it means nothing . . .

once it is born.

I'll never understand that the party that pretends to care so much for the fetus, cares so little for it once its born.

Honestly, cheering about a question on a 30 year old man dying who has no health insurance?

Unwilling to tax the wealthiest while in the meantime our poverty rates soar?

Spending billions of dollars for a never ending war while unwilling to make sure that our schools are adequately funded?

Cheering when a candidate boasts about the execution of 234 prisoners, but not asking about what we as a society can do to reduce crime, eradicate poverty, and boost the middle class?

Disgusted & appalled.

And yet many of them call themselves "good Christians." Honestly, I despair of this world.

I'm disgusted too. I bite my tongue when my 13 year old students parrot the crap they hear from their parents or on the TV. They know not what they say. Ugh..

Oh, I found it amusing that this ad:

showed up just below your post. ;D

I'm ramping up my outrage; I refuse to be a bystander.

Disgusting!

Sigh.. One of the reason I do not like mindless parents - the children become like them, unthinking of the real world. Getting fed by the media all the time. And who controls the media? Righto.

You said it. In fact, you said it well!

I'm with Mrs. Chili. Its time to ORGANIZE and ACT and confront all this madness with peaceful, non-violent action and resistance By The People. And I'm doing so NOW. I remember the catch phrase when the AIDS pandemic first hit the scene--Silence = Death and how poignant that was for members of the LGBT communities. That is the case now more than ever and far beyond HIV/AIDS.
