An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
This Is Annoying
Things have gotten really nasty during this campaign. Ok, this is starting to look like a Civil War, without much blood shed…..so far. There are people on both sides complaining that their yard signs, McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden, are disappearing or being destroyed. I even heard at the local RP HQ’s that it’s happening around the Podunk area. We live in the boonies, so it hasn’t affected us, not to mention we don’t have any McCain/Palin signs up (they were out).
Now, while the Mr and I were on our way over to the park for him to do a big of pickin’ and grinnin’ this afternoon, I saw something that serious chaps my hide. A campaign sign that had obviously been vandalized. Was it a McCain/Palin sign? Nope! It was an Obama/Biden BIG sign. It appeared to have been sliced in half with a knife, or box cutter, or some such thing.
Now, I am in no way, shape, or form, a Barack Hussein Obama supporter, and I’m sure anyone who has taken a gander at my blog will know this! But for someone to do this? WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
I don’t want to believe that there are such people on the “right” side of this fight. I don’t want to, but I know there are some.
Now, KNOCK IT OFF! Both sides! Trespassing, vandalism, destruction of private property….this is NOT how grownups behave!
Well I can’t believe you are expecting ANYONE in this day and time to act like adults.. The education system of our nation is based on live and let live no consequences for your actions and no responsibility for your decisions.
this is NOT how grownups behave!
@Robert:
Hmmm…. I guess it’s my age. Yeah…I kind of expect SOME folks to act like they’ve got the good sense that God gave them. Asking too much? sigh….
@Pastor John:
Well, I didn’t use to think so, but….
This is the underlying issue, the generation gap, the consequences of liberal education, the lack of responsibility for ones actions.
The consequence of religion being removed from schools is, there is no “Payback for bad decisions” EVEN if you don’t believe in GOD, or religion it provides a a guideline and “IF you do this, you will have to answer for it” mentality.
We have lost that in the last generation and as a consequence our jails are full, and murder and robbery and other crimes are at very HIGH levels.

@Robert:
I’m of the opinion, if you’re speaking the truth, it’s not a rant.
I’ve been of the same mind for a LONG time. When there are no consequences for bad behavior, it just reinforces the behavior. The Good Lord set down some pretty good rules, and if followed, would eliminate a great many of today’s problems.
