But the State Supremes have previously ruled it constitutional.
Psalm 109
1 Do not keep silent, O God of my
praise!
2 For the mouth of the wicked and
the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me
with a lying tongue.
3 They have also surrounded me
with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
4 In return for my love they are
my accusers, But I give myself to prayer.
5 Thus they have rewarded me evil
for good, And hatred for my love.
6 Set a wicked man over him, And
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, let him be
found guilty, And let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few, And let
another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, And
his wife a widow.
10 Let his children continually be
vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.
11 Let the creditor seize all that
he has, And let strangers plunder his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend
mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off, And
in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers
be remembered before the Lord, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted
out.
15 Let them be continually before the Lord, That He may cut off the memory of
them from the earth;
16 Because he did not remember to
show mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the broken
in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it
come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with
cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him like the
garment which covers him, And for a belt with which he girds himself
continually.
20 Let this be the Lord’s reward
to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person.
I’d hate to be on the wrong side of THAT prayer.
Last night I watched the movie
Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer and Joseph Cotton.
Charles Boyer is trying to drive his wife Ingrid Bergmann insane, or at least
make her look insane too have her locked up so that he can gain control of her
finances and property.
Sounds like what the left is
trying to do to us. This of course is where the term “Gaslighting” comes from.
Here’s a scene from the film:
Now here’s some examples:
Here’s the President’s spokesperson Jen Psaki talking about the press (Psaki is scheduled to continue working for him in a new position at MSNBC soon):
Or here's a Yahoo News headline: “1st acquittal of a Jan. 6 Capitol riot defendant
is reshaping other cases”
He wasn’t a riot defendant.
Here’s a former Trump Spokesperson Stephanie Grisham who joined The View as the
token conservative for a brief period of time. Here she is in an exchange with
Joy Behar before she was fired.
She said what she saw.
Groucho Marx said it best when he was caught with a young lady in his room by
Margaret Dumont, his older wealthy fiancée:
We are asked that question every day. What else are you being deceived about?
How much of your opinion of Christianity is based on what movies, television and social media influencers have told you, and how much of it is based on your own personal investigation?
my favorite from saint David, 'let my enemies bones be dust beneath my feet.'.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great one. I always enjoy this guest.
ReplyDeleteThe technique he describes is a cousin of what was used in states that had lefties in charge to challenge voting protection laws. A co-conspirator group sued the state over the law, and the state "negotiated" the suit away, changing the situation on the ground (if not the actual law) by fiat to what the left wanted. Still listening.

The attorney who said "they are gratified" by extreme persecution is spot on. I've seen it in our local court, the government attorney in a frenzy, actually shouting to jail an enfeebled elderly rental housing provider who was in brain failure, and whose wife (who handled all their business matters), had missed an important notice due to provable temporary blindness. When the blindness was corrected she took care of the business promptly. So in court, over what amounted to a technicality, with a zealot out to "jail" the object of his own rage. That's why your style of opening prayer is perfect.

I've had people complain that that's not how Christians roll.
DeleteThat's why we are where we are.
I love your happy warrior attitude. We need more sounding like that. I find some of it creeping into my public prayers in our bible study. It's more like talking to God than making a speech.

Chico, not Groucho.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but he's dressed as Groucho.
DeleteEd,
ReplyDeleteJust as you picked up on Gretch the Wretch having sued the County prosecutors, I found and blogged on how it looks like the FBI-orchestrated "kidnapping" was nothing more than election interference. (You know, more partisan political output from the law enforcement institution that gave us Peter Strozk, Lisa Page, and other such luminaries.)
Kabuki politics.
DeleteMark, given the facts of the "kidnapping plot" case it's hard to see it any other way. The FBI plants were far more active than a passive observer. I used to feel good about the fact they could infiltrate troublemakers. Now, it looks more like a criminal enterprise, engineered for pre-election theater. I pity the poor fools entrapped in the 'plot' and used as pawns to create an anti-Trump narrative.

Particularly given the Jan 6th debacle/false flag.
