Easter’s message is a simple one. It is about love and redemption. I didn’t see much love of fellow men in Searchlight last week. I heard a lot of hate, though. Do the folks who have claimed the Tea Party as their express ride to better government really believe they are more patriotic than the thousands of people who show up every day to work for the government — local, state and national — on their behalf?
There are people everywhere who don’t carry their own weight. Those aside, does anyone really believe the people who have been attracted to public service — as opposed to the rest of us who just don’t have the desire, the time or the inclination to work for the benefit of others — are less American than the folks who braved the winds and Porta Potties in Searchlight?
I don’t see the protesters and naysayers taking oaths of office, government salaries and citizen ridicule to work on behalf of their fellow citizens. All I hear are anger-laden complaints.
Easter brings with it a message of love, redemption and hope. I am not asking people to believe me when I say that most elected officials and government workers are good and decent people who work hard and try to do what is right.
On this Easter, ask yourselves, “What would Jesus do? How would Jesus act? Who would Jesus blame?”

I don’t get it and I never will
If you have a commie background, you could be Dr. Phil
Just because you get all wee wee’d up on the internet
Does not mean you have to hate and have to fret.
No matter what is true, I am more enlightened than you
And that is why I can ask you “What would Jesus do?”
This is a joke, right?
If not, I seem to remember Christ throwing the money changers out of the temple. Money changer/politican not much difference if you ask me.
I’ll render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser’s, but I’ll use my vote too.
“Woe unto thee who call evil good and good evil.”
Is “partyer” correct? I’m not the grammar police or anything, but that doesn’t seem right.
Reichstag Fire on the Installment Plan -bump!
The Alinsky advocates of artifice like to play checkers. Chubby Checkers that is, twistin', spinin' and shoutin' (invectives).
Why should the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus/street revolutionary rabble and their ideological issue (arguably now the Establishment) have all the fun lying about the Tea Party, et al.? Tain't fair. Let's twist and shout!
Why do the Democratic Party leaders and stalwarts hate our Constitution and the United States of America? To wit, Pelosi, Reid, all the leaders and stalwarts, even in the MSM, say the Constitution (and thus our Republic) is s***. How so?
Democrat Congressman Phil Hare said "I don't worry about the Constitution." Party leaders and stalwarts were there. The MSM were there. They rallied, they cheered, they smiled, they schemed. They have disgraced our Republic. A simple apology is not enough.
Headline?
Democratic Party: America, fix it or forget it
Democratic Party Vilifies Constitution, the U.S.
Witness said overheard Democrat: It sucks. "I don't worry about the Constitution."
It is no more about hate and love then it was for the Founders of the nation who found life under the British yoke intolerable. “Hate” is an attempt at misdirection.
This racist obfuscation is a smokescreen to deflect the way that this massive unconstitutional redistribution of wealth was brought in, not on C-Span in a bi-partisan manner, but in the dark of night, with outrageous bribes, threats and intimidation. All supported by a lapdog press that the President himself jokes that is in bed with him. They all realize they cannot debate the facts because there are a multitude of very ugly ones. Their solution - quickly shout racism at their opponents.
The only bi-partisan vote, was the vote against it.
It’s all your fault ping LOL
I think massive, Martin Luther King-type civil disobedience that absolutely shuts down government, that surrounds these people's homes with sit-down strikers like the hippies, all this is going to ultimately be necessary.
Beyond delusional, he is a moron..WWJD? He ought to meet Jesus before he tries to quotes him.
For Mr. Greenspun:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight! (NAS, Isaiah 5:20-21)
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. “Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! (NIV, Matthew 18:6-7)
It’s getting to the point where I think in order to be a democrat you have to have a low IQ. These folks are really, really stupid.
Brian....stop dropping acid.
In America, we're supposed to be Caesar. Caesar is the three hundred million members of the Board of Directors. That's what makes us different.
We oppose those who would change that, those who would make this (yet another) statist kingdom as it were, through a constant and incremental transfer of power to government.
As Reagan said- where government expands, liberty contracts. Maybe the author can grace us with an explanation of how supporting power being taken away from us and given to government is somehow 'patriotic'.
Brian, with this lot in Congress and on Wall Street, probably just as he did at the Temple at the sight of the Money Changers; it wasn’t a pretty picture.
A few days before his crufixion he went thru the temple, the seat of the Jewish government of his time, pitching out the thieves who were running it.
He also had some remarkably harsh things to say about the scribes and Pharisees, who ran the Jewish government.
