Oh No!

 OH NO!

The Minnesota House just passed the bill legalizing marajuana.  Their senate will soon follow.  Iowa will then be surrounded on three sides with the horrific spector of legal marijuana coming into the State from three sides.  What will we do?  

The answer of our law enforcement personnel is very simple - - put more people in jail, give more people criminal records, collect more garbage in the middle of the night, obtain search warrants so that you house can be flooded with strangers with guns pointed at you for having some marijuana residue somewhere on the premises.  It's all very entertaining - - for some.

On the other hand, it is a clear sign that our law enforcement people don't have enough to do.  Like writing a traffic ticket where someone didn't come to a complete stop on a deserted street in the middle of the night with not a moving car in sight.  These actions by our law enforcement can only be the product to two things:  boredom or meanness or maybe both.

The notion that our local police are here to serve and protect is a difficult proposition to accept some days.  They give no sign of serving or protecting when they go busting into someone's house looking for a bag of weed or give someone a traffic ticket for no purpose whatsoever other than to give themselves something to do.

And although law enforcement gives a great deal of effort to convincing the public that they are there to protect them and to serve them, it is clear that they are not there for either of these two purposes.  They are there to enforce the laws of the State of Iowa regardless of what they may be or who it will affect.  Don't care.  Not their concern.  I will say they are normally polite when they do it; which is for the simple reason that there are less complaints if you are needlessly giving people a problem while smiling.

Don't Let Them Vote

 DON’T LET THEM VOTE

If we haven’t had enough to deal with, like homosexuals, now we have to deal with people that claim they are “transgender”.  You know - - enough already!  Not only should we have a national religion, we should have a national sexuality and that should be straight, heterosexual sex:  you know, like between a man and a woman.

It’s not only the right thing to do, but it’s Biblical and if it’s Biblical, then it’s got to be the right thing.  If someone is going to hell for sinning, there really is no reason to let them vote - - somebody like them might actually get elected like that guy from Indiana who is now Secretary of Transportation.  Can you believe it, Biden put a gay guy in charge of our highways.  How bad is that?

We need to have our sexual identity on our driver’s license:  if straight an S, if gay a G, if transgender a T, and if you don’t have any sexual identity at all, you really do need to start over - - no voting for you!  So let’s give this the thought it deserves shall we.  The only way we are going to keep gays and transgenderites out of public office is to make sure they can’t vote.  And there is nothing anti-American about this.

We have been discriminating against people ever since we have been a country and before and, I for one, see no reason to stop now.  When we first started only white males that owned property could vote, and I know our women folk won’t think much of this, but black men were allowed to vote before them, and not without good reasons either.  Our wives thought they should actually have a say in how things were run.  Not a good idea at all.  Things were just fine the way they were.  After all, doesn’t the Bible say to keep you women folk silent in the congregation.  And if it’s in the Bible, that’s the way it should be.

Now I know the Democrats will not support this nor anyone who claims to be a liberal - - a bunch of pansies is what they are!.  This is another reason to vote Republican - - they are a lot more likely to agree and do something about this situation than those bunch of pinkos who think everyone ought to be equal.  They don’t even believe in capitalism.  So, show you are a real American and contact your local candidates; it all starts at the local level; and with enough grassroots support, I think our State legislature would be receptive given the chance.
