Name Calling





Calling Hu Jintao a ‘dictator’, ‘cutthroat’, murderer and worse is like calling Obama a ‘socialist’. It’s meant to inspire fear in some, awe in others; and serve as a clever phrase to disseminate at cocktail parties.

It’s all true! So, what are we going to do about it? Jaw-jaw: “No he isn’t.” “Yes, he is!” This kind of thing can go on forever - at least until the party winds down and it’s time to go home.

Hu Jintao is not “fearful of the facts”. Why should he be? He works within a political system which manufactures facts to suit. We do the same. Only we still pay attention to facts as they appear, which some call lies and others don’t. That makes us divided as to the facts. …and you know all what they say about ‘divided houses‘.

It all boils down to who holds the reigns. The one in power determines the facts. That’s how it is and how it has been. History books have always been written by the ones who have earned that right by victory. From God’s point of view, written history is always only half right.

The truly troubling aspect of all this is what is now referred to as the “re-write of history”. It means that we can no longer trust anything we see.
