Maybe Tina "where's my money, bitch" Turner could have changed the lyrics of her song to question religion instead of love...but would it have made a difference?
My gripe for the day is these jerk offs running for President who wear their religion like some kind of magic badge of honor that makes them better than anyone else. Why do I give a damn if Mitt Romney is a Mormon? Why does it matter if Mike Huckabee is a "better Christian" than any of the other candidates? Does it really make a difference if Giuliani is a Catholic, yet thinks abortion shouldn't be outlawed?
The bottom line is that they could be fascist anarchists but can they, and will they, do what is right for this country? Will they beat down the liberal menace that faces our country today? Will they abolish foolish laws and dismantle wasteful government programs like the IRS? Will they protect our borders and stop worrying about what the Mexican government thinks?
Some think that Ron Paul is the answer. I might have a different opinion of him if he wasn't riding the liberal "get the troops out now" wave. He isn't a terrible candidate except for the fact that he somehow thinks we can trade with our enemies and come out with anything other than an eventual attack on our soil.
I like the Libertarian idea of tiny government. What I don't like is the non-interventionist stance. How does this dude think we're going to get oil to put gas in our cars if we just leave the middle east? We could drill in Alaska, as I have endorsed...but then the environmentalist wing would be screaming saying we have no right to infringe on the natural owners of the land...polar bears and Inuit. They will always have an excuse to keep us from gaining our freedom from those who want to kill us....because they buy into this global warming horse shit.
I guess I should just stop whining and let the politicians preen like the evil peacocks that they are...and let the chips fall where they may...but what are we going to do if Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee wins the nomination? It'll be the choice of frying pan or fire because either you'll have a Hillary or Obama...or a religious zealot.
Unfortunately, I'll probably be forced to choose the zealot.
