Charity and Politics

Charity and Politics - Bill O'Reilly - Townhall Conservative Columnists - Page 1

Charity and politics are individual affairs and really, not even politicians should be 'looked' over the shoulders to see how 'good' or bad they are in their charitable donations.
Charity and politics are an individual affair and what that means is that it is NOT the business of governments or public opinion to check or redistribute or confiscate, or whatever needs it to be called, in the name of charity or politics, because both are duties of the people as individuals.
Political careers are nothing but a huge sign of corruption and charitable taxation an even greater demonstration of the same.

The only specific role of government is to administer common good, not acquire it or sell it, and certainly not to assign it, just administer it and to protect life and freedom, not to give us life or freedom, but to protect us from the ones trying to remove them from us.
When politicians need to build a career in politics or when charity, must be 'channeled' through what politicians decide is versus what is not, charity, then the system is even more corrupted and it has stopped serving its purpose.
Behind all of this is that nefast mandate called the IRS and the income tax illusion. It has been built as a mechanism expressing very good intentions, like the ones paving the road to hell, but it is only serving to produce misery, not just int he pockets of every individual and family but most specially in the souls of the people, whom, in the intimate relation we all have with our creator, need to love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves after, loving God over and above anything and everyone.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
