di Gesu’

     I just received my first piece of hate mail and the author of the letter had my last name in bold and highlighted as above.  Why?  My best guess is that my last name means ‘of Jesus’ in Sicilian and they were trying to send the message that my recent letters to the editor were racist, unchristian, and that I had failed the expectations of my last name. 

     I don’t view their discouragement, hate, and opinions as bad.  Hello, this is America! I do see them as a badge of honor.  I have been a Christian since my early teens and my common core is Christianity and its life changing, life giving message.  My last name is a badge of honor and I am glad it is there for all to see.

     Jesus did not take much guff from the religious and political peers of His day.  The Pharisees, Sadducees, and immoral Roman leadership of His time were no match for His wisdom and insight into humanity.  He spoke truth as He saw it and was not always gentle, meek, and mild.  He did not candy coat His message of God’s plan for man.  He spoke out against the dangerous practices of the culture of His day.

     Now, believe me, I am no Jesus!  I may not be the most diplomatic and eloquent writer, but, as my America is demoralized and fundamentally changed before my eyes, as it moves from a Christian culture to a relative immoral progressive secular culture, I will not be quiet and I will not back down!

     It is time for all Christians (Hello Church!) to unite and not only hold the ultimate red line that Jesus gave His life for but to push back and reclaim the family, life, and culture that has been trampled on by folks that do not care about the end but only the means, their pursuit of self.  Our calling is not to be meek and mild bystanders in life.  Our calling is to stand up for Jesus and our mission is to share His message, the whole message, with all of humanity.  As we answer the call,  He does not entitle us, He empowers us!

We Remember 9/11............................................................@teapartypassion

We Remember 9/11

     Millions of Americans take to the streets and rally for different causes; 
Martin Luther King Day, Raza Day, Homosexual Day, Macey’s Day Parade,
and a purported Million Muslim March in D.C. this  9/11 that changed its name
to Million American March after some well deserved sour press.

     Lest we forget 9/11/2001, America witnessed an unprecedented attack on its
soil killing thousands of Americans.   Lest we forget 9/11/2011, America witnessed
an attack on a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi Libya where four brave Americans
were murdered. 

 

      Patriot’s Day, born out of 9/11, is Wednesday.  Americans will hopefully be
rallying for the cause of America instead of just their own slice of the American pie.   
As a tribute to America and her patriots, here is a poem song from my 9/12 Project:

I SEE OLD GLORY ON A HILL, AMERICA’S RED, WHITE AND BLUE, REMINDING ME OF
THE SACRIFICE THAT WAS MADE FOR ME AND YOU;  MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE
THEIR LIVES SO WE MIGHT BE FREE.  I SEE OLD GLORY ON A HILL AS I REMEMBER THANKFULLY.

     CHORUS:

   OLD GLORY, AMERICA’S RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.
   OLD GLORY, OUR SYMBOL OF WHAT IS TRUE.
   WHEN I SEE THOSE COLORS, PRIDE RUNS THROUGH
   MY VEINS; FOR ALL THE LOSS WE HAVE ENDURED
   MAKES  WORTH WHILE ALL THE GAINS.

I SEE OLD GLORY IN A CHURCH, AMERICA’S RED, WHITE, AND BLUE….REMINDING ME
OF THE FREEDOM TO WORSHIP AS WE DO; FOLKS WHO LEFT THEIR HOMELAND IN
ORDER TO BE FREE.   I SEE OLD GLORY IN A CHURCH AS I REMEMBER PRAYERFULLY.

    I SEE OLD GLORY IN A SCHOOL, AMERICA’S RED,  WHITE, AND BLUE….I’M
    REMINDED OF OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE DEPENDING ON WHAT WE DO.  

    FOLKS WILL SOON REALIZE GOD AND COUNTRY CAN’T BE TORN …WE
    MUST CARE FOR OUR CHILDREN AS WELL AS THE UNBORN.  

I SEE OLD GLORY IN NEW YORK ON A TWISTED METAL HEAP, DEVASTATION FROM
HATRED THAT RUNS WIDE AND DEEP.  WE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES, THIS IS WHAT
WE MUST DO……..BECAUSE WE ARE AMERICA’S RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.  

     We must never forget the sacrifice of our American Patriots!

Reflect on America! Why are you here in this specific place at this specific time? Divine Providence? A calling to restore what was fundamentally transformed? Our blessing was bought with a price! Stand your ground!

 

Welfare Gone Wild ! @teapartypassion ................................................... google 'song 17 trillion by Mario diGesu'

Welfare Gone Wild!

     Did you ever watch ‘Women Gone Wild’?  No?  Good, apart from unashamed excess and compromised values, this has nothing to do with it!  And this is not about a war on women either; my mom is a woman!  And she would put me in my place if I declared war!  This is about the unashamed excess and willful abuse of social welfare programs like food stamps that have gone wild under President Obama.  This is about overflowing food baskets, coconuts, steaks, lobster and sushi at the taxpayer expense.

     Food stamps, now the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), should be re-named and re-regulated as ENAP; Essential Nutrition Assistance Program.   Instead, SNAP went from 25 billion dollars under President Bush to 47 billion under Obama.  On July 12, 2012,  four months before the election,  with the ‘snap’ of his finger, Obama issued an executive order gutting the welfare reforms accomplished by Clinton and the Republican Congress.   Perhaps one can buy more than coconuts with food stamps!

   Social welfare program expansion, like SNAP, is the liberal progressive march towards socialism; a hop, skip, and jump away from communism where government expansion means power!  So what is so bad about communism?  Obama was raised and mentored by communist and he is a cool guy.  He even became the president of the greatest nation on earth!  My point; government expansion means power! And the people liked Obama so much they reelected him!  My point; government expansion means power!  And he really cares about the suffering and hungry children!  No, he cares about acquiring power by government expansion!

     Instead of welfare and government gone wild, I would like to see freedom go wild!  Freedom to innovate, freedom to create, freedom to not be over-regulated to the Nth degree, and freedom to not be burdened with a job killing healthcare mandate and high taxes that are creating uncertainty for employers!    Government needs to get out of the pantries and off the backs of the American job creators and let everyone be prosperous once again!  Prosperity, self-reliance, work ethics, faith, and freedom will ultimately put food back on the table, not the government!
