Thank God for democracy, the weather and George W. Bush

July 12, 2012

Here's my annual contribution of my thoughts on democracy: First, God makes the weather, including violent events. So people of faith should be calling Heaven and raising Hell.

Second: If you don't believe in climate change, you are gambling with your descendants' health and well-being.

Third: If you want smaller government, why are you complaining about the mayor, the governor and the president? We have 300 million-plus folks to support today, compared to two-and-a half million when the Constitution was signed. Do the math and make up your minds.

Fourth: If you don't like how BGE handled the recent storm, agree to pay an extra $100 a month for preparedness protection.

Fifth: If you hate state-sponsored gambling, pay more taxes.

Sixth: If you are a Republican, I hope you sent a birthday wish to former PresidentGeorge W. Bushon July 6 thanking him for his accomplishments during his time in office.
