Beware the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.

Yes beware the wolf, a warning given by God to those who profess a belief in God. Just who are these wolves God is speaking about? Well they are all about us. Of course they always come as the angel of light and Hope and yes sadly even love. They stand at the very pulpits we go to church at and they stand before all and profess many things, love of nation, beliefs and what is good for us. They sit at our tables and they shake our hands, they promise, swear oaths before God, hug us an tell us what we want to hear while many times doing the opposite. Yes and many times they are perceived as all as the finest, purest and the best. This is sadly mans plight. Yet, we are warned and we have an intellect to understand and make choices, yet do those choices only impact us, rarely. So the saying let the buyer beware is very appropriate here.

Now as an average American I have written to the plight of average and the poor on this site and others and to those who I call the have. Those who have money, wealth, power or position. Yet, it is not that they have that which is negative. No, it never was, although some may try to define it as such. No it is the facts of what I see in sign and symbol and by actual experience as an overwhelming demonstration of their works and their fruits and how it impacts others. The deeds are the product of what they have done, or failed to do and by their own hand and no one else’s. It has nothing at all to do with what is professed.

As example, our government has a new organization to help people in Foreclosure called Project Hope, that is if you can qualify for Hope. It was supposed to be a good intentioned thing and for those it actually helps one can presume it is. Yet, how many do get help? You see hope has to pass a credit check and have a good FICA score. Yes, one politician stated we have to help responsible people. I just wonder who are responsible, by what definition, his? Check out who said it you may be suprised. He certainly didn't define it.

Another example, fact, not fiction as reported by ABC, why won’t lenders help people in Foreclosure? After all they gave them the loan that they supposedly weren’t qualified to have in the first place? The government said go to your lender and they will help. Floridians tried that with a leading insurer and got a request for a 42% increase. Strange, well not so fast if you really know "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey made famous.
 
Like Credit Cards big Global corporate investors and giants own that debt and they are not interested in family or people, it is and always will be about the bottom line, profits. Also, when you lose they don’t. Why, well first of all and as ABC stated, they are making money off of your hardship. It is the perfect situation for them. The more problems the more money.

Well some say this is ridiculous why would they want someone to default. Well as ABC reported, not this writer, then they can get even more. Yes, that’s right, interest, late charges, fees and finally they might get your property and money or anything worth value. They get to write the loss off, get a tax break and if they have it insured lose nothing.

So while you are all out cheering Obama, Hillary, McCain and listening to these new leaders for change, who in my opinion and in reality are the very same bunch repackaged, think about it hard. This is not about nice, this is about what they will deliver and not what they say. Yes, the very same who gave and give you these problems and the ones who rarely if ever speak to 31% interest and in my opinion and by deed brought these Foreclosures upon us, farmed out our manufacturing and jobs to India and China and still support such and replaced them with the new low wage jobs and At Will Employment and the illegal worker fiasco. Yes, done by deed or failure to do. Sure they stand there and smile and tell you all you want to hear and many go wild. Yes, tell me more, let me hear it again. Wow, I can’t wait, unbelievable.

Evidently some think it is making history because Obama is Black, or Hillary is a woman and it is exciting, it is time. America has changed, yea, right. No, only the Democrats who voted and that isn’t America by a long shot. Just tonight they are talking about this election as if all of America has embraced these Democrats. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. So as Imentioned in my prior article America is fragmented and even the parties, why, well the facts speak for themselves.
 
Where is the meat and potatoes? Ok, I know not interested. Well lets talk anyway and I will ask again. So, they will bring back jobs, sure, what type my friend, yes what type and how much will they pay and will they stay? Oh we’re getting health care, yea right. Let me ask, have you really ever seen anything that favors the poor or average? Maybe you ought to ask the people in New Orleans that? Where were these same, yes same "leaders" then? If they were the great leader they profess why didn’t they get what was needed done and passed then and now? Oh, it is somehow different? We have to wait becuase they will forge a new alliance? They already have that alliance and it has nothing to do with party and everything to do with ideology and "that’s a fact Jack" as the movie goes.
 
So I wonder how many really listen to what they say? They say a lot even when they don't, huh?  Now hearing and comprehending are two different things. Something they used to teach in school. If in person or on TV their body language has a lot to say as well, gesture, tone, inflection, movements. I’ll say that again because I think it needs to be asked again. Do you really listen, hear and comprehend?

Yes, beware not of what they say, but what they don’t.
Example, when a candidate says that they will address and issue and then find a solution "within the rule of law" just what does that mean? Can you say they will not re-write the existing law? Does it say they will enforce the current law? No, my friends it is what is not said that you should beware of. They said exactly what they intend they will do, but is it what you expect from them?  Did you read the fine print on the contract, well no, then shame on you.

Yes, in truth they all have all changed their positions and they all profess they always opposed everyone else. Could they change their positions again? So, let’s see just what you average and all Americans opposed? Do you oppose Comprehensive Immigration, how about them? How about 31% interest and higher on credit cards, did you oppose that, how about them? Let me see how about the bankruptcy bill giving creditors even more power, did you support that, how about them? Yes and how about SPP and trade deals with India and China do you support that and did they fight hard against those? Were they the leader they say they are and you want and they claim to be?

As for me their works have spoken, I am working toward replacing them all. Change, yea, right. As for America it will be more of the same if we elect this bunch back into office and you will get exactly what they said change, but is it the one you wanted? yes and the press in my opinion will push their favorites and you will jump with glee. Time will tell but the die has been cast.
