The last I will say about Amendment One is, this issue has become personal as it should be. Think about the people backing this bill. Think about the many years preachers and politicians alike were trying to get it passed then lo and behold Repubs got control of the North Carolina General Assembly. Understand me as I say this, this is an issue some found to be important, same as Obamacare. This amendment tries to do what others can’t, make this law stronger so it won’t be overturned. The problem is: is this the only thing they wanted, or are they trying to destroy the lives of others they may disagree with. My axe to grind is two simple things: the Constitution and separation of church and state. The church has a voice and a say but is it best for everyone else that their dictates be the standard?

I could argue this issue biblically, or constitutionally but I see pass all the B.S. for what it really is: a wedge issue. The so-called church has been bought and sold. As I say this, if you comment, you’re too small to matter in this issue. Preachers talk a good game but are inconsistent with what the word teaches. This whole issue is unfair, wasteful and racist. One NC state senator’s wife was caught unawares, I’m speaking of the honorable Sen. Peter Brunstetter (R) wife who said he wanted to pass the bill to preserve the white race, I may add allegedly. Where’s the outrage from the church…wait, aren’t they the same ones that used the Bible to justify slavery and uphold miscegenation laws as well as Jim Crow? The church is on the wrong side of this issue, again; this is a wedge issue to get the electorate excited to vote in all Repubs. Everything that has been written in the amendment isn’t clear language; it’s convoluted language. I guess we will have to pass the bill to see what’s in it. I thought we were a free society, to let people live and be and exist. If Christians want to be a part of the game and get involved in constitutional matters, then it’s fair game for the church to be outed.  Let’s look into their taking care of the poor, the widow, the stranger. It’s time they are investigated for having politicians speak at their churches. It’s time for some tax exempt statuses to get revoked, time for the church to come out and be separate. I’ve said enough on this issue, vote no or vote how you feel. Overall, make an informed decision, not an uninformed one.

Romney is feeling good these days. He’s being tepidly endorsed by the very ones who complained it wasn’t fair because of his Super Pac monies. He’s taken to his new platform to blast the President on foreign policy. He’s trying to tie him to Jimmy Carter, who I thought was descent, even though he had a few miscues/missteps that cost him the office. Romney blasted Obama for not being for small businesses, another tough issue. I know some small business owners who say Obama has been bad for their business and others that say differently. Foreign policy is so difficult and is written so horribly many don’t know what it really consists of.  The other part is, should the President run on his accomplishments? Why not, others did, Bush won an election by spreading fear, wasn’t it him that said “mission accomplished.” Obama will probably win a second term, look at what he’s against, this country is wandering aimlessly about in the wilderness, forever lost.

Why are so Americans renouncing their citizenship? Is being an expatriate the new freedom; just a thought. Read more at the Russian Times.
