Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good

Reply to Disqus claim

I believe in Jesus Christ and his "Good News".  Remember Jesus threw the money lenders out of the temple they were disgracing.  They were Jewish Rabbis who used the temple to loan money.  I reject, the Old Testament God of the Jews.  A God of war and retribution.  I do accept those parts of the OT that support the "Good News" and I accept the Jewish history which is replete with idol worship every-time God looked away.  He even had the Jews wander in the desert for 40 years ... but they are a "stiff necked" people.  Truth is Jews rejected God before he rejected them.  At the moment I'm reading Corinthians II and enjoying Paul's preaching he suffered under Jewish and Roman law.  was beaten with sticks and whipped a bunch of times.  I understand he's on his way to Jerusalem where he will meet his maker.  As a matter of Fact Jews did everything in their power to stop the spread of Christianity.
Because there is so large a difference between the Old Jewish God and the "Good News" of Jesus Christ,  I have decided that God himself must have been  reborn and resurrected at the same time as Jesus Christ.  It is the only logical explanation, after all, Jesus said I'm the Father, son, and holy ghost.  He said I am the way.  Jesus was part of the temple and was a rabbi like Saul.  He never said follow the jewish god he said follow me.

Reply to complaint on pay schedules, bonuses etc

I didn't make the rules or pay/bonus schedule.  I do know that when the draft was ended, American Men and women were in a state of shock after watching 58,000 American Grunts die for nothing.
The Dept of defense had to increase pay and decrease the requirements to be a Grunt.
Now we have an all Mercenary Military.  What is different is the establishment of Green Zones across the Globe.  This enables the Officer corps to avoid direct contact with the enemy while they eat Kobe' beef and drink the best bourbon.
Only fools put their lives on the front line ... not Officers!
It's called turning RED into Green ... Grunts get the Red, Officers and their fat wives and kids get the GREEN.
Any terrorist actions taking place in the EU or USA is directly caused by the Destruction and rubbleization of whole countries by the USA high command.  We brag about getting in our enemies shorts, like the raid on Bin Laden

.Two Americas.  One selfish, self-centered, narcisstic, like our President.  the other believes in sharing, in community, and struggling together to achieve a goal like winning WWII.. The non-sharers believe they are the natural born leaders of sharers.  But why follow?
