Is Chris Christie a bigot?

Chris Christie, Republican candidate for Governor in New Jersey, came out today and said he will do everything he can to block gay marriage in our state.
So my guess is the man doesn't believe in the basic principle of "land of the free". I guess if Christie had his way we'd amend that statement to be "land of the free except if you're gay".

Mr. Christie? If you're out there can you tell me what you base this decision on? Do you have some kind of religious opinion on gays or do you just hate them? Why is it they don't deserve the same freedoms as you, your wife and children?

Or is this just a ploy trying to drag the good old boys under your wing? Kind of like the the Palin syndrome when McCain snatched up just any old woman to try and sway the female base of the population over to this side. Too bad he didn't vet her before letting her open her mouth.

If we think back to the reason America broke away from England all those many eon's ago we can remember it was for religious freedom. Our founding father's risked everything to break away from oppressive overlords who thought they could micromanage the lives of the people. Now we have a man running for Governor who wants to impose his own views into the marriages of people living in New Jersey. What business is it of his who any of us marry? Shouldn't that be our right? Our freedom?
Chris Christie? Stay out of our marriage, our homes and our bedrooms. You don't belong here.

Boycotting Eagle Sponsors

Anyone who owns a dog should be disgusted by the Eagles signing a dog killer.
This man participated in the murders of at least 8 dogs. He took part in electrocuting, hanging, drowning, and slamming dogs into the ground to murder them. Now, if he had any morals at all wouldn't he at least have tried a more humane way to put the dog down? But hanging?
Picture it; He makes a noose with a piece of rope. slings the end of a branch of a tree behind his mansion then loops the other end around a dogs neck. Do you think the dog looked up at him with big brown eyes full of love and devotion? Do you think he cowered in fear because he just watched other dogs being drowned? So, Vick gets this rope snugly around the dogs neck and then what? Did Mr. Vick yank on the other end and laugh as the dog fought against the rope tightening around his throat? Did the dog writhe in pain as the noose cut off his air supply? Was Mr. Vick laughing as the dog twitched, paws helplessly waving in the air as it died?
Or was he simply planning how to kill the next dog in line? Which would be better? Drowning? Oh, how about an electrocution?
And now after serving 18 months he walks right back into your children's lives as a football hero. Did he really pay his debt to society as some claim? I don't think so. How about a year in jail for each dog he murdered? And how about he serve his entire sentence instead of getting out early?
Let your feelings be known.
Just say no.
The Eagles see only $$$ where Vick is concerned. So hit them where the dollar signs hurt. Boycott their sponsors.
On the Eagles Website you see ads for Rite Aide, Sovereign Bank and others. Send these folks an email and tell them if they support dog killers you don't support them.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Obama's 100 days.

One hundred days. Always some kind of mile stone for a new Prez. So now we get to judge him. Let's see...he's been working on the economy (something ignored for the last few years so OMG what a mess!), working on an intelligent plan to get us out of Iraq (And he's listening to his generals. I believe in the last admin when a general made suggestions that weren't popular they were reassigned), more stimulus checks coming out. I'm not getting one but it looks like its going to people who really need it so that's a good thing.
Getting rid of Gitmo. Since it's turned into a huge embarrassment to our country that's a good thing. And no they aren't going to release the bad guys into our country (have you seen those ridicules emails floating around?). Those who belong in jail will just go to other jails. Simple.
Let's face it, Obama took control of a country in trouble and he's moving forward. What more can we ask? Cleaning up 8 years of mismanagement takes time.
I think he's doing okay. What do you think?

Strange times indeed...

We all know "nuck-li-ar" but there were so many more moments in the last eight years. Reading back on them I get the extreme urge to edit. Must be the writer in me.
I met this man running for governor of our state so I wandered on over to his website and (oh boy!) did the urge to edit come on strong. Like I wanted to send this guy an email and point out these things...comma placement, run on sentences, WRITING THE WHOLE THING IN CAPS, and other random mistakes. Yes, we all miss a comma here and there, but five paragraphs without a comma? Makes ya go; hmmmm. Correct him? I wanted to, but I didn't do it. After all, who am I to tell him anything. And do I really want a dialog with this man?
Scary that he's running for governor and doesn't know basic grammar. Some of the stuff on his website was scary too. Like the fact that our NSA (National Security Agency) planned 9/11 as a way to control the people. And the fact that there was no bio. He's asking our state to put him in our highest office and doesn't think its important we know his background, education or history. He lost my vote right there. (Okay, the 9/11 conspiracy did it, too)
