I’m a Liberal Conservative. I believe in liberty and conservation.

I don’t know what liberal means, and I don’t know what conservative means.  But if I ask somebody, they will give me an answer, and everybody I ask will give me a some what different answer.  So you got all these different categories of liberalism and conservatism to explain these differences.  You might be in this group or you might be in that group.  What ever group you are in is of course the most enlightened group, and everyone else is either in the dark or just coming around, It is this and including race, sex, religion, politics that keep us divided.  Together we stand, divided we fall.

We may or may not agree on an enemy, but you have to agree that something isn’t right in this world, and something will continue to be wrong as long as we continue to be divided.  As for me, I believe in Liberation and Conservation.  I’m a member of nothing, believe anything is possible and question everything and I’m only sure about one thing: we need to treat each other the way we would want to be treated, because together, we are what we were made to be. And that’s why we are here, to be what we were made to be. War and hunger would end in our world and we might just be able to fix a lot of things we broke.

First supported by the British and then of course the U.S. jumped onboard. Why are we always an extension of Britain? I heard this rumor that in 1812 we had a war with Britain and we won our freedom but it seems to me that we are now the long arm of Britain and have been for some time. I believe in one state, because if you have two states, they will just keep fighting. If Israel wants to be recognized as a nation, then they need to pay the Palestinians retribution and give Muslims equal rights. No longer a Jewish state, but made up of Jews and Muslims who are all equal citizens of that country, because that would truly be a democracy. If they can’t do that, then we need to say, their is no Israel, there is only Palestine, and that is the only fair and right way to do this.

Lyrics to Stone In My Hand :

Ride with the devil, hide with the lord
I got no pistol, ain’t got no sword
I got no army, ain’t got no land,
Ain’t got nothing but the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Ain’t got nothing but the stone that’s in my hand

You say you want a revolution, well get on board
We’ll start a new crusade; we’ll start a holy war
Don’t need no orders, don’t need no plan
I don’t need nothing but the stone that’s in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don’t need nothing but the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don’t need nothing but the stone that’s in my hand

You build your fighter jets, you drop your bombs
You kill our fathers, you kill our moms
You kill our brother and our sisters, and our uncles and our aunts
Still I’m fighting with the stone that’s in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Still I’m fighting with the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
All the love that’s in my heart and the stone that’s in my hand

Blood runs in the gutters, smoke fills the sky
Every son that suffers, every mother cries
So if you’ve had enough and you’re ready for your stand
I’ll be waiting with the stone that’s in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I’ll be waiting with the stone that’s in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
All the love that’s in my heart and the stone that’s in my hand

All the U.S. politicians who support Israel because they largely financed their political campaign and turn a blind eye to the abuse of the Palestinians who live there are hypocrites to everything they took an oath to honor and bring shame on America. That’s why we send Israel Billions in aid each year, far more than any other country and gladly sell them weapons. And if you were an American you’d protest against this. The media who fails to cover the abuse who also receive large amounts of money from Israel are also hypocrites.

I made a comment, “When sickness is profitable it can’t be good.” I was thinking about that and decided I had some more to say about that. Couldn’t find that post again and decided it was time for me to do some writing.

Some people think it is wrong for our tax dollars to pay for medicine. But do they ever think or have they ever realized that over HALF of our tax dollars pay for WARS and National Defense. Enough money to FEED the whole world and that is a fact. To provide medical care for every American wouldn’t cost even that much.

Think about this objectively and ask yourself. Over half of our tax dollars paying for national defense, is it really national defense, or is it “NATIONAL DESTRUCTION.”

There’s a lot more I could say, but I’m going to shut my mouth and ask; You think about this (objectively without prejudice)!

In Hate
They Justify

Let’s love
And let hate and bitterness die
But when we sin
To hate
Gives us a reason why
It lets us justify
Yet, back in the deep woods
The truth lies
A beast we fear
We stay clear
When the light shines
We’ll see
We’ve sinned
With tears in our eyes
We will not be able to justify
Someday
The sun will come
The light will shine
They will find
I was not such a bad guy
With hands held out
I say
Lets love
And let hate and bitterness die
But I bet my hand’s slapped
They say I’ve sinned
I’m not perfect
But it is they
Not I
Who have sinned
And in hate and bitterness
They justify

Just Have A Drink

If you care
You will be cared for
If you see
You will be seen
If you hear
You will be heard
If you feel
You will be felt
And if you could be just a little understanding
You could be understood a little bit

Love is a river
Watering the ground
It makes things grow
If you want some
Just take a chance
Have a drink
And know
If you won’t
Nothing will happen
You will never grow

TREES GROW DIFFERENT

BLIND MANS LANE

You’re going down Blind Mans Lane
Don’t think it’s by any mistake
Can’t see the nails and broken glass
When you get that flat
You’ll have to change that tire you’re riding on
Don’t think it’s a bit of bad luck
Son
As many before you
This lane is named after you
It’s a place we all go
I can talk til my anger has to run
No need to hurt you by repeating myself
We don’t know
Til we are put to a stop
There ain’t no going on
Til you change that tire you’re riding on
That’s what happens
When you ride down Blind Mans Lane

*******************

I had gotten into an argument with my older sister. Can’t even remember what it was about. I was in my car with my family, we were looking at property and I just had to write a poem. I found a pencil and paper and wrote this on top of the engine hood of my car in like 3 minutes. I think it is one of the best poems I have written and obviously it has nothing to do with my sister. Another one of those poems that comes out of no where.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” (NIV).

Many who claim that the bible is the word of God, themselves have not read it, but just believing this because others do, but not actually investigating this claim.

If the bible is the word of God, If this is how he speaks to us, why did he stop speaking to us?

A group of people got together long ago and decided for us what was inspired and what was not, and thus it was called a book of the word of God. Not only is it a book not written by God, but people.  It is also a book not sanctioned by God but people.

Some will say that it survived all these years, so it must be true.  So have so many other scriptures that many have never even heard of.  Because we don’t bother to investigate these things; we just believe what everybody else does.   Our need to be accepted is greater than our need for truth.  Homosexuals have a need to be accepted too.

I consider it to be a worthy book as in sharing the beliefs, opinions and stories of others who like myself, believe in God, but it is no more than that and it should not be taken any more than that.

The word of God is written in your heart.  When you stole that candy bar when you were a child, you knew that you did something wrong, because your heart told you so, and that my friends is the word of God.  As you grew, that word of God may have been corrupted by the world in our need to survive here.  Could this be why Jesus taught that we must be like children to enter his kingdom.  It might take some effort to reach inside and find that once child like understanding of right and wrong, but there is where you will find his word.

This I learned in science class in school (a long time ago):  When an animal species over populates, one of the side effects of this over populating is that some will revert to homosexuality and this is true in all species, including human.
