It's a Good Friday.

The entire redemption story, that Christ died for our sins, intersects with Good Friday. It's the day Christians celebrate the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the redemption of mankind from the grips of sin. On the night of his betrayal Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment, to love one another as he love them. This commandment is written on my heart and is what gives me the courage and the willingness to be a servant for all mankind.

Despite the misconception progressive/liberals like myself aren't Christians because we don't wear our religion on our sleeve, I am a Christian. I'm the kind of Christian following the teachings of Jesus Christ to love one another, be my brothers keeper, and to care for the least of these. Jesus was a bleeding heart liberal and so am I.

My wish is for all of us, regardless of our religion (or not), is to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians :"In our Lord Jesus Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."

Down from my soapbox and on to business. The latest MSM talking points are the electorate is angry, President Obama has a low approval rating and republicans are going to regain control of the House and the Senate in the midterm elections. Yeah right. The MSM media must think we the people are stoopid. Seriously. If the party that got us into this mess regains control then we will deserve what we will get. If the party that is obstructing the President's agenda thinks they will be rewarded they are sadly mistaken. We the people may have been born at night, but we weren't born last night. You feel me?

I want to share an email circulating on web which shows the rank hypocrisy of the so called righteous anger of a certain segment of the electorate. I don't know who the author is, but I want to give them a big old fist dap!

We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, but now you get mad!

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got ousted.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed..
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said
illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in Iraq .
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.
You didn’t get mad when, using reconciliation; a trillion dollars of our tax dollars were redirected to insurance companies for Medicare Advantage which cost over 20 percent more for basically the same services that Medicare provides.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark, and our
debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America
deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars,
lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich
richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans... oh hell no.


Good Friday and may peace be with you and yours.
