You go like you reach 60 you know take you longer to do you do you do you first. Jesus raises the question just like he said.
What do you say about you know everybody a lot of those projects want to do what you like your body. You don't get to control Jesus because name without saying something and then he got to the real question says I'm up. That's nice. Who do you use. And those were like Oh yes. And then in the twenty third chapter of math Jesus didn't take a chance on what I say in the blueprint you she's on.
You wish she didn't give me any criticism you see. So when you talk a lot more you know good and we'll know where would we have have seen you Homer and they're usually not that you need Jesus is he in his mind. Oh I didn't do it on to the leadership. Folks you pay just because your life is a critical issue I got a letter from the Federal Trade Commission and you have the power button that says I'm almost a million people
in the last two three years have had their identities stolen in my house in January and I know you when I retired from 0 0 after that I got from one or English MBA I never had a shell. In my life so I threw away the next one is another that and the actual money isn't there. Oh make them almost no show. OK so this is an open account and. You know all my credit and you know it's got you all over the counter
and Neiman Marcus. I study. You're all. I want to know like in the fall you know. But it took me a year to get it straight. So be careful which associates you're careful with credit I did. I wish I could say you got that right there is stop right. There is sure. Oh I did to tell you we are pushing buttons. Now forces in this country. Seeking to redefine nation. You know you and not big need
to redefine the nation. Define used. Define sure and and I'll call you so you can deal with you. You got it you got your Got future law. You and so I want to I want to just take a few moments to say that the issue of unity is paramount in health and politics in science and math. And I want you to know where you come from. I tell young folks all the time you are a blind eye where you come from. Because if you don't know where you come from you all know when somebody's taking
you. Yellow. But if you are familiar with the vile stuff you know try and should. Somebody trying to take you back. You've been there. I wish you could. Only Be Black History Month at the close of the service. I summons you where you come from and who you are and if you don't know who you are you may be tempted to believe that you all know you he misses you or. You don't you find yourself somebody who would do it for you. OK so it is you who take me
to her. And if you don't somebody who don't like you can come along right one minute. That visit will know who you are. They're really good. Do you mean to me. Controversy around the issue of identity in a Pennsylvania courtroom. Your daily struggle about evolution and Intelligent Design is really about who we are as a carer Szabo floor 10 commandments in the court or even the stem cell controversy stirs up so clearly as a matter of Social Security Good God do you do any good for me.
Let me first let me begin with what our national identity now has a show where I know who we are as a nation the other day three U.S. senators I mean McCain and somebody who introduced legislation to stop the military from torturing prisoners. And one from Alabama it was my home. And somebody else. For four years just knew or should jump to see that we don't have to be bound by the Geneva Convention. They are not prisoners of war. They are tears of sympathy she was chair. We don't define them as because well we can go he told
some of them again or you know just in response he says. Son. Says that this legislation is not about who they are married this love is this is of my. And I and that that there are these forces who are reshaping redefining a nation. And we've got our party we got funding funding for losses in this war you know we sing we're going through the quality of life in Iraq. Make your life better if I have to keep you know. Somersault. On that count. That's. Also not reality.
We have given mothers in Baghdad a reason to question who are the real killers. Mother in law the search for the body parts of the children who were killed was a black family for want to die in the revolution which is. I know Christmas I want to see. The British you know your probability card. Christmas Alex and Paul Revere. Terrorists are at least insurgents. Hello. Who are we as a nation. My country. I'm trying to find out who you meet.
We are here. There is no linkage to 9/11 no al-Qaida in Baghdad no no weapons of mass destruction no at least not in Iraq. There are weapons of mass destruction in D.C.. And New York. I'm not sure that brings us destruction. Forty eight million people in this country with no health insurance. That's a weapon. Of mass destruction. Millions of people compelled to live on minimum wage. That's a weapon of mass destruction. Little movement we all like no minimum nothing. Well the minimum prove you know.
Of the minimum call. Home I had my wife give me a minimum kiss kiss me. We'll know when I'll come back she said. Can you handle. Sorry you should. Really go that we can get by a Mack truck. Using tax cuts for the wealthy. Who don't meet and cut you from room full of assault weapon of mass destruction. Even even the Washington Post yesterday talked about No Child Left Behind when they
proposed to give additional tax benefits to children and families you heard as much as $300000 uses a. Weapon struck like before I'm all for reminding them you were talking about weapons of self-destruction. Just look at even so but look Michael Moore should know. We all know what your job. But in spite of the spin we put on the state of our economy poverty is only increased. Ironically just after Katrina a national report was issued on poverty we have no heart for you don't you can probably hear the civilized nation. Poverty in 2005 2004. Millions of workers are earning less in real dollars than we did 20 years ago.
Without high tech eyes we could see creators Omagh. But we can't she knew or. We can repair. Speedy ships and they're suspended in space and we can't fix the levees. Only miss. You our. Bodies are riveted. Have they had America's a duty we can do in looting industries that we tolerate looting in the suite. Come on dude we. Can all read we're not off. The movie. Are you going to follow it. A lot of the church. To join the pool.
So poverty is a we did you see some moral issues don't don't don't try to show it out of the church is a joke and say that's politics. I DOn't KNOW WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT we talking about when we talk about politics. Politics is public policy. Public policy impact your life. From the time you get up to the time you line up the time you but I suppose are your mother's womb until you feel you know somebody has to come to us. You can't separate faith love. Probably. God identified with the poor throughout history. You just got in trouble with the problem not because of the common road on a pair of minutes on the ritual of nepotism he didn't get in
trouble with the powerful because he was going to sprinkle poor don't got in trouble because he wished for justice in the marketplace. Members of the community are free to do your call or two with just against the the the widening disparity is a poor are getting poorer and the richer get richer. Something wrong with the system where a handful of people have had more than a little bit lead in masses of people have less than they always knew who was. It was logical in your Washington Post for reflection a growing disparity between the haves and have was in DC which is we have is over this can be spared years away see the richest families income are 12 times higher.
Than the poor's Hello. You come with a top grew 81 percent in the past 20 years to an average of a hundred fifty seven dollars while at the bottom there we grew 3 percent. A lot of players 20 years up to 12 percent per year who are a matter of fact there was a study a shoe recently the trial to determine what. What should the average CEO are compared to what the average worker and they had her years almost. And they came up with maybe five to seven times this is said to be somewhere close to justice. You see you say seven times. Am I know what it is in this country. You might think you want to show you
know. I might I might. Somewhere between three and five. And watching that there's no debate no new study. No no I have three. Who are we we become so so so so Steven just yet. I just indignation. We were growing up. We have resumed work for simply attempting to hijack our faith to justify the exportation and even less likely full of joy. We do good spouse and spirituality shacking up with a prostitute.
She says she's still surprised. It produces offspring with Con general B-flat. Like militarism and drug addiction. Going to addiction sexism and racism and insidious insensitivity and invidious individualism. Now we. We must not let them steal God's identity. Susie is that Jesus child is the empire his mission to bring sight to the blind made a new consciousness to free people from looked up to Christ's identity to feed the hungry resources that is not charity it would love to set the prisoner free. You know where it is that the poor all for the concept of the Lord all to do oppress and dominate. Hallelujah.
Not choose Christ speech today. Hopefully not only through the word through his disciples Who do you say that I am you you your straw resourceful routes with opportunity. Or do you say. Let me to you. I like it very cool. Lo not sure she gets a new translation whacker she chairs. She's no you know my lessons here less charity is selective lowered his own Kish.

Lou good job training so we can get a job with her to live in the ways of my own good good chere low quality of which are no good to me. Stephen got something to do you're trying to do to me God the God of the rich. We must try to defend or not surrender the soul of America to those who would hijack our faith and make God the God of the rich. The God of prosperity you know we were I don't remember long term. Who you are she should you know be you know Baptists and Methodists. Just those where the rule was brutal and
only see. She hears a priest you know oh she taught one priest raise very good night but don't let praise be a supplement not a substitute for student she's for live the priest. Right. Hello.

I'm home and here you fell in the midst of them blesses our spirit to talk about justice. I think he will say let it down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. You can't shop for Meat Loaf from justice and faith based initiative and not rooted in love. You sound right. So Lowery says the New Testament and you know they're just your models on.
Which all of them do. I gave me here much longer Lord bless. Absolutely. MARTIN You say you were you know maybe 40 I socialism you want me to you you know you know you know versus that's not true I was eating for I don't know how much longer. I know you I know you didn't leave me here cause I've been so good. I mean all that. But he did leave me it was I guess why it must be because he was meeting people preaching the word. To let justice roll down my law. You you can't leave justice I will crush my cock in your me silent when those who look like us join forces with right wing fundamentalists and greedy demagogues politically they are joining hands with the traditional white supremacy.
