By George Goner (The Haunted Cabaret)Not long ago, well within this generation's memory, Halloween had been reduced from a sacred ceremony, celebrated by our pagan ancestors, to a few doomed pumpkins on front porches, and a small number of sad-looking kids in Little Mermaid and Darth Vader costumes wandering around the neighborhoods looking for candy. Now, two decades later, Halloween has become both big business and a time for Satanic ritual sacrifice, a holiday celebrated with horror festivals, haunted houses and hayrides, and a creative resurgence for Alice Cooper.
How did all this happen in so short a time? One reason is that people always look for escapist solutions to real-world problems. This explains the resurgent interest in supernaturalism during times of war, plague, and economic upheaval. The major reason All Hallow's Eve has regained much of its ancient bite, however, is not economic but religious: the Evangelical Christian Community is responsible for restoring the sense of evil and mystery long missing from October 31st. By Wildside Clyde The RI GOP and State Rep and Republican Finance Director Doreen Costa are fighting for American Sovereignty from United Nations rule and preserve the US Constitution and Liberties by having a Riffle Raffle. The Riffle Raffle is this Sunday 10/6 at the South County Rod & Gun Club 10 a.m. – 5p.m. the winner gets Smith & Wesson’s AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle. Of Course the winner will have to comply with state and federal background checks anD requirements before he/she takes possession of the riffle. Tickets only $5 or 6 tickets for $25... of course I bought 6. Naturally this event is catching the eye of all kinds bringing heat for both parties. Now typical of a sinking progressive ship called The State of Rhode Island. Providence Mayor Angel Taveras thinks it is outrageous. A semiautomatic weapon is not a raffle prize; it is a weapon that can inflict lethal force. We do not need more of these weapons winding up on our streets.” I say Mayor Taveras I think Providence’s high taxes combined with inadequate city services and failing school system is OUTRAGEOUS? The lack of economic opportunity leads to high crime rates. House Speaker Gordon D. Fox, D-Providence, said: “To glorify the use of an assault rifle for political profit is insensitive to the victims of gun violence and their families, especially those in nearby Newtown, Conn. I would hope the Republican Party could come up with better ways to raise money.” I say Speaker Fox this raffle brings awareness to the UN Gun Treaty that Sen. Kerry sneaked through trying to give away our US Constitutional to the UN. Bringing up the tragic Newtown incident is so low on your part did the Democracts address the real issues of mental health and the effects of pharmaceuticals ? Attorney General Peter Kilmartin said: “One can and should question the motives behind such a political stunt that will put a deadly weapon in the hands of an unknown person simply because they purchased a $5 ticket. There are certainly more constructive ways to have a meaningful and thoughtful discussion on gun control.” I say this comment scares me the most. Again how typical of a double dipping pension ex- policeman not KNOWING the laws on gun ownership? Mr. Kilmartin lead by exampleand give up YOUR GUNS. What the RI. GOP and Doreen Costa are fighting for your rights as an American from the UN Gun Treaty to the NSA to the Tax called Obamacare that will set our Country back years to a balance budget so your Grandkids won't have to pay our debt. God Bless America and May God Save our Country. Enrollment in the Health Insurance Exchange program of Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act officially begins today.
