and eyepatch?? and eyepatch..? wow mayeb I should just hire someone to type for me...lol

typos, typos, typos

When I wrote it I was going to come back later and edit.

As far as not letting the past taint the present. When I came into town I went to look up an old friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. I went by her family house and had to ask her mothers husband how I could get in touch with her. He told me that he didn't think that would be a good idea as her boyfriend "used" to be a grand dragon in the KKK. That brought back old feelings like a flood... needless to say.

I don't blame a whole nationality for anything. But feelings are feelings, perspectives are perspectives and my scars still taint and will always taint them both. Sometimes I think about going back to school for that journalism degree. And to me... I would think the only way to be fair and balanced would be to stay honest about why I'm coming from where I'm coming from ever consciouse of what I 'think' and what I 'know'.

Thanks Patch.

Lack of emotion IS an emotion, isn't it?
I watch children play, they don't see color. It is a learned behavior. Ignorance creates prejudice. To take any one characteristic and use it to hate, is ignorance.
Statueman, I am not pro abortion. I do not want the government to tell me, as a women, what my moral choices are. Here is what I have a problem with. What happens to all of those precious babies born to mothers that don't want them? They are not given up for adoption. They are victims. ALL DAY LONG, I watch the news and see children killing children. Why? I blame parents. These children didn't know a gun or drugs or anger and violence when concieved. It came to them after they were born.
Why is it wrong to teach personal responsibility to boys and girls, in hopes they learn to not get pregnant? When communities accept teen pregnancy, or just women having child after child, with no support or husband, what do they expect the outcome to be?

I plan on voting for McCain as well. Seems like this country wants to move towards Socialism, similar to our European friends. The problem with this idea, is the fact that Socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. Obama can package his plan, and even give it a different name, but the fact of the matter is that its still Socialism!

I am not a racist, bigot, mean vindictive person, and yet still a Republican. Some of the most hateful comments/language actually comes from the far left. Talk about hateful, try reading some of their material! I believe in personal responsibility, less government, oil independence, and lower taxes. The left hates people like me. I am happy to talk with liberal Democrats, and will even listen to all their comments, but I am not shy about explaining the flaws of liberalism. I do speak my mind. A philosophy has to be built on logic, not feelings.

OK... for the first time in sometime I used the delete button to delete the religious conversation between jimbobbob and myself.

The point of this blog was to point out that many republican bloggers lack any sensitivity in their presentation of their conservative beliefs. Blame this on the left if you want but the truth is that if you are claiming a higher standard then you should be at least presenting the best possible patience and compassionion. Without that the Christian Conservative Republican movement is doomed to be ultimately blamed for the evils in this country.

Many claim goodness while presenting intolerance disguised as uncompromising morality. The said same will admit to being sinners without acknowledging what that sin is... and this because they do not see their intolerance as sin but as righteousness. Persecute their intolerance and you are persecuting their righteousness.

Jimbob, I don't like labels. They are confining and prejudicial, yet apparently, some feel more comfortable using them to express themselves.
It is beyond me to understand your message. I do not define myself by my opinions, but if I was forced to, as I feel now, I am a conservative liberal. I am saying this to you. I do not hate anyone. EVER! Hate is wasted energy. I have forgiven people of heinous acts towards me. I have more joy in knowing there behavior will not destroy me or define me.
Sometimes, you confuse me.
We all have the same rights as you to say what we feel. I believe people may be more receptive of your opinions, if you would not use blanket statements. I know we all do it sometimes, but to accuse all liberals of hate is just wrong.

It wasn't just jimbobbobs posts that I deleted but our whole scriptural conversation since it was nothing in it was relevant to the blog.

It's funny but now I'm watching Cuba Gooding Jr and Beyonce Knowles in "Fighting Temptations" and the last song in the movie is the chior at a chior competition entitled "I ain't good enough, but he still loves me." Love those chior movies... Sister Act movies too.

Anywho... I mention the movie because it reminds me to keep to the script. And argueing about scripture isn't something I want in my life.

Well, how do I get to myfoxla?
If you get a chance, go into my archives, I believe Feb 08. The post is "How can the right be so wrong?" It had 123 responses and I believe Jimbob and I got into it over the scripture issue. The post is basically about the "right" claiming their moral hierarchy. I think. I should be sleeping, but I am addicted to blogging....I think I need an intervention. LOL
