You Get What You Vote For

Margaret, religion and politics are suffering from the same thing – Certainty.

Neither should have any and yet if you listen to the yahoos in the Tea Party you’ll quickly learn that they are full of certainty. Full of shit is more like it.

Religion is simply a matter of faith. Nothing more. You believe even without certainty. Therein lies the true beauty of religion.

And politics requires compromise. A politician acting with certainty is a politician representing a constituency of one. Once you have two or more, compromise must eventually come into play.

Michele Bachmann can keep on talking to God. Rick Perry can get down on his knees. Neither will make a difference because neither knows anything about faith or compromise. And they sure as hell don’t know a damn thing about the constitution.

Those fools can keep on mixing politics with religion. I’ll stick to mixing gin with tonic. Ten bucks says my way is better.

You get what you vote for. I mean it. Really.

  1. Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  2. Enlighten yourself, Mae “Jeg har fumlet rundt i morket men jeg har funnet veien ut
    og jeg skal aldn tilbake dit igjen.”
