[...] foray into the margins of American politics but no full on body contact, I assure you. I read this post yesterday and I must admit that I have rarely read something that so fully expressed my own [...]

Honestly, I could not have written how I feel about the subject of abortion any better than you just did. Amazingly eloquent. Obviously, I agree with everything that you wrote and applaud the very fact that you wrote it.

I try to stray from ultra-conservatives because I’m simply too much of a loudmouth to be unoffensive. However, I do have one friend who is on the completely other side of the fence as I am regarding politics (and religion.) My parents and my in laws are also very conservative, very Republican. You can’t pick your family, but you can pick your friends and I just have a hard time being friends with someone I have no respect for. It boggles my mind when people place money as #1 on their list of important things in life and it seems more and more as if this is the only thing Republicans care about. Their money their money their money. Now, don’t get me wrong. We are downright struggling financially but I would personally rather find ways to cut costs and live a simpler life in order to be gentler on the environment and to help others who struggle far worse than we do. I simply cannot understand putting so much energy into outlawing abortion (particularly in the first trimester and as a result of rape or a medical necessity), outlawing sex education and access to contraceptions, fighting gay rights, etc WHEN OUR WORLD IS DETERIORATING AND SO MANY ARE STARVING. Wow, how dare us Democrats give a shit about our children’s future. Shame on us for believing that everyone should have good, affordable healthcare. But of course, we’re all devoid of morals and need to get right with God. Because God tells us so many times in the Bible about how important it is to be at the top of the money making machine. Right? Right.

Obviously, we are completely right and everyone else is a moron:) Personally, I am convinced that voting for McCain is voting for four more years of Bush policies. He voted in line with Bush 90% of the time. If Bush has such low approval ratings, how does McCain have so many supporters? These people HAVE to be ignorant (okay, maybe not ignorant, but definitely misguided).

I think it’s funny how we always imagine that people must think the way we do. ‘Cause we’re like smart and all.
The crystalline fount of Duh feeds many a river. I’d take the polar opposite to you and Carrie’s position, but that doesn’t make me think that either one of you is an idiot. It’s been a long road, however, for me to get to the point that I’m able to think that way. And I don’t always succeed. It’s much easier to think the person uninformed, unintelligent, or selfishly jerkish.
Your final point- huh- is a good one. We need more of those moments.

Carrie,

I fail to see the problem with those things, either!

I’m with you. I don’t get how anyone can disagree with me. And I must be right because you’re right and you agree with me and we are all happy together, right?

Today a conservative person I know posted a link to an article about how evil liberals are. It showed all the horrific things that will happen if Obama gets the White House. Everyone will get health care coverage from cradle to grave! No Child Left Behind will be retracted! Businesses will no longer get tax breaks! Gay people will be able to get married!

Run for your lives!

I am so bad. I had to make a comment to her and say “Yes, I sincerly hope so!” I don’t see how anyone can view those things as bad.
