Politics...

Good Morning.

Okay. I am struggling to type this entry out. It may be like one of those emails where you type all you are feeling and then delete or erase it before hitting send. I maybe need to keep this one under drafts or put it somewhere safe. (((pregnant pause))) I can't help it and feel very compelled to type and post in order to move forward with my day. And, it should be noted that I rarely make time to put out entries in the morning. I mean, really, my time of day is NIGHT; I am too busy struggling with getting out of the bed in the morning!

SOoooooooo, one lesson that stayed with me from Girl Scouts when we were outside my troop leader's home learning to make fires without the use of matches was There are some discussion you should never have with friends. Those are: religion, money, relationships, and politics. Now, keep in mind I was a Girl Scout in elementary school and my memory to that time is not the best. I've always kept that conversation in the back of my head.

I hate discussing politics. I seldom bring up how I choose/plan to vote unless I am with my family or in the company of those I trust. I can't help today to bring up something (small) that is really getting under my skin. I am just going to put it out there so I can continue doing what I need to do and not end up late for work!

Here we go:

It bothers me. I mean, it REALLY bothers me when people bash Rev. Jeremiah Wright for what they feel are ignorant, crazy things. However, this gets deeper. These are the same people that have been followers of Bush for two terms and can't see how ignorant or crazy he is. Um, can we say "slow down"? For those not familiar with the quote, that is what Bush said we were experiencing--not a recession...(sigh)

Please don't get it twisted. My being bothered is not sharing any political platform of who to vote for...Rev. Wright is being connected way too much to Obama at this point. Understand that money talks, and he is likely getting some nice checks which is why he continues to open his mouth.

My purpose for this entry is only to share my confusion with those who could quickly join Facebook groups, get on television or radio, etc., and have plenty to say about Wright but have yet to acknowledge the man that is leading this nation has the sense of a flea.

My apologies to those of you I've offended this morning! It's so seldom that I do it that I think we can forgive and forget.




Happy Birthday, Mother!!!!
