Get Rid of Horses and Buggies on Iowa Highways -
05-07-2015, 03:05 PM
This just bugs me. Whenever I'm racing from one appointment to another I seem to come up on one of these silly buggies pulled by a stupid horse.
I told Iowa Governor Terry Branstead to get them off our highways now. He always tells me they vote. I explain that is his problem, I have none of them in Freehold and I need to get around the state.
I'm not sure what religion they claim to be. I think the horses and buggies are a hobby--no good religion would ignore the progress of the automobile.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

If there is a petition going around, I'll gladly sign it, Mr. Mayor. These things are truly ridiculous, they slow down traffic, and there is no reason to ride a 19th-century horse carriage in the 21th century. That's what we have cars for. (I'm surprised that these people don't stick to Biblical technology and ride in iron chariots - maybe it has something to with Judges 1:19?).
However, don't totally get rid of these people, Mr. Mayor. They do produce nice wooden furniture.

Another question, why do they run their horses so slow? Kentucky Derby horses run about 40 mph. These old buggy horses must be about 15 mph. If they ran faster horses, or drove pickups like Christian country boys, they could get back to the furniture shop sooner.

They really bother me, those people. I find them to be so sanctimonious and arrogant. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a person who thinks they're holier than everyone else, and think nothing of wearing their faith on their sleeve like that. Nothing but arrogance. And people who pretend modest clothes are stylish really irk me.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

Has anybody thought about the horses? I'm sure they'd be much happier in the paddocks frolicking with their friends, rather than dragging boring religious people around all day - people who are quite capable of driving a pick-up truck.

They're communists. They all live together in communes and build barns for each other.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

From time to to time when I am driving my Kenworth, I am pretty sure I have come across those things. Though the bump that I get with AirRide® is such that I really do not mind, assuming nothing gets caught on my undercarriage.
I imagine in something smaller like an Escalade, it might be able to scratch the Pearlescent©.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Maybe you should all just buy an airplane to fly over them so you wouldn't have to worry about it. One thing I will agree with you about:
Their choice of attire is just sad. It's bad when the sister wives of Brigham Young have more taste than the Amish. Pretty pastels at least offer a bit of hope and levity, while the dark blues, browns, and blacks of the amish invoke memories of cemeteries and the king of hades.
In Christ,

Ditto sister. I only wear black when someone passes...otherwise, I wear pretty feminine colors. God did make me a female, and I praise Him for all that He does. Psalm 34:1
"Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands." Proverbs 14:1

Why, dear? Mourning the dead is something only the Catholics do. You should rejoice that your deceased family members are going to Heaven, and if they are going the opposite direction, then they're not worthy of mourning anyway.
Don't forget what said about burying your dead:
Matthew 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Firing off a .44 out of my car window usually gets them out of the way.
They don't like really loud air horns either.
