Hillary, Emails, and the Status Quo

    If you live in a hole or rely upon "traditional" media for your news (newspapers, cable news, etc.), you may not have heard that Wikileaks has released a few emails that are detrimental to Hillary Clinton's campaign.  Your classic liberal networks have done their best to ignore the heck out of these revelations, but less biased networks and the good ol' Internet have made sure the American public have heard about them.  Inundation feels like an appropriate word here.  Wikileaks has dumped thousands of emails over the past couple of weeks.  Some have been Hillary's own emails, while many are of her staff communicating amongst themselves.  Americans have become privy to the type of information that government officials have long assumed would stay hidden.

    Is this really that much of a revelation though?  Did you really not know that Hillary has more skeletons in her closet than a mob boss?  Did you really need these emails to tell you that she is an elitist snob who has a sharp disdain for the American people?  Did you not know that money talks in Washington?  I did.  I guess I'm a cynic.  I have no delusions about the goodwill and sincerity of politicians.  To be sure, there are some who are honest folks (I'm looking at you, Ron Paul!).  Others are doing their best to juggle special interests and their consciences (you're probably in this group, Ted Cruz).  The rest, which is probably a majority (at least at the Federal level), are snakes who are professional election winners.  Their own agenda and financial well-being determine the decisions they make.  Hillary Clinton is no different.  In fact, she is the epitome of this group.  She has spent the last 40 years ensuring that her political career is advanced and her pockets are lined.

    So, needless to say, I have yet to be surprised by a single thing I've read.  In fact, I probably assume she is worse than she really is (if that's possible!).  She is a liar, to be sure.  Even her supporters have to find a way to justify her testimony before the Supreme Court and her flip-flopping on every issue over the past three decades.  I, for one, am 100% confident that Hillary Clinton has received money for political favors.  That's not even a question at this point.  I'm also extremely confident that Hillary Clinton has had people killed.  There's just too many coincidences, conveniences, and witnesses for all the tales to be political smears.  The recent unearthing of these emails has only provided documentation for what many already knew about one of the most crooked families in the history of our nation.

    The question with which are are left is, "When will it be enough?"  The Clintons have gotten away with a whole lot for a whole lot of years.  When will people hold them accountable?  When will the media stop protecting them?  When will the American public wake up and realize that they're crooks. Here's why I'm a cynic.  I don't think they ever will.  I think Hillary will win the election.  She'll spend four years continuing her policy of advancing her career and bank account by any means necessary.  She'll continue to destroy the foundations of our country and increase animosity towards Christianity.  Our only relief will be that she won't even run for re-election because of her health.  Meanwhile, Bill will be using his time in the White House to accrue cash and STDs.

    You look back at some of the iconic political families and you see a pattern.  The Kennedys and Clintons of the world don't play by the same rules.  The biased media, couple with an ignorant populace, let them do anything they want to do because they are royalty.  Is the age of transparency finally here?  Will the Clintons finally pay for their years of abusing their positions?  Will America wake up and realize that the system is broken?  If history is any indicator, the answer is no.  Perhaps technology and political expectations are forging a new era.  Maybe the time is right for change.  We can always hope, but I'm not holding my breath.

"Father, Forgive Them"

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Forgiveness is hard.  Forgiveness is really, really hard. It’s difficult to forgive others who have genuinely harmed or offended us.   It’s easy to say , “I forgive you,” but it’s extremely difficult to feel it–to make peace in our hearts with the injustices that others have perpetrated against us. It just doesn’t feel right.  Sin should be punished!  Wrongs should be righted!  Right?! It’s difficult to forgive others when they ask for it.  It’s even more difficult to forgive them when they haven’t asked for it–when they don’t even recognize what they’ve done to hurt us. As our Savior hung upon His Cross, He asked the Father to forgive those nearby–those who were unwittingly contributing to the greatest injustice in the history of the world. These thieves, soldiers, and standers-by had no idea what was happening.  They had no idea that the jealousy of the Jews had placed Christ on that Cross...

The Real Presence & Paedocommunion: A Deeper Rift Between Reformed Churches

You're going back to Rome! Theological disagreements within the Reformed world, especially those of the last half century, often devolve into these sorts of accusations.  As controversialists like Doug Wilson and Peter Leithart began to break away from the larger conservative Presbyterian and Reformed denominations, it became clear that the rift was deeper than semantics and systematic minutiae.  Much like the Reformation four centuries before, the Table was a primary point of conflict.   What does it mean?  Who may partake?  What do we call it?    These questions, along with a few more, divided Reformed brethren as the physical elements of our religion reflected deeper conflicts.  Good men began to understand that the problem wasn't just in our logos, but in our pathos and ethos, as well. Paedocommunion (hereafter PC) has been one of the hottest points of contention.  PC has always been normal to me as I grew up with it.  I underst...

"The More Things Change..." or "Joe Biden Doing Joe Biden Things"

1 Samuel 2  relates the story of Eli, the well-meaning high priest whose only flaw (apparently) was his refusal to discipline his sons.  These sons, described as worthless men , utilized their position to abuse the people and indulge their lusts with impunity.  Eli's dereliction of duty brought his otherwise noble career in service to God's house to an ignominious end.   There are, of course, important differences between Eli and Joe Biden.  Joe Biden is not a religious leader (though he is a practicing Roman Catholic ), nor would I consider his record to be otherwise spotless.  However, similarly to Eli,  Biden's pardoning of his own  worthless son, Hunter, will prove to be his legacy.  His long (and I mean loooong) career in politics will likely be overshadowed, even in the eyes of those who previously respected him, by this one shameless act.  By pardoning his son despite  promising not to, Biden has yet again demonstrate...
