RE: The Explosive Growth of the Amish

in #steemitbloggers7 years ago

We have a huge community just East of Tulsa where they own most of one county out there. I love the food they grow, the wood they sell, and the furniture they make! I respect them for their faith, and hard work, and with the hat I wear, I was mistaken for one once, LOL! I was NOT insulted by that, but I was undoubtedly the ONLY one in the county; with a concealed handgun in my pocket, ROFLOL! :)

I was never more impressed with them than in the last election. The registered 80,000 voters in Pa, and carried the state by 30,000 votes extra.
I have always held them in high esteem; but they stunned me with their fervor in voting for the first time!
:)

smithlabs! ha! you being mistaken for an Amish is good.
the voting thing is remarkable and with their increasing numbers they could be a powerful block in a few years.

I agree, I was NOT insulted. Those are good Men!

They registered, for the first time in History. They asked their equivalent of a Deacon, why they registered. He told them; "to vote", they said they understood that, but why now? He told them, on Live TV; "Because Hillary is the spirit of Anti-Christ (which is solid Bible)!"

I am sure that THAT reporter was fired, LOL! :D

that interview got aired where he said that?
I'm surprised they let that get out.

That is why I said he was fired for sure! Never ask a question; if you don't already have the answer! :D

is that the way they do it?

Absolutely! They are liberals, so they will fire for politics, at the drop of a hat! <:(
