Souper Bowl Sunday

We already are seeing that hope and change actually mean fear and socialism in the new liberal Democrat administration of President Barack Obama. My question: When will our Magic Negro eliminate hunger in the U.S.? Of course, there exists virtually no hunger in the U.S. but for 20 years a Souper Bowl of Caring has been foisted upon the Christian public to address the issue of hunger in sync with the biggest spending feast in this country other than Thanksgiving - Super Bowl Sunday. Having not a whit of interest in the over-hyped, steroid-driven, hero-worshiping game of football - sorry Rush Limbaugh - I still am passionate about the misdirection, misrepresentation and misuse of facts which plays to the ignorance and compassionate nature of the basic American regarding the fiction of hunger in America.

1. How many people here live in households considered to be food insecure? Not 35 million according to a ‘loaded survey’ but 0. ‘Considered’ and ‘insecure’ are the operative words that here mislead. My 2 neighbors never cook; they drive somewhere for each and every meal. Do they know beforehand what they will order on a menu, take home or call up? Insecure, yes, hungry no! Ditto for my relatives and the majority of Americans. This lie comes from the Food Research and Action Center: Food Security in the U. S. 2005
2. What percent of cities are not able to provide adequate food to those in need? Not 45%, but 100% if we assume that individuals aware of freebie food donated by fools take advantage of it. Those who have been given an ‘inch’ of kindness, run with it for miles. (Incidentally, when are food pantries a business of cities?) This lie comes from the U.S. Conference of Mayors: 2006 Hunger and Homelessness Survey.

3. The U.S. has the highest wage inequality of any industrialized nation? Of course, this ‘fact’ from Bread.org lies about people unable to make enough money to maintain a basic standard of living - food, rent, medical bills clothes and car. Without enough time to refute each entity in the standard, let me summarize. Inequality? Hell yes. If it were not for our birthright of freedom to become whatever we choose, Americans would not have the highest standard of living and the greatest potential for advancement anywhere in the world.

4. How much money does it cost for a 30-second ad during the 2007 Super Bowl? 2.6 million. I hope that it costs more this year rather than less to prove CNNMoney.com and all political and moral entities wrong when they push an agenda of income disparity, not reality.

Ignorance is the most expensive commodity in America today. Obesity is a self-inflicted systemic disease that puts a lie to the delusions and madness of liberals, liberation theologists and do-goobers regarding hunger. Caring has nothing to do with Souper Bowl Sunday. Serving Christ has nothing to do with an agenda that diss-serves one’s fellow human beings by maintaining a fiction that refuses to present a realistic interpretation of the status quo. Go Cardinals, Go Steelers, I don’t care who wins. But we all lose if we pay any attention to the games played with our pocketbooks. "Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game, help us to be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup to eat." Yes, wherever you are in the world ( other than in America unless you are temporarily drugged, distracted. or demented), my prayer for a better chance at life goes out to you.
