Attention Christians ... VOTE TRUMP!

Attention Christians ... VOTE TRUMP!


Awhile back, I ran into a fellow believer who said he couldn't vote for Donald Trump because "he's not a man of God". In fact, he wasn't going to vote at all!

Of course I have no patience with an attitude like that and told him so. Anyone not getting involved in the political process is a drag on society and has NO right in complaining afterwards about the sad state of affairs that may come about after the wrong people take office and implement their plans to save us from ourselves.

That sad state of affairs WILL take place if too many people "sit it out" on election day and allow Hillary Clinton to become president.

There is NO excuse for not voting.

And certainly, Donald Trump is not that excuse.

Yes ...

He's rude. He's crude. He's not all that polished. He may have a past not in liking to the more genteel among us.

HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN and has little skill in soothing "itching ears".  (2nd Timothy 4:3)

What he is is a hard headed businessman with much experience. Not only in business but in his handling of politicians, unions and other "factions" over the years in order to conduct it. He knows how they think and act.

A good illustration can be seen from this contrasting scene from the comedy film, Back To School, starring Rodney Dangerfield.

He will conduct the business of the executive branch on sound business principals:

Don't spend more than what you have, make or take. Otherwise if your outgo is greater than your income, then your upkeep will be your downfall.

"Oh!" You say. "He's not a Christian! He's not a man of God!"

Not a man of God. Well ... If you've read your bible, you know God in some way has made use of the likes of womanizers, prostitutes, politicians, tax collectors and even dictators to further his kingdom on earth and protect believers. The likes of Sampson, Matthew, Nebuchanezor, King David, Rahab, Mary Magdalene come to mind. Their credentials as saints weren't exactly the greatest.

Many other Biblical figures had led less than perfect lives.

And the same goes for Donald Trump.

Even YOU are not exactly the "man of God" you'd like to be. So what makes you think it's beneath you to vote for Mr. Trump?

Even though Mr. Trump is certainly less than perfect (Just like you! Or me for that matter.), unlike his opponent, his political platform upholds many of the things you believe in (Examples are he's pro-life and pro-Christian liberties.).

Don't think of him as the "lesser of two evils". Rather he's the better of the two candidates.

That much is obvious in comparing the two platforms/agendas.

Over the years I have heard "big talk" coming from various folks in the right wing and Christian circles. Stuff like, "if they come for my guns, I'll shoot 'em!" or "my faith is strong, I'll withstand it."

Or even worse ... "I don't have to worry for I'll be taken up in the rapture."

Putting aside any debate over "the rapture", you don't know when Revelations' prophecies will start. People the world over are going through hell on earth right now for various reasons. Just try telling them they're not going through "tribulation".

History has shown all sorts of horrendous periods and places of trials and persecution over the centuries. More than likely a possible Clinton presidency would continue AND RADICALLY INTENSIFY the situation Mr. Obama and the left has already put us in and not be an ushering in of Tim LaHayes' apocalyptic fantasies.

Your vote for Donald Trump, for the moment, is something that you can do NOW to prevent what may be a socialist dark age and the radical curtailment of the practice of your Christian faith.

Forget the "big talk" and faith/rapture fantasies.

If you're a coward with your vote now ...

You'll be a coward with Jesus (And your guns.) later.

Jus' sayin' ...

So Trump's Not A "Conservative"? ... So What?

So Trump's Not A "Conservative"? ... So What?


I guess it all depends on what you mean by conservative.

If by conservative you mean someone like Paul Ryan who punks out when our muslim-in-chief says BOO! or Boehner being said mussies' bitch then I guess Trump's not a conservative.

If by conservative you mean it to be in agreement on EVERYTHING you think goes with the "cache' " then I guess Trump's not a conservative.

If by conservative you mean neo-conservative (Liberal-Lite masquerading as conservatism.) then I guess Trump's not a conservative.

If by conservative you mean being one of those "little old ladies of both sexes who want their tomorrows to be like their yesterdays only more so" then I guess Trump's not a conservative.

Rob Knowles has an article on the Constitution dot com blog titled: Trump Has 'Evolved' on These Four Major Issues Since Cruz Dropped Out.

Here are the "Four Major Issues":

"Trump changed his position on raising the minimum wage"

I myself am against the minimum wage on principle. In practice ... Well ... having been on the receiving end of a few asshole employers in my time, I just ... KNOW ... that if the minimum wage was abolished, a LOT of the above would really try to stick it to their workers in one form or another.

Face it. If the bastards had their way, we'd all be housed in tents, put to work at age 3, a bowl of steam for lunch and fed to the rest at age 35.

And don't give me that krap about quitting and working somewhere else. That really "goes" in a recession, doesn't it? If I knew I'd be working somewhere else the next day, I would. Usually circumstances are that you're stuck for the time being. Yeah, I'm looking but don't try "cheering" me up with doctrinaire "libertarian" bullkrap.

"Trump walked back his tax plan"

He was talking about his plan not being ironclad in the face of negotiating with Congress. There will always be give and take in any dealing and not everything will come out exactly as stated originally. What were you thinking people? That Trump is a magic genie who'll SHAZZAM "heaven on earth" into being? Grow up!

"Trump will no longer be self funding"

and

"Trump hired a former Goldman Sachs man to help him funraise"

I'm surprised Mr. Trump has gotten as far as he has on self funding his campaign. Yeah, he's a billionaire but even that has limits. Doesn't bother me in the least he's now looking for outside help. And yes, he's still going to spend some of his own money on his campaign. Not many politicians do that.

Some idiots have told me Mr. Trump has no business being in politics because he's a businessman. To which I reply "Politicians have no business being in business because they're politicians."

When I saw the "headline" about "Four Major Issues" I thought it was about gun control, homeland security, border security, etc. Instead it's about comparatively nothing.

For those "purists" who won't vote for Mr. Trump:

I'm not going to say "A vote for a third party candidate is a vote for Clinton." You've heard that before and in your smug, "principled", pure little hearts you KNOW you're right as right can be for ever and ever amen.

No I won't say that ... rather:

You bitches deserve the bitch ...

I'm Voting NO! On Ohios' Issue 3 ... On Solid Libertarian Grounds

This piece is off the top 'o my head so if it comes across as a bit disjointed please take that into consideration.


I'm Voting NO! On Ohios' Issue 3 ... On Solid Libertarian Grounds


One would think that if one is libertarian (Note the SMALL "L"!) one would be all for voting yes on Ohios' Issue 3, Marijuana Reform. I for one will not ... And here's why.

The Delaware Gazette, in its' 10-15-15 issue published an article (With an insert of the official proposed amendment literature from the Ohio Secretary of State office.) on the pros and cons:

Pro:

1. Personal choice - Allowing one 21 or older to possess up to 9 ounces of weed.

So what? It still sets limits on how much one can posses.

2. Compassionate care - Authorizes non-profit dispensaries for medical marijuana.

Who pays for those "non-profit dispensaries"?

3. Tax Revenue - Is expected to generate more than 550 million in revenue.

I guess that's what's gonna pay for the above dispensaries ... maybe. What if it doesn't? What if it's not enough?  And even what if it does? Is all that money going to be for the above or wasted on other government programs?

4. Regulated Industry - An independent commission will oversee the growth and sale of weed.

REGULATE! REGULATE! REGULATE!

TAX! TAX! TAX!

GOVERNMENT!

GOVERNMENT!

GOVERNMENT!

Independent commission? If it's government, it's NOT independent!

By the way, the official Proposed Constitutional Amendment literature uses the words "tightly regulated industry" in regard to this commissions' duties.

Con:

1. Creates Monopoly - Ten facilities will have EXCLUSIVE rights to grow weed. Interestingly enough, the official Ohio secretary of state summary document DOES use the word, monopoly!

ONLY ten "facilities". Isn't that nice. Sounds like a GOVERNMENT monopoly alright.

2. Tax rate - A preferential tax rate is set into the Ohio Constitution that can't be changed by legislation like rates on beer, wine and tobacco.

Ah taxes again. I really don't care about the above except that it allows GOVERNMENT (!) to tax it, period.

3. Risk to children - Outlets will be allowed to sell weed-laced products like candy and cookies.

I seriously doubt such products will be allowed by law to be sold to kids. Same limits as in smokes, alky and drugs.

Of course, as we all know, it's best everyone be banned from owning anything (Drugs, weed, guns, books, vid games, internet, media, porn, candy, cookies, fun, anything hot or sharp, etc.). It's for the children after all. If banning everything will save the fictional life of a hypothetical child not related to you then a police state is entirely justified.

Yes, SOME children actually do suffer and die from the actions of evil people. I run the same risk while alive just like everyone else. Howsomever, my and everyone elses' constitutional and God given rights trump statist dreams. Sad to say ... Shit happens.

Callous you say? Nowhere near as callous as some media whore (Or someone trying to score talking points.) exploiting survivors and dancing on the bodies in the name of ratings and market share ...

4. Quantity - See #1 in the above Pro section.

5. Stores - Allows for 1159 retail outlets.

Will there really be THAT many? Who cares? Oh yes! GOVERNMENT does.

6. Will flood Ohio with marijuana.

I gotz news fer ya' pal. OHIO IS ALREADY FLOODED WITH MARIJOHOONIE! It's Ohios' biggest cash crop fer cryin' out loud!

Look ... I'm all for DECRIMINALIZING weed. I'm all for repealing those stupid laws short circuiting natural selection and putting people in jail who shouldn't be there in the first place. I'm all for letting folks commit suicide with their method of choice.

But ... legalize it?

No.

From looking at Mr. Husteds' (Ohio Secretary of State) document, Issue 3 is nothing more than an attempt at a government power grab. Instead of people being left the hell alone, Issue 3 opens the floodgates to more government expansion, more and higher taxes, more curtailment of freedom and a general tightening of the governmental choke hold on everything we already have.

VOTE NO ON ISSUE THREE!

And please don't talk to me about marijuana reform being about "freedom". You're not a libertarian ... You're just a pothead!

It's the late '90s and I'm stuck working in a place where my "fellow" employees are NOT the brightest Western Civilization has to offer. I'm talking with one fool about voting.

"VOTING!?" She exclaimed. "NO WAY! I DON'T VOTE!"

"Why?"

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

"How do you know they're ALL crooks?"

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

"It's not just candidates and politicians on the ballot. You also can vote on issues, levys, and on taxation. Don't you want to at least have a say in that?"

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

"Is that the only reason for not voting?"

"DON'T WANNA' GET ON JURY DUTY!"

"It's not just voter registration lists. Juries are also selected from licensed driver lists. You can still end up on a jury."

Short pause.

"THEY'RE ALL CROOKS!"

I suppressed the urge to kick my heavy booted foot in the dolphin tattoo on her ankle.

People who don't vote: THEY'RE ALL CROCKS!

Just sayin' ...

On Voting

I guess we know now what that "else" is. Thanks a lot non-voters!

On Voting

As an actual combat veteran, Dad's never given much to "war stories". Doesn't care to talk about it. It was hinted at by others he'd gone through some really hairy stuff. If he does mention anything it's once in a blue moon & on something comparitively "mundane". Which is where this story/article comes in.

Dad also doesn't care much for those who don't vote. Here's why:

Sixty years back in November '52, on a hill in Korea, he cast his first vote.

He was a young second leutenant, a forward observer for artillery. For those who don't know, a forward spotter isn't miles back with the big guns. Not only is he on the front line with the grunts, but at times in FRONT of the front line. Where the only other people around may be sporting a different uniform/language &, if you're found, may act toward you in a rather hostile manner.

Needless to say, Dad has no business walking around breathing today. By the grace of God, he made it out alive.

It was on that day in November, the mess staff was supposed to bring the ballots up with the food. Only the food arrived. In order for each man to vote, they would, one at a time (They couldn't all just leave their positions at once.), make a three mile round trip in the rain to cast their ballot at the company CP (Something most wussies ... er ... uh ... Americans would balk at.). Dad liked Ike by the way.

To those pious hyprocrites who stayed home & prayed instead of voting:

If you "left it to the Lord" as I've heard some say, then He sure has one heck of a sense of humor. Jesus doesn't vote. YOU are supposed to.

If your phoney rapture non-doctrine does pan out I hope you're either LEFT BEHIND© (Serve ya right! God hates a coward.) or you actually do get taken & are not in the way of our struggle against the beast. We don't need you. While Jesus may not hate you, I certainly do.

To those "conservatives" who stayed home:

Just what the hell were you thinking? That it was an easy Romney win & your vote wasn't needed? Thanks to you, we still have "the annointed one" & John "Mr. Tough Guy" Boehner screaming compromise along with the other RINOs. Thanks for nothing, intrepid ones.

As for those who never vote:

I've usually found these to be either lowbrows or non-entities. I've long realized they're not worth talking to (The last one I tried reasoning with had me seriously contemplating kicking my heavy booted foot into the little dolphin tatoo on her ankle.). These none-suches would probably vote the wrong way anyhow. Maybe it's good some don't vote anyway.

Just sayin'.
