The Reverends Rant
Know what REALLY pisses me off?
Too much to put here, but this page was set up for me, so I will try to give you a glimpse at some of the things that drive me up the wall and make me want to explode. So, SINstead of doing that, I try to post some of those things here and, because of that, my blood pressure can stay at a reasonable level.

'TIS THE SEASON
Here we go again.... at the DOLLAR TREE the other day. At least 15 people in the two checkout lines. After ringing up each customer, the clerk was asking each person "Would you care to donate a dollar to Toys For Tots today?". You would not believe how many people were saying "NO". At the fucking DOLLAR store! Right before CHRISTMAS, to give to the TOYS FOR TOTS? You know, the KIDS who don't have anything. That toy they get from Toys For Tots may be the ONLY thing they get. So, you - who by the way I'm sure DROVE to the store - can't give a dollar? Not even now, when it is cold as can be outside and there are people who are so much worse off than you, with kids to take care of. That dollar you horde so closely ---- hold onto it. You never know when you're gonna be somewhere in line buying some stuff that in the long run means nothing and you'll be a dollar short. You'll be prepared. Pull out that one dollar and plop it down on the counter. Good thing you didn't give it to those people who were collecting for those less fortunate.
ELECTION TIME
I cannot stand it any longer. I have tried to hold this in as long as humanly possible, but it cannot go any longer without beng said. I hope that AMERICA can see through all the lies that are being put forth by the Democratic Party for this election. I hope that AMERICA will realize what danger is waiting just around the corner should Senator Obama be elected President. As always, I support your ability to choose and I am happy that people actually get out and vote. The problem comes when it turns into a "bandwagon", especially when so much is at stake. First off: Right now, America is teetering on the brink. The job market is horrendous. The credit market is horrible. The stock market is on the verge of collapse. America is not the shining beacon that this country has for so long been so proud of. The average Joe is struggling to make ends meet. Today, it was announced that GM (one of thge largest companies in the world) is on the verge of disaster. This could very well translate into the LOSS OF 2 MILLION JOBS. That, my friends, is not a drop in the bucket. This is just ONE company. OK, get to the point, Reverend. Obama has stated OVER and OVER that should he be elected President, he would increase taxes on the largest companies. Then, he would give that money to the average citizen and use it for "tax breaks" for everyday Americans. Right now, TAXING THESE COMPANIES EVEN MORE IS RIDICULOUS! What do you think happens when the supplier of (for the sake of this post) "widgets" is charged more to get them to market to sell them? I'll give you a hint: PRICES GO UP! Period. This is a proven fact. America ALREADY has the 2nd largest corporate tax rate ON EARTH. He wants to increase it more? Also, he wants to give Americans making less than a certain amount, a one time "stimulus payment" of $1000 per person. He would get THAT money from people who make more than a certain amount. That is called "redistribution of wealth". Taking money from one guy who earned it and giving it to someone who hasn't earned it is called redistrubution of wealth. Period. That is SOCIALISM. I make more than you, so take my money and give it to you? Who is not paying attention here? Evidently, all these people who support Senator Obama. "Well, the rich can afford it and I don't mind paying a little extra" is what he says when questioned on it. Well, Senator, I am not rich and I will be damned if I want ANYONE taking ANY of my paycheck and giving it to ANYONE ELSE. He is against private gun ownership. "I support the 2nd Amendment to bear arms". That is a direct quote. Excuse me, but the 2nd Amendment GUARANTEES the right to KEEP and bear arms. These little things are actually very big things. The police and military can have guns, but you and I can't? Again, Socialism. Raise taxes, redistribute wealth, expand government control..... How can people be so blind? Our enemies are just waiting for this election and mark my words, they are PRAYING that Senator Obama wins. Raise the white flag of surrender and the problems from "over there" will become a problem "over here". As bad as the market is right now, he wants to raise taxes? He has said this over and over! He has NO RECORD of bi-partisianship in his VERY SHORT time in Congress. Lets not forget that Congress has an approval rating LOWER than the President! At least McCain has stood up and said "Not on my watch" to his own party when he needed to. "He voted 90% of the time with President Bush". That means, he voted against his party 10% of the time. Well, friends, Obama voted 100% of the time with his party. When he decided to show up to vote. Check his record. He either A) voted "Present" and did not make a choice or B) did not show up to vote at all MANY, MANY TIMES. At least Senator McCain showed up and did his job, LIKE HE WAS ELECTED TO DO. Senator Obama is outspending McCain 5 to 1 in advertising. MOST OF IT ON NEGATIVE ATTACK ADS! Typical democratic lies: scare the elderly people into thinking that their Social Security and Medicade payments are gonna stop. I firmly believe that IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF ME. The solution IS NOT MORE GOVERNMENT! That is the problem to begin with. A vote for Obama is a vote against America, against freedom and against the very ideals that this country was founded on. I BEG ALL OF YOU WHO WILL GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE: DON'T FALL FOR THE SMOKE AND MIRRORS OF THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET! MORE TAXES, MORE GOVERNMENT AND MORE BIG BROTHER ARE NOT WHAT WE NEED!
