perspective

Our friend Matt sent me an e-mail this morning with pictures of old war posters. They're WWII era but their spirit is appropriate today.

Political correctness is running amok and our sense of patriotism has been displaced by the need for material gain and staying ahead of the pack. Some of us have made a hobby of being offended by anything we don't agree with. The busyness of our lives has replaced the business of loving our neighbor. Here are the ones that really spoke to me. If you want to see the rest, shoot me an e-mail or leave it in the comments and I'll forward the whole thing.






In closing, I'll leave you with this link and one comment: Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

I read that article yesterday, too. I'm glad it's not just me who has noticed that while everyone else is supposed to feel some sacrifice and share the wealth, it doesn't appear to apply to our new leader.

Also, he seems to think that inheriting a budget deficit is license to extend it. I won't even go into reminding him that he was a huge proponent of creating the deficit to inherit -- in fact he heartily encouraged it.
