Tastes Like Chicken,
That was a wonderful post. You hit the nail on the head with me. I see too much "loyalty" to political leaders these days. I have disciminating tastes in friends and people I like to hang around with. These days it is very politically incorrect to discriminate. But I do discriminate very much. I stay very much away from people who are liars, blowhards, selfish, and self-serving. Life is too short to play that game. People like the Clintons, Jes.Jackson, and all the guys who can't keep their zipper shut, I have no time for, Republicans too.
All of my friends don't act that way. We drink beer, we use colorful language, and generally have a helluva good time. But we have learned from our excesses of the past and strive to do what is right. I, too, attend my Methodis church regularly. I hate to see people box churchgoers as weirdo's out of touch with much of America. I am very much in touch with America, I just see things going on in America that make it much more difficult to raise my 2 kids in the way that is right.
I can see both sides of many of the Republican and Democratic issues. But, I would like to see more people stand up for proper behavior, lack of moral leadership is killing this country. I am not a prude but I know right from wrong as do all of my friends. It kills me to see people say that character doesn't matter in a President. Issues are important, but we needer a leader who can be respected. It frankly saddens me that so many people have been willing to overlook Clintons constant lies and selfserving behavior. If a Republican would have done this I would have been first in line to have him removed.
Everyone, do the right thing, give Bush some time. He is a breath of fresh air in Washington. If he can't cut the mustard, let's bring someone else in, but I sure like what I see.
Tastes Like Chicken, thanks again for the wonderful post. |
