If foreclosed property is not returned on the Jubilee Year which is once every 50 years the bible regards this as theft committed by the banks which is a crime.

I'm going off of United States law, not biblical law.

That's funny. The religious right declares that abortion is murder because it violates biblical law even though it is perfectly legal under United States law. Yet when the religious right is asked to enforce the biblical Jubilee laws concerning home foreclosure they call it Fidel Castro land reform and say that we must obey only the laws of the United States.

I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in this country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped.

I hereby declare that my job creation potential is now ceased.



No, this it is a big misunderstanding by the "Tea Party Nation" versus the "United States of America". Vice President Qualye made the same type of mistake over his response to show his support with the officials' threat of a "Hockey Strike", until Marilyn told him Salhapatica would make his Rice Crispies easier to hear.

As far as their self-declaration that, they for themselves, versus their businesses, they declare that their job creation potential has now ceased, didn't a pimp already make that claim in "Catch-22"? Much the same scenario when all standards are held as to best worship Mammon.

:roll:

Last I checked, Fraud is an actual crime, so I really don't get where you're coming from.


Many religious people that are regaining some level of consciousness about principles are
reading stuff like this:
"Ayn Rand: Goddess of the Great Recession:
Why Christians should be wary of the late pop philosopher and her disciples."

Actually, biblical law supports my position on US Law concerning fraud, which is essentially stealing.

Though shall not steal.

Furthermore, if you study Roe v. Wade, even the justices that ruled on the case admitted it would have to be revisited and potentially reversed if the child in the womb was considered to be a person at a later date.

It's not only the destruction of jobs that the Religious Right Tea Party calls for but the Religious Right Tea Party also instructs the banking industry to foreclose on homes because they insist that liar loan applications violate the ten commandments.
If someone lied on their loan application to get a loan they should have their home foreclosed on and be in jail.


Before y'all go on any further, perhaps you should do a little research to better understand the basics. A "liar loan" is simply a low-documentation or no-documentation loan, meaning you can just enter your income on an application and that's it. They were popular with people with variable incomes (commission, tips, etc.). Obviously, it's extremely risky to make a loan on these terms and yes, at least some applicants lied. But others did not and in either case the banks were bending over backwards to get applicants to sign. Remember, these loans were simply packaged up and sold as CDO's which were all insured anyway. It was a no lose for the banks.

But to sum up and clarify, liar loan is a term not to be taken literally. One can be honest and still have a liar loan.

It is funny how the most "conservative" "xtians" have no idea what the jubilee is.

They fervently believe the universe to be 6,000 years old, but don't believe or are against quite a lot of the Bible.

Hebrew year 5772 began at sunset on 28 September 2011 and will end on 16 September 2012, so the universe is 5772 years old.

Ussher deduced that the first day of creation began at nightfall preceding Sunday, October 23, 4004 BC, in the proleptic Julian calendar, near the autumnal equinox. So the universe is 6015 years old this Sunday, October 23, 2011 AD.

I was born in 1957. So the actual age of the universe is only 54 years, so there! :P

:lol:

The Southern Baptist Religious Right does not like to talk about the Jubilee laws because it calls for the slaves to be freed on the Jubilee year so enforcing the Jubilee laws makes you one of them Liberal Abolitionists.

Back on topic......

As a counterpoint, I suggest the unemployed pool their resources and form a bunch of hippie communes. "The Rich" only "win" because people WANT to buy the crap they put out. When we stop WANTING it, things will change.

Honestly, the dude who invented the "Snuggie" (blanket with sleeves) is not an "innovator," nor is he particularly bright, but he did make millions selling the unwashed masses a blanket with sleeves. His advertising gurus convinced people they WANTED to buy it and we, stupid as we are, bought it.

There's only so much sympathy I can dredge up for class warfare when people are digging their own graves.

Even though so called hippie communes are like monastaries or kibbutzes the Religious Right are opposed to this concept because it is Communism. The early church held all property in common but the Religious Right will never accept this idea.

It'd be funny if all of the self-styled "Randian super-humans" who make all "the wealth" decided to go along with this stupid plan and found that sit-down strikes reappeared across the nation. It's about time that the country club conservatives who've been waging class warfare for the past thirty years realize that the post-war relative social equality was in everybody's best interest.
