Bewilderment Among Professional Pork Spenders Association

They are professionals. They were training in the fine and brilliant institutions of the United States. Now they've made it to the top. They did their time; won their way through one bitter campaign fight after another. They are the federal decisions makers now.

They know best how to spend our money. They can spend it better than we can. They responsibly examine the needs of our nation and the world. Then they put the money right where it's needed ... so they think or claim. The American people see them more like the Professional Pork Spenders Association, not U.S. Statesmen, and they wonder in bewilderment why they have such a low approval rating.

Senator John Cornyn, R-Texas, has hit it right on the head. Dick Morris' book, Outrage, also captures this issue and many others. It's the pork! It's earmarking (among other things)!

Friends, where is the outrage? Why do we tolerate this non-sense? It's been going on for years, and it continues to be a major problem. A problem to the tune of $18.3 billion this year.

Please read Senator Cornyn's article, sign the 100,000 strong petition, and be a loud voice! Be heard! Make some noise! Help the Professional Pork Spenders Association understand why they have such a low approval rating.

Not to miss an opportunity here ... how is it that "educated" men can do these things in clear conscience? C.S. Lewis put it this way,
"Education without values ... seems to make man a more clever devil."
Without a Biblical education; With religion and morality, self-control, democracy is a dangerous form of government.
