![]() This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. 1 John 3:10 (NIV)
If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. 1 John 2:4 (NLT)
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 John 4:20 (NIV)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mehmet Oz, and two Trump administration colleagues recently published an op-ed in The New York Times justifying the GOP’s attempt to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits by imposing draconian prove-you’re-working paperwork and hoop-jumping requirements on recipients. |
The loophole in the STOCK Act, the pre-funding requirement for USPS, the disgraceful Student Loan Sellout, the defeat of the Veteran’s Jobs bill, their disgraceful abandonment of Republican governors before & during the GOP/TeaParty/US shutdown, and the campaign to weaken our military, our judiciary, and law enforcement agencies through sequestration all belong to the legacy of the GOP leadership in Congress.
Throughout the shutdown, the arrogance of the House GOP leadership was not lost on angry voters as House members eagerly portrayed themselves as irresponsible and intractable individuals of incorrigible disbelief; and hence worthless to hard-working, law-abiding voters & their families.
This element wormed it’s way into power by making promises it collectively has no intentions of fulfilling, in the way of job creation. They are clearly set on making our great nation a defenseless host for corporate parasites.
In this election year, turn your focus toward the dirty, rotten tricks of the GOP leadership. Uncover the monstrous lies; the poisonous, hideous deceptions and the intellectual dishonesty.
