Enough braying
I see you are in Tualatin. That brings back memories, as I was in Lake Oswego through high school and early life after that, and then spent some time in Portland before going on down to Dallas to help my aging dad, a few years back.
I really do like it in Oregon, though, despite whatever else in politics is a problem, there.
BUT ... I’ll tell you the difference between Christianity in Oregon, versus in Oklahoma and Texas. Around here, Christianity is everywhere, but a whole lot of it is “cultural” ... so it fools people from outside of the area.
However, Christianity in Oregon is not so cultural (in the general population) so it’s more of a “committed stance” than it is around here! Around here, if you’re a redneck, you’re “automatically” a Christian, and real Christians know that isn’t true.
SO ... many times I wish and long for the Christianity of Oregon than I do of Texas and Oklahoma.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer couple. May they enjoy their time behind bars.
Well brayed.
If you think Oregon has won anything in this other than an even farther leftist Governor, think again
I think this has very little to do with the corruption, and a whole lot more to do with the fact that now a homosexual is going to be governor.
The corruption was simply the tool to get it into the governors chair.
Nice writing Bray. This is the first complete article I have read in a long time. (pardon my grammar, I went to public school and am sick)
As a Floridian spending the weekend visiting phamily in Phoenix, I am essentially clueless about the Oregon situation. But Democrats in power do not allow little things like corruption to get in the way of their “progress,” so there has to be something deeper going on here.
My question: did the governor associate with the “wrong” branch of the Democrat hierarchy? Is this either Clintonistas taking out a Chicago supporter for one of their own, or the Chicago Way taking out a Clinton supporter for one of their own? Oregon is going to go Democrat in the 2016 election, so the only electoral question would be who gets the state apparatus support in the primary.
Anyone happen to know if I’m on the right track here, or if it’s something else?
If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.
I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
Gov. Kitzhaber holds the record for the shortest time in office: 1.12.15 - 2.18.15? Yikes!
Good piece. I live in the Roseburg area and I am kind of a news junkie, I knew very little about all this until after the election. The D party and their PR group the press knew it all and failed in their duty. We have to have an R government, it is the only government that has a check on it in the form of the fourth estate.
