I've have now been blacklisted by Google Blog Search for saying much the same thing you have in your blog post: "Welcome to 1984- 25 years late Posted on Thursday September 17th, 2009 at 13:50" http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&num=100&client=news&um=1&scoring=d&c2coff=1&lr=lang_en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&q=blogurl%3Arealliberalchristianchurch.org&btnG=Search+Blogs I didn't put that URL there to promote my site. If others want to assign crass motives to me, that's their problem. I'm promoting freedom of beneficial speech here. I'm battling the plutocrats. I used to have thousands of posts listed on Google Blog Search. My traffic was constantly growing. Then, just because I wrote some things they don't want others to see and read, censored! As of the date of this review, I have only three posts being returned by Google Blog Search. Big Brother is inside Google. I hope BlogCatalog can keep it out of here. I recently told a "friend" (networked) that if one isn't being censored on the Internet, one isn't trying hard enough to find and speak truth. I don't agree with all that you believe, but you seem willing to engage in the discussion without being pornographic (I'm not for harmful images, etc.) and without irrationally refusing to consider the points of others. That's why I friended you on BlogCatalog and favorited your blog. Peace, love, and truth (synonyms), Tom

[Note: BlogCatalog forces a rating. I think doing that is wrong.] I am posting this here on Abraham Calvin's "Blog Detail" page and have posted it on the RLCC's "Blog Detail" page: Abraham Calvin, You posted a review of the RLCC site http://www.blogcatalog.com/blogs/real-liberal-christian-church-christian-commons.html#comment_648946 Your review as follows couldn't be more off: "Quick question - throughout history, when governments grow in size and scope, do they become more or less Godly? Compare the leftist regimes of Stalin and Hitler to the U.S. "What's wrong with private giving? Why must all help for the poor come from inefficient government bureaucracies funded by compulsory taxation? Voting for higher taxes for your neighbor is not the same as giving. Why do we want to replace the church's role in caring for the poor with big, oppressive government? High taxes results in slow economic growth, which hurts everyone, including the poor." Since you posed a question(s), I feel at liberty to reciprocate on your "Blog Detail" page. Unlike you, I will refrain from giving you a one-star rating. [I'll be as neutral as BlogCatalog allows for the time being.] Although at this point, I take your rating as a badge of honor. People know me by those who hate me and rate me at the bottom without cause and based upon false witnessing. I am opposed to taxes. I am opposed to regimes such as was Stalin's and Hitler's. I don't define all the terms you've used the same way you do, but you have totally missed the thrust of the RLCC and Christian Commons Project. I believe you have either jumped to sweeping, incorrect conclusions based upon the most cursory (if that) overview of the RLCC site or you've done a hit job. I hope it is the former. Regardless, you need to dig much deeper on the RLCC site before coming to conclusions that fit any other ideology in the world. If you read the site correctly, you will come to the proper conclusion that right now, it is singularly unique and not "leftist" or "rightist." In addition, economic growth needs to be good. Growth is not inherently good. Only good growth is, well, good. I am very glad that you are not in charge. Nevertheless, bless those who persecute you, Tom

This site contains a link to the WorldLingo translation service for those who don't read Portuguese. Check it out. I can't check the entire site, so the rating is therefore qualified. I trust you understand.

My concern here is with the ethical treatment of animals. Many zoos don't put that first. Many are more interested in commercial aspects (profits, even though most are so-called non-profits; salaries, etc.). I would prefer wild animals to be allowed to be in the wild, molested as little as possible (only truly thoughtful, humane treatment); however, there are so many other humans who do nothing but hunt animals and ruin habitats no matter the consequences, long-or short-term. This site appears to show care about animal welfare in zoos and out.

As I wrote in a shout to Ellie Yan,"The environment is our sacred obligation." We need blogs such as Ellie's to inform us all of many of the things individually and collectively we can do to improve the quality of life on all levels and for every soul. Thank you Ellie for caring so.

Scott is an exemplar of the repenting heart. The whole world needs to do exactly what Scott is doing. We need universal repentance. We need to forgive, apologize, and atone together as one soul -- for righteousness' sake. Read some of Scott's posts. You'll see what I mean. It's there.

Right when I needed it, the following words were put before me on this blog: He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (John 14:21)

This blog's author, SOLOMONSYDELLE, is a powerful voice for the Nigerian people and all people by extension. She is a prime example of why racism is utterly ridiculous. She's a Nigerian and obviously a decent human being and also obviously highly intelligent. She's not out to hurt people but rather to stop injustice and to lift up her people (who are my people too if I'm worthy). More power to her. Support her voice -- her blog. May God bless the Nigerians with peace. May foreign exploiters stop raping the Nigerian people and stop devouring their land. May they stop bribing Nigerians and stop helping to lead them astray.

This is an important blog, because it highlights the struggle of the common people of Brazil. Their struggle is the common struggle around the world. It is the call for those who are hyper acquisitive to gain heart of the kind Jesus has demonstrated. I don't say that I endorse every word on the site. I haven't read them all. I am unable to read Portuguese, unfortunately. Therefore, I was able only to read a bit of the site by using some online translation services. What I read, I liked very much, as far as secular and mundane things go. Blessing to all, Tom Usher
