Vultures In Our Midst

There is a sickening message playing itself out over and over in this country today.

Your loss...my gain!

I had never heard of a family losing its home in all my previous life. And I’ve been around a long time.

Today the words foreclosure, bank owned, upside down mortgage, as is, short sale, and the rest of the new vocabulary for a new America are now as familiar as I think I’ll wash my hair today.

Scavengers sniff thru bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms in disapproval of taste, especially color selections, not appreciating that their teenager will paint the walls of their room in at least as hideous a color.

There is something else going on. The family losing its home trashes it before leaving. I'm talking trashes it.

This is a side of America never before exposed. And it isn’t pretty.    

A recently foreclosed property was looked at by a prospective buyer with that familiar greedy enthusiasm and lack of sympathy with no appreciation that he may be next.

Too bad for us.

Pray for President Barack Obama

Look folks, we’ve got problems. This is only one of the cockroaches that reared its ugly head.

Kansas Speaker of the House Mike O'Neal has urged his fellow Kansas House Republicans to pray for President Barack Obama's death.

He forwarded an email to his Kansas House GOP colleagues that asked them to pray Psalm 109. Psalm 109 contains the following lines:

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.


The email included a personal message from O'Neal that read:

At last—I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up—it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!

Remember when Republicans were all up in arms about respect for the office of the President?
You know, just over four years ago.

No?

Don't remember?

Funny how time flies.


In the meantime, secret service, you're needed in Kansas, there seems to be some light treason going on in the legislature.

OMG!

May I let go with a few choice words of my own? Please? Thanx!

Why, you ugly old hypocritical bastard fart! Crawl back into the woodwork!
