As in the song "Lawyers In Love" we have a land, a nation with too many in high places willing to do anything for money neglecting people, honor and principle but a change is coming. No more falling for the lie of living only individualistic and independent lives leaving us divided and conquerable by powerful special interests but a people, a nation collaborating for the greater common good in various groups all across the nation. A land of people working together to help one another with a vision moreover as Jesus would have us be. Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Kindness....something about another Land. The change is coming

The Christmas Present Americans Didn't Want But Republicans Forced On Them Anyway and A Present For You And I

What kind of individual or individuals tell you they are giving you a great Christmas present when they know you know that is not true and is even actually intended for someone else and you didn't want it but got the present forced on you anyway? What kind of person is that? What kind of leaders are this that brazenly lie to you and treat you this way?

Leaders that are not accountable to you.

You clearly and strongly told them you didn't want this present for Christmas but they got it for you anyway. The American people unequivocally did not want the Republican tax bill but Republicans  pushed it on them anyway telling them(lying) ensuing growth would pay for it when Americans fully know there is no real precedent for tax cuts to stimulate the necessary economic growth needed to offset these giant corporate tax cuts and check the deficit. Even the CORPORATE OWNED media in the last week, in the moment of truth strangely played the positive side of this Republican tax bill feeling almost like it did when the media turned coat into establishment cheerleaders just before the invasion of Iraq and although not that extreme, the media is clearly soft-peddling the tax bill now.

But why is all this? Why are Republican leaders in congress, the ones that voted for this tax cut bill all smiles, gleefully smiling in your face on TV? Why do they get away with passing it now during the time of year you the people have your guard down full of warm emotions and least likely to be vigilant? Because "YOUR" U.S. Congress, particularly the GOP, are no longer accountable to you.

Because when you, the public, are asked what you believe are the most important political issues before the nation your polls look like this:

1 National Security
2 The Economy
3 Environment
4 Healthcare
5 Civil Rights
6 Immigration
7 Foreign Policy
8 Unemployment/jobs
9 Campaign Finance Reform(refusing to let corporations give unlimited money to congressman to get them elected so that effectively the congressmen are beholding to what the corporations want, the rich want(do you even connect the dots?)

Instead of this:

1 CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM
2 The Economy
3 Healthcare
4 National Security
5 Environment
6 Immigration
7 Civil Rights
8 Foreign Policy
9 Unemployment/jobs

Until Americans fully understand that campaign finance reform is at the core of why they do not get congressmen to vote the way they want they will not get what they want. Until corporations and the rich can no longer give as much money as they want to congressmen to get elected the congressmen will 90% of the time pay back the rich corporations with the legislation the corporations want, not what you want. This is human behavior and common sense 101 but you the American people do not seem to understand this really simple concept nor connect the dots.
Revolutionizing the American government is so very within your grasp but you just don't get it. When the Occupy Wall Street movement spread across the nation and world, you left it up to young people but you should have filled the streets millions strong seeing the best chance you have ever had, short of violent revolution, to take your country back from Wall Street and their money bought off politicians. Don't you see? With the amounts of money behind these congressmen you have to make a very big impression to get their real attention. You didn't do it, they didn't change.

As it is now we move toward the death of American democracy and the very possible birth of anarchy and repression because to avoid it there must be balance, justice and fairness and we are tragically turning the wrong way. Pure equality is unrealistic and probably unwise but the arc we were on toward that ideal is dying. Injustice and the widening gap between rich and poor will bring anarchy and that anarchy will bring repressive police state measures we have seen the establishment flirting with(practicing) now for several years and surely you realize it is not a coincidence.They know they have been doing the people wrong and they have every intention of foolishly staying that course and they know the people are not going to take it for long so they are practicing to "deal" with the people.

We were at the nexus and we got Trump,a Supreme Court justice that favors Citizen's United(citizen's divided and betrayed) that opposes campaign finance reform, and we got a congress writing up radical legislation that favors the rich and powerful almost always in opposition to the people's will.

A present for you and i

All of that is what you are getting and apparently will continue to get here however "here" is not where it's really at. The politics and all of it can be greatly discouraging to those who seek justice and fairness for all particularly at Christmas time but let me share with you something that is really where it's at, something not pushed on you but offered up.

The truth is that "where it's at" is a loving kind great and wonderful place in a land beyond this world. It is the place of the heavenly realm or heaven. It is the real substantial reality you can choose to go to after you leave this temporal fabricated reality at the end of your life.
To ensure you do go there, you, we, all of us must turn away from the darkness of this world, from the dark gravity that has your eventual destruction in mind.
God loves you so very much and wants to deliver you from this fallen world but only your choice can change your nature. It is a choice tied to your inner core, your soul, who you are. Choosing God and all He has for you will transform and regenerate your spirit allowing you to be operable and functional in heaven. Without this change you would be like a key trying to open the wrong locks, a password that no longer works. Your inner man left in it's fallen state of self-centeredness would be "lost" in heaven but...
.
God wants to love you like a father and have you come and be with Him in heaven for eternity.

To do this turn from the "drag you down" dark evil of this world, sin and all of it with a repentent heart. Turn to God and ask him to forgive you of your sin and involvement with the darkness at the core of this world. Ask His Son Jesus Christ to come into your heart, accepting Him as your Lord and Savior, and God will forgive you of your sin and give you a new beginning. He will empower you to throw off the shackles of your past. He will minister to your heart
Be of a seriously repentant sincere heart and God will forgive you as it says He will in His word(1 John 1:9).
God knows your heart and so you will not fool Him. Get real on the inside with Him and He will give you, not just a new start here, but a real loving eternal life beyond this fleeting life. Reject the nature of this dark temporal miserable world and help others do the same.
Follow Jesus and know His ways by reading about God's new covenant with us in the New Testament and pray to God your Father in heaven for help every chance you get. He's listening and ready to do something about it. Your prayers are more powerful than you may think.
Ask God to fill you with His Spirit and empower you so that you can overcome this world.

Love one another, love your neighbor as yourself, love even your enemies. Spread it around.
Go for God's love this Christmas.
