Wars and Rumors of Wars

Friday, April 21st, 2006

i am not a firm beleiver in the "end times" theory of fundamentalist christians, but i am a christian and am familair enough with the bible and the book of revelations to see some signs. It is scary to look around our world and see the wars that are going on. We are primarily focused with iraq, but this is certainly not the only conflict going on in the world. The U.S. is still in Afghanistan, we have forces all over the world. Look at the problems going on around us. Russian satellite countries like in the Balkans and Chechenya, Africa with the terrible attrocities going on between warring tribes, South America with the rebels. There are conflicts going on everywhere. And if Iran makes a bomb it will hit israel first, the U.S. second. Now a South American country is learning how to enrich plutonium. Are we going to invade them, too? Because we are gearing up to invade Iran, watch and see. And how does this reflect what the bible says, or the "'end timers"? Well, the conflicts around the world are increasing, famine is rampant, the moral decline is on a fast track, (notice how rude people are these days.?), the weather is definetly screwing up. Now all we have to wait for is a charismatic leader who will appear to have the answers to the worlds problems. Another sign is the one world government theory. Well, what the hell is democracy doing?? What is Bush and his cronies doing? Building a one world democratic government. Cheney talks about a global economy already.  And Bush is bound and determined to be king of the world. So maybe these people aren't so far fetched after all. Think about it.

Illegal Immigration

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

i live right on the mexican border in the rio grande valley, the population is predominatly hispanic. a great deal of them are illegal, and i have a problem with that. my stand is simply this: as long as you can enter this country legally, then there is no moral reason to enter illegally. if these people can pay a “coyote” thousands of dollars to get them across, then why can;t they use than money to enter legally? i am tired of news reports of tractor trailers filled with dead people. americans are quite capable of doing the work these people do, too many americans are out of work. I’d like to think that any american that is out of work and needs to feed a child would work any field or clean any house to accomplish that. Illegals do not pay into our system, they send the money back home, they get paid under the table for the most part, therefore, the do not pay taxes. i could go on and on and will probably continue this rant in another blog!!
