Jesus & Capitalism, Mathew 25:13-30
13 “Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour. 14 For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The one who had received five talents went off right away and put his money to work270 and gained five more. 17 In the same way, the one who had two gained two more. 18 But the one who had received one talent went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money in it. 19 After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled his accounts with them. 20 The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, saying, ‘Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’ 21 His master answered, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful in a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 The one with the two talents also came and said, ‘Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.’ 23 His master answered, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered, ‘Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t scatter? 27 Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest! 28 Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten. 29 For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 30 And throw that worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth’” (Matthew 25:13-30). 271

Afghanistan
Houston Chronicle article:
Lily1 Commented:
This woman has again stepped up to the plate with what should be a logical response to assist Afghanistan. We already know that our current crop of diplomats are idiots and political hacks. Maybe if the US would have provided the assistance needed all those years ago we would not now be spending billions and losing our men and women in this difficult place.

@ lily1, cyfairdog, & common sense:
.
I knew that somehow al Qaeda and the Taliban were our fault.
.
What a load of B.S.!!!!
.
If the Taliban and al Qaeda hadn't set up shop in Afghanistan, then it would have been in some other S. hole country. There are many poor countries in the world, but you do not see all of them behaving like this.
.
Paki-ghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia are all screwed up, because of their backward, tribal ideology.
.
Why would we reward bad behavior, by dumping billions of dollars (that we would have to barrow) into infrastructure for Afghanistan? They would just blow it up, anyway.
.
There are many other countries that would be more deserving, and more appreciative of our assistance.
.
We cannot afford to go around, trying to change every jihadi infested country, into South Korea!
.
Whenever we see a terrorist organization hunkering down in some rat hole country, we should hit the terrorist hard with unmanned drones. We can send in elite ground units, and support them with air power, if need be. Wherever these nasty bastards pop their heads up, we need to knock it off... quickly and quietly.
Just leave their central government alone. Their central government is not our problem!
New plan for an old cause
The force behind Charlie Wilson's War is at it again — trying to bring Afghanistan and its people into the 21st century

Social Security and Medicare
Article on the Houston Chronicle's website:
"The first baby boomers will be old enough to qualify for Medicare Jan. 1, and many fear the program's obituary will be written before their own."
Xliberalfool commented:
Baby boomers paid into the Medicare/Social Security system, and then they depended on the government to take care of them, when it came time. That is all fine and well. Where they screwed up is by letting politicians spend that money, instead of saving it. I do feel sorry for my father's generation, but I feel worse for mine and my daughter's generations. Now, we have to pick up the check.

Crazy Africa
(CNN) -- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, distressed over a call to attack the hotel where Ivory Coast's president-elect and U.N. security forces are based, said Thursday that the forces are "authorized to use all necessary means to protect its personnel" and any others at the location.
Xliberalfool replied to DoubleDump:
The vast, vast majority of dead Iraqi and Afghani civilians were killed by Iraqi, Afghani, and Pakistani mooslims. The Taliban just recently killed 12 Afghan civilians with a road side bomb. Marvelous people!!!
...but don't let the truth get in the way of your hatred for the west. We wouldn't want that, now would we.

Both the United Nations and these little cesspool African nations, are worthless! We need to get rid of the U.N., befriend the decent African countries, and completely ignore these crazy cesspool nations in Africa. When they get there stuff together, then they are welcome to join the rest of the world.

Romanian, SkyDiving, Liberals
Yahoo News story:
"BUCHAREST, Romania – Romania's Parliament cancelled a no-cofidence vote Thursday after a man flung himself from the chamber's balcony, apparently in protest over the governmen't austerity measures."
Xliberalfool wrote:
So, why did they cancel the vote? Now that the people of the world knows that this works, Romanian government workers are going to be doing "swan dives" from every balcony in the country.
The U.S. will not be much better. The floor of the U.S. House of Representatives is going to be littered with "fallen liberals"!!!

Houston Chronicle story:
"Harris County law enforcement agencies will again crack down on drunken drivers during Christmas and New Year's, but the expanded operations no will longer be limited to holiday weekends."
"The "no refusal" initiative — a countywide program that expedites search warrants for blood samples from drunken driving suspects who refuse breath tests"
Xliberalfool wrote:
Hey, I am fine with this. Give me a blood alcohol test, DNA test, pull my hair out - for a drug test, get a warrant to make me turn my head & cough, or do colonoscopy on me... anything like that is alright by me.
.
Just as long as they do not ask to see our drivers license, registration, or proof of insurance. The police asking to see someone's papers, is too much like Nazi Germany! It may also put unequal burden on minority drivers.
...or at least that is what B.O.'s lackey, A.G. Eric Holder, has been telling us.
