Takin' Names

Here's a sign for all of you politicians and media mavens out there:



THIS is going in your Permananent Record:


GOD'S TAKING NAMES.




Forgotten about permanent records? Each school child has what is called a "permanent record." In this cumulative folder, school authorities place all kinds of data on the child, classwork, personal problems, achievements, and anything else of interest. This record goes with the child from grade to grade, from school to school, and finally is filed with other permanent records. That permanent record has a far-reaching effect on the child's life at school, and frequently afterward. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Often, it is filled with errors.



Fortunately, or unfortunately, for us, God's permanent records on us are not filled with errors. Everything we do in our lives goes in our cumulative record, and all of our actions will serve as the basis for Final Judgement. Plus God is not a liberal; and he can tell when you're spinning. There will be no excuses. We will be held to the standard of what we CAN do when we are judged for what we have done. 



Now, from one point of view, you can do whatever you feel like, and at the end of your life, say "Sorry," and check into your preferred suite in those luxury accommodations in Heaven. Those of us with a little more common sense and powers of observation turned on events in the natural world tend to believe this is not as simple as it looks.



We think it's more like a summing up of the total values of one's entire history. And we think God's got real cool permanent records on each and every individual. Like Santa Claus, he sees you when you're sleeping; he sees you when you're awake -- and as one of my Catholic friends says, he can even see the Baptists when they are inside a building.




We think there may be quite a few folks out there on the political front who are relying on the last minute apology. Some Democrat party hacks believe the end justifies the means. Which means they can lie, steal, murder reputations, etc., etc., etc., because they are doing it for the "public good.” Which quite often translates to an increase in their political power. Reminds me of the old Russian communist party bosses, enjoying their dachas and limousines, while the hoi polloi stood in lines and worked their tuskas off for nada, zip, nothing.

The other thing I absolutely hate about those Demo party hacks is their elite attitude that they know what’s best for the rest of us poor smoes, and they’re going to give it to us, whether we want it or not. . .Of course, they can’t tell us what they REALLY have in mind, because, being who we are, we really wouldn’t understand. After all we have to have it dinned into us over and over what jerks we Americans are, giving all that money and food away to those foreigners, I mean, foreign aid, like, dude – how crass can you get? And expecting thanks? How very uncool!

And Bellafonte thinks G W Bush is a terrorist?
Well, the man is sick, I suppose, and his career is on the skids, so you can’t blame him for trying to kick up some PR, with a few treasonous words, can you? It’s not like this country ever did anything for him, is it? He don’t owe us nothin’ – why not give a little aid and comfort to the enemy? After all, with GW on their trail, they need all the help they can get!

I can’t help wondering what Dr. King would have thought of that speech, though. . .
If he were alive now, do you think he’d be pandering to the enemy, or tearing ‘em down?

And that Permanent Record is still out there.
