It's Day 1..Sunday

This blog is my way of letting loose all the craziness I see these days. Some people will read this and think "She's just a liberal nut case" others might agree with my rantings. Either way, maybe we'll be able to have some real discussions without name calling or mudslinging. We'll see.

To start off, I am in my 40's. (actually, I AM 40) I come from a long line of conservative Mormon republicans. They are very smart, very religeous, and most of all, my family...so I respect what they think. I usually don't agree with them, but I still listen.

I am married, I am a mom. I vote in every election, and I respect the laws of our land..again, I don't always agree with them, but I don't go out of my way to break them.

I voted for President Obama. I didn't like George W. Bush at all. Not because he was a republican, but because he really didn't have a clue as how to lead this nation. I think President Obama still has a mess to work with, but I believe he is doing his best. I think I should add that if Obama hadn't been elected, I would have supported John McCain. The OFFICE of the President should always be shown respect. ALWAYS! Like I said earlier, I didn't like Bush, but I still showed his office respect.

I am a HUGE supporter of Same-sex marriage. That surprises most people because I am Mormon, but I really do believe that gay people should be allowed the same civil liberties as so called "straight" people. I have a very hard time with homophobic people. I have a hard time with "Church sanctioned gay bashing." This is a battle that I have joined. People need to step out of the "Bible Box" and look at the world for what it really is. Walk in the shoes of the people you fight. Gain a better understanding of those around you. The world isn't a bad place. If we can just accept thise around us, and maybe, just maybe, show them a little love, you might view things the way I do..brighter, happier, full of hope. It took me some time, but I love the differences in the world. It makes life a lot more interesting!

Well, I'll rant some more later..right now I have to go be a mom. Peace to everyone!
