I've been following other blogs, especially people from my mommy site and simply need somewhere to vent! Hopefully one day I'll get my blog looking nice with pics etc... but for now this will do.
I cannot believe how ridiculous and crazy some people are. One mom is disgusted and wants go back to Canada. Others talk about how stupid people were for voting for Obama. As if this one man has the power to completely change the future of our country. Or there was much difference between him and "Maverick McCain".
Others say God won't bless us, horrible immoral people that we are and if I'm not even trying to be a Christian how dare I tell them how they should be behaving. I've read the Bible, Koran and Torah, the Bible more than once. (who doesn't enjoy historical FICTION!!!!) I'm pretty sure I have the ability to decipher Christ's message. You know, Christ as in Christian? These "hypochristians" as I've chosen to label them, just pick and choose quotes from whatever parts of the book that seem to suit them. I take particular offense to the convenient quoting of the Old Testament, you know that book those Jews wrote that was simply not good enough for them. When Jesus said turn the other cheek he only meant ....I'm gonna go with an eye for an eye. What a big suprise! Abortion is wrong but the death penalty is not. How convenient! Let he who is without sin... Oh wait I get to decide, cool. Blessed are the poor,meek etc... those Democrats are going to raise my taxes and give them to the poor? How dare they! After all every single person on welfare is just having babies to get more money.
Oh, I could go on forever and probably will have at least a million more posts about this particular subject. I wasn't even all that fond of Obama but now I can't tell you how delighted I am to have been a part of the big F U this election sent to the conservative hypochristians in this country.

I know what you mean, I have to deal with a crazy ex-pastor at work everyday.
Hmmmm... Is this Tracey??? Sounds like a certain TC I know... ;)
It is crazy how some people responded. I was rather shocked to read an entire blog referring to all of the mom's who voted for Obama as "idiots". I didn't think name calling was appropriate. Also, "the old white guy" comment seems to be getting a lot of backlash. How is "old white guy" worse than "not going to an obama rally" because you "aren't a qualified sniper". I guess a joke about killing someone is ok as long as you don't call him "old and white"! I just don't like all of the name calling and nastiness toward the people that voted for obama. they had a right to vote too.
I'm not sure who this is but I agree with you! I think a lot of us on the board feel the same way. A select few have taken that group and made it into something for their own agenda. It is a shame, that use to be a great outlet for me as a new mom. It is also a shame how some can use religion to spew hate and ignorance. I was SHOCKED at how nasty it became toward Obama supporters. Last time I checked we live in a democracy and we have the right, just as much as they do, to an opinion.
And to the "republic" for which it stands... Even grade-schoolers know this is a republic, not a democracy. We DO have a democratic process, but it is, for the time being, a republic. Just a though.
Pots and kettles, people. I don't like being lumped together with the nastiness that comes out on the boards.
I don't care about the "old white guy" comment and I still think my sniper joke was funny. It was, after all, a joke.
As for agendas... if there were an agenda for the mommy group, other than a place for mommies to make friends and do things together, then don't you think people would be removed?
Anyway, my only request is that you don't lump everyone together. I don't agree with most people on most topics... doesn't matter what they think they stand for...
Tracey, if this is your blog, I'm sorry for responding to your responders on your space :o You and I don't agree on much, but I don't think I've ever disrespected you.
Take care.
