Is there a Republican Senator
Concerned with people more than war?
Who cares more about me
Than for a lobbyist's money?
Is there a Republican who cares
For anyone but millionaires?
God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Dreaming
Conservatives live a dream
(Or so it would seem) -
Tomorrow a nightmare
Too dreadful to bear.
Today a heartache
That keeps them awake.
Yesterday's the thing
That calms their sleeping.

Mary Had A Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
A gift from her father,
But when daddy lost his job,
He took the lamb to slaughter.

Royal Wedding
Royal Candles light
The chapel with purple flame.
Morning Glories rise
To enjoy the procession.
Bishop's Weed officiates.
In America, We Value Freedom
In America, we value Freedom
Unless it lessens corporate profit.
Then we find it burdensome
And demand just the opposite.
In America, we value Freedom
Unless the Other is in office.
Then we find it burdensome
& Freedom hangs from a precipice.
In America, we value Freedom
Unless yours interferes with mine.
Then we find it burdensome
And that's where we draw the line.

Seasons
With Spring comes flowers,
And Summer is lots of fun.
Winter's cleansing snow showers
Follow Fall's scents of cinnamon.
Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall:
Our homeless endure them all.

The Mask
Republicans lift their mask
To show their hypocrisy
By taking Obama to task.
Expecting him to toil
Instead of making BP
Clean up their own damn oil.

Hard Labor
To do the job right,
You can't hire just any man.
To really screw things up,
It takes a Republican.

Gold Mine
BP had a goldmine
At the bottom of the sea
Until they ruined the coastline
Foreseeable calamity!

Fishermen
Heavy rests the oil
On the Gulf of Mexico.
Dead fish everywhere -
What's a fisherman to do?
Their livelihood is gone.

GOP Ideas
I'm not saying the GOP rehashes
Old ideas, but the last new one
They had is suffering from hot flashes.

The Surprise of Being a Christian
Faith is belief in the unproven/unprovable - which disqualifies most Conservative Christians, since their religion is typically based on pseudo-scholarship ("assurances" and apologetics) rather than faith. To doubt is not a sin, but reverence for the "God of Truth" (Deu 32:4).
Faith requires action (James 2: 18, 20, 26) - a workless faith isn't faith at all. Worshiping despite one's doubt is Faith in action.

Three women were talking about the declining numbers in church attendance.
One said: 'The congregation at my church is down to around forty.'
The second said: 'You're lucky. Most Sundays we consider ourselves fortunate if there are more than twenty people in the congregation at our church.'
The third said: "That's nothing. It is so bad in our church that when the minister says "dearly beloved", I blush!'

A coroner had a celebrated disdain for the legal profession. In a recent criminal trial, he was called on to testify. He was questioned by the attorney for the defense.
"Doctor, is it not the case that you do not know my client personally?"
"That is so," said the coroner.
"Is it not true that you never even met him?"
"True," answered the doctor.
"In fact, isn't it the case that you don't even know whether my client is living or dead?" thundered the lawyer, gathering steam.
"Quite true," replied the doctor calmly. "For all I know his brain could be in ajar on my desk in the morgue, but the rest of him might well be out practicing law somewhere."

Night after night, a keen ornithologist stood in his backyard hooting like an owl. After weeks of getting no reply, he suddenly heard an owl hoot back at him. He was overjoyed at the response and for the next nine months man and bird kept up a regular dialogue of hooting. He was fascinated by his ability to relate to a wild creature and kept a thorough record of all their conversations.
Just when he was on the brink of taking his findings to the Natural History Society, his wife happened to be talking to a neighbor who lived four doors away.
'My husband spends his nights calling to owls,' she confided.
The neighbor said: "That's funny. So does mine!'

The telephone bell on a prominent economist's desk rang insistently. When he answered, a voice informed him,
"You're all wet about the cost of living reaching a new high! My wife and I live sumptuously— eating everything we like—on sixty-eight cents a week."
"Sixty-eight cents a week!" echoed the economist. "I can't believe it! Won't you tell me how? And to make sure I get the story straight, please speak louder."
"I can't speak louder," came the answer. "I'm a goldfish."
