I was always told that there are a few things that may be improper to discuss publicly; among those, religion and politics. I have really tried to behave and follow those guidelines, but unfortunately cannot hold back any longer, besides, i figure if you are taking the time to read this, you are most likely either family or friends, and already know where I stand. I am a God-fearing Christian woman, and feel that as such it is my responsibility to choose public officials that share my same values and beliefs. I don't always consider myself republican. Although I find that for the most part, their conservative views represent my own. Even they have disappointed me from time to time, so lets just say I'm a conservative, and whatever partisan group that puts me in that's where I am. I believe that killing babies is wrong. I will not support a politician that thinks otherwise, else my views wouldn't be represented. I believe marriage is not a social arrangement, but rather a union honored by God Almighty, and should only be between a man and a woman. Lets not forget why Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed, it is not natural and displeases God. During the recent election I was troubled to hear that many of my Christian friends were voting for Barack Obama. Preachers, Ministers and church goers alike were flocking to the vote to "make history". Was it because of the color of his skin? Is voting for someone SOLELY because of the color of his skin not just as racist as NOT voting for someone just because of the color of their skin? Does it matter to these Christians that the person they elected into office supports things that their Lord and Savior DOES NOT support? I wish someone could answer these questions for me...Anyway!!! Moving on...There are a few people that I would like to mention...
Starting with...Janeane Garofalo...for those of you who don't know who she is, don't feel bad, she hasn't been doing much lately and has made a recent bid not to float away into obscurity...which is what put her on my list today...Regarding the Tea Parties that were taking place all over America on Tax Day...I feel that these were completely legitimate. I agree with the complaint of many of the people out there that day. My three children will bear the tax burden put in place by our recent stimulus debacle. They will be paying for Pig Odor Research and Water Parks, Honey Bee Farms and New Snazzy Hybrid Cars (Made in Japan) to replace the current Federal Automobile Fleet. People have a right to be upset, and that silly ol' Constitution gives them a right to be vocal with their qualms...but our friend Janeane doesn't agree. This is what she said on MSNBC talking to Keith Olbermann about the Tea Parties...
"they have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about, they dont know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up. That is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks."
Now, let me remind you that these were perfectly peaceful protests...perhaps this brainless idiot would have been happier with the protests if they had sacrificed a fetus or two while they were there. Please Janeane, spare us your political nonsense and go back to taking secondary roles in D-List movies that no one cares to watch. I'm over it. And to Keith Olbermann for so anxiously jumping on Janeane's bandwagon of hate...Is that Journalism?

Miss California, Carrie Prejean; This is a beautiful young woman who, during the Miss USA Pageant April 19, 2009 was asked a question about her views on Gay Marriage, to which she replied...
"We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman."She was, of course, blasted for her views, but stood up for what she believed in nonetheless, and for that I applaud her. She's my Hero for the day.
