I keep hearing these stories about the free world fighting the religious zealots in the middle east to protect everyone's right to free speech and freedom of religion. Yet I heard part of a speech by the infamous ever popular Sarah Palin, which I'll paraphrase, "We'll keep our God, our guns and our Constitution!"
Now correct me if I'm wrong (it wouldn't be the first time) but isn't she restating what the Ayatollah has said? Other than the constitution, which she obviously hasn't read , she is professing the same ideas. Pushing a single religion and it's beliefs on our country is wrong. And subtly telling people that they should arm themselves and rise up to take over? Sounds like she's the new American Terrorist. I wonder what would happen if one of us made statements like hers?
Then we have Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. Really? Our big corporations DON"T need regulating? Have these gentlemen ever read any history books? Let's take a look to the past guys. Do they believe that BP that the American peoples best interests in mind? Corporate America is paying off these senators and representatives to get less regulation and more tax breaks. The oil business' are getting close to $4 billion dollars in tax breaks and making record profits(and record pollution.) Meanwhile our gas prices are going up for some unknown reason. Yeah, let's give "Boss Tweed" less regulations and more power.
They all want to drill more, frack more and level more mountains. They are the real terrorists we need to deal with.
There's a lot of name calling and finger pointing going on and it's only going to get worse as the year wears on...ooooh...and don't get me started on that Newt fella...
Dave... ban religion and lets just realise we are all just apes with too much imagination..
ReplyDeleteWe all made it up...
Imagination can be a scary thing...just look at the TV ads the politicians run.
DeleteOH,why to put up that horrible face, why why why.
ReplyDeleteSorry Bob. It won't happen again....mwahaha!
DeleteYou're preaching to the converted. The emphasis on things is totally backwards. More emphasis on regulations and (higher)taxes for companies. More freedom of religion Don't mandate religion on us.
ReplyDeleteIf we pay our (more than) fair share of taxes, why shouldn't the wealthy and the corporations? They use the same basic services we do. We'll see what happens in November.
DeleteI'll keep my God, my guns, and my Constitution..Thank you ! Is Obama the answer...NO! Is Ric, Mitt, or the others the answer...NO! The answer has to be in and from us! Once we make up our mind on any subject, we can no longer see it objectively. We can not turn every issue into black and white (which unfortunately we all try to do, myself included). The only issue that can be judged that way is Good and Evil.
ReplyDeleteToo many politicians are trying to separate the citizens of this great country by dividing them by religious beliefs. That has no place in government.
DeleteAnd they does have to be give and take in every aspect of life...money and greed make people immovable.
