(Had to correct the typo in the title of the first one)
On this 8th day of the shutdown, the hypocrisy we are seeing is stunning.
Like that of Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer of Texas who told a Park Ranger standing at the closed WW II monument that she should be ashamed of herself for doing the job HE forced her to do.
Or like Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina who authored a letter to John Boehner urging him to close down the government if Democrats didn’t rescind Obamacare. Now Meadows says it breaks his heart to think of people, especially children, being hurt by the effects of the shutdown.
Or Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee saying people will learn they can live with less government than they have, saying this to poor women and children while enjoying a life where all her needs are taken care of.
You couldn’t make this stuff up because you could never envision the kind of open hypocrisy these Republican extremists are displaying. It’s as if they have no self awareness at all.
The word “hypocrisy” literally means “a feigning to be what one is not, especially the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion.” That pretty much sums up what we are seeing every time a tea party Republican opens his or her mouth.
I remember a Peanut cartoon where Charlie Brown tries to fly a kite with no success, while Sally is smiling that hers has gone way up in the air, only to have the wind push it down into telephone wires. Charlie goes inside and then says, “I have to admit I just saw something that made me feel very good.”
I’m not saying I wish something bad would happen to these hypocritical Republicans, but if something that was not life threatening did I have to confess it would probably make me feel very good. At the very least I hope there are consequences to their actions they will not escape, if for no other reason than to prove to them that crime does not pay.

For with every choice comes a consequence. However, standing in integrity is accepting the consequence. Blaming the executive branch is not accepting the consequences, therefore, integrity is out the window.
Are you supposed to be a church minister? Or are you a pseudo politician? You are mixing them up and are not good at either one. A minister would be politically bi-partisan and work on identifying good on both sides for the way they view the world. A politician would have way better reasoning than you show.
No, I am not supposed to be a minister. I am one. And nothing about being one demands that I be “bi-partisan.” I am unashamedly a Democrat because I believe in an activist government and its many social programs. But the shutdown has nothing to do with being “bi-partisan.” Democrats have many faults, and I often point them out, but Republicans are the cause of this crisis. in this instance your “bi-partisanship” is egging them on.
So what about the rule “Separation of Church and State”? Oh, doesn’t apply to you? I have yet to see you say ANYTHING to correct Democrat views. I have a L – O – N – G list that you could start with . . . and something you could even preach on: ARROGANCE!
