What is praying about anyway, it's just begging!

Think about it. What is praying for? People pray to God for everything, to stay alive, to be rich, to eat, to survive, to win Football games, to win Wars. But what exactly is praying? What praying is, is begging!
It is begging God to get something that they think he or it can give them. So God wants you to beg him or it so that you are completely submissive to his or it's power only to force you to become a mental, physical, and Spiritual slave for life.
Begging for mercy, begging for life.
Why does God, this almighty, so called  loving power need you to beg for anything?
Why would God, who owns and controls the entire Universe need you to beg for anything?
Face it, religion is a complete fraud!
It always has been, and always will be a fraud.
It is the worst ponzi scheme ever invented.
The fact that in 2010 A.D. planet Earth has religion to help with it's destruction is sickening at best, and factual at it's worst.
The belief in the unbelievable is Humanity's downfall.
Everything in the Universe is made up of energy, not hard to believe. So there is more to your life than just you, not hard to believe. So that you can use this energy, since it is already there, whenever you learn or know how to use it, and since you do not live in a vacuum but are connected to all things than it would seem highly appropriate to know that the energy outside of yourself can be tapped into mentally, physically and Spiritually.
But this only works if you put action into your thoughts, and not just thoughts alone as in praying.
If you want to be good at something, change something, create something, praying alone does nothing at all, but by putting physical, mental, Spiritual effort into anything, you will get incremental results, desired or not.
So God, your fictional God, has no interest to hear you beg ever, because it does not exist!
The Universe is controlled through cause and effect.
Religion cannot offer or promise anything that any con man or con women can promise you because it is all an illusion!
Face it. Religion is a curable sickness of the mind!

Washington still doesn't get it! America isn't for Sale!

Our current President, Barrack Hussein Obama is a likable guy. Well educated, articulate, and compassionate. However he does not understand that to get what one wants in Washington, one must be willing to fight for convictions that are true to one's heart, and not by capitulations to the worst of the other side.  Of course he knows this, but he does not put actions into his deeds. The President has the Bully pulpit but does not know what to do with it. Giving more speeches to Republicans and hoping that somehow they will see his point has been an utter failure for this administration, yet the President continues down the path of no return.

In my lifetime I have only seen this road to destruction only increase to a point where it will be most futile to think that America will be anything other than a Kingdom with serfs, as slaves in the modern World, enabled by self serving greedy politicians who have used the Military and Police forces to rob the citizens of their own country.
Listening to our President begging republicans to agree with his point of view is very sad indeed, because they know all too well that they will vote against anything he is trying to accomplish. Their stated goal is to see this President fail miserably, and so far this game plan has worked very well.
How can America change for the better  and progress into the 21st Century when both the republicans and the President think that the best course of action, is no action?
Folks, this is war.
It is us against them!
Greed against the ethical!
People vs. Corporations!
When I voted for this President back in November of 2008, and  I thought that maybe, just for once, something really far reaching had occurred, but I was wrong.
Instead we get the "Change" advertising, but then  basically do the same as the last two Presidents.
This Peace prize President has now ratcheted up the war in Afghanistan, and pushing an even higher Military budget through, almost like G.W. Bush, "the incompetent"?
Where is the difference?
Where is the "Change"?
Where is the Hope?
Where is the real Leadership?
