I love our Republican governor, Rick Snyder. He is a
business man that runs the state as a business and so far he is doing a great
job.
BUT he is different from other Michigan Republicans who, as
evidenced by the recent anti-bullying fiasco, are plain and simple, RELIGIOUS
KOOKS and as such, represent a danger to all Michiganians.
I have talked about our Republican Attorney General, Bill
Schuette on a number of occasions. He was openly a religious nut case before
his election but no one seemed to notice as voters voted against any and all
things Democratic, blaming the Democrats for all that is wrong with their lives
and I can agree with some of them BUT…
When we vole for a Republican’s belief in fiscal
conservatism and responsibility (which I admire) we also have to be aware that
the Republican’s conservatism with money matters can also bring with it a
religious conservatism and fundamentalism that borders on a return to the dark
ages. Not all Republicans fit this bill but voting Republican will always bring
with it a danger of social regression.
I do not like attorney generals because they are always
running for higher office and that is their primary concern and not the
legality at hand. Schuette has already embroiled the state in religious matters
when it was not the state’s business to do so and now he is concentrating on
attacking the use of marijuana even though Michigan
I gave up cigarettes many years ago after being a heavy
smoker in my younger days. I finally have my lungs nice and clean and I will
not go back to smoking and to me, smoking marijuana is still smoke in your
lungs so it is not something I would do under any circumstance BUT I voted to
allow medicinal marijuana and I would vote to legalize marijuana across the
board since I consider smoking marijuana on par with drinking liquor; if you
allow one you should allow the other.
Bill Schuette has decided that marijuana is evil and he will
prevent its use no matter what the voters say. It appears that to Schuette,
marijuana use is somehow against his religious and moral beliefs but for the
life of me, I cannot figure out why.
But the greater issue here is why one man and his belief
system is allowed to stymie the wishes of a majority of Michigan
I don’t know what we can do legally at this point to tell
him to concentrate on legal matters that actually are serious and need attention
and quit playing with bullshit issues that should not concern him.
We can make sure when the next elections come up that we
make sure we are not electing someone that is a closet religious kook just
waiting his chance to tell us how to live according to HIS belief system.
