If God's on my side, who's on yours?

There have been many players on the national stage who have caught my fancy over the past few months, but none more so that Rick Perry and Tim Tebow. And for the same reasons. What's that you say, gg? You're thinking: What possibly could Rick Perry and Tim Tebow share that could command the gg's attention, other than the fact that they must both have done something to make him grouchy. Well, let me explain. I understand that both Perry and Tebow are persons of great accomplishment and I take nothing from them in that regard. But what sends the grouch meter into near-earth orbit is the fact that both are so wont to attribute their achievments to the personal intervention of the Almighty on their behalf at the expense of others. One of the first things out of Perry's mouth when he first announced he was entering the GOP primary race was that God had asked him to do it. Compare that to Tebow's now famous one knee-bowed head "Great Thinker" pose that he slides so publicly into following a Denver Broncos victory, the ostensible purpose of which is to thank the Creator (the same creator that made the Pittsburgh Steeler players, coaches and fans) for arranging for the Broncos victory and for his own personal stardom. The gg is especially fond of Tim Tebow for his character and competitiveness--I only wish he would grow to understand that God has more important work to do in the world than to advance the particular fortunes of the Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow. So enough already with the Tebow slide, okay Tim? Or maybe save it for the locker room. As for Rick, I only wish he would grow to understand that his God is a loving God who would never allow the likes of him to be foisted on the American people. So drop the "God is on my side" rhetoric, okay Rick? Until these guys heed my advice, their antics will continue to make me a very grouchy geezer.
