On Elections, Obama, Romney and Olympic Madness
August 8, 2012 10 Comments
Yesterday was primary election day here in Michigan. Not surprisingly former Congressman Pete Hoekestra won the GOP race for Senate. In far more important elections, yours truly won my race for GOP precinct delegate. With 137 votes, I came in second place which in a pick two race is a victory. I know where two of the votes came from, why the other 135 voted for me is anyone’s guess considering I did no campaigning. I must have a trustworthy sounding name. I now get to attend the GOP County Convention, with all the cafeteria privileges that entails.
In other political news, Drudge reported earlier this week that Romney is considering naming David Petraeus as his running mate. It has received mixed reaction, including from Petraeus ho denies interest. This is the second time Drudge has made a big splash with a VP rumor. We know he is friends with Romney’s campaign manager. One wonders if the Romney team is floating unusual names on Drudge to see what Republican reaction to them will be. As for Petraeus we just don’t know anything about this guy. He’s a great military leader but where does he stand on domestic issues? Is he pro-life? What is his view on taxes, welfare, homosexual marriage? We don’t know, which isn’t any good if Romney wants to make a big splash.
Obama declared he isn’t the President of black America. It’s funny, if any Republican said that he’d be called a racist. It’s true that Obama is President of the whole country but last I checked black America was part of the country. Who does Obama imagine is President of black America? He actually provides us an answer to this in a round about way. As usual he shifts blame for anything bad in the economy to others. Blacks have a 14.4% unemployment rate for which Obama blames state and local governments and Congress. Because of course it could never be the policies of President Obama that are responsible for such a high unemployment rate for all Americans and blacks in particular.
Have you been watching the Olympics? Apparently a good number of the parents of American athletes are broke due to the almost unbelievable cost of turning their kids into Olympians. Gym costs for the little gymnastics starlets costs upwards of $1,000. Plus travel, plus expensive outfits and plus entry fees for events. Want to be an Olympic fencer? It apparently costs $20,000 a year. What to be an Olympian in ping pong? It will set you back $15,000 a year. People can do what they want with their money but they are not free from having others question their sanity. The thrill of having an Olympian in the family isn’t worth the money. To go into debt, to lose your home and be forced into bankruptcy just isn’t worth it. The kids who make it might make a little money on this stuff. But you know there are hundreds who have wasted their money but will never make it.
About Steven
Congratulations on being elected as a delegate. As the recent Chic Fil A episode has shown, Americans are willing to follow a Bible believing, God fearing man. This has been proven again by your being elected a delegate.
I hope and pray that our election in November follows the will of the citizenry of the USA and is not manipulated by men with criminal intent.
I think what the Chick-fil-A thing shows is that there is still a vocal Moral Majority group out there. It’s been 20 years since the Christian Coalition and those groups seemed to die out. Perhaps it’s time for them to return.
Congrats on your election, Steve. Good for you for serving.
Thanks. It’s not really as important as it sounds but it’s fun seeing my name on the ballot.
Congratulations on your victory to attend the GOP convention! If I lived in your city or state you would have gotten 138 votes!
About the Olympics, I think they are heathen competitions from the get-go and useless worship of the human body and prowess. I think the vast majority of winners take enhancing drugs and have figured out the system to beat the system. Any event that gives out free condoms to the participants (15 each this year) I KNOW is an event from the pits of hell.
After the opening anti-capitalist, anti-free-market, pro-Marxist, pro-communist obvious theme, we took off all our timers to DVR events.
About their not being political, here’s my take…If the Olympics are not political, then voting day is an athletic event.
The Olympics were conceived by idol worshipers and nothing much has changed since.
The Romans had their games the keep the masses entertained and the Greeks had theirs. The Olympics is just another extension of that brainwashing venue — and ALL of Hollyweird and ALL of the entertainment/sports contributions from every where in the USA, I include in that evilness too.
Read:
[Romans 1:25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
[1 Corinthians 8:5] For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) [6] But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Plus,
Daniel 3:1-30
In 1992 when they started handing out condoms to the competitors, was the beginning of the end of the Olympics.
God is not mocked! And God wins every competition!
Thanks, I would have loved to have received your vote. I don’t have a problem with athletic contests, I’m a big sports fan myself. Paul was interested in the Greek races, so there isn’t anything Biblically wrong with sports. That said, the Olympics have become an ode to socialism and godlessness.
Congratulations, Hon!! DAMN you’re GOOD!!
Thanks Banfield! Democrats will surely be DEVASTATED by my victory!
Congratulations on your victory, Steven. Go to the convention and make your mark.
As for the Olympics, there is entirely too much hype for my taste. I don’t have a TV, so the only things I can see are the videos online. I often wonder why we are letting professional athletes participate. I thought they were supposed to be armatures, but they are anything but.
I don’t think there’s any such thing as an amateur athlete anymore.
