When I look up Pope and his "organizations, I find:
Funding to the John Locke Foundation. They'd like to do away with environmental issues and especially global warming with the group' s 2010 climate agenda which is:
1. Abandon all state attempts to fight global warming
2. Repeal already adopted legislation such as SB3, which is raising energy costs and reducing employment opportunities in the state, which is already suffering from one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.
And on it goes. I'm not here to debate global warming. If you think car emissions, factory emissions, etc. are good for us, it's simple to conduct your own test. I often ask neo-conservatives to participate: In a closed garage, perhaps at home, leave your car running and just wait.
It's easy to see Pope, John Locke Foundation, etc. as opponents of environmental issues. They hate the global warming message and any environment message.
Hood Richardson, a retired
minerals geologist and commissioner for Beaufort
County, N.C. Unlike
Wright, Richardson
is not at all shy about telling voters what he thinks about global warming: He calls
it a "problem that has since been debunked as based on faulty
science."
Who does Richardson
cite as the source for his claims?
The John Locke Foundation.
Beginning in October 2010, Facing South and the
Institute for Southern Studies launched an investigative series looking at the
scope and nature of Pope's political empire. Among the findings of our
investigation:
* Art Pope exerts an unusual level of influence over North Carolina's conservative establishment.
According to Facing South's analysis, about 90 percent of the funding
of the state's leading conservative think tanks and advocacy groups comes from
Pope's family foundation, which he runs. Pope is also installed on the board of
directors of most of these groups.
* Pope was key to fueling the Republican Party's historic takeover of
the North Carolina
legislature in 2010. Facing South showed how three groups backed by
Pope -- Americans for Prosperity, Civitas Action and Real Jobs NC -- joined
with Pope family members to spend over $2.2 million targeting 22 key state
races last November. Republicans won 18 of the contests.
* While staying out of the spotlight, Pope backs some of the right
wing's most controversial causes. Pope's groups have worked closely
with the Tea Party Express, whose leaders have been widely condemned for making
racially-charged statements, and Pope's foundation has funded many groups that deny
the scientific consensus about global climate change.
Pieces of our investigation have been covered by The Raleigh News &
Observer, WRAL TV and other major media outlets; in the wake of our series,
some even called for a boycott of the discount retail stores owned by Pope's Variety
Wholesalers chain, which includes Roses and Maxway.
POPE
THE VOTE (10/8/10): Little-known outside North Carolina, Republican
retail magnate Art Pope is silently rising as a national player in the 2010
elections. But many say his strategy of funneling money for political attack
ads through nonprofits pushes the limits of the law.
BLESSED
TO HAVE A POPE (10/14/10): 90 cents out of every dollar received by North Carolina's leading
conservative organizations come from one foundation, led by conservative donor
Art Pope. But the benefactor's generosity may come with strings attached. Plus
see this response
(10/19/10) to Pope-funded groups who criticized Facing South's series.
ART
POPE: STILL DANCING AT THE TEA PARTY? (10/21/10): While some
conservatives have distanced themselves from controversial elements of the Tea
Party movement, groups in North
Carolina backed by influential donor Art Pope
continue to embrace them.
A
POPE OF CLIMATE DENIAL (10/26/10): Art Pope, North Carolina's
leading conservative benefactor, has worked closely with the Koch oil barons
and spent millions of his own discount retail fortune to sow doubt about the
scientific consensus on global warming. Now he's hoping to reap the political
benefits.
POPE
BANKROLLS DUBIOUS 'VOTER FRAUD' CRUSADE (10/28/10): North Carolina's
conservative benefactor Art Pope has taken a leading role in the right's
crusade against "voter fraud." But the groups he supports still can't
prove it's a real problem.
POPE'S BIG
DAY: REPUBLICAN BENEFACTOR FUELED GOP CAPTURE OF NC LEGISLATURE
(11/9/10): In 2010, three conservative groups and a Republican
benefactor's family spent over $2.2 million targeting key races to take over
the North Carolina
legislature. Here's what they got for their record-shattering investment. Also
see Pope's response: I
didn't "buy the North Carolina legislature."
NC SCHOOL
BOARD ENGINEERED BY CONSERVATIVE BENEFACTOR DRAWS CIVIL RIGHTS SCRUTINY
(12/16/10): Prominent conservative funder Art Pope was the mastermind
behind the Republican school board majority in Wake County, N.C.
that's now under federal investigation for scrapping a lauded desegregation
policy.
NC
GROUPS BACKED BY TOP POLITICAL BENEFACTOR PUSH TO KILL STATE CAMPAIGN FINANCE
PROGRAM (1/4/11): North Carolina conservative groups founded and
largely funded by Republican benefactor Art Pope are calling for an end to the
state's widely-used 'clean elections' program. Maybe it's because Pope's
record-shattering spending in 2010 was so successful in fueling the GOP's
capture of the state legislature.
Dang Liberal Funding! God bless these servants of God!
Art Pope and henchmen cried their eyes out that the "NC Justice Center" received contributions from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation.
The Justice Center does receive significant funding from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation; however, it's a much smaller share of their total income than that seen among conservative groups and the Pope Foundation.
When I look up the Z. Smith Reynolds and NC Justice Center.
I certainly see a different accountability:The North Carolina Justice Center is in place to help people who are unfairly incarcerated.
For those who have not been paying attention - America is indeed the most imprisoned nation on our planet Earth. This alone should tell many Christians that something is odoriferous.
The North Carolina Justice Center, not to be confused with the NC Dept of Injustice, is a prisoner advocate organization.
This is to help prisoners who have been defiled by the system.
"The Justice Center is North Carolina’s leading private, nonprofit anti-poverty organization. Its mission is to reduce and eliminate poverty in North Carolina by helping to ensure that every North Carolina household gains access to the resources, services and fair treatment that it needs in order to enjoy economic security."
The Justice Center is also home to a number of well-known specialized projects, including the Budget & Tax Center, the Health Access Coalition, the Immigrants Legal Assistance Project, the Education and Law Project and the Consumer Action Network.

This is just some of the information they should be proud of if one is to be proud!
Along with:
KENANSVILLE - District Attorney Dewey Hudson dismissed all criminal charges today against Levon “Bo” Junior Jones, who spent 15 years on North Carolina’s death row for a murder he has always said he didn’t commit. In 1993, Jones was convicted by a Duplin County jury of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Leamon Grady, a local bootlegger. The jury also convicted him of robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy. In 2006, a federal judge said Jones' trial attorneys did not properly represent him and ordered a new trial. It was set to begin this month, but Jones learned this week he would be a free man. The state's star witness and Jones' former lover, Lovely Lorden, said in an affidavit filed in April that much of her testimony was not true. She said a detective coached her on what to say at Jones' trial and that of co-defendant Larry Lamb. She collected $4,000 from the governor's office as a reward for offering the clues that led to arrests.
"But this is North Carolina and America where we have a right for a fair trial." Hogwash! Dream on America.
But North Carolina Christians VOTE for people that continue this unfair imprisonment, death, and suffering.
Here's Micky's own The Falsely Accused And Wrongly Imprisoned"!
But Art Pope and Thugs?
When I traveled to the Civitas website - I can't tell what the heck they're doing, but I can see by the charts above, where a lot of money goes.
They invested in "think tanks"!
Gee Art, couldn't you put all that money back into the people you are fleecing instead of fleecing them again so that you cab fleece them better later?
Well Micky Dee is starting his own "think tank"! I'll need some funding, so you folks keep those dollars rolling in! I'm a hard thinker! I want to erect some think buildings somewhere with some good music. I'll probably need several locations because you can think better in different locations and about different things.
So I'll think hard for you! I'll even think on snow days and vacations.
Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night and think.
How much money do I need to think?
Let's ask Art.
I can read and I see that Pope and company bleed North Carolinians and brainwash them into a distorted opinion.
Pope The Vote!
Sheldon Adelson is the fifth wealthiest person in the United States, with a net worth estimated by Forbes at $23 billion. Since 2006 he has contributed $7 million to Gingrich's fundraising entity American Solutions for Winning the Future.
Please give us yet another title of a program that Newt will lie about and refuse to follow up on. Oh forget it. I’m, sure there are enough Christians who are following this devils’s helper.
Through this 527 vehicle (and a regular political action committee with the same name), Gingrich is raking in loads of cash as he teases the country about whether he plans to run for President while mouthing off with a variety of reckless policy pronouncements.
The American Solutions website has a section labeled Corruption. In January a post there announced a new feature called Corrupt Report that was supposed to monitor news of misbehavior "regardless of political party." Somehow the site has failed to cover the recent disclosure by Adelson's company, Las Vegas Sands, that it is being investigated by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice Department for possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Nevada Gaming Control Board is also said to be looking into the matter.
The investigations presumably involved Adelson's four casinos in Asia. Just four? Three are in China and one in Singapore. Yep. He felt the need to spread this “joy” world-wide instead of just hanging out in Las Vegas.
Let’s see how gambling-related bribery scandal affects the political prospects of Gingrich. He already has the impossible task of selling me his "family values" since he’s been twice divorced.
Adelson is firmly anti-union. In the late 1990s, Adelson purchased the Sands hotel and casino in Las Vegas. He tore it down to make way for the humongous Venetian gambling emporium.
The Sands had been unionized, but Adelson refused to recognize the Culinary Workers at the Venetian. Union supporters picketed in front of the casino. He tried to have them arrested. This set off a legal battle that lasted for a decade. More recently, Adelson was an outspoken foe of the Employee Free Choice Act. Today the Las Vegas Sands brags in its 10-K filing that none of the workers at its casinos are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
In 2007 Adelson founded Freedom's Watch, an advocacy group that tried to build support for the Bush Administration's surge strategy in Iraq. “Freedom’s Watch beat the drum on what it called the "Iranian Threat". Freedom’s Watch ws been touted as the right's answer to MoveOn.org -a claim that somehow missed the distinction between a group funded by large numbers of small contributions and one bankrolled mostly by a single multi-billionaire. Despite that money, Freedom's Watch was a short-lived flop.
Adelson is an apologist for the repressive Chinese government. Of course the Chines government allowed him to build his lucrative casinos in Macao.
These are RIGHT WINGERS Christians!
This is NEO CONSERVATISM!
And like ALL rich crying baby weenies he whimpers, "Why is it fair that I should be paying a higher percentage of taxes than anyone else?"
Well dingdong, you're a prime example that criminals shouldn't be more privileged than regular folks. Oops! I guess you and your lawyers are really just inside the law. OR- you'll buy the law!
Of course Adelson’s only higher education came from tuition-free City College of New York. But now Adelson can forget that progressive taxation (or what's left of it) is what pays for the public institutions and infrastructure that help people like him succeed.
Even more dismaying than billionaires' deluding themselves into thinking that they are completely self-made is the fact that they can now use large amounts of their under-taxed wealth to promote policies that make life ever more harsh for the rest of us.
Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) has developed serious knee problems from apologizing to British Petroleum.When charbroiled about tax credits enjoyed by offshore oil companies, Barton argued that the subsidies represent equal treatment, and are required to keep the companies like Exxon-Mobil from going out of business.
"Over time if you put so many disincentives against any U.S. manufacturing or production company, or oil and gas exploration company, they'll go out of business," Barton said.
Barton, perhaps the oil and gas industry's staunchest support on Capitol Hill, says the subsidies for the industry should remain unchanged "so long as you believe that you believe in the free market capitalist system and they should be headquartered in the United States."
Democrats have proposed eliminating the oil and gas subsidies as part of a deficit reduction and spending cut package. The White House estimates that repealing the tax credits would save about $46 billion over 10 years.
Yo Joe!
They have the heavy-duty knee pads down at Lowes and Home Depot!
So why aren't you hiring?
So many budget deficits and the attacks on public unions, we might forget about the jobs crisis in the United States.
Obscured is the failure of big business to accelerate
hiring in step with the emerging recovery in overall economic activity. Gee. Go figure. It's just good economics eh?
The corporations report lush earnings for 2010 but hiring is depressed. 29 out of 50 Fortune 500 companies posted aggregate net income of $239 billion. That's a whopping 48 percent increase from the year before.
Oil companies are doing very well.God bless them???
Exxon Mobil was up 58 percent and Chevron 81 percent. Service sector giants are also reporting much richer bottom lines. UPS showed an increase of 62 percent and AT&T 63 percent. Some blue chip industrials more than doubled their earnings. Boeing soared 152 percent and Ford Motor 141 percent.
The employment figures are stink! Together, the 29 corporations reported a decline of about 3,500 positions in their aggregate head count of some 4.6 million. Some banks increased their hiring a bit.
Telecommunications behemoth Verizon Communications reduced its workforce by 28,500 jobs while its profits were more than 13 percent.
General Electric, whose CEO Jeff Immelt is advising the Obama Administration on job creation, got rid of 17,000 net positions during 2010 while enjoying a 6 percent rise in earnings. (GE is one of the few companies that provide a geographic breakdown of their workforce. In the U.S. GE's head count was down by 1,000.)
The percentage decrease in head count at Verizon and GE is almost identical to the percentage increase in profits at each of the companies.
Given these numbers, why is big business facing little criticism for its hiring freeze? There is a tendency to regard even large corporations as helpless in the face of economic conditions, and they are not expected to resume hiring until the market mandates it. Yet the overall economy is picking up and still there is a resistance to hiring.
Corporate apologists such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce would have us believe that the reason is excessive workplace regulation. The Chamber has just come out with a report making the preposterous claim that if state governments would only curtail their employment rules to the lowest common denominator, 746,000 new jobs would magically materialize.
Companies can do more business and garner more profits without increasing their head count largely because there is nothing stopping them from squeezing more work out of the same number of employees. Stricter protections and more collective bargaining would result in higher employment levels.
The folks who really want cutting the size of government are the thieves, Satan's helpers, the evil empire! They are the ones who need some government on their backs!
If Christians will insist that the corporations be fair in hiring practices, and put Christ first, I will consider helping to put a kind Jesus in the schools.
Some of you "Christians" are saying that America was begun as a Christian nation.
Well, Let's see it!
Put Christ in business!
Demand that your fellow man be treated with respect and not as a slave.
You remember don't you? That Golden Rule thing?
Put truth in government first.
Put truth in politics! Demand it!
Put truth in the schools, not brainwashing, truth in the schools first!
If you do not put truth in our schools you cannot put Christ in there!
Fellow Christians- or whatever you are - I will not help you put Jesus, Christ in our schools until I know you are not talking ANTI-CHRIST!!!
Christians - demand that truth is returned to America!
Demand that this money from the few is not used against the American people and the American CHILDREN!
Until then-
I have no idea what you're doing!
~Micky Dee~
Please comment with this stipulation. There is to be no defense of this BIG BUSINESS as usual.
I will not argue with Satans' helpers.
Do your homework.

Well the instructions above didn't work.
So I'm adding this below which is further reason to not have any religion in charge.
As in: "What day is snake handling day?"
I copied and pasted this from my comment box from I Never Had A Muslim...:
I NEVER had A Muslim... pull a gun on me because I was riding a bicycle on the road in every legal sense!
I NEVER had a Muslim to pull in front of me and SLAM ON BRAKES trying to kill me. But this happens so much I'm surprised it isn't an Olympic Sport. I've seen this so much it is murder!
I NEVER had a Muslim to threaten to murder me for riding a bicycle- it happened once in Spartanburg, SC. It happened in Chimney Rock with Kent Clary. We called the police and THEY NEVER SHOWED - it happened on River Road in Asheville, NC toward Marshall. It happened to Tod Andrews last year on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I can write a book and I am not concerned one bit with a Muslim harming me one iota. There is not enough time or fingers to write all my bicycle vs car problems. But not one Muslim has run a traffic light as Larry Dean Price did in Spartanburg, SC. No Muslim ever hit me with a truck and lied about it.
No Muslim has ever robbed me - I could write a book on this one. We just don't have time. I've been robbed by Americans in maybe every sense of the word "robbed".
I could go on with more than :
Thank you all. Just another little thought: I have never known a Muslim to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan. And yes - I do know some members. I failed to meet the standards of their recruitment. They wanted to pray after burning crosses and such. I wanted to pray before and skip that burning stuff.
If anyone would like- I will so gladly introduce you to some of the KKK members. Now some may pray but others may not. One of the guys I met has a "bill of sale" for a slave that he is really proud of. It's one of the family heirlooms. Maybe we can take a bus and make it a real special tour! I could give you one list of towns that "eliminated" their black population one way or another.
So, no thanks to the brad spectrum of religion that can be called Christianity.
Let's teach true morality. Honesty.
Every word of Jesus that is accepted and validated by the disciples, please tell me more and more and all children should hear those words.

Hi Will. This government we have now will NOT PUT CHRIST ANYWHERE! This is the government of Mammon. It's proved every day.
If this government would put any honesty into the process we could say something else but if Americans cannot see this fascism they're pretty occupied.
There should not even be a GOP. This above is what they do EVERYWHERE! They distort the truth better than anyone. They have the money to do it.
And don't forget- every democrat after election strangely becomes a republican.
This complete manifest of irony is puts a disturbing eye on what unfortunatly seems to be destiny...there's a rising dis-taste,but for what?
Mental acer, everyone can smell the stench. The wind blows predominantly from the southwest and fluctuates in the winter. But I can smell Washington from NC.
We expect honor from people, by social etiquette should be called his honor.
Honestly - honestly - look at the courts. But- it's accepted every day. If a foreign country did to the American people what the leaders and businessmen do the the American people - well, we'd have a war.
I'm not sure how different my political hubs are. I call attention to corruption. I repeatedly run across stories of miscarriages of justice.
Americans choose to look the other way! It's not even an issue on the political slate.
Micky, I don't even know what to say. You said it all. This post makes me want to cry.
up/awesome.
Thank you Micky for a hub of promise, I appreciate you. Godspeed
This is wonderful, though some might argue about getting Christ back to school until some folks are sent out of school but i tell you,he is coming back and i will be sitting next to him in class.Bravo Dad!
voted up!
God bless you Creativeone!
God to see you Rossi! Yo be careful my good son!
Religion shouldn't have any place in a school; It should be the parents home duty,if that is their desire.jandee
Micky Dee - I remember every morning in grade school we read a passage from the Bible and said the Pledge of Allegiance. Before lunch we sang the Doxology "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow"... and it didn't seem to hurt us one bit. Nobody wrote their congressman to get us to stop either. May God bless you. Peg
jandee - American Christians are proving you absolutely right. I have no idea what they stand for. They will not vote for anyone but Beelzebub to public office.
Until they learn politics they should not spread their idea of religion to schools. Moral decency should have precedence over religion absolutely. They cannot vote,.hey should have no say what is taught there.
Wow Mic, this is right on and I want to scream this loud and clear, however I am afraid nothing like this could happen with our present adminatrations...the simply suck!!! We need to get back to prayer in schools, put our hands over our hearts and look at our flag, that is what is American about our country. The kids growing up are not Americans anymore if this is not done. rate this way way up up up love & peace to you my lovely friend. darski
PegCole- I hear you. It didn't seem to hurt me either. However yes it does hurt. This teaches blind obedience and our disgusting leaders do not deserve our allegiance.
I intend to follow Jesus. I will NEVER follow the United States of the Apathetic ever again. As I write right here American Christians will not vote for anyone but Satan. Our allegiance is definitely NOT to these elite rich tyrants and this pledge should no longer be taught ever until America gets on track. As of right now our young men are sentenced to die by these businessmen who instead of investing in America invest in "think tanks" to brainwash Americans.
No ma'am I do not want the Jesus that many North Carolinians and other Americans are praying to. I will follow Jesus and the Golden Rule and I am not sure Christians understand the Golden Rule. Until Christians and Atheists alike uphold and swear to the Golden Rule neither have validity. Christianity without moral participation is just a church pew. I will follow truth. I suggest Christians and atheists to get off the stick. Love the neighbor as yourself. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Don't make billions of dollars to attack American citizens or the wide world community. that has nothing to do with God or humanity. It's just evil. Until North Carolina residents and Christians expel these tyrants from the state the Christians of NC are just another cult. This goes for atheists. This goes for Muslims of NC if there are any. This goes for every professor of decency.
Until American Christians get Satan out of the Senate, House of Representatives, and the White House, these so called Christians cannot put Christ in school. It is impossible. Christians don't have the will-power or faith to expel Satan from politics. They vote them in every election.
Until Christians throw Satan out of the courtroom they can keep their hands off school.
I follow the teachings of Jesus. I suggest Christians, Atheists, Muslims, Catholics, and the works follow Jesus.
The absolute law of Jesus is the Golden Rule. If any faiths or non faith do not take up THIS cross all these cults are just action-less, tasteless, bland cults flopping on the great hook of "Suckerism"!
The only comment I have is that I think it is interesting in 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: "The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools." These guys were pretty darn smart, I think they had good reason to approve such a thing.
Micky, your honest approach to such subjects is incredible. I appreciate your hub.
Thank you CMerritt. It's good to have MORALITY and high ideals.
Not many of our founding fathers were Muslims, Hindu, etc. They were mostly of the same pot.
If they were mostly Muslim - this would have been voted on by Muslims.
America was indeed established, in part, for religious freedom. Many of our forefathers were agnostic. Some were atheists.
To "recommend and approve the Holy Bible for use in all schools" as a statement doesn't mean that other Books" of moral and spiritual learning couldn't be there too. Many "Books" could be approved in that same light. But if school is to be a public place of learning - how much time can be spent on the Bible or any other book?
What is the home for? What are Sunday mornings, Sunday nights, Wednesday nights, revival nights for? Are we saying that these days and nights and family gatherings are not enough time to learn of God.
I had that every week and every year growing up.
But enough of my reminiscing about my childhood.
The bottom line is - even with ALL the God in school that people are raving about from the sixties and seventies alone, has not produced a good voter.
And all the Christ in schools will not educate kids to embrace the Golden Rule. But grown-up Christians today cannot vote. All the morality that you can point out did not work. Christians elected George Bush and his daddy. If Christians will teach the Golden Rule - I'm for it.
Christians do not practice the Golden Rule. Until Christians take the INJUSTICE SYSTEM of the United States to task for false imprisonment - what good is it?
GROWN CHRISTIANS DO NOT CHERISH THAT LAW THAT JESUS GAVE THEM!
If they did this United States would not be in the hands of Satan and it most certainly is.
Christians continue to vote their children into the military, slavery, and death.
I will follow the law that Jesus said was the law above all laws and that means that treating all of God's people with dignity, respect, and love is greater than ever believing that Jesus rose from the dead.
I am straight from the Bible and all of the Bible can be hazy. But Jesus said. Love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said, "Do to people as you would have people do to you". Jesus said to LOVE the enemy.
Jesus did not say to invade country after country and impose suffering for all involved.
Jesus did not say to make millions of dollars and turn that money against the CHRISTIANS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD.
Want the Golden Rule in the schools?
Micky Dee wants the Golden Rule everywhere.
But for Christians to vote for this NEO-lockstepping-CONSERVATISM that is creating HELL on Earth? No!
My God said to pray the Lord's Prayer and that prayer is one that everyone including Atheists could pray:
My God and my Father which is in heaven, hallowed be Your name! Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on this place Earth as You have it in heaven..."
That is the prayer Christians are to pray. Christians are to pray that Earth resembles HEAVEN. It is right there in THE BOOK!
Christians ARE NOT making this Earth resemble heaven.
And as long as Christians support ART POPE and the Satans like him we will have more prisoners in prisons than CHINA!
There will be NO Messiah coming out of Harvard.
There is NO MESSIAH in BIG BUSINESS!
And voting for a lawyer is voting for hell in our schools.
Micky, I have stated on these very hubs, many, many times, that in MY opinion, a Christian is NOT a Christian unless he/she is practicing the fruits of the Spirit...which is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Which pretty much lines up with your thoughts in this hub.
God bless you CMerritt. Don't mind my ramblings good sir. I see insanity that just perpetuates slavery. I know that our own people are hacking at us. I continuously cut down this stone around America's neck which is the lAwYeR. I wrote it crooked because there are no straight lawyers.
America will not clean up America and the only way is to come down HARD on our slave masters. Nixon BROKE the law. Nixon got to ride off in Air Force I.
When Micky Dee breaks the law he will not get a chopper ride. Yep- not only am I as good as Richard "tricky dick" Nixon, I am better and I have lived a better life than Richard Nixon and I deserve the same respect. But America loves its leaders and the lawyers and will not get off the knees to them and the money. Deportation for leaders who do not lead. Thank you sir!
beautiful write Micky and I got to agree with you.
God Bless brother man
Preach the Word in and out of season - and this is the WORD! Everyone talks about the rich needing a better business climate to foster new jobs, and unions are apparently standing in their way; and yet and still, they continue to make record profits without making new jobs. What is their inspiration to make new jobs? Slavery? It can't get much better for them then it already is. The top 1-4% of this country hold more than 50% of the wealth and their main goal in life right now is to own 60%. If you get a chance look for a YouTube speech by Tony Schultz, a small farmer from Athens, Wisconsin on 3/13/11. There are 44 teachers in his little town and 14 of them just got pink slips. It should be easy for Scott Walker to make 250,000 jobs after he lays off at least that many around the state and privatizes everything for the interests of who?? The wealthy of course. Great words Micky Dee! Keep preaching! Peace
Wow Mickey, you have so much in here. I believe when our government was formed Christian faith and morals where a given. As they pull out faith the foundation weakens and greed sets in!
Mic' you have covered a lot of ground and topics here that I will have to soak in to leave a decent and applicable statement to it all.
The way I understand it is one comes to Christ voluntarily with a heart of surrender unto his ways, Love of Fellow Man. So those who are screaming to put the Son of God back in school. are they home schooling them and or taking them to Sunday school in the level they need to be to learn and understand, what and why putting our Savior in school and First every morning, before even salutations to our country and flag is so important?
Are those same people walking the walk that they scream they want back in our schools? or are they like magnetic ribbons on automobiles? $2.50 plus tax and they consider their job done?
I'm not hassling you and this message as I voted up every button. I am throwing down my sand line on hypocrites, who do a lot of speaking and no action, mainly our elected officials, as well as those waiting in line to bump themselves up by burning enough money to feed and give raiment to the genuinely needy folks in complete highest number or percent of them?
Most names that are going to be on the ballot and become president, have the personal finances to donate their salary if elected, to the needy, by 100% of the payments above and below the table that they receive during their term (s)as they will remain paid for life after their term is over, leaving themselves and family plenty to live on and put their kids through collage that the hard working sledge hammer swinging men will never see or enjoy. Leaving me with tear ducts open, especially for the tin men on the field of battle against a stated enemy that lacks the capability to ever get to the shores of the US short of entering on our open boarders. Bringing us to election day, voters line up and enter a booth and there are no choices on the ballot, nor a place for "none of the above, try again" and if it wins they must return to the fields to pick again nominees as many times as it takes to get it right. That will never happen, as if the vote was "none of the above" the Electoral collage and the turbo charged secret electors would and will continue to ell us what and who we want.
Awesome write with much to consider. Peace my Bother Vet, I love you Brotherman, keep up the good fight, dust.
God bless you Brother Vietnam Vet!
God bless you gnomefitness! We did have some real stinkers back there too.
AM Werner! God bless you brother man! There are a lot of Christians who talk their talk and their walk are missing will not make the AMEN corner here. Thank God for you AM. I think we both see the same blue sky.
Amen 50 Caliber! Amen and Amen! There is no pretending with us. This is serious business. Let's keep the faith that life is not lived in vain.
Hello Micky, When a child is born and is taught the Golden Rule at home, that child is not easily persuaded to follow evil, that's why the Catholic Church says that the first six years teaching will hold that child in their faith for life. It would be great to have prayer back in schools, but America has changed. We are a nation of many beliefs, each praying to thier God. After it's all said and done we all, who believe, want only goodness and mercy for our children and all mankind. The evil who thrive on greed and are sightless when it comes to the needy , the hungry, the homeless, will have to stand before God on judgement day, and i tremble at the thought.Many who profess Godliness in both parties, who put wealth before the people, will surely pay dearly in the end. I love you my Dear friend Micky. You have a heart of gold.
God Speed
God bless you dear Always Exploring. This man Art Pope has spent millions against the people of North Carolina and America. Thank you dear Ruby.
Christians need to stand up for values and walk that talk! We can do better than the greed that is flaunted before us.
Wow, what a concept and wouldn't the world be so much better if people started to practice ethics again too. I love this hub. Up, up and up again!!!
Hi Micky, I'm glad I finally noticed I didn't push the "Follow Micky Dee" button! tee hee, good to see you. Well after reading this I see you have a ravel rouser in you!! I enjoyed your poem a great deal and your passion for what you believe! Bless you
This little cannucks mind is spinning with this read Micky!..lol..oh my.. you're an amazing man, american, human being.. just plain amazing and I am BLESSED to know you through this medium.. ;) -HUGS-
Mickey, awesome and up here and I haven't yet finished reading. I will come to this one, Pope is a character I know little about and thanks to this hub is someone I will research. Love the start of this hub, your perspectives are truly worth taking an understanding of. I have much admiration for your outspoken and straightforward thinking. I can learn alot from you. The info and knowledge you share is much appreciated and I am thankful for it. So many issues you brilliantly intertwine in an inspiring way. More of us should think in similar ways, your character is inspiring. Thanks for an awesome hub!
Hi Micky,
Your hubs are always so powerful and you get your point accross 100%.
There is not a lot left to say on this subject because i think that you made an awesome job of covering every corner.
I push all the buttons on this one.
Thank you so much for writing and publishing this great hub.
Take care

God bless you all.
Thank you for kind words. I am indeed a follower of Jesus. I love His Golden Rule.
It's very discouraging to see people claiming to be Christians - but - they think their job is telling people that they're going to hell. It is not their job. Their job is to promote and adhere to the Golden Rule. Christ in school? How about Christ in their own lives? Howe about Christians WORKING, FINDING the TRUTH, VOTING WITH RESPONSIBILITY, BEING THEIR NEIGHBORS' KEEPERS.
If America is a GODLY nation - then America IS ITS brothers'keepers.
Enough of the pretenders!
No health care for the poor?
That is SATAN.
Let's keep the faith - WE are our brothers' keepers and that was nailed down in God's Book eons ago.
A mere moment of 2,000 years man was reminded as man has been reminded "in that Bible" ALL ALONG. According to the written word of God we are indeed and for as Adam had a gleam in his eye.
And when Satan's helpers tell us that health-care cannot be afforded, this is the darkest liar that Earth has ever seen talking and the GOP keeps Satan at the helm.
We are indeed our brother's keepers.
Christians, supposedly the people of Jesus, vote for Beelzebub in blocks. For the next election- there will "web-sites" promoted FOR Christians to vote GOP. And they will. These pretenders will continue to kill, torture, and enslave their own because Jesus is NOT in their hearts and THEIR idea of Jesus should absolutely NOT be taught.
Patriotism is to GOP - GOP.
And for the CRAZEES- no, I've never been a democrat.
God bless you all.
I find it funny that this hub has caused some defections. More "followers" are following me day by day. But since I created this hub the numbers of followers dropped or they remain the same.
But really- isn't it worth the hub to see the folks who resent this message which is merely a call for responsibility. It calls for putting both the Christian and the "money" to stand up for Jesus in all of our lives.
I created this hub knowing the outcome. Bon voyage. But I hope God blesses US ALL- not just the rich. That's what the Lord's prayer is about - "making Earth resemble what God's heaven is". We are told to pray - like that. God bless!
You know what Micky
Some may come, some may go
The word is what matters
Not the flow
When you write about evil in your state
Then we should rejoice
'Cos we all can relate
My Govenor will go on trial here soon
He's a crook, a real Baboon
We need to rid each State of crooks and thieves
Then maybe again, in our Government we can believe.
God Bless
The government of mammon.........says it all, Micky. You´ve done some amazing research to compile an incredibly informative hub. I hope people who read it will will begin to think.. O....Yer.....that´s true....
Aw thank you dear Ruby.
That's why you're the Pearl!
You are the kind soul.
You are the lovely girl.
We've spent our lives,
to get right here.
We know what's true.
We know what's dear. God bless you Always!
God bless you dear Dim! These hubs are taxing. I love your heart Dim.
Christ can't go to school because the politicians are pandering for too many votes and figure they already have the Christians on board any way. At one time there were "ethics" in the business world. Somebody tossed those out long ago. Until we gain some ethical standards in our business practices, there is no need for Christ to show up and cleanse the bums. Thanks Micky. WB
I'll have to come back and read all the comments, but just let me say that I loved my parochial school upbringing in the lower grades. Would have continued if my parents had not moved.
Like they say, no one can ever prevent a person from praying prior to taking a test!
Our government leaders could use a daily dose of the Golden Rule and some religion before they cast their votes!
Mickey- you have alot of misplaced anger toward your country and misplaced allegiance to the democratic party. America's greatness has declined as the progressive movement took hold as pushed by the liberals of our country. The only political party holding any hope of a return to values of God, country, personal responsibility, and freedom reside in the republican party.
braudboy- your values are not of God and they are not of Jesus. Your GOP is the party of the rich and the rich are the few.
You do not know me. You do not know what I have gone through in my life. Now go to your right wing lawyers, judges, and businessmen and tell them I will not get on my knees to this money you represent to let's meet in a real public forum and not some court of misjustice which is what ylou and big business representy.
You NEVER do any homework. You come by a hub qand just toss out your rhetoric which is so popular with your cult.
Now braudboy- put your faith where it should be. Lwet's get a public forum to debate whether Micky Dee has a right tyo have some anger and to see whether it is misplaced. But right now- you're just doing what you do - you're goose-stepping to SAtan and the money. The woirld is suffering becausde of BIg business.
Do your homework braudboy. Can you google the United Fruit Company?
Can you google Tommy Hifiger and Sweatshops? Have you been pricing Hifiger's shirts? $150 made in impoverished countries. Calvin Klein is $50. Can you google the hundreds of thousands of East Timorese killed by Indonesians trained by Blackwater in the USA, And Blackwater is so disgusting they charged their name to Xe Services. Oh yeah- the weapons used by the Indosians to kill hundreds of thousands of people were M16s made in the USA.
So yeah braudboy - put me down as having some issues with these killings, jobs killed and promoted wherever labor is cheap without responsibilities.
I am not a member of any political party and I call d3emocrats on their falsehoods. But you and your ilk like to separate, isolate, and use the people of the world against themselves.
But- if being a liberal could possibly mean FAIR TRIALS, EQUAL REPRESENTATION WITHOUT EXTRA MONEY, a JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT POLICES ITSELF, ORGANIZATIONS THAT COME TO THE AID OF FALSELY IMPRISONED PEOPLE BY THE MOST IMPRISONED NATION OF EARTH- then sure braudboy. Put me down.
But Jesus does not believe in false imprisonment!
Jesus does not believe in killing for profits!
Jesus said to love your brother as yourself. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
So brauboy - you are not religious. You have no idea what Jesus is about. If you did you would not come to the aid and defense of of Art Pope and big business like him that influence the vote and put Satan in elected positions. There can be no other conclusion for people of faith. You certainly cannot ide3ntify with Jesus.
Now you continually FAIL TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK LIKE READING TYESE INSTRUCTIONS: Please comment with this stipulation. There is to be no defense of this BIG BUSINESS as usual.
I will not argue with Satans' helpers.
"Do your homework. Please comment with this stipulation. There is to be no defense of this BIG BUSINESS as usual.
I will not argue with Satans' helpers.
Do your homework."
Braudboy - you NEVER EVER have anything new, intelligent, relative, etc.
I will not work for you. If you continue to comment after my request for you to stop I will see what c an be done with you. I don't believe your party should exist. It represents the few and the rich, certainly, praise God, not the moral or spiritual.
Whether Satan and his minions like it or not - we are our brothers' keepers.
That was settled in the Garden of Eden and it is not up for debate.
Thousands of years later Jesus reiterated.
Whether you like it braudboy, whether your GOP or your PIG likes it - we are our brothers' keeper.
Whether your GOP likes it or not braudboy - we are to love our brothers and sisters.
It is this GOP with these twisted locked -boot-goose-stepping to Mammon that enslaves this planet called Earth that Jesus said to pray like this for: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on this Earth as it is in Your heaven..." and so on and we are commanded by Jesus to pray this way.
Now braudboy you get your judges, your lawyers, your are4na for whatever battle you want and let's get it on - but this is a televised event!
So quit coming around to my hubs braudboy. You have no desire to follow Jesus so quit your charade. Get your "boys" together for whatever you want. I've made a similar request to you before.
So get your act together. Get all the klan together come on.
But I do not have time to baby-sit a braudboy!
Fascism braudboy:Fascism (play /?fæ??z?m/) is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology.Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy. It was founded by Italian national syndicalists in World War I who combined left-wing and right-wing political views, but it gravitated to the right in the early 1920s. Scholars generally consider fascism to be on the far right. However, according to Alan Milward, fascist economic controls were left wing.[11] Fascists believe that a nation requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong. They advocate the creation of a single-party state. Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition to the state.
Fascism rejects the concepts of egalitarianism, materialism, and rationalism in favour of action, discipline, hierarchy, spirit, and will. Fascists oppose liberalism (as a bourgeois movement) and Marxism (as a proletarian movement) for being exclusive economic class-based movements. Fascists present their ideology as that of an economically trans-class movement that promotes ending economic class conflict to secure national solidarity.
But the Wikipedia definition seems to contradict itself: "Fascism rejects the concepts of egalitarianism, materialism, and rationalism in favour of action, discipline, hierarchy, spirit, and will."
But then it says:"Fascists present their ideology as that of an economically trans-class movement that promotes ending economic class conflict to secure national solidarity."
Yes braudboy put me down as having a beef with expensive clothes made in foreign countries while mills are closed here in my town and most towns.
I have a lot of problems with terrible morally corrupt business. I don't like cheap toilet seats. They shouldn't be made.
But Micky Dee is for truth.
My God is truth.
Micky Dee is for millions of Americans.
I'm for millions of Mexicans, Central Americans, South Americans, Africans, ETC.
Put me down for wanting all people to share in resources that God put here for us all and NOT for JUST Y'ALL!
Here is the most vile part abouty being a "braudboy", a mouthpiece for the dictators:
Because I, Micky Dee, am against tyranny-
because I, Micky Dee, am against lies, big business that is dishonest,
because I, Micky Dee does proudly admit that he is against crooked politicians - whether they be democrat or the republican,
for this - this braudbpoy, and indeed he is aptly named boy, as he behaves like a spoiled chi9ld, accuses me of a lack of patriotism?
Yes. And you can defend all the henchmen of hell and do what you will with me but I will follow the laws of Jesus. Get behind me! Do what you will and you do your best behind the scenes. Get behind me! I don't have to paint a better picture!
I commend you for claiming Jesus and for acknowledging him as Lord and Savior. But you should open your eyes to the obvious. Satan does not always come at you with an open assault. He often deceives and covers his lies with false faces. Your democratic party and this liberal movement to care for mankind is riddled with corruption and evil. There is no real framework of Godly principles and no stamp of approval from Jesus. Rather, you will find the liberal movement has assaulted the teachings of Jesus and have attempted to remove any resemblence of him from our daily lives. They want him reduced to some silent, private prayer that is done away from the public square. Are you listening and paying attention. Your heart is in the right place....now get your mind right.
I have culled your last comment as you continually lump me with a political party. If your GOP will get off its duff and out weigh what it does for the rich man with better treatment for the poor you might have a real political party.
Now you insulted me in your last, that I deleted, that I was angry all the time. If you didn't get your panties in a knot about any train of thought that doesn't comply with yours, Hitler's, "Newt Divorce your wife on her hospital bed Gingrich", and others of your neo-conservative crowd that isn't interested in any conservation but the status quo, you would know that I write humor as well.
There just isn't much funny, fun, of humane about your business.
Debate, debate, debate.
Put some meat on the barbee braudboy. But you can't play real hard ball can you? You just insult and have no idea about the history of America or the present. Go get all your info at fox and GOP headquarters.
And braudboy if you knew the Bible or didn't lie about it, you would know exactly what Jesus says about prayer. He actually said almost exactly, "Do not go to school and pray! Go to you PRIVATE PLACE!"
If you were not goose stepping nazi for a communist corporate America that is against the people of America and the world you would actually STOP LYING!
You braudboy, are a waste of time. You issue nothing but confusion. And confusion is of the devil.
You cannot misinterpret the Bible as you do and not be the tool of evil. Impossible.
I will not work for you.
Go back to to whence you came.
Jesus also says to be in constant prayer. "In every situation, present your requests to God". Anyway, you have dismissed me and condemned me without even understanding that I am very much a Christian and a believer in Jesus. You claim the "holy ground" and accuse me of being with Satan. You need some humility and need to open your eyes to what is truly happening. You think you can proclaim the name of Jesus and then any thought or idea you have is "gospel". You are wrong. Wake up!
Can you read? Of course you can.Wnhy don't you? You read what's comfortable for you and "your" religion.
I know what the Bible says.
Don'y lie to God.
Go to your quiet place to pray and don't make a lying spectacle of your faith.
You are here to trip.
That is your party.
That is your faith.
Attack!
Insult!
Trip!
Confuse!
That is your party.
That is a braudboy and yes I dismiss you and all liars.
Condemn?:
1. to express an unfavorable or adverse judgment on; indicate strong disapproval of; censure.
2. to pronounce to be guilty; sentence to punishment: to condemn a murderer to life imprisonment.
3. to give grounds or reason for convicting or censuring: His acts condemn him.

6. to force into a specific state or activity: His lack of education condemned him to a life of menial Jobs.
7. to declare incurable.
I'd say you fall under many of the scenarios up top and especially 6 and 7.
Your's is trickery. Witchcraft.
You want to acquire a status not on your merit but on your ability to bully, twist, and lie.

COME ON braudboy! GIVE ME ANOTHER LIE TO REFUTE!
But you don't just totally lie outright do you?
No! You put a wisp of truth about "praying": "In every situation, present your requests to God".
That I will do at your request and adhering to this policy of yours I submit that you are using the Bible as a WEAPON!
The truth is not in you. You are a slave to Mammon!
And with every lie you tell you ingrain more truth seekers to dispel this cult of the GOP.
And I am still not a democrat!
I heard it once said Micky Dee...'that a soft answer, turneth away wrath'. Perhaps if God was still allowed in the classrooms of our schools, there would not be the bullying issues, or the guns where children go around shooting each other. No matter what party we choose to go with, in politics or what or whom we choose to believe in...humans always try to pick a fight with those of whom stand up for the good. Especially if one is trying to do what's right. : ) I liked your hub and do not agree with all the comments here, but I know someone out there has to care about our country and what it use to be. A country with hope and decency. Not fear, bickering and fighting over who may be right or wrong. The answers begin within ourselves and what we know deep down is right, not what is within ones pocketbook or misguided followings. Love you MD for sticking up for that which you believe in. : )
Dear shygirl thank you very much for your comment. Don't think anything of my rambling. I thought a lot about what I should say on my bike ride awile ago. A lot of what I say is not to you but to me and whoever wants to get on board. It ain't my train. So God bless you.
The proof is right above us. There can be no debate. This braudboy's religion? This braudboy's view on the Golden Rule? Braudboy's Jesus? No thank you!
I love Jesus.
I try my best, through persecution, to adhere to that Golden Rule. That Golden Rule is the greatest command of OUR Jesus.
NO! I follow Jesus. This Christianity of adhering to the GOP is deathly wrong. And no! I do not want that Christianity in any schools.
We are talking FAKE Christianity. People like the braudboy want that Christianity and his party of the GOP that does not believe in health-care for any one but the GOP.
God said you will know them by their fruit.
The Golden Rule isn't just a good idea. It is the law for preachers to preach and teachers to teach.
But I would rather have no religion than the fake religion.
If you will notice I stipulated that I did not want this Art Pope defended. He's GOP. He fixes elections.
No religion should affix itself to any religion and that is exactly what I see of a bulk of Christians and I will say that is wrong. For anyone to sell out to money, well let's not go there. I already wrote that hub.
Anyone can see the evidence above us here why NOBODY should put their religion ahead of the religion OR non-religion of anyone. The evidence is above.
I wrote the "Don't check in to defend Art Pope"- and there is no defense, but I wrote that for braudboy. He says the same stuff over and over and THIS was my hub. I don't want to work for braudboy. Read and tell me what the point is?
And again - NOBODY HAS A RELIGION BETTER THAN MINE!
I don't want the religion of anyone who loves me or not.
But why aren't life saving classes DEMANDED in schools?
Why isn't honesty voted on? You will never get a savior out of Harvard. And I NEVER want the religion of these monsters in a school!
Speak every word that is BEST documented for Jesus to have said. WONDERFUL! I am ALL for it.
Speak every word that Gandhi is best documented to have said. Amen!
Put to say people from all sorts of insanity will be teaching ANY religion is preposterously foolish!
Because priests and preachers fondle children and do all kinds of mischief. I've written a hub already.
No. Teach morals! Aesop's fables!
Teach the children to never trust a lawyer, a politician, or anyone of power or fame.
But a religion taught by people from everywhere with agendas. No.
To insist that no other faith be taught?
No!
That is why they call it faith.
Also - nobody here on Earth - can stop a prayer.
Our "faith" should begin at home. But - only those of true pure faith should be considered for our highest offices. If America would clean house when it finds fault with our "leaders"- like a the fervor that would be directed at crack-house we could see some difference.
Richard Nixon "is not a crook" all the way to the chopper that whisked him away. He shot us peace or victory signs as he was leaving.
But I don't want a religion taught in school that rewards "the money" when they're bad and keeps electing lawyers that make it possible.
If we will all agree to put MY Christ in school - sure.
Well Micky Dee, you have made your point and I have listened. I have also read your views and even admit that some things I may not fully comprehend or even understand. I may not even agree with either side. I suppose I have always felt that religion and politics have never mixed well together anyway, as it will always be in a state of turmoil and disputed by those who choose to take a stand for or against it. They say polictics and religion should never be spoken of in the work place, as it causes division amongst the mass. Perhaps, differing views are just this...a matter of choice and thought.
Awww...Micky Dee, God should not be fought over like he's just a piece of meat. We should all have a right to our voice, even if we don't always agree with our fellow man. In politics, it is as shygirl2 says...it is just a matter of choice, what we tend to think and whom we choose to follow. : ) Have a good day, despite your seemingly distraught words over matters that can't always be explained so easily.
It's March Madness. The television is full of young black men playing basketball for pristine colleges.
You have a nation that is the most imprisoned nation on Earth.
This is supposed to be titled the "land of the free".
Sadly there is NO compassion for the miscarriage of justice every day.
It is senseless to repeat that our leaders are of Beelzebub.
But many of you will not do research. You take America's problems all in stride because - you, or someone close hasn't been imprisoned.
And some want to put their God in school.
I don't think anybody reads and cares.
Those black basketball players are a tiny fraction of the young black men in jail.
Yet everyone has their opinion.
What a lovely way to dismiss it all.
I'm going to keep promoting that Golden Rule.
I'll keep speaking about corruption no matter what party or person is the root.
We have endless war and that's okay. Lewt's put prayer in the school.
Our politicians are professional liars. Let's put Christ in the schools.
American businesses are selling weapons that are killing hundreds of thousands of people in East Timor. The killers are taught in the US. Let's put Jesus in school.
I have news for you - this government of the rich, and if you don't think so you're not paying any attention, will keep on killing our young men whether the boys become Tibetan monks or preachers.
Shame!
Hey Micky, can you hear anybody but yourself speaking? There has been corruption in this country way before we were ever born, including in the days when J.F. Kennedy was in office. Money has always spoken power, as with in all countries. Nothing new there!! DON'T BLAME GOD OR CHRIST for the follies of men! If you do, those who once believed in what we thought was a kind and gentle man in you, will simply walk away with sadness, knowing you are not whom you claim to be as well. Remember when you point a finger, there is always four more pointing back at you. I care about the wrong doings in my country, but ranting and raving never solves anything. It just makes one seem small and postal. So before you are too quick to judge others, take a look in the mirror and face your misery. Deal with it and move on. Life is too short to be angry all the time. I hate to see you like this...and this...? more like a forum than a comment box. You will choose to think what you will, but I still care about you anyway.
Excuse me ariasnote.
"DON'T BLAME GOD OR CHRIST"
This is yet another reason to not have YOUR Christ in a school.
There is NO relation with blaming God or Christ in any message here.
Ranting? Raving? This was a hub.
I wrote a hub.
NO RANTING.
NO RAVING.
Check out your response and any response that is of a different opinion. It's insulting coming from your braudboy.
It's insulting coming from, you.
I am not here to be well thought of. Let's get this straight. And for you, braudboy or anyone else to criticize me for my beliefs, is exactly why your God and braudboy's God and religion should not be taught in schools.
It was a statement.
I have every right to believe as I do. You and many others. I am sorry to find out that you will insult to make your point which I still haven't gotten because your your falsehoods here.
"DON'T BLAME GOD OR CHRIST" Where do you get that? Once again- this is exactly why NO religion should be taught in school. I don't blame God. It is asinine to make that statement. I clearly hate the GOP. I blame this false political party. I have not once said GOD is to blame! I blame this electoral process of electing lawyers who's job it is to get around laws, that are in place for a reason.
Ariasnote - and everyone else- please go your way. There is nothing to bring you to sanity or the Golden Rule. The United States of America WILL NOT take up that Golden Rule which is the foundation of Christianity. God's greatest commandment is not that we believe that Jesus even rose from the dead. The order from JESUS is that we love one another. We treat others as we would like to be treated. You ariasnote have proved that you have no intention of doing that. Braudboy has no intention of doing that. America with lawyers at the helm WILL NEVER be a true Christian nation and it is impossible.
I am not here on hubpages to be loved. I am not on Earth to be loved and our country has proven that.
Still Americans, of the land of the free will keep its head turned from the FACT that America is the most imprisoned nation on Earth.
I want to thank all the writers here a so far for proving everything I say. I hate it too. I wish it weren't so.
No- your God is not what I want anywhere. You have no compassion so your God doesn't either.Thank you all. I certainly have no cross of my own I will speak as God wants me to speak We have millions of you voting for George Bush, not once, but twice. It seems like a political party can live with it's choices -m but the GOP is not one of them. The GOP voted twice for Bush. Christians went along after the first travesty of his election. Then what happens? Within months Bush's approval rating is close to 30%.
But I don't appreciate the lame psychology. Micky
Dee is always mad. Sure I can type really fast and hard when I see attacks like, "DON'T BLAME GOD OR CHRIST". Sorry - this is on that evil side. Once again- thank you for making me absolutely RIGHT!
It never ceases to amaze me, and it should. I stipulated- because I didn't want a rant, a rave. I stipulated: Please comment with this stipulation. There is to be no defense of this BIG BUSINESS as usual.
I will not argue with Satans' helpers.
Do your homework.
So ariasnote- let it go!
Shygirl - let it go!
braudboy - let it go.
This is my hub. Go write one of your own. But to say I'm ranting, when I laid down a hub and the stipulations for responding? I knew it would be just like this. And THIS IS WHY YOUR GOD HAS NO PLACE IN MINE OR WITH ANY CHILD I MIGHT HAVE! Thank you for this 100% validation!
It is your hub, Micky...and no one is trying to claim it. But your write hubs to share with others, and we are giving you our feedback. It is error to think you know everything and to ignore others input. Again, I admire your commitment to Jesus, but most of the rest of your thoughts are wandering. Your certainly have a deep hatred for the republican party, while promoting some type of structure that resembles communism or socialism. You admire democrats while running for office, but then become disappointed in them after they take office. At some point, you should realize that they are consistently fooling you and not go down that road again. Anyway, you do seem to come to judgemental conclustions toward me and others who question your logic. This is probablay not a characteristic of our Lord's teachings.
braudboy stay away if all you have is a lie. It's time for pretenders like yourself to get up! St6and up! You have backed the wrong horse. Live with it.
You come with another lie. First off I am not Jesus., But it's done BB. If you are backing a political party that does not believe in health-care for all God's people and not those who "can afford it". That is evil. Slice your bread somewhere else.
"This is probably not a characteristic of our Lord's teachings" - you are a liar.
I condemn any party that will not support its people.
Jesus through the money changers out of the temple., Well I'd like to see our current money changers stop supplying the world with arms, etc.
This is accord with the teachings of Christ.
When you claim to be anything like a Christian and you support a party as you do, when you come by hubs of your choice and continue harassment- You braudboy are not in accord with the teachings of Christ. You are no Christian I would ever want as a t4eacher - now as a teacher of your faith? You can't be as out of your mind that bad and still drive a car. Face it- you're a mean person. You promote a mean policy. You support a mean party. Get over yourself.
So what are you doing here? I said you are not going to change my mind, my faith and with every syllable you punch out you validate EVERYTHING I SAY!
Get over it braudboy. You are Christian by definition or I'll change my affiliation. No- you are something that repulses me. I never want you to teach one ethic to any child. There is a sinister motive to everything you do.
It's a done deal. You insult repeatedly. My message is ALWAYS for the people of the world. It's never going to change. I am not for just "Christians" as you or anyone will define them. I don't want any religious NUT in schools teaching their fanaticism and distortion. You are living proof. you are documented right here over and over again and you continue to prove why Christianity - or YOUR FORM of it should never be taught anywhere.
It has nothing to do with the reality of Jesus Christ and all this fake Christianity of holding a preposterous piece of scripture or twisted ideology over someone's head repeatedly is nothing more than Satanism. This is not Christianity. This is the antichrist. You are false.
God's greatest law is the Golden Rule.
Like it or not the greatest law of Jesus Christ is the Golden Rule. If you or your play party doesn't uphold this law in actuality and spirit you are against THE law.
This is not "a" law of Micky. This is not "a" law at all! IT IS THE LAW.
The law of Jesus is not to put Jesus Christ in schools. The law of Jesus Christ is the Golden Rule. You DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. You and your party have dismissed this law for money.
Now braudboy - I'm used to people like you who are mostly gutless. You bully people. You come by and you make your insult of a few words. There may be a grain of truth in an iota of what you may say but its always out of context and it is always in favor of bad habits. You're an open book.
You lie. You are the dishonesty that tears this world apart. You support it.
It should be easy for you. I write 50 times what you do to get my point over. You write noting ever of any consequence. I've watched your lunacy in three hubs now. You've called me a coward. You've43 called me lazy. You've said I've wanted a contest.
I have call you out on everything you have bullied me about and you are a complete waste of time. There has never been anything Christian about you.
Now tell me that I'm exhibiting conduct not accepted by "your" congregation and allow me to add, "Whew! Thank God almighty."
Give it up. YOU, braudboy, are EXACTLY why NO religion should be taught in school.
I appreciate your continued validation.
If a political party will not work for all the people that political party needs a funeral. Your party has abandoned the people for money. You're backing the wrong horse and you will never admit it. But it's all here. There is no amount of lying that you can do to set yourself or your party right.
You, your religion in a school! No thank you. You have nothing to do with Christ. If you did you would take up his order, you would defend His greatest law as I do.
No - you and I are not of the same faith. I follow Christ and whatever you're following I want no part of.
Ariasnote tells you not to be angry. I don't see any anger in your hub. Only facts and truth. He/she is delusional. This is a good hub. Keep writing.
Oh Hummingbird! You make me hummmmmmm! Know that I love you dear sweet Hummingbird!
You've been going superepic here recently, Sir! Now I've got my comp back, and I look forward to catching up with this kind of work!
Hi Wes! Godspeed brother man!
You surely exude love for your fellow man. I read each comment you made above and the love overflows from your heart.
Jesus was no socialist. He told me and you to care for the poor, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give drink to the thirsty, visit the prisoner in jail. He never said to have Caesar do it for us. If the government takes 50% of all income that of course takes away half the money each of us has to work with for private charity.
I mentor disadvantaged young men. I have given 30% of my income to the poor over my lifetime. But I do not want a socialist government because every increase in government power has an equal decrease in individual freedom.
Progressive politics has an unbroken record of victories since the 1970s. Look at the America they have made with their godless socialism, or secular humanism as they call it.
Do you think America was better or worse in 1960 than it is today? I didn't say perfect, I said better or worse.
Socialism has been tried in the USSR, under Mao, under Hitler, under Pol Pot. The 20th century is littered with the hundred million corpses of failed utopias. The engine that drives it all is ENVY.
One study showed that 90% of Americans would be content with $50K per year IF their neighbors made $25K. The same study shows that 90% would be unhappy with $50K if their neighbors made $100K. There is a lot of focus on what other people have. Many people feel they are entitled to take other people's property.
James- you're a political idiot. I've read y6our Vietnam hub and you offend the hell out of me.
Your Vietnam hub is so full of bias it is a lie.
You offend me!
you do not know Jesus or anything about Him.
Now you're bringing up nonsense about socialism.
you have no idea. Unfortuantely - many Americans like your "view".
You stupid moron! NOBODY WANTS EVERYTHING DONE FOR THEM! NOBODY MORON!
Tear down that damn Vietnam War hub or get it right.
right now- you're the biggest liar on hubpages.
I don't follow you.
I will not read a word you type at your hub. You know little. But the lies you've shoved about Vietnam is atrocious.
I AM A VIETNAM VET AND YOUR VIETNAM HUB URINATES ME OFF! YOU ARE A LIAR.
Here's a thought James- how about putting the Bushes to work? How about the Queen of fliiping England? You do not believe in socialism. you - just - like - it - for - your - pretend - playmates.
Put the Rockefellers to work. Or, are they too busy with their "breeding of people for certain tasks". you are like so many people in America who swear they are sophisticated, intelligent, blah. You really have no idea how this country is run. but it is run by the media and who really owns the media? You hardly know anything. But you do that republican thing really well. God's people don't belong to political clubs. That's in the BOOK!
How about we put the Kennedy's and Roosevelts to work?
I have walked with Jesus all my life. I am a sinner of course. And I have been wrong plenty. But I do know Jesus intimately.
Remember, Jesus was not a hater. Put a little love in that heart. It will help you. It can't hurt.
Now, what is your beef exactly with my Vietnam Hub? A dozen or more combat veterans of that war loved it. I had two of my Vietnam War friends review it before I published it and they gave it the thumbs up. In fact, I got not one negative response. Now you say I LIED in my Vietnam Hub? Lied about what precisely? Tell me one lie in it and I will change it.
Micky, I'm not sure WHAT is going on in your life, but James is right...Jesus was NOT a hater. Say what you will about me, but I send nothing but love and prayers to you. I hope you can overcome your hatred.
James-Your bias toward the LEFT wing. It is offensive knowing that Vietnam was started supposed by democrats but Eisenhower got us into Vietnam. But you act as though the democrats are sissies and communistic. You're just painting the pictures with a good old slant toward your party of the GOP, grand oil party.
It is political bias to the point of inaccuracy.
yeah I am offended.
CMerritt -you - like much of America - do not know how this country is run. Now be ridiculous. Hate? Everybody hates something. Don't pretend anything else.
Jesus hated the actions of the scribes and pharisees and put me down for it too.
And you're right CMerritt - you don't have a clue what's gone on in my life - so - I hope you can overcome your hatred and ignorance.
I have NO hatred...I have learned to let it go....I may not like everything, but it seems to me that Offending YOU is wrong, but for you to offend others is okay?....golden rule?
Mick for the life of me, I want nothing more than to understand you.
Blessings to you, Mick....and hate me all you want...I'm not going away.
CMerritt- I have seen the underbelly of America. I have seen the court injustice up close and personal.
And - there is no need to discuss these things with people who will not make a difference anyway.
I just know stuff you don't. Let's leave it at that.
But - whether you or the man in the moon want to take me for what I am and intend to seek the truth for yourselves is up to you. But- about everything you folks think you know about politics - is wrong. And Jesus gave away His health-care whether James can see that or not. Whether you can see that or not! This is not up for debate - WE ARE OUR BROTHERS"S KEEPERS!
But the bottom line is - you keep electing lawyers and there will never be a savior from the republican party. There won't be one from the democrats either. But I've seen enough hatred toward me on these hubs from hypocrites.
I said I don't like the Vietnam hub. What do you want?
You want me to lie?
You want me to be your puppet?
Go on the road with some other dummy.
If you fellows want me to echo everything you say - don't wait up.
This hub was about "putting Christ back in school".
I try to make a truthful stand about everything in my life.
But you folks have a "view" that I have not enjoyed. I've seen more "stuff" and my feet are grounded.
So don't tell me I have no voice.
Don't tell me I have no right to my opinion.
But YOU TWO have done almost no homework on matters that matter!
This is not meant to insult. It's what it is. You've not gotten beyond the epidermis of America. Whether you like it or not. And- here's the best part - you still will not do your homework but rely on the homogenized version. But - for a political party? And this one?
Your heart is GOOD, your Hubs are EDIFYING! God Bless OU Mickey Dee!! Voted-Up!
I love you dear Pastor. God bless!

We won't get Christ back in schools until we get government back out of schools.
Where in the Constitution does government derive authority over schools?
It does not, so we need to kick them out of our schools and go back to parent owned and administered schools.
(You know, the ones that actually taught our kids?)
