Yes, they can all be patriots. First, they must act like patriots. Everyone is not a patriot, and the real patriots know who the patriots are. But, Liberals can be patriots, as long as they put their nation, their communities first above party. Most elected Republicans do that; that is why they are so hard to control.

Now, here is the big exception. If one has served in the military in a war/ combat zone, they can hate America, and short of any act of real discernible, destructive treason, they will always be a patriot, at least to me.

Those that have served in war/ combat zone situations and love America; they are what I would term the super patriot. I pray that they will be among our future leaders; fine examples of such are General John Kelly and General Jim Mattis.

I probably should have included the pay off of the sermon but I was striving for brevity. Jesus had faith that his father would provide for all his needs and therefore we should not put our trust for salvation in man or money but in God. He was perhaps not advocating putting thieves as the treasurer but demonstrating that his faith transcended both man and money.

As a layman I probably should stay away from preaching, but our resident Pastor has left the stage.

I kept contemporaneous notes of our pastor's sermons. When he left Candler Park (2003), I subscribed to his written sermon blogs. Here is a bit more about John Ballenger

I guess there is some allegorical value to allocating money duties to dishonest men, but for the life of me, I can't fathom it. It probably is just the way it has always been.

While it may sound blasphemous I remember a sermon from my favorite pastor at Candler Park Baptist. Here is the short version:

The reason Jesus had a money bag man was so he knew who to watch. He put a thief (Judas) in charge of the money because he was putting his money where his mouth was. But in knowingly giving dishonest Judas the moneybag, Jesus specifically modeled for us where not to put our trust.

I am sure this was not an original sermon by the pastor but like many others it struck me as right on point about putting too much trust in others regardless of their profession or declarations and assertions.

Always follow the money with politicians. A minimum of 60% of all politicians /bureaucrats can always be tempted if the money is right, and they believe they can get away with it.

The core Democrats believed that L. Hillary would be elected, and she is known to be corrupt enough to easily allow the Obama corruption to continue.

My tendency (some call it an obsession) is to always follow the money and look at the details. A quick unverified check would indicate that McCabe's punishment would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 over the rest of his life. In keeping with the going market for tell all books (Look for Comey's new book) I doubt that Andrew McCabe will be hurting from a finical standpoint. I am sure someone will be willing to pay him a healthy book advance to cove his short fall in pension income. He might even be able to self finance his wife's next run for office.

"On Sunday, McCabe will be 50 years old (qualifying him for an FBI pension) and will have served 21 years with the FBI.
So, his annual pension is $56,000.
1st 20 years
1.7% x 20 = 34%
34% x $160,000 = $54, 400
21st year
1% x $160,000 = $1,600
All 21 years
$54,400 + $1,600 = $56,000
With an average life expectancy of, say, 85 … McCabe’s aggregate expected pension will be almost $2 million."
