Meet Maine 's New Governor --- In case you haven't heard about this guy before,
his name will stick in your mind!
The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is
making New Jersey 's Chris Christie look like an enabler. He isn't afraid to
say what he thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his
popularity goes up.
He brought down the house at his inauguration when he
shook his fist toward the media box and said, "You're on notice! I've inherited
a financially troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't
whine if I don't waste time responding to your every whim just for your
amusement."
During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to
commercial fishermen who are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They
complained that 0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor andAcadia National
Park for a long Labor Day holiday and found time to meet with union leaders, but
wouldn't talk to the fishermen. LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go to hell and
get out of my State." The Lame Stream Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6
points in the pre-election poll.
The Martin Luther King incident was a
political sandbag, which brought him National exposure. The 'lame stream' media
crucified him, but word on the street is very positive. The NAACP specifically
asked LePage to spend MLK Day visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison.
He told them that he would meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were
to visit the prison. The NAACP balked and then put out a news release claiming
falsely that he refused to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the
paper for the 1st time the next morning while being driven to an event and went
ballistic because none of the reporters had called him for comment before
running the NAACP release.
He arrived at that event & said in front
of a TV camera, "If they want to play the race card on me they can kiss my ass",
and he reminded them that he has an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he
attended the local MLK Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He
started his morning there on MLK Day.)
He then stated that there's a
right way and a wrong way to meet with the Governor, and he put all special
interests on notice that press releases, media leaks, and all demonstrations
would prove to be the wrong way. He said any other group, which acted like the
NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of the Governor's priority
list!
He then did the following, and judging from local radio talk show
callers, his popularity increased even more: The State employees union
complained because he waited until 3 P.M. before closing State offices and
facilities and sending non-emergency personnel home during the last blizzard.
The prior Governor would often close offices for the day with just a forecast
before the first flakes. (Each time the State closes for snow, it costs the
taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no work in return.)
LePage was
CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain retail stores before
election as governor. He noted that State employees getting off work early could
still find lots of retail stores open to shop. So, he put the State employees on
notice by announcing: "If Marden's is open, Maine is open!"
He told State
employees: "We live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake, and should know
how to drive in it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida
!"
Governor LePage symbolizes what America needs; Refreshing politicians
who aren't self-serving and who exhibit common sense.
THE LAW IS
THE LAW So "if" the US government determines that it is against the law for the
words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.
And "if" that same
government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a
government installation, then, so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I
would like to be a law abiding US citizen.
I say, "so be it," because I
would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good
decisions.
I would like to think that those people have the American
public's best interests at heart.
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D
LIKE?
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His
Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe Government (Federal, State
and Local) and its employees should participate in Easter and Christmas
celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many
facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good
Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day.
I'd
like the" US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday,
Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another
day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to
worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another
day.
I'm thinking a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all
government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday &
Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other
day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically
correct."
In fact....I think our government should work on Sundays
(initially set aside for worshiping God....) because, after all, our government
says that it should be just another day.... What
do you all think???? If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected
officials will stop giving in to the "minority opinions" and begin, once again,
to represent the "majority" of ALL of the American people.
SO BE
IT...........Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our
country! 'Amen' and 'Amen' Touché!
These are definitely things I never
thought about but from now on, I will be sure to question those in government
who support these changes.
At the top, it says, "I hope this makes its
way around the USA several times!!!!!" Let's see that it does.
