Supreme Court Decision on Campaign Finance

Well, The Supreme Court did it, they made a decision that irritated President Obama because he sees allowing Corporations to give to political issues and candidates as bad for America. But perhaps their decision is just a case of what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. By limiting corporations from giving, President Obama says that this limits special interest money from tainting politics and politicians. That is pretty funny because he allows and rejoices in the influence of organized labors and unions in the political process and uses their thugs to his personal advantage. This decision just levels the playing field and allows both unions and corporations to participate more evenly. It does not allow the election process to be bought. By allowing these donations it will partly counterbalance other union efforts.Let me just ask this simple question...if corporations giving into the political process taints things and opens the doors for corruption then how does using organized labor, their dollars, their organization and their message differ? Organized labor and unions, as they exist today, are not just a bunch of individuals speaking out with freedom of speech. Labor Unions are organizations and are just the opposite side of the same coin of corporations. Labor is about big money. If one is to purify politics from outside influence then one would have to eliminate the political influence of unions/labor, PACs, the AARP, the NRA, organizations, other lobbyists, and things like Newspaper endorsements. All of these groups seek influence and the ability to pressure politicians into certain favorable decisions as well as to get particular candidates elected.
Now that the Supreme Court has made this "historic decision" there are those calling on Congress to change the law to limit corporations again. But perhaps most importantly maybe this decision will move the congress to clarify and place proper limits in a number of places...but that would just be wishful thinking as if congress would do something right that would step away from the politics of power and influence to a "we the people" place. If these politicians are really after a political process free from corruption then they should include legislation that limits the power and ability of other groups as well to influence the process, but they should also place mandatory term limits upon politicians because it has become increasingly clear that the longer a politician is in office the more their concerns are around getting re-elected and retaining their "precious power". But I suspect that they are not really interested in taking the the influence or corruption out of politics.
The reach and influence of a growing labor movement are not really in America's best interest. When you look at the sweetheart deals being given to labor in place after place you can see that they have a political agenda that is different from that of their constituents...they have become a corporation interested in their own best interests and power. There was a time when labor unions were helpful in our nation...now they just stand in the way of firing incompetent people and they enrich the labor boss as CEO. Perhaps it is time for light to shine into the darkness and the Supreme Court decision makes for a good conversation starter. Obama's bed has gotten rather crowded with special interests and "community organization groups" like ACORN and he has allowed so much influence and promised so much that his judgment is clouded (if it was ever clear).
So what should believers do? Read, become informed, know the players and the influencers and determine not to lie down with serpents. The Bible tells us to beware of being unequally yoked. Hold your politicians accountable for who they are, who they associate with, as well as how they vote. Beware of politicians with little or no background of success. Ask questions. Seek God. Read the Bible. Know the issues and what is at stake. Pray. Humble yourself and Seek God. Turn from any wicked way. And ask God to heal the land.
