What the crap is going on in this country!

I've never really been
too much of a doom and gloom naysayer, but in these most recent times its almost
hard not to.

The first problem is proposition 8 in California. It
absolutely makes me sick to see how many members of the church are saying that
the church is wrong. Since when does the church work that way. Since when does
god work that way. It seems to me from the book of Mormon that when people start
doing this kind of thing they are only a few steps away from going over and
killing the Lamanite king and putting themselves into power to try and fix what
was wrong. God has called his prophet, and if you don't support him you can walk
away. It is as simple as that.

Barack Obama scares me. I don't think I
can say that any clearer. His views are totally opposite what is best for this
country. He can speak well, but so did all of the anti-Christs in the Book of
Mormon. I'm not asserting that he is an anti-Christ, but I'm also not saying
that he isn't. One can't help but wonder about the promise god has made on this
country. If the more part of the people are righteous we will be safe. It really
looks to me that, the righteous majority might be rapidly slipping away.

I specifically need to vote. I have a very bad voting record, but this
is just to important to let slide. I need to be able to say after this election
that I DID NOT vote for Barack Obama. I still want to enjoy my freedoms.

A very scary story was emailed to me and I'm going to paste it here.

A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students
in the
class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed
one young
man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back and stretching as
if his back
hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The
student told
him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while
fighting
communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his
country's
government and install a new communist government. In the midst of
his story he
looked at the professor and asked a strange question.
He
asked, 'Do you know
how to catch wild pigs?' The professor thought it was a
joke
and asked for
the punch line. The young man said this was no joke.
'You
catch wild pigs by
finding a suitable place in the woods and
putting corn on the
ground.
The pigs find it and begin to come every day
to eat the free corn..
When
they are used to coming every day, you put a
fence down one side of the
place where they are used to coming.
When
they get used to the fence,
they
begin to eat the corn again and you put
up another side of the fence.
They get
used to that and start to eat
again. You continue until you have
all four sides
of the fence up with a
gate in the last side.
The pigs,
who are used to the free corn, start to
come through the gate to eat, you slam
the gate on them and catch the whole
herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost
their freedom. They run around and
around inside the fence, but they are caught.
Soon they go back to eating
the free corn. They are so used to it that they
have forgotten how to forage
in the woods for themselves, so they accept
their captivity. The young man
then told the professor that is exactly
what he sees happening to America .
The government keeps pushing us toward
socialism and keeps spreading the
free corn out in the form of programs such
as
supplemental income, tax
credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies,
dairy
subsidies, payments
not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine,
drugs, etc..
While we
continually lose our freedoms - just a little at a
time. One should
always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! A
politician
will
never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it
yourself. If you
see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a
problem confronting the
future of democracy in America , you might want
to
send this on to your friends.
If you think the free ride is essential
to
your way of life then you will probably delete this email, but God help
you when
the gate slams shut! In this 'very important' election year, listen
closely to
what the candidates are promising you !! Just maybe you will be
able to tell who
is about to slam the gate on America 'A government big
enough to give you
everything you want, is big enough to take away
everything you have.' –
Thomas Jefferson

Compared to our founding fathers we already have all of the fences up, and we
are just waiting for the gate to shut.

On a lighter note. Guess who got the highest score in the class on his most
recent math test? I'll just let you decide who. ;)
