Vote Freedom First — Vote Dave Agema for State Representative!
“Vote Freedom First.” What a crock of shit. The dude’s good on gun rights in Michigan, and I’m glad he’s going to win the local election, but I have a hard time equating “freedom” with the dude that got his mug on local television a few months ago pitching a fit because a local university was going to start offering benefits for unmarried people that lived together. He wanted to cut their entire budget by 5% for doing that.
Why? Gay cooties. We just can’t have our tax dollars going to them homosexuals now, can we? That’s immoral and a waste of taxpayer money!
Never mind that local businesses in this staunchly conservative area offer the exact same plans to their employees. I’m not sure how many do, but my wife’s employer does.
Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised at the NRA’s willy-nilly stance on tossing the “freedom” label around. They’ve endorsed McCain after peppering their America’s 1st Freedom magazine with anti-McCain articles, related to his legislation in campaign finance reform, for years.
The NRA’s “vote freedom first” campaign is as ludicrous as the ACLU sending me “I vote the Constitution!” bumper stickers.
I like the slogans, and I like the organizations, but I’m not delusional enough to think that they’re actually promoting what they say.
If this local university is a private university it is none of his damn’ business. Unfortunately, I believe that even Hillsdale College has been coerced into accepting Fedrul Bux. We have a “Definition of Marriage” Constitutional Amendment on the FL ballot. I’ll prolly ignore it, while voting for the Sarahcuda and that old guy, what’s his name.
I remember the “pregnant pig” amendment, which is now part of the Florida Constitution. You can look it up.
We’re easily at least as crazy as the Kali-fornians, here, we just do it at a lower and trashier level.
Thank you. I read with great interest. Blog Favorites raised his =)
