Whether you like Obama or not.....

Hello Stephen,


I had some fun messin' with some conservative guys last night after seeing the play
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."  We all head out with the cast of the plays afterwards for a bite to eat and laugh a lot at some of the goofs that were made during the performance, and all that stuff.  Pete knows them all.  I know some of them. One girl who flirts with Pete a lot is married to a guy who is very conservative in his political beliefs.  So, as the consummate RABBLE ROUSER that I try so hard to be at all times, (my trademark), I handed him my phone full of "meme" photos and stuff, and when he looked through them all, he laughed at some, cringed at others, and argued with me about more he saw as he scrolled through them.  


At one point, he said something along the lines of women issues, which of course, made me speak up loud and clear about the whole thing---if women have no control over their own birth control medication, and their own UTERUS, then I will start the grassroots movement to make male masturbation illegal because it's wasting precious God-giving, LIFE-giving FLUID...and Viagra would also be made illegal because you're going against God's rule of "hey, buddy, you're done." You shoulda seen these 2 guys, (they were sitting across from one another, and both spouting off all this bullshit about it), their faces just went completely WHITE, and they both looked down at the same time, and said absolutely NOTHING in response.


Pete laughed later on the way home about it, and said, "You really shook them up, they know that the whole stupid issue is just stupid and wrong, and yet they couldn't even say to you, "Gee yeah, you have made a pretty good point there, I guess I should CHANGE MY MIND about it, or at least give it more contemplation."


Nope. Because they can't.  The one guy said to me, when he saw one of my photos about how peace in the world can only happen when more love is spread around, or something like that, and he says, "Nah, that'll never happen."  Immediately I spit out, "Not with men like YOU around it won't."  He looked at me and grinned, "Yeah, well, it's just not realistic."  I said, "Not with men like YOU around, it isn't. But it could be, if you'd just open your mind once in awhile."  He looked down again and said nothing.  I had a lotta fun messin' with these 2 guys about a lotta stuff last night, and they both took it with lighthearted banter, not hate-filled arguments.


So, I want to dedicate THIS to all the uptight, holier-than-though, stick-up-their-butt conservatives who live their lives in fear so much, they never really learn how to live at all..................................and with that, I leave you with a very Happy Easter wish, and a sloppy wet kiss on your gorgeous face...even if YOU, dear Sir, are one of them. I will open MY mind, and let that slight imperfection of yours go, because I love ya no matter what.


Love, Rebecca  Ps. I don't know who wrote this, but wow, it packs quite a whallop!!




Dear Obama haters,

To your distress, for most of the rest of your life, you will bear this: That Barack Obama, whether re-elected or not, will always be President.

He will always be the man from a mixed race background that became the President of the US, he and his wife will be welcomed throughout the world by nations and their leaders, the most influential members of the arts and sciences will be their acquaintances and companions.

He will be regarded and honored as the President who entered office during a deep recession and two wars and turned the country around.

You will always justify your lack of achievement on the unfairness of every system, your lack of success on the government or regulation, and your failure to accomplish anything in a country where impoverished immigrants with limited language skills are succeeding around you on the liberals or the communists or the elites.

The small satisfaction you garner while spouting derisive comments here only exists in your self-delusion and is a pale comfort compared to the reality that exists around you.

You can try to salve your bitter existence with theories of international Kenyan plots or document fraud, whatever.

But that is your future.

Your world will always be limited by your small-mindedness, your associates only those that are as poorly adapted to the world around them, your accomplishments non-existent and your life a bitter existence.

It's time to move on.

In your journey into denial, you've already sacrificed your conscience and whatever claim to character you had.

Your pretense at a deity derived morality is mocked by your myopic hatred of the 'other'.

Your concept of patriotism is waving a child's flag on the sidelines as others defend your liberty.

Bush 41 and spouse are living into their nineties, the Obama's will too. You'll see them at the inaugurals, your TV will tell you of their lives and that of their daughters, of their successes and their trips and the books they write and their accolades.

Make it easy on yourself.

Take a deep cleansing breath and just let go, make the best of your situation.

Whether re-elected or not, he will always be the 44th President of the United States, and your children and their children will read of him in their history books, the first black man elected president of the U.S.

If not re-elected, he will be healthier and wealthier than he is as President, but he is willing to make that sacrifice for you.

You still live in a free country made more safe and prosperous by your President, and he, the First Lady and their children will always have you in their prayers.

Taking America forward instead of taking America back.
