Being A Good Steward

By Chosen One

In my personal view, the Republican party is a very conservative party (read very old-fashioned) that seems to think they can bogart the Lord. They like to paint Democrats as being, among other things, godless baby-killers. Everything Republicans do is "for the good of the country", to hear them tell it. Yeah, I have a problem with that...

Typically rich, old, and white-haired white people, Republicans many times are heads of very powerful companies that typically make their obscene amounts of money off of the suffering of the (much) less fortunate; when crises arise in this country, a steady flow of references to the Almighty flows from their lips. These folks usually bribe Republican candidates by saying they will vote for him/her if they play their game. Repubs and their fanbase usually say Democrats aren't as committed to God and the average people as they are. This is where we encounter my aforementioned beef with this logic.

In church yesterday (gasp! A Democrat goes to church!), I listened to my uncle talk about being a good steward for Jesus Christ. This means serving others and by proxy, you're serving the Lord in the process and He makes His case for you with God on your behalf; does this sound like your typical Republican to you? Looking out for the little guy and being that oh, so good steward? I don't really seeing rich, powerful folks as being stewards for Jesus Christ that help out the less fortunate, but I do see them as becoming more greedy by the day. One more thing, remember the greatest theory of all time for stimulating our economy, the "Trickle Down"; remember how well that worked out?

Just one more thing for the folks still voting Republican, are you going to use your tax cuts to be good stewards for other people?

Hell, no. "Trickle Down", "supply-side", call it what you will, it still amounts to good old fashioned Feudalism. The Lord and Master has all the cards, hands them out grudgingly, if at all. Changing the name doesnt change the game.

As for The Rich and God, I always think of this phrase: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to get into heaven".
That'd make me feel better, if I believed that the traditional wystem was how things actually worked.

Five Actresses Who Should Be Considered For A Wonder Woman Movie

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
