It's About Wisdom and Knowledge - Stupid

I think the most difficult thing to reconcile about the current positions of our federal government, is how little wisdom or understanding that they seem to have about anything. They are so sure of themselves that they do not even take time to read complicated and transforming legislation. They would rather pass the legislation and then weed through it later.

President Obama comes with an idea or a vision on what he would like to see for America. But how much time has he actually spent trying to understand the policies he is espousing? In my humble opinion, not much.

Why else would he leave the Congress to come up with the specifics for his ideas on health care reform? He doesn't have any. He absolutely does not have any idea about what he is trying to accomplish, he just wants to accomplish something. That is dangerous, and it is irresponsible!

I want someone who holds the position of president to speak with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. In other words, why not study something first, come up with a plan, then try tackling it? But no, our government officials sing their Party's party tunes and hold their holy huddles and expect us to rally behind them.

How much would it harm them for us to expect them to actually spend time learning something?

For example, why did President Obama need to stick his nose in a local matter? And when he did, why does he say the police acted "stupidly" and then not explain his reasoning for it? Is he that daft that he thinks whatever he says is fine? Doesn't he realize that his words hold water because of the position he holds?

Wisdom and knowledge define responsibility, and our federal government is acting completely without any understanding of what living life is about. They have become so drunk on power that they care less about reality and more about their own press.

This health care plan being vetted by the Democrats shows how little wisdom our elected officials have.

I am beginning to respect people like Newt Gingrich more. He is not a perfect man or a super hero. He is, however, taking time to understand the issues that are plaguing our nation. We need more people like him who will take time to understand and seek solutions not Party rhetoric.

Maybe I am just ranting today. But someone has to start getting angry enough to see this fiasco for what it is becoming. Someone needs to stand up and start leading or we are in for dire consequences. I am not trying to be an alarmist, just a realist.

Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.Prov 4:7 (NIV)

Power is so tempting that it changes people. Our elected government officials have gained so much yet it has cost them in all the wrong areas of life. So many spend more time dabbling in areas that are unbecoming of a person granted authority by others: improper relationships, greed, pride, hatred, lies, and theft just to name a few.

America is not the greatest country in the world nor does it have the best governing philosophy. It is, by God's grace, the one nation where people are allowed to freely make choices about their lifestyles. It is the one place on earth where the government does not control us and our thought processes (though this is quickly changing). I believe this is by design.

We have a choice to follow God in this lifetime or follow our own worthless paths. America allows this freedom, but the Democrats and those like them want to destroy this basic right, some with intention and some without realizing what forces they are following.

Atheist, evolutionist, and secular humanist views are slowly destroying compassion, truth, and absolutes. Their goal is to create a society of perfection and letting the weak be cast aside and destroyed. For them, only the strong deserve a right to survive and to prosper. For them, natural selection is a better way of life. For them, the cost of keeping the weak around is too much.

Why? When they have to act with compassion, they have to act in a manner that is much like God created them to act. Yet they are so emphatically opposed to following or acknowledging God, they would rather destroy any healthy response towards people that would include grace and mercy because those attributes carry the very fiber of God's image within each of us.

Do we need a health care plan that will help others? Yes, but not at the expense of compassion and mercy. That is what will happen if the Democrats get their way. And the atheist, evolutionist, and the secular humanists will have the beginnings of their lifeless existence. They will continue to push God out of their picture until they get the anarchy they desire.

Wisdom and understanding are what we should seek. But who will take up that mantle and run with it?
