I inquire about their country and discuss politics with them in a friendly way. There’s a constant stream of exchange students through the shop from every country in the world, including many from the US.įor many years I’ve driven my associates and employees mad with my habit of engaging in a certain amount of agitprop with likely looking young people from the counter in my shop, where I spend a lot of time. As well, I’m repelled by the dog-whistle racism coming out of the Clinton camp.Īnother factor in my thinking is my experience with US exchange students in my bookshop, which is located in a partly student area close to Sydney University, and opens from 9am to midnight seven days a week. I base this preference on the coverage of the campaign in the bourgeois media, and particularly the dignified way in which Obama refused to unload the preacher at his church because of the preacher’s views. Here in Australia we have a tidy preferential system that allows one to vote in sequence for the candidates you want without wasting your vote, and we also have compulsory voting, which is good from a working class point of view.ĭespite my reservations about the Democrats, I hope Obama wins the primaries and I hope he wins the election. If I lived in the US, like Louis Proyect I’d be reluctant to vote for the Democrats, but luckily I don’t have to make that decision. I reject Bustelo’s long-term dismissal of the working class and the labour movement in the US, and even more in Australia, but nevertheless the Obama campaign seems to be very important. I don’t often agree with Joaquin Bustelo, but on the basis of my own experience I think there’s quite a lot of truth in what he says about the Obama campaign.

People still need to take into account that the Old testament is part of the bible. If the people were true and good so would the government be. Not that the government should be ruled with that as a primary force. Show me in the New Testament where it says we are to establish an Earthly Kingdom of God using the scripture as our Law and I'll be more than happy to say I am wrong.Īctually IIRC that quote was with the intent that the PEOPLE needed to be with god. If the Founding Fathers were so dead set on making us a "Christian Nation" why didn't they just adopt the New Testament as our Constitution and establish an official church? Guess they are starting to be proven right. they even said that a nation without god is a doomed nation. As long as he has heard the Word, Believed, Repented, and was Baptized, then it's God's decision about whether he's walking the proper path.įunny, that's not what our founding fathers thought. Obama publicly professes to be a Christian. You can't pick and choose what parts you like and don't.

The Old Testament tells the nation of Israel how to conduct itself until the coming of the Messiah.
Are there any churches out there that actually teach such a thing? The New Testament tells us how to build a church, spread the Gospel, and wait for Jesus' return. I can't seem to find the part of the New Testament where it instructs us to form an earthly kingdom and use the Bible as it's Law. If we, as a nation, strictly adopt the New Testament as a model for our governance, we will not exist as a great military and international business power for long.
