The “Real” Faith of George W. Bush

The real faith of George W. Bush is humanistic and polytheistic. President Bush has shocked evangelicals by his recent interview comments that he believes in evolution, that the Bible is not literal and that no matter the religious belief, all people pray to the same God.

They should be shocked but not surprised. It is because that most evangelicals are dispensationalists and therefore are polytheistic as Bush is; just separated by degrees in their polytheism or belief in many gods.

Bush celebrated Ramadan in the White House soon after 911. He stated that Allah was God on national TV. Why didn’t the Religious Right leaders object back at this time?  Why the silence? Apparently, there is a fundamental belief that man can make his own way and create his own laws.

There is also the humanistic belief among the Religious Right that salvation comes by politics and the GOP is the messiah, therefore they ignore God’s Law-Word as being the only source of truth and justice. Therefore, not a peep about the explosive growth in totalitarian power from Washington D.C. or any opposition to the Patriot Act dismantling our Constitution or our government spying on our citizens. Bush could create and enforce laws upon the American people and yet not be bound by law himself. At his core, he as every humanist is, a law unto himself.

By implication, Bush sits in judgment against God having tried the Almighty and Bush declares that the Bible is a lie; God is not who He said He is and we choose to worship any god in our own way because we are gods determining what is right and what is evil.

Matthew 4:7 [NASV] Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”    8⁽Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;  9and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.”    10Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”

Genesis 3:4 [NASV] The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!    5“For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Interviewer Cynthia McFadden asked Bush if the Bible was literally true.

“You know. Probably not. … No, I’m not a literalist, but I think you can learn a lot from it, but I do think that the New Testament for example is … has got … You know, the important lesson is ‘God sent a son,”‘ Bush said.

“It is hard for me to justify or prove the mystery of the Almighty in my life,” he said. “All I can just tell you is that I got back into religion and I quit drinking shortly thereafter and I asked for help. … I was a one-step program guy.”

The president also said that he prays to the same God as those with different religious beliefs.

“I do believe there is an almighty that is broad and big enough and loving enough that can encompass a lot of people,” Bush said.

Throwing Taxpayer Money at a Dead Auto Industry

This is the end of the American auto industry which follows a similar pattern that the US piano industry experienced at the start of the Great Depression. A bailout for the auto industry is wasted money. They are going with or without the bailout. With the automaker bailout, they will still go bankrupt and we will have flushed billions of dollars down the toilet with them. There will not be any jobs saved with an automotive bailout. We need to get over it. Read the following article for great insight of what would happen without the auto industry.

The End of the US Piano Industry               by Jeffrey A. Tucker

Today the highest-price good that people buy besides their houses is their car, and this reality leads people to believe that we can’t possibly let the American car industry die. We couldn’t possibly be a real country and a powerful nation without our beloved auto industry, which is so essential to our national well-being.

What about the time before the car? Between 1870 and 1930, the biggest ticket item on every household budget besides the house itself was its piano. Everyone had to have one. Those who didn’t have one aspired to have one. It was a prize, an essential part of life, and they sold by the millions and millions.

Americans before 1850 mostly imported their pianos. American manufacturing was nearly nonexistent. After 1850, that changed dramatically. The Gilded Age saw a vast increase in popularity. By 1890, Americans fed half the world market for pianos. Between 1890 and 1928, sales ranged from 172,000 to 364,000 thousand per year. It was a case of relentless and astounding growth.

They were used in classrooms everywhere in times when music education was considered to be the foundation of a good education. They were the concert instruments in homes before recorded music and iPods. They were essential for all entertainment. American buyers couldn’t get enough, and private enterprise responded.

There was the great Chickering piano made by a company founded in 1823 and which later led the world in beauty and sound. There was Hallet and Davis in Boston, J. and C. Fischer in New York, as well as Strich and Ziedler, Hazelton, William Knabe, Weber, Mason and Hamlin, Decker and Sons, Wurlitzer, Steck, Kimball in Chicago, and, finally Steinway.

The American piano industry was the greatest in the world, not because the Americans came up with any new and great manufacturing techniques, though there were some innovations, but because the economic conditions made it most favorable to be manufactured here.

Now It’s Jobs

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

The downturn is following a path so predictable, day by day, that people who comprehend the business cycle don’t even need to read the news. You can intuit what will happen next because it’s happening like a textbook case – even as it is reported with a continued sense of surprise.

Press reporting on the downturn has been like reports from a committee that knows nothing about gravity, but which has nonetheless been assigned to watch what happens when you drop objects from high places.

They keep filing surprised reports about how the objects fall – what a bizarre and unwelcome turn of events – and then they conjure up ways to keep this from happening through some outside intervention. They recommend bailouts, spending, programs, controls, and inflation.

You just want to get their attention and explain: what you are observing is part of the structure of reality itself, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. You can cover your eyes, put up fancy mirrors, turn somersaults, speculate and talk and decry all you want. But in the end, the downturn is a necessary and inevitable response to the previous boom. It must be allowed to continue on its course.

Government bailout hits $8.5 trillion

This bailout reveals the depth of stupidity of our national leaders, the impotence of Congress to say no and the enslavement of ourselves and future generations. You are paying for the greed and mistakes, not only of Wall Street firms, but also the greed and corruption of Congress and the Bush Administration.

 

If our current economy is the result of the inflationary policies of Greenspan that created housing and commodity bubbles, what do you think will be the result of this unprecedented monetary inflation?

 

We are and will reap what we sowed. We have as a nation rejected the Triune God of being Lord of our nation and now we reap His judgment once again. We have legalized theft to steal from the middle class by a majority vote, and give to the poor and the rich.

 

Vies this chart to see where the $8.5 billion has gone.
