Glorious Election Day Morning SBR

[Blondie]

I saw a T Shirt on Facebook last night and I will admit I entertained the idea a little. It said

"Vote for Bob Ross".

For those of you with no clue who Bob Ross is, Mr. Ross is a man who painted on the local cable network PBS channel 16 it was here. I am not sure if he was ever really famous, but this man had a style about him.

What caught your attention (well honestly after the giant afro thing on his head) was phrases like

"Let's give this tree a friend, like I always say everyone needs a friend"

and

"The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe."

He seems to have the concept of Washington asnd government down pretty well

"That's a crooked tree. We'll send him to Washington."

"Oooh, if you have never been to Alaska, go there while it is still wild. My favorite uncle asked me if I wanted to go there, Uncle Sam. He said if you don't go, you're going to jail. That is how Uncle Sam asks you."


So, aside from the fact that the guy's dead, (and really not sure that would matter to our government some days...) imagine a world where we aren't constantly looking for the next war, where our country believes in itself again, and where "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents."

(stepping off of soap box now)

So, who are you guys on today?

Haha YES!

MY JR high math teacher looked EXACTLY like this guy. It was kinda creepy...

Oh Lester I am not saying it isn't a priveldge to vote, but imagine if we truly had a candidate with America's best interest at heart and would keep that desire... imagine the things this country could accomplish

I loved bob Ross he was like a magician with that brush

[Let's Go Rangers]

Even if the POTUS had our best interest in mind, he would still have to deal with Congress


If the opposite of pro is con

What is the opposite of progress?

[lesterdymond]

Haha YES!

I totally agree..

There are several factors and conspiracies on why that person doesn't exist. I'm waiting too.

Poster BIGDAY's endorsement...

Romney.
Poster BIGDAY doesn't approve of the government to tell him which fukkin sock to put on first.

Voting YES for marriage
Here in Minny this is a close issue. Poster BIGDAY believes in one man and one woman marriages.
Can you believe if this same sex marriage passes, that if churches don't honnor that they will lose their state tax exempt filing?? Unreal.

Voting YES for voter ID
why the hell has it taken until 2000 and fukkin 12 to figure out that this should be required???? Unreal


Everyone have a great day.

[wikkidinsane]

gay sex is the future. People are going to start having gay sex in public, churches, synagogues etc. Vote for same sex marriages!

EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

OMG Bob Ross! Brings back memories. I was into that awhile back and bought his paint set at the art store.

Undecided on Pres. Straight up Dem on the other races. I won't vote for children.

[PittsburghPlayer]

imagine a world where we aren't constantly looking for the next war, where our country believes in itself again, and where "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents."

That would take the people forcing the politicians to act in our interests, not theirs - and that will never happen because the only thing this country is united in is the love of power, control money.

[Blondie]

I loved bob Ross he was like a magician with that brush

He so was, back in the olden days when we only had three channels I watched a lot of Bob Ross on the weekends. It was just amazing some of the things he could do with a paintbrush it all seemed so lifelike.

Understand the logic behind some of your statements Bigday! Really do... but on the same note if you do not want the government to tell you which sock to put on first, should they really tell you who you have to marry?

Haha I am amazed at the number of people on here that know who I am talking about! It's kind of cool!

While I don't disagree with that, even if the people decided to have the politicians act that way, are we still at a point where things can be changed or have we fallen so far down that there just is no hope left?

That's kind of the way I've always looked at it. Even though I'm not in favor of gay marriage personally, it seems contradictory to say that you're in favor of the free market and oppose same-sex marriage.

Then again, I also listen to old people bitch about Obama's "socialist" policies all day long right before they cash their SS checks and pick up their prescriptions with Medicare footing the bill, so go figure.

You can't unring the bell at this point.

Exactly my point! This should be decided by the church. Not the fukkin government. The last time I checked, the bible is fairly clear on this debate.

not to mention the oft heard "separation of church and state" line. often stated by Liberals begging for NOT legislating morality.


well you want true separation? have the government keep its hands OFF of a sacrament of the Church.

I don't care if you have civil unions and shit, but let's not use $ as a penalty against Churches that WANT to STAY SEPARATE and stick to their teachings and NOT be coerced by $ decisions brought upon by the gov.

Happy vote day, Blondie. I've been standing in line for two in a half hours with another hour in a half to go; gotta love Florida

Love it... My favorite was a man at a obamacare ralley that opposed it that had a sign that read" Keep your government hands of my "medicare"


Can't make this kinda shit up.

I don't want to get too far into this BIGDAY, but the Bible is clear about a lot of things that aren't applicable in modern times.

I understand the feeling and while the bible does make it very clear and while this country was founded on the prinicples of God and the Bible, everything has been strung so far out there that political correctness has become too much of a way of life. How can a country penalize a church when it wants to remove the very Being the church was founded on from everything relating to the government. We just can't have it both ways...

If the US doesn't want God in any of the things such as the Pledge of Allegiance or the schools, then what right does it have telling the church what they must accept as part of their doctrine?

The irony seems to be completely lost on that generation as a whole.

The way they see it: they put in their time and deserve it so programs like Medicare and Social Security are OK, but if it's not directly benefiting them, it's "socialism" or "communism."

throw the Bible out

do you think the government should be telling a particular faith, how they should act?

christian, muslim, jew, buddhist, ect..

should the government be legislating a faith community to do things that GO AGAINST THEIR BELIEFS? agree with them or not.

I'd be pissed if the government said that synagogues had to allow people to eat bacon in the front row ect

I'm still trying to figure out how someone who is so concerned about the literal interpretation of the Bible when it comes to same-sex marriage can be so blaze about other things the Good Book teaches and interprets. I'm no Bible thumper, but I'm also not an atheist. I go to Church. I don't really understand people who pick and choose when to back the Good Book when it comes to their own personal moral beliefs. Supposedly some rules apply no matter what, while others are archaic and need to be disregarded.

I agree Arch. Why same-sex marriage is a government issue is beyond me, other than the fact that it affects taxation of couples. But isn't the idea of same-sex marriage a free-market principle at its core?

Thanks, man. The people that have been inside said there's only one lady looking up names.
