The whole state of South Carolina refused to allow the Casino to be built in their State, but Cleveland County officials welcomed such \u201cSin Centers\u201d with open arms. With little to NO opposition from Organized Churches here in CC. Note that Casino\u2019s seem to attract other vices beside gambling. Prostitution and illegal drugs also come to mind. All with little to no major complaints from CC Churches.<\/p>\n<p>The Uptown Shelby \u201cSocial District.\u201d Where pubic consumption of alcoholic drinking is allowed to \u201cspill out\u201d onto the streets of uptown (or downtown0 Shelby in plain and open sight of our children. Right in front of the First Baptist Church and other Churches, without a peep of complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple \u201cHemp Stores\u201d sprouting up everywhere in Cleveland County. At least five Hemp Stores in CC that Robert A has heard of. Kings Mountain, Grover and Shelby. Note that this count is around six months old. With more such stores opening or ready to open.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor\u2019s Inn in Shelby becoming a well-known place for drug sales and consumption, Prostitution solicitation and performance, deaths and other criminal acts and mayhem going on for decades. With little to NO outrages by the nearby Organized Churches of Shelby.<\/p>\n<p>Graft and corruption among county and city officials going on for decades. Including lucrative \u201cland \u201cflips,\u201d taxpayer funds being used to pay for travel junkets, and other unethical and\/or illegal acts. Financial mismanagement of all sorts.<\/p>\n<p>Various Unconstitutional acts that violate citizens the rights of Freedoms of speech, due process and equal protections under the law.<\/p>\n<p>Various abuses of Federal Laws that are supposed to protect citizens from criminal violations made under the \u201cColor of Law.\u201d See US Code 262<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Folks, The original purpose of this article was in regard to the \u201cWOKE\u201d Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde\u2019s (bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington) public rebuke from the Pulpit of President Trump at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Bishop Budde is a long-time Trump-Hater and wacko-wierdo who let her foolish political opinions bleed over into her presentation of her \u201cSermon\u201d from the pulpit with President Trump sitting there in the Front Pew. Bishop Budde\u2019s rebuke of Trump is all over the national news and Robert A won\u2019t repeated it here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However: many People of God, Including Rev. Franklin Graham of NC, have been very, very critical of Bishop Budde\u2019s foolish statements. From Robert A\u2019s prospective, this was the best comment:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cause of America\u2019s decline was not what was sitting in the pew but what was standing behind the pulpit. What we heard today was not a prophetic voice from the church, but rather pathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By, Tony Perkin, President of the Family Research Council.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Considering all the various items listed above, from Robert A\u2019s immediate memory, Robert A believes that Cleveland County Citizens, Taxpayers and Preachers too, need to look into the mirror and see for yourselves \u201cThe Cause of Cleveland County\u2019s Decline!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Editor\u2019s Note: This issue is still all over the news.
