Anyone else sick of the endless mudslinging right now? Man, thank God for DVR's! It's sickening the amount of ad revenue spent on lies, slander, and blatant misleading propaganda perpetuated by the GOP and the DNC. What gives? How is it, that in this "Great Nation" built on the premise of "In God We Trust" we have two deceitful parties involved with the most disgusting political tactics without remorse?
Makes me think, that this type of activity is so commonplace in our lives at this point, that most people don't give a second thought to spewing mistruths regardless of whom it hurts. Obama and McCain are receiving the brunt of it these last few months but, who do we inflict undeserved pain on in our day to day lives without a second thought?
Jam 3:2-10 MKJV
(2) For in many things we all offend. If anyone does not offend in word, the same is a full-grown man, able also to bridle the whole body.
(3) Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, so that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
(4) Behold also the ships being so great, and driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small rudder, where the impulse of him steering desires.
(5) Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold how little a fire kindles how large a forest!
(6) And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body and inflaming the course of nature, and being inflamed by hell.
(7) For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of sea-animals, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
(8) But no one can tame the tongue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
(9) By this we bless God, even the Father. And by this we curse men, who have come into being according to the image of God.
(10) Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Something that most of us as Christians probably would like to believe we have control over. We don't speak cruel to one another (most of the time) and we certainly would never talk about one another behind backs, now would we?

We should really strive to be better. I know it's time for me to step up, and stop allowing myself, and others around me to perpetuate this problem. Do your part, I implore you.

Speaking of "same as it never was." "In God We Trust" only first appeared on a coin during the Civil War and later made the national motto by an act of Congress in 1956. The real founding principle of the USA is a strict division between church and state.
That division based on keeping Government away from dictating to the church, not the other way around. Which is what their church experienced under British rule.
